• Windows Forms ContextMenuStrip Problems

  Hello Everyone, VS BETA 2 I have a MenuStrip with the standard items.  I wish to create a contextmenu dynamically with the edit menu dropdown items in it.  Obviously I don't wish to duplicate event handlers and of course I don't want to hard code the creation of the items. Why does the contextmenustrip remove items from the original list when adding them to the contextmenustrip. columnDataGridViewContextMenuStrip.Items.Add Is there any work around just to reference these items without duplicating them for each contextmenustrip I am sure I am missing something.... :-) Also of interest is that adding a seperator to a contextm ...Show All

• Windows Forms A question regarding inheritance and interace implementation

  Hi, Just out of curious. I have a class B, which is a sub-class of class A. Class B also implements interface I. Both A and I have a method called Update. Now my question is how to implement I.Update in class B in such a way that compiler doesn't give you the following complaint. Thanks. The keyword new is required on 'B.Update()' because it hides inherited member 'A.Update()' If I understand correctly you’ve got something like this...         interface I         {          &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Text is being cut off

  I am using Crystal.Net in VS 2003. Sometimes, the text gets cut off on the right side of a text field. The only thing that I can find in common with all of the text fields that exhibit this behavior is that the data being displayed is actually a text datatype in a SQL Server 2000 database. It just breaks words right in the middle instead of pushing the word to the next line. Is there anyway to keep it from cutting off the text right click on the textfield - format field - common tab, check "can grow" checkbox ...Show All
