• Windows Forms ToolStripButton - Form requires focus

  Hi, a form always requires focus for the ToolStripButtons to work. How Can I change that so I can directly click on a ToolStripButton when the form doesn't have focus Thanks, Tom Tom Frey wrote: Hi, a form always requires focus for the ToolStripButtons to work. How Can I change that so I can directly click on a ToolStripButton when the form doesn't have focus Thanks, Tom I don't think that's directly possible with the .NET ToolStrip control. It won't be handling any messages if the parent form is not in focus. You could try catching mouse messages in the parent form, and if the mouse is ov ...Show All

• .NET Development Taskbar resize notification

  Hi All I have a windows Form based application which is developed using C#. My problem is, when my form is not maximized and the taskbar is dragged up, my form does not adjust its size automatically as other applications do. But if my form is maximized and I drag the taskbar, it resizes itself accordingly. My form has several panels inside it. Is there a way by which I can find out in my form if the taskbar has been resized. I have tried using SPI_GETDRAGFULLWINDOWS and SPI_GETWORKAREA to get the working area size and repaint my form in OnPaint override. But that does not seem the right way to do it. Is there a better wa ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to Delete Records from Sorted DataGrid, , Programmatically

  I have a Delete button on a form and a datagrid (forms). When I sort the datagrid and run my Delete Routine, I end up deleting with reference from the row number.

How would I get the absolute row position of a row in a sorted datagrid It seems like the ticket but what datagrid event should I use to detect which column has been sorted, and whether it's sorted ascending/descending ...Show All
