• Smart Device Development Maximized borderless forms on Pocket PC

  Hi, after migrating an existing application to .NET CF 2.0 I experience an ugly behaviour with my maximized, borderless forms: I'm displaying stacked modal forms e.g. one modal form opens another, then that one closes etc. The not-so-nice thing is that now under CF 2.0, the Windows Start menu is briefly visible between the close of the child form and the redraw of the parent form. This was working nicely under CF 1.0 and seems to be a problem of ...Show All

  Need to write a custom control to allow in-place editing, similar to that in a word processor, but user could edit ONLY those underlined (or similar specially marked) words in sentences -- not to allow editing the whole sentence or page. Appearance should look like a hyperlinked label, but not to function as a hyperlink. As the user enters longer text than the original, all the text on the right side of it should shift acc ...Show All

  Hi there! I'm using Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 (mainly C#). With the most recent MSDN subscribtion update the disks containing the MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2005 (Professional Edition) were delivered. Now I though by me happily "Great!
