It all works well except that I need to figure out how to signal the GUI thread to update it contents based on the progress of the copy operation - it displays a progress bar and a filename filed that indicates the file it's currently copying.

The Project Designer Security page seems not to suppor ...Show All

  All the forms I place in the MDI are the same size. I am trying to figure out how, when a form is placed on the MDI, no scroll bars appear or rather, the child form fits perfectly in the MDI, has no scroll bars and also, the background of the MDI can not be seen around the edges of the child form. I can do a lot of resizing and make the MDI background the same color, but seems to me a lot of trouble. And, using VS.Net 2003 and C#. Th ...Show All
