• Windows Forms Changing text style of one word only within a label to bold or underline

  How can I change the style of a word within a label E.g. if I have a label that says: Enter your user name and I want the word "Enter" to be displayed with an underline and in a blue color, how can I do this I tried using html : <u>Enter</u> . . . but this didn't work. There is a very simple solution-Use two labels next to each other :) For the first label,specify AutoSize = true and then set up the Font color,bold and underline.As for the second label,place it next to the label1 control by deternining the width and height and startposition of label1.Set up nornaml fonts fo ...Show All

• Windows Forms adding controls to child and grand-child grids

  I have a single datagrid which displays parent-child-grandchild data.  The navigation between the entities works great, and I like the "compactness" of a single datagrid with the expanders and web-like links to get to the underlying data.

• Visual Studio Express Editions GIFs as a pseudo-font

  I have a specialized group of GIF images (Similar to some of those used on the 'print a banner' pages on the web). I am cooking up a project to do some printing with these guys. Soooo... Before I have to re-invent every wheel again, I thought I would ask here for some suggestions. I have already tested graphics positioning of images in the printpage event and have some confidence I can handle that, but pointers to examples or code samples would be welcome. I don't care about displaying the GIF 'characters' on the screen, I want to take regular textbox characters and do a 'lookup' of which GIF to use and build some sort of array or coll ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Question about TFS folders

  This might be somewhat of a weird question. The company that I'm writting my thesis for are using Documentum www.documentum.com to handle alle their document versioning, and are as such not really interested in letting alle the important development documents be handled by TFS. Now if, and I dont' know if this is even possible, I was able to write a documentum extension that would somehow let me interface to a specific folder in Documentum, would it be possible to write a TFS or VS IDE add-in that would let me add an extra folder to the project hirarchi in Team Explorer, which when opened could show the content of the Documentum folder So f ...Show All

• Windows Forms Richtextbox help...

  Hi... How do you set the cursor position in a RTB. Like if I want the cursor to move to the end of text, how do I achive this Raj Because the length of the RichText portion of the RichTextBox is variable (depending on the formatting in use), it is far easier to simply determine the length of the plane text and set the SelectionStart position to it (ie the end of the document) ala: richTextBox1.SelectionStart = richTextBox1.Text.Length; ...Show All
