Windows Forms Error icon tooltip not visible when editing a cell
Hi, I copy/paste the code from the DatagridView FAQ "How do I show the error icon when the user is editing the cell " but the errorTooltip isn't diplayed when the user move the cursor over the error icon (but the CPU is 100% !!!!) I'm using a datagridview bounded to a dataview Any idea Thanks for your help That is correct. To correctly show the error icon and have the tooltip correctly show when its over the icon you'll need to create a custom DataGridViewCell that overrides GetErrorIconBounds. Without doing this, the grid still thinks the error icon is under the editing control. -mark ...Show All
Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Deployment
Hi all We have just started our work with VSTO enabled documents. We have made our first Proof-Of-Concept solution, which works in our development environment. So now we have come to the next level, deciding and implementing our deployment strategy. So I was wondering if any of you could provide some help, links to guides, or just general comments on "how-to". Our primary deployment strategy is to store both the actual templates and the managed code dll on the network. Currently we have only one dll pr template - but that may change when we get more and more templates, and are able to reuse some of the code. So in a deployment ...Show All

Visual C# Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition: Continue execution after unhandled exception
Thanks for the time. Having a Delphi backgound I am used to raising exceptions for almost anything that could go wrong. I'd catch the exception, add a user friendly message and raise another exception. This is more a VS Editor related question than exception handling itself. The thing is whenever I throw a new exception outside of a try...catch block a "Exception was unhandled" dialog box appears and the editor will not continue execution. When running the EXE this functionality work as I require it to, but while debugging I would like to continue and the exception should be displayed on sceen. I'm sure this is a new addition to th ...Show All

Visual C++ Dialog boxes as controls
I have a dialog-based application where I have created a blank dialog as a main dialog window. Let's call it MainDlg. I also created a resource template for a dialog that it is to be used as a control. This control is a tester and I plan on having two of them in the client area of MainDlg. Using the class wizard, I created a class for this dialog called CTesterDlg. I created two member variables of type CTesterDlg in MainDlg , m_dlgTester1, m_dlgTester2. In the main dialog's InitDialog method, I call Create for the two instances and am able to position them where I want using their SetWindowPos methods. So far, so good! In my te ...Show All

SQL Server this is so cheap
There has to be a way of controlling the width of the drop down box for multi-value parameters. Users are practically laughing at me when I show them their report and they can only see the first 1/4 of the text in the drop down box. what am I supposed to tell them Keep sliding the stupid bar back and forth It is these seamingly easy things that drive me nuts.

Visual Studio Express Editions TreeView question #2
Hi Is there any way to get a TreeView which is being populated with Files to read the appropriate file icons for each of the files I do have a useful program (Audacity) which can rip icons from files, but I suspect that would be a rather long and laborious procedure. Is there any inbuilt function or method to do this kind of thing Even just the system file icons would do most of the job for me. It is a bit boring when I just have one folder icon and one file icon to display in the TreeView. How are you populating the files If you are doing it and not a binding it's easy. If you are using a binding ... I'd say ...Show All
