I have a WinForm that I do not want the use to resize. I don't see a Resizable property that I can set to false. So I enforced it by setting the maximum and minimum size of the form to the same. First of all, is there a better way to do that? Secondly, I don't want the cursor changing when...

I have a list of items to display to users in a VB.NET WinForm app. The list will be mostly plain text, with some hyperlinks sprinkled in, as well. I don't want the text to be edited. (Probably not relevent, but the text is coming from a stored procedure, one "item"/line per row of the...

I have a ListView with several ListViewItems, each ListViewItem has an item and 4 SubItems. My ListView has a bunch of empty ListViewItems that I need to remove from the ListView. Could someone please help me with a little sub into which I could pass a ListView and it will remove all but 5...

I have a form with two buttons in the lower-right hand corner that I've anchored with the Designer to the top-left. My form's Minimum, Maximum, and starting size are all fixed at the same size, i.e. it won't be resized. At one point in my app, there is more stuff than fits on the form...

I have a sub that changes the cursor using: Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor Later in the code, I use: Cursor = Cursors.Default to change it back. But the cursor switches back to Default prematurely - before that line is actually executed (as observed when stepping through with the...

I have the following event handler: Private Sub lvwRequests_auth_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles lvwRequests_auth.ItemCheck If lvwRequests_auth.CheckedItems.Count = 0 Then btnApprove_auth.Enabled = False btnView_auth.Enabled =...

I am on an admin on my home PC and my kids have a "limited user" account. I've used "1st Security Agent" (http://www.softheap.com/newadmin.html) to further limit their damaging abilities :-) Somehow, however, their default printer got set to "Fax" instead of our actual printer and they have no...

I am firing an event from within a loop: Private Sub btnCompleted_impl_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCompleted_impl.Click btnCompleted_impl.Enabled = False Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor Dim lvi As ListViewItem For Each lvi In...

How can I have my VB.NET desktop app restart itself. In other words, when the user clicks on "Restart the wizard" button, it should relaunch itself. (I have the EXE runnable from a URL, if that helps anything...) Thanks, Dot

This really disturbs me. I have a value that unexplainably and surprisingly changed in front of my eyes in the Watch window. It made no sense to me. Without advancing execution, I checked the same exact (trust me - it was exactly the same) value in the Command (Immediate) window - and it was...

I've spent hours and hours on this and would be most grateful if someone could help me get some sleep. I've got the following two subs: Private Sub EraseAllAccountRelatedControls() Dim x As String 'dummy value Dim ctl As Control For Each ctl In Controls If ctl Is Nothing = False...

I have a ListView with FullRowSelect=True. When I select an row (i.e. a ListViewItem) the selected row turns blue, as I'd expect. Here's the problem: I need to set HideSelection=False. When I do that, the selected ListViewItem no longer is highlighted in blue, but rather in grey. This bugs...

Is there a way to prevent a user from moving column-headers in a ListView? I don't want to disable the control, because the colors (and my ListViewItem images) get all grayed-out. Thanks! Dot

I have this line in my SelectedIndexChanged event: Dim SelectedClassID As Integer = CType(lvwRequestSummary.SelectedItems(0).Tag, Integer) The tag is set to a valid integer. That does not seem to be the problem. On the first fire of this event, this line works and the variable is properly...

When you add long strings to a ListView control, all of the string is added to the items collection, but the control only displays the first 259 characters of each item. I've seen the KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321104 - but their brilliant "resolution"...

I have a textbox (along with a "submit" command-button and a couple other controls) in a UserControl which, in turn, sits on a form. I am trying to give the textbox Focus when the UserControl loads. In the constructor of the UserControl, I do a txtFilter.Focus() but it doesn't work. (In case...

How do I simply change the size and boldness of a font of a label without changing the font-family? lblClassName.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Times New Roman", 14, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold) ...is more than I want - I don't want to change the font-family. Thanks, Dot

Does anyone know of any freeware (or even cheapware :-)) that easily allows a PC admin to regulate when the users on that PC are allowed to login to Windows? Thanks very much! Dot
