C#

Thanks James, that did the trick.

Never mind. I found it.

Look at the IsInputKey protected method on the usercontrol. protected override bool IsInputKey(Keys keyData) { // Arrow keys are not considered input keys for this control, // need to override this method to make them so if (keyData == Keys.Left || keyData == Keys.Right || keyData == Keys.Up || keyData == Keys.Down) return true; else return base.IsInputKey(keyData); } Then I think the OnKey* events will fire for it, the docs aren't too clear on that aspect. Your control will have to have the UIPermission.AllWindows security permission to run that code however. HTH, James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Not be to confused with 'The VD Project'.

Thanks for that info James and Mazdak!!! :-D pointed me in the right direction. Anyway for anyone who is still having problems displaying XP style controls. i found the following site on msdn useful. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/dv\_vbvcstechart/html/vbtchUsingWindowsXPVisualStylesWithControlsOnWindowsForms.asp?frame=true Kenbloke

Try searching the DOTNET mailing list archives; here is one post that might help a little bit, though I could have sworn I've seen more similar to what you're trying to find.

Like this: SomeObject obj = new SomeObject(); Component1.Prop1 = obj; Component2.Prop2 = obj; All objects are refered to through "object references". You can freely pass this object reference to any part of your system. -- Peter Stephens

Yes,I think for begining,it is not necessary to upgrade:) Travis D. Mathison wrote: --- After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless ... nice:) Mazy You can find a solution (even a foolish one) for all problems (even big ones)

Thanks James,I found it :-D Mazy You can find a solution (even a foolish one) for all problems (even big ones)

Thanks for all the help!! ParseControl now works perfectly :-)

"public" is contrasted with "internal". public classes can be accessed outside of the assembly that contains them. internal classes can only be accessed by other classes in the same assembly. -- Peter Stephens

I found the solution to my managed C++ problem. I had to add a #using <System.dll> to the program. Stupid newbie mistake... :)

Assuming test is your array and the data stored in the particular row you want is a string. ((string[]) test[myrow]).Length; HTH, James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Not be to confused with 'The VD Project'. Which would be a very bad pr0n flick. :-D" - Michael P Butler Jan. 18, 2002

Thanks a bunch guys :)

I don't think there is a pure .NET way to do this. You'll have to use p/invoke and call into some system dlls (winsock2?) to get the information. I don't have any experience with winsock to know where to look though. James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Not be to confused with 'The VD Project'.

Hi James Thanks a lot It worked after using the tool to convert the .resx files:)

myform.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None; This works on a form with default settings. James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Not be to confused with 'The VD Project'. Which would be a very bad pr0n flick. :-D" - Michael P Butler Jan. 18, 2002
