Windows Forms

If you don't call Application.Run then the application will stop as soon as it leaves the Main() method. Try it - call new MainForm() without calling the Application.Run. This will end your application before you would normally want to do this. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

You can turn on a flag that makes your C++ code able to use managed classes, and write a managed wrapper for the C++ classes you want to reuse in .NET. C++/CLI is what you're looking to do.

Thanks a lot..:). It worked..

It's not an easy workaround: you'll need to paint it on the title bar yourself. For that you need to handle the WM_NCPAINT and WM_NCHITTEST messages. See DrawFrameControl for how to draw a Windows 2000-style help button (DFC_CAPTION and DFCS_CAPTIONHELP) and DrawThemeBackground/DrawThemeIcon (part WP_HELPBUTTON and the appropriate state) for Windows XP-style themed buttons. For Windows Vista it probably won't work very well since Aero draws the title bars normally, if in 3D mode; if you handle WM_NCPAINT it will turn off the standard frame painting for that window, I believe. You'd probably have to start playing with the Glass API to make it still look like a Windows Vista window. The limitation is from Windows itself: the documentation for CreateWindowEx says "WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP cannot be used with the WS_MAXIMIZEBOX or WS_MINIMIZEBOX styles." In other words, Microsoft did not intend it to be used like this. Edit: yes, I realise this is the Windows Forms forum. You need to override the WndProc method to handle messages that Windows Forms doesn't already translate to method calls/events. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

This app won't run at Windows startup. You told the registry to launch it when a user logs on. Also, if it's not starting up AT ALL when a user logs on, you have to check to see if the path to your .EXE you specified is accurate. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

Thanks very much Pete. Unfortunately upgrading to .NET 3.0 isn't really an option (I'm writing plugins for a .NET 2.0 app) but I'll give StylesSheetManager a go. Cheers! Keiron

Ummm... I think I might have found the answer to my problem: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/database/chatter.asp

I would suggest searching on this site and on google for "Extending ToolBar in C#" etc. you will find many useful things. "All of us who served in one war or another know very well that all wars are the glory and the agony of the young." Gerald Ford

Spamming different 10 forums with the same question is very rude and totally unnecessary. But, the Windows Forms forum is probably the most appropriate place for the question. The answer still doesn't change. If not properly architected, you're looking at a total rewrite, from the ground up. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

Thanks Pete - I really appreciate the reply... it gives me somewhere to start at least. Cheers, Mike
