Windows Forms

As far as I know, UI elements are attached to the process they're created on and cannot be transferred 'on the fly' to a different process. The only exception is that you can use the SetParent Windows API to show a process's main window inside another process's window. I have achieved this with little success. I don't think you can use this technique with controls though.

I know. There's also no way to make the DataGrid show the child records. That's why I said what I did. He either has to roll his own or use a third party datagrid to do this. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak

How is ignoring encapsulation sounding good? :~ It's an OO world.

Have a look here[^]. Not the highest rated article around but should get you started. Dave Binging is like googling, it just feels dirtier.

thank YOU for leaving I cannot remember: What did I before google?

In C#.net You should handle data error event of the datagridview private void grdGuestServiceDetail_DataError(object sender, DataGridViewDataErrorEventArgs e) { if(e.Context== (DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.Formatting) || e.Context==(DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.PreferredSize)) { e.ThrowException = false; } } and In VB.net Private Sub DataGridView_DataError(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewDataErrorEventArgs) If (e.Context _ = (DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.Formatting Or DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.PreferredSize)) Then e.ThrowException = false End If

This was quite a while ago :) I finished the project but I have no idea what kind of workaround was required... At my current project we use Janus GridEx instead of the standard WinForms DataGrid(View) which is pretty neat. http://www.janusys.com/controls/

Use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

Technically speaking, you cannot prevent a second instance from coming up, but you can code your app in such a way that it detects if an instance is already running and pass on the command-line arguments and then exit. There are many approaches to this, one is to use a Mutex and the other is to use the System.Diagnostics.Process class to check if the process is already running.

Probably the easiest way to do this would be to install the printer driver on his machine (while making sure that he is logged in to the office, so the printer is visible), then sending the file as raw data to the printer. Microsoft has a web page dedicated to doing this, but it is in C# http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322091[^]

I've noticed one problem with the code snippet. System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("cultureCode"); Looks like it should be System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(cultureCode); Also the way I've handled globalisation is by using resource files and letting the system's culture determine which resource file to use. You might want to Read these MSDN articles "You get that on the big jobs."

Nope, you've already done it all. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak

Check out ObjectListView. It takes some time to get used to, but overall it's much more powerful than a standard ListView. http://objectlistview.sourceforge.net/cs/index.html[^] -Greg

See my answer (Solution 2) to this question How to open only one instance of class not more[^]. It's exactly what you're looking for. Cheers!

That's interesting. As I experiment with different UI actions, I am starting to get the impression that it is not just any app modal dialog that causes the issue; rather, I think the dialog has to be an Office app modal dialog. In fact, the problem may not be the dialog per se, but may tie back to OLE, embedded documents, and such. The infrastructure that those features rely on is pretty antiquated and was developed during a time when all sorts of app-level scenarios were capable to locking up the whole Windows GUI (i.e. the time of "cooperative multitasking".) Relatedly, this may not be a Windows 7 issue so much as it is an issue that arises when doing advanced, cross-product things in Office.
