In my searching I also found a PanelManager created by Mick Doherty: http://dotnetrix.co.uk/custom.htm[^] It works similarly, but provides easer navigation between panels.

Okay, never mind. NOW I know what the ExplicitCapture option does. :-)

I have just tested the MothCalendar control after seeing your question. I am able to change most of the properties (haven't checked them all) except for the Size, by normal means anyway, although BackColor and most others are OK. To overcome this size limitation I have found a work around: 1) Change the Font size. Not exactly precise but it works. MonthCalendars' size is controlled because it would look really silly with an enormous control and all the data squashed up in one corner. Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

There's an overloaded version of the .Show and .ShowDialog method that takes an Owner-handle. The OS will reset the focus to this "owner" if the window gets closed. Something like this; new MyForm.Show(this); If all is well, then you should be able to remove the ParentForm.Activate(), just closing the child should be enough. I are Troll :suss:

Hi, on CodeProject users are not expected to remove anything. The forums can and will be searched by many others, who will be happy to find what they need. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Prolific encyclopedia fixture proof-reader browser patron addict?

My suggestion would be to try and solve a problem you currently face by building an application that addresses the issue. This will force you to "eat your own dog food" and consequently be critical of your own work (a great learning experience). Further, chances are that if you're having this problem, others may well be in the same boat and would welcome trying out the utility you're building. This is a hugely humbling and rewarding experience, because it puts your efforts out in the real world and allows you to build a better application. I've followed this very approach in all my "hobby" (non-work efforts). The results have been very rewarding. /ravi My new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

I hate to tell you this, but you cannot do what you want to do with the standard controls in the ToolBox. Transparent is not really transparent. When you set the BackColor of a control to Transparent, you're really telling the control to take on the background properties of the controls parent container. You will NOT be able to see any controls sitting behind the DGV. You cannot achieve what you want without custom drawing the DGV. That's not something that I want to think about, let alone do. I think your best shot at success with this would be to implement this in a WPF app, not Windows Forms.

I've never seen that either. While I'm a big fan of ListBox, I'd go for a WebBrowser here; just create your own HTML document and show it in a WebBrowser; you can disable all user interactions through a number of boolean properties. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Getting an article published on CodeProject should be easier and faster for Bronze and Silver authors.

The date conversion is tied to the control because it has to know what calendar you are using in order to display the correct calendar for any date before 1753... Having said that, I don't see why the control's designers didn't just allow us to set a simple isJulian bool that would tell the control that the calendar is (or is not) using the Julian/Gregorian system. Then it could handle any date and it would leave it to the user to know when and when not to use the Julian calendar. If you ask me the designers at Microsoft just chose to take the easy (lazy) way out.

Thank you

Why not just use the Visual Studio designer? If you're using Windows Forms (I assume this is the case since you posted in this forum), then you'll show exactly what the interface will look like. If you need to send an image to someone or use it in a presentation, just take a screenshot of the interface.

it's a common occurrence for all the developers where I work I think it's TFS (and before that, VSS) integration that does it I've tried installing various hotfixes from ms, and they don't help
