thanks. i knew about midi yoke, but yes, i want to code my own. i appreciate the time!

You'll need to install a windows keyboard hook since there would be no active window to process the keyboard notification messages. There's been several good articles about this here on CodeProject, including Using Hooks from C#[^]. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/hooks.asp[^] for more information. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

It doesn't really matter which group you're in, so long as you have the debugging privilege (and just because there is a group named 'Debug', it doesn't necessarily mean these privileges have been granted). The priviliges should be configured in the Security snap-in for the computer, DC, or domain. The admin should also make sure that the Local Security Policy for the computer has the privileges assigned. Since domain privileges take precedence over local ones, using the Local Security Policy shows you whether a user or group really will have those privileges. Second, don't forget to enable debugging in the Web.config file. Finally, make sure the debugging tools are actually installed on the server. If you install the .NET Framework SDK on the server, I believe this is enough. In the VS.NET setup, there are some additional tools you can install remotely, but I believe these are only for DCOM debugging. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

I guess I don't see what the problem is. .NET Magic doesn't care about where the content comes from. They are simply forms and can be in any assembly. When creating your docking manager and the content, instantiate the control from whatever library (either through Reflection or using assembly dependencies) and add it to the content. If you want to be able to refer to these controls directly instead of enumerating the content in a docking manager, then as you instantiate these various controls in any number of libraries, keep a collection (either local to the form that contains the docking manager, or some static collection that is globally accessible) or hashtable (same advice as for collections). We do something very similar in our application with no problem. It's no different than creating a basic form with a default Button or DataGrid (for example). They are defined in the System.Windows.Forms assembly and your form isn't. The same is true for almost any language runtime in existence, for that matter. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Is that code placed in frmMain_Load? .NET shows a form after calling the Load-event, so hiding a form on load is ignored.

You don't need 'ref', because a Form1 is already a reference type. The error occurs because you're trying to pass a reference to 'this', which cannot be changed. Personally I find reference languages confusing, because of the nature of aliasing and that there are no clues in the syntax indicating whether you're dealing with a value (which uses a shallow copy) or a reference (which merely copies the reference).

pretty much :) leppie::AllocCPArticle("Zee blog"); Seen on my Campus BBS: Linux is free...coz no-one wants to pay for it.

no i don't, do you norm

thank you! i thought i could just call it.

Override OnMouseDown etc. protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e) { base.OnMouseDown(e); //selecting row this.Select(this.CurrentRowIndex); //hilighting the cell DataGrid.HitTestInfo hi=this.HitTest(e.X,e.Y); if(e.Button==MouseButtons.Left && hi.Type==DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell && hi.Row>=0) { ... } } Hi, AW

i used MySqlDriverCS for few months on a windows form application. so far, it have no problem. you may try try... i never used another one mentioned. regards, jim

thanks for the help .. this has made me realize my problem is in the event handler and not specific to the registry. that is a great shortcut for just opening one key. i wasn't aware you could do it that way. i do appreciate the help, .. i'll start a new thread on the new subject.

Thank You very much. It works great! Would not have been able to do it without the consuming events link also =)

put a textbox inside. the rowheight property changes all the rows I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

It's clear. The error is only with computed fields, I send it some time ago to C#corner forum (it's now unusable). It's solved now. The reason is: 1. I created a table with about 400 fields dynamically. 2. I assigned Expression based on another fields to one of them: dtBufor.Columns["aggr"].Expression="..."; 3. I assigned null (or zer-length string) to this expression 4. After it getting from any table field was possible, but setting - sometimes impossible. Using dtBufor.Rows[rowno]["fieldname"] generated an immediate NullObjectReference error and dtBufor.Rows[rowno].ItemArray[fieldno] updated nothing without error 5. After setting Expression="0" it works (workaround). 6.

The reason why is you must first define it like so public class Form1 { private Form2 fm; public Form1() { fm = new Form2(); } public void Button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e ) { fm.Show(); } } thats all there is to it I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

Using MDI Forms is actually much better and easier. Nice features include menu merging :) The toolbar then belong to the parent. leppie::AllocCPArticle(Generic DFA State Machine for .NET);

but by his example setting the mappings still wont work I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.
