I do agree with you in every point. Luc Pattyn wrote: First of all, System.Environment.NewLine results in a string, but String.Split requires a char or char array. I shout test before I post!

It's not important in the application I'm working on, but it's good to inform about that it's possibility! Thanks All the best, Martin

Hi, the application that shows stuff on the screen is also responsible for formatting it while printing. It could use the same PaintEvent handler for doing so. Amongst others this means the application itself must do any word wrapping that is required. Printing may vary from simple to complex depending on functionality: - if the screen also shows pages (as in MS Word when viewing "Print layout", then nothing much has to change for printing (except some border settings, and scaling that is) - if the screen only shows continuous data (as in Word's "Normal view", or in a simple text editor) then new code is required to figure out page boundaries etc. - furthermore there are issues around printer selection, page settings (per document? per page?), duplex printing, etc. So my advice is to separate all these concerns as much as possible. For one this implies providing a "page mode" or "print layout" view capability to your app (at least during the development phase, but then why not keep it?), in order to separate the different problem domains. Good luck ! :) Luc Pattyn

Try using the PrintDocument class SkyWalker

Have you tried it? If it does, handle it in your double click event.

private void lvTasks_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e) { if (lvTasks.Items[e.Index].Checked == false && lvTasks.Items[e.Index].SubItems[6].Text == "0") { //sql.makeCompleted(user_num, lvTasks.Items[e.Index].SubItems[4].Text); taskList.Remove(lvTasks.Items[e.Index]); lvTasks.Items[e.Index].SubItems[6].Text = "1"; lvTasks.Items[e.Index].SubItems.Add(DateTime.Today.Date.ToShortDateString()); completedTasks.Add(lvTasks.Items[e.Index]); lvTasks.Items.RemoveAt(e.Index); } else if (lvTasks.Items[e.Index].Checked == true && lvTasks.Items[e.Index].SubItems[6].Text == "1") { completedTasks.Remove(lvTasks.Items[e.Index]); lvTasks.Items[e.Index].SubItems[6].Text = "0"; lvTasks.Items[e.Index].SubItems[7].Text = ""; taskList.Add(lvTasks.Items[e.Index]); lvTasks.Items.RemoveAt(e.Index); }

That was left as an exercise to the reader ;P Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

Thanks for your help too :-D

I found an article and designed a new user control based on that. :-)

Either call the ExpandAll() method after adding new nodes or call the added node's Expand() method or even subclass the TreeView and override the Adding functionality so that it expands the added nodes automatically.

Hi Numbers1thru9, Christian has given you the one of the reasons why you face the error in the first place. In the event you want to have a look at some simple code; I had published an aritcle titled "AlarmTimer" located at http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/abyalarmtimer.asp[^] Just some basic stuff when I intiialy started fooling around. Hope it helps you out... Thanks and Regards, Aby

The text must be centered if the box grows to fit the text :) You can use \n if you want CR's and manually "box" lengthy text that way. Glen Harvy

Hello Mav is right. Yet!! As my habit of making crazy suggestion;P, you can make a timer that checks the destination file's size each -let's say- 50 milliseconds, and updates the ProgressBar according to the percent of the current size/Total size. Regards:rose:

This sounds like a good option, except the progress bar I am using is in the status strip instead of a dialog box
