You could create a new process with the "mailto" command:
System.Diagnostics.Process myProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
myProcess.StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("mailto:admin@admin.com?subject=Subject text&body=Body text");
myProcess.Start();

What code are you using? I suspect that you didn't call the Close() method right after you created the file. We can't do much without seeing the actual code you use. But anyways, here's a sample code I use when creating/writing text files:
FileStream fs = null;
string tmpFile = "C:\\sample.txt";
// Create file and close it so that it can be re-opened for writing further on
fs = File.Create(tmpFile, 1024);
fs.Close();
// Prepare file for writing by assigning a new textWriter to it
TextWriter wr = new StreamWriter(tmpFile);
// Write stuff into the file
wr.WriteLine("Stuff 1"); wr.WriteLine("Stuff 2"); wr.WriteLine("Blah blah blah......");
// Eventually close the file
wr.Close();

Assuming you are trying to change the cursors from within the form that the textboxes are on, you can try something like this:
foreach (Control tmp in this.Controls)
if (tmp is TextBox)
tmp.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
Or like this:
foreach (Control tmp in this.Controls)
if (tmp.GetType().Name == "TextBox")
tmp.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;

You can do that quite easily by writing your code inside a try/catch block like below:
try
{
DateTime tmp = DateTime.Parse(this.textBox1.Text);
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
MessageBox.Show("This is not a valid date\n\nError Message: " + exc.Message);
return;
}
MessageBox.Show("Date is valid");

Can you rephrase the question please? Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?
I don't know whether these libraries[^] can help you, but take a look Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?

If I put a menu on my form and add and edit menu that has Cut, Copy, Paste, etc and the default shortcut keys Ctrl X, Ctrl C, etc then the textboxes no longer have that functionality
My guess would be that you are overriding the default textbox menu with your own, so in essence this is why you're disabling the default behavior. So if this is the case, I guess you would have to re-implement this kind of behaviour in your new menu. I don't know whether you can merge the default functionality with your own. But then again, why on earth would you want to do that?? Correct me if I am wrong, but it's like re-inventing the wheel... isn't it? Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?
Try hiding your "parent" form instead and re-show it when you're done with the "child" (frmGUI) one:
SecurityGUI.frmGUI frm = new frmGUI();
this.Hide();
frm.ShowDialog();
this.Show();
This will work fine since after closing the child form, the applications' control will return to the line that immediately follows the ShowDialog() method. Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?
Yes, take a look below at the following self-explanatory code chunk. First I add three items into the checkedListBox, and then I get the text of the selected ones by looping through each one of them:
string checkedItems = "";
// Add a few items into the checkedListBox control
this.checkedListBox1.Items.Add("Item 1", CheckState.Checked);
this.checkedListBox1.Items.Add("Item 2", CheckState.Indeterminate);
this.checkedListBox1.Items.Add("Item 3", CheckState.Unchecked);
// Retrieve the selected items in a string
for (int i = 0; i < this.checkedListBox1.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (this.checkedListBox1.GetItemChecked(i))
checkedItems += this.checkedListBox1.Items[i].ToString() + "\n";
}
MessageBox.Show(checkedItems);

Try putting your code into the form's Load() event instead. Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?
Try googling it[^]. You'll get loads of results Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?
Look for a Windows forms' control called CheckedListBox in your toolbox instead Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?
You could write something like this:
// Add "monitor1" on tab1
TabPage tab1 = new TabPage("Tab 1");
MonitorTabs.TabPages.Add(tab1);
MonitorTab monitor1 = new MonitorTab();
tab1.Controls.Add(monitor1);
// Add "monitor2" on tab2
TabPage tab2 = new TabPage("Tab 2");
MonitorTabs.TabPages.Add(tab2);
MonitorTab monitor2 = new MonitorTab();
tab2.Controls.Add(monitor2);
// And so on...
This way, you know that tab1 has monitor1 on it, and tab2 has monitor2. So if the selectedTab is tab1 then you access monitor1 by writing something like this.monitor1 Hope this makes sense. Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?
Hmm... if I get it right, I would keep track of each Monitor's instance name on each tab (e.g. I would add "Monitor1" on tab1, "Monitor2" on tab2 and so on. Then, in order to access them, I would locate them by their names). Regards, Polis Can you practice what you teach?
