I have a user control in the form. I have written some code in menu click event in the form class. When I click a button in the user control, the same thing should happen as I clicked a menu item. How can I make this event to happen from the user control class, like "SendMessage" is used in VC++...

Hi ALL, In DataGridView -> Columns -> Column Type, we can have any one of the following: Button, Text box, Link, Combo box, check box, image. But I need to have a list box for one column.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Sarvan AL

Hi Everybody, I have a multi-column listbox. I need to change the width of the listbox, based on the string length. I've written the code in a function 'ResetLBWidth'.

Thanks in advance, Sarvan AL

In this regard, I have the following specific queries: 1) Will I get the similar look-and-feel (atleast to the nearest) in my Eclipse plugin? 2) Is there a Java counterpart to most of the .Net components (Properties editor, Grid view, etch.,) ? 3) Is there any tools available to convert a .Net application into a Java application?

Dear Jun, Thanks a lot for your detailed reply. Based on this, I'd like to conclude something. Kindly clarify, if anything is mis-interpreted. 1. Hope I can follow RUP as our development methodology undoubtedly. How it can be used for our product development? If we go for any certification (like CMMi) how will RUP help us to achieve this? 2. UML diagrams have to be included as part of the SRS, HLD, LLD, etc. How requirement traceability is achieved using Use-cases? 3. OOAD can be used even for Web based applications. But not commonly used. Kindly suggest me the following: 1. Forums on UML 2. Some sample case studies using UML for the better understanding Thanks once again, Sarvan AL

Hi Everybody, Hope I can post my Software Design & Development related questions here. If not, suggest me the right message board. I have the following questions. Since I'm new to sofwtare analysis and design methodologies, kindly bear my silly questions. 1. Where exactly I can discuss and participate more on Entire Sw. Dev. process? 2. What is the mostly used Software development methodology for a normal scale (neither too small/simple nor too big/complex) application? (Classical Waterfall model, OOAD, Agile programming, Extreme programming, etc,----Kindly bear if my camparison is wrong)? 3. Hope in OOAD there is no clear boundary between various phases like Waterfall model. So, how can we make UML diagrams fit into various phases? something like: Requirements Gathering_______diagram1, diagram2,... Analysis_____________________diagram1(refined), diagram3,... Design_______________________diagram1(refined), diagram2(refined), diagram3(refined), diagram4 Implemenation________________refer diagram1, 3, 4, diagram5 Testing______________________test module/entire system by referring diagram1/diagram3 4. In OOAD, are UML diagrams the ONLY documents? Or, they are part of normal documents, viz. SRS, High and Low Level Design document. Kindly clarify. 5. How can we make documents in OOAD with IEEE compliance according to the template? 6. Is OOAD applicable to Web Based applications? If so, to what extent? Kindly direct me in the right way. Thanks in advance, Sarvan AL

Hi Rage, Thank you for your detailed explanation. Sarvan AL

Hi All, When we include a class, the wizard creates two files (.h and .cpp) in the class's name. The .cpp file starts with like this:

#ifndef _FILE1_H
#define _FILE1_H
#include "File1.h"
#endif

Hope this is a way to avoid including the file (.h) more than once in the application. How this .cpp file is getting related with its corresponding .h file? Because, we include only .h file. Kindly let me know that how can compare this with "# pragma once" and more about "pragma". Thanks in advance, Sarvan AL
