I think this should be simple. You need to capture the KeyPreview on dgv, check if there is a cell selected, then if it is the last cell,last row and then add a new column. Then set the selection to the first cell of the new row.

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:

Thanks for the help. I had compiled all the solution for 32 bit. Now it is working great. Thanks, Sri

You'd have to get the information using the classes in the System.Printing[^] namespace. This is oknly available in .NET 3.0 and above. If you're using .NET 2.0 and below, you'd either have to use WMI and the System.Management namespace to do something like this, or implement printing directly to the printer without going through the print spooler. You can find an example of that here[[^](http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/35575dd8-7593-4fe6-9b57- 64ad6b5f7ae6/ "New Window")].

Its years since I used printdoc, so I can't remember all the commands, but there should be something to check the printer status I would expect.

Thanks Navneeth, Can you please expline how to do this. I am new to vb.net. Please.

Please don't post to multiple forums. This question has already been answered elsewhere.

Your custom MessageBox should inherit from System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox and will then have access to the standard properties and messages. This may help.

Your problem concerns how to send messages between networked computers. This has nothing to do with Windows Forms specifically. You may implement your solution within a Windows Forms application, but that is not the question you are asking.

i dont think so it will work in MDI i have same problem also if i put one control box or any other container control on MDI form then the child form goes back

Please provide some code for what exactly you are doing on load, Deactivate and LostFocus events.

Your key-combinations (where Alt and A are both pressed at the same time) work, even if a single keypress on the Alt prevents further input. A keypress on Alt should give you the option to browse the menu. Windows doesn't capture the key, but the focus. The second keystroke then determines what menu to open. That's two seperate keystrokes. Your key-combination is Alt-A, and the A is typed while the Alt-key is down. That gives different behaviour on Windows - it first checks if there's a shortcut-key defined (e.g., the letter right after the "&"-char in the caption of a button) These two behaviors shouldn't bite each other. If your end-user is like me, he'll be using the Alt-key often enough to navigate the menu :) I are Troll :)
