Hi, I can't really use that because I want to also know which inactive forms are on top, and which ones are on the bottom. For instance I can have 8 child forms open in a 2x2 layout with 4 on top and 4 below. I want to know which 4 are on top. Of course, only one of them is active and has focus. But I want to get a list of all 4. Thanks, R

Hi, I have some MDI children forms that are laid out (sometimes one on top of the other). At a given time, I need to find out which forms are on top and which forms are hidden behind the forms on top. I Iwas wondering if there's some way to do this. I could not find anything online. Thank you, Ramanan

Thanks Christian, I also found a sample for this same method in Chris Sell's new Windows Forms book in an Appendix last evening.

Hello, I implemented drag and drop for some of my controls. I did it by having my controls implement IDataObject then using the usual mouse(up,down, move, etc) and drag(drop, leave, etc) events, in other controls/forms to accept the drop. While the control is being dragged its shown along with the mouse as a small square border with a small + sign next to it (I guess this is default). It looks like the small box is the representation of the control being dragged. I would like to show sometime else as the control is being dragged. I've been looking on MSDN and online and didn't find anything yet (they only talked about how to replace the mouse cursor for the drag operation). I really would like to avoid creating a form and moving that around with the mouse. Is there some handle to replace the default "object being dragged" state/box with something of my own choice. Thanks, Ramanan

Form.BringToFront() ?

Hello, I have a project in Visual Studio that references some external "Debug" dll's. It works fine in "Debug" mode. I want to rebuild this project in "Release" mode. Visual Studio complains that it cannot find the "Release" version of those external dlls. When I try to add the "Release" version of that external dll it complains that a reference to this dll (Debug version) already exists in this project. Replacing the the "Debug" version of the external dll with its "Release" version lets me rebuild my project in "Release" mode. I was wondering if there was a way around this, instead of switching the versions of the external dll's I use (between "Debug" and "Release") everytime I want to do a "Debug" or "Release" version of my project. I've never seen this before, it usually just finds the right dll by default. It suprised me. Thanks and Regards, Ramanan

I think I get it now, the mirror reflects things that are put 'into it', 'out of it' "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

an appearent 180 degree rotation about YOUR axis of symmetry

Your axis of symmetry is because your eyes are placed left to right isn't it ? If your eyes were placed top to bottom and that's how your brain processed images then your axis of symmetry would be vertical and everything would appear rotated about a vertical axis for you. That's what I meant.

If you turned your head 90 degrees and your eyes were also flipped vertically then it would be inverted top to bottom, yes. I read this in that puzzle book "How to move Mt Fuji", its probably lying around somewhere, I can tell you in more detail if I find it.

Its because your eyes are placed horizontally, if your eyes were placed vertically when you stand in front of a mirror you should see everything inverted top to bottom.

If Japan is not a developed country then there's no such thing as a developed country. I think the distinction is made by the WTO and other organizations. Includes such things as GNP, the value of a nation's currency and other things.

I'm trying to run an example that I found in a book that is for VS 2005. They use "using System.Collections.Generic" (which is not there in VS 2003) and also they use IEnumerable to provide foreach support to a class like this: public class ClassName : IEnumerable and then public IEnumerator GetEnumerator() { foeach(){ } } I'm not able to tack on the to either IEnumerable or IEnumerator in VS 2003 (to show that I'm returning a string from the foreach function) and I'm wondering if I'm missing including something or if this just cannot be done in 2003.

I tried replacing the toolbar in my application with a 24 bit color toolbar bitmap. Since I edited the original toolbar bitmap image the buttons are all in the right place, however, saving the image as a 24 bit bitmap makes it look (in the application) hideous. Is there any way to simply increase the resolution of the toolbar bitmap as it is rendered in the application ? (from 4 bit to 8 bit color ?)

Yikes. And I was thinking of switching this week from Verizon to TMobile so I could get a new phone with a one year contract. I'll rethink that.
