| Ressource-Files for Windows Form (2 replies) |
| microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms |
| Hi! We are currently planning the development of a new software package using ..NET and Windows Forms. The ability to localize windows forms by simply switching the language property is great.

| Datagrid row selection in c# (2 replies) |
| microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms |
| Is there a way to always have a row selected in the datagrid, I've already have the code so that if a cell is clicked the whole row is selected.

My grid is read only. Thanks in advance |

| Lookup combobox in a data grid (4 replies) |
| microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms |
| One very common practice with a grid is to have 1 or more combobox lookup fields. In Microsoft Access, this is very simple. For example, Northwind's product table contains the supplierID as field. In Access, you would set the datasource property for the "lookup" field to "SELECT supplierID, name FROM supplier ORDER BY name"; bind the column to supplierID, set the column count to 2 with a display o... |

| Evil IntDestroyWindow(IntPtr hWnd) Exception (2 replies) |

According to a Google search, this same error was reported at http://www.dot-net-guru.com/247reference/msgs/11/55109.aspx but it does not look like any satisfactory explanation or work around was forthcoming then. So what is going on? Can anyone point me to a fix or workaround? As you can see from this code... |

| Is there any way to intercept the escape key being pressed in a form? The KeyPress event doesn't occur for the escape key. I need to be able to turn off validation from an escape key press. OnCancel does NOT get called until after validation is performed so I need to intercept the escape key press to turn off validation before it is performed. |
