| text height problem (11 replies, VIP) |
| microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb |
| Hi, I have a multi line textbox that accepts text input, I want it to adjust its height according to the text it holds, so I use a SendMessage API to get the line count of the text, then set the TextBox.Height to (linecount * font.Height), but there is something wrong with this calculation, the textbox is always larger than the text lines, any ideas? Thank you. |

This shouldn't be a problem, so far. Now, the second task is to automatically open a specific form in the database on its startup. How can this be done? (s... |

| Looking to get a copy of VS.Net Pro, but slightly confused about operating system requirements for installation. Some documentation suggests for example that I can't (maybe shouldn't) install on Win XP Home, which seems a little odd. Is this an IIS issue? Maybe I can install successfully on XP Home but can't do any database related development? Or is it a more total prohibition than that? My proje... |

This is documented in the DataGrid Overview. 3. No way to access the default grid table style to m... |

If you create a form in a subroutine and "show" it, once the subroutine finishes, technically the new form should be out of scope. I guess in a sence it is, because you can never "get ahold of it" again. However the form is still there. Maybe my question should be, is the following code bad style and could it... |
