I need a button that when the user runs the mouse over the button (not click) the color of the button's border changes (showing the user that the mouse is in the button's active area). I cannot find anyway to change the color so any hints would be very helpful.

Thanks!

i think you must log the downtime call to your database and when the call is closed. then get the difference of the two.

yep, thats pretty straight klaydze; maybe i did not point out clear that i need to EXCLUDE weekends and non-working-times(i.e. time b4 8am and time after 5pm).

e.g. if a call is logged on Friday 8am and closed the following Monday 17pm, for a business thats runs 9 hours a day; the downtime should be 18hrs NOT all inclusive hours from Friday 8am to Monday 5pm.

thanks,

I have build an application where I create an extension "alm". Now I want to register this extension so that on double click of any file with "alm" Extension should run my application.

The easiest way is interactively:
double-click a file with that extension in Windows Explorer
when it shows its dialog telling "Windows can not open..." choose "select from list",
then "Browse", browse to your exe file, check the checkbox "Always use..." and
click "OK". This will create a permanent link and register it.

You can do that programmatically also, I don't know the details be heart.

I'm assuming the files are pictures (jpg,jpeg,gif,tiff,...)

than you can just go to the directory and for every picture you find in it you create a picturebox with the imagepath to that directory/picturename

Handle the Form's Closed or Closing event based on what you want to do. In VS .net 2005, they have been renamed to FormClosed and FormClosing

The formClosing event fires whenever the form starts to close, including when the X button is clicked.
You can then to things like ask the user if they are sure they wish to exit the form and stop the form from closing in needs be.

for example :-

Private Sub myForm_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing<br />
        <br />
Select Case MessageBox.Show("Do you wish to exit?",   "My Form", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2)<br />
                    Case Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes<br />
                            e.Cancel = False<br />
                    Case Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No<br />
                        e.Cancel = True<br />
                End Select<br />
    End Sub

first of all:

eyes2007 wrote:

will not work

sender is of the type Form

second: I'm not really shure what will happen if you just change the parent of a control
my sugestion would be that you call a function on form1 wich dynamicly recreates the tools1 that way you'r form2 can shut down whitout any problems (but like I said don't know if it is needed)

perhaps something like this would be better:

form1.controls.add(tools1.clone) (don't know if possible didn't test it)

its not doing the work needed

the only option is that

i creat a button that exactly lools like the close botton on form place exactly on that close button and write the click event of that one

but i don't like to use this

what exactly do you want to do??

if you want to catch the 'X'button click event you need to use the formclosing/formclosed event of the form (best to use the formclosing that way everything is still on the form)

hi assaf,
i think DataReader is a forward only stream, you should use a DataApdater and
a DataSet for you to be able to display the data in the DataGridView
