xmen,

You could try listening to the ContextMenuStrip.Opening event and then you'll find out if its actually being opened.

Hello,

I'm making a GUI for an image capture program. When the user captures an image a new form is created which displays the image. Once the user has captured several images they can then look through the image-forms and decide which to save. I have a main form which contains the main controls and a large panel which takes up about half it's area.
I would like:
1 the image-forms to appear within this panel and to be confined to its boundaries.
2 the image-forms to always be on top of the panel and hence always be visible.
3 the image-forms should not take control(focus) away from the main application window.

Is it possible to do this ?

Thanks

Hello,

Apart from that I don't see why you want to use Forms to show images (waste of performance):

If you want to add a Form in the Controls Container of a Panel, you have to set the TopLevel[^] property of the Form to "false".

Ylno wrote:

If you add it inside the panels container, it is automaticaly in front of the panel.

Maybe Enabled[^] does what you want.

But again, you should think of other solutions, like painting the images directely on the MainForm or the panel.
Therefor you need:
OnPaint
DrawImage[^]

All the best,

Martin

The scenario you're describing is MDI. In fact, it's EXACTLY what MDI was invented for. If you have a sub form, for example, that contains a PictureBox set to Dock = Fill, you can then set the MdiParent of each form to your main form before showing it.

Make sure to set the IsMdiContainer to true for the main form.

The MDI area of the main form will occupy whatever leftover space is left in the main form. That is, if you have controls that you dock right, top, left, etc., the MDI area will only take up the space that is left. This means you don't need to worry about where the MDI forms will show up.

Ok, I'm struggling trying to solve this problem.

I've got two forms, one is inside an MDI and the other isn't. I want to get the panel, and it's content into the form that isn't in the MDI.

How can I do this?

Re: A problem finding a panel

Gareth H16-Feb-08 4:02

hidden code at desgin time

16-Feb-08 4:02

DSdragondude,

When you create the form, store it somewhere. Then you can do:

Control[] controlArray = Controls.Find("nameOfPanel", true);
Panel formPanel = controlArray[0] as Panel;

Gareth.

I have to create a report.

The report will have the following format like
the shopkeeper creates the bill for the customer for purchasing three bags , 10 books.

Now both the items will be displayes as the header
and in the next line the first item will be displayed.

and under this item in the details section it will display the details of that item now example the first item is bag
Then in details section it will display three records for bag , each record will have the unique bar code.

Now in the second page the header will remain same and the item will come in the next heading
and under this heading the books detail will be enlisted.
wih serial number from 1 -10
each will have nuique bar code.

I know standard , coss tab and mail merge report but this time the situation is quiet different.
can somebody please explain how to start it?
