Taskbar Button Flash and Highlighted State
Posted by msnews.microsoft.com at 4/1/2004 10:17:08 PM

Windows Forms and Data Access
Posted by Tim R at 4/1/2004 9:26:03 PM

Posted by DesignLink NO[at]SPAM earthlink.net at 4/1/2004 6:59:35 PM

New forms opening outside the screen!
Posted by Carl Mercier at 4/1/2004 6:08:08 PM
Hi, I have a rather simple problem, yet I can't find an acceptable solution. It isn't much of a problem for users running my application at high resolution (1280x1024 for example), but it really is for 800x600 users (too bad they still exist!) My application is a MDI and I use FormStar...more >>

My hope is that I can capture a WMI event that will tell me when the form is opened so that I can minimize the c...more >>

It doesn't seem like rocket science that I should be able to do something with a basic TextBox and NOT be able to do the same thing when I subclass it!!
