Annoying behavior of the Design Editor


Annoying behavior of the Design Editor SHB-MSDN NO[at]SPAM newsgroup.nospam
6/29/2006 12:00:00 AM
dotnet windows forms designtime: Hi,

does anybody has the same problem, that quite often when you try just to
select an object on a form, the Designer instead of just selecting the
object inserts an unwanted OnClick event handler e.g.

private void label1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

}and I defenetly didn't do a double click!



Also when selecting objects, sometimes they are moved unwanted.

Has anybody have a solution for this?



Best regards



Thomas

Hi Tomas,

Thank you for posting.

I think the problem may be related to the current VS environment settings
on your machine. You may have a try reseting all settings.

To do this, open VS IDE, select the Tools menu, import and export settings
and a Import and Export Settings Wizard appears. In the wizard, select the
radio button of Reset all settings and press the Next button. Then you may
follow the direction of the wizard to reset all settings.

Please try my suggestion and let me know the result.

I tried this, but it didn't change anything. Only if I click very very
carefully I can prevent this.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your response.

I think this problem may be related to the double-click speed setting of
your Mouse. It seems that the speed has been set too slow. You may have a
try setting it faster.

To set the double-click speed setting of your Mouse, go to the Start menu,
select Control Panel. In the Mouse Properties window, go to the
Double-click speed groupbox and set speed a little faster.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, it's still the same and I made my double click period extremely
short.

Hi Thomas,

You have mentioned in your first message that "Also when selecting objects,
sometimes they are moved unwanted."

It seems like you have turned on ClickLock feature of your Mouse. To check
this setting, open the Control Panel window and double click Mouse. In the
Mouse Properties window, you will see the ClickLock groupbox in the Buttons
tab. If the checkbox of Turn on ClickLock has been checked, this feature is
turned on.

If the checkbox is checked, please have a try not checking it. Press Ok
button in the properties window. Then you may check whether the problem
still exists in your VS designer.

Hope this helps.

Linda Liu

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your update.

If it is possible, would you please have a try changing a pointing device
of your computer to a Mouse? If the problem doesn't exist in VS designer
when you are using the Mouse, it seems that the problem isn't caused by VS.

If the problem isn't related to VS and you have installed logitech device
driver for the Trackball to obtain specific features, I think the problem
may be related to the device driver you have installed.

You may have a try unsintalling the logitech device driver and then check
whether the problem still exists. If the problem does not exist at this
time, it's obviously that it's the device driver that caused the problem.
If you need logitech device driver of the Trackball for specific features,
you should go to logitch website to download the latest device driver.

Please try my suggestions and let me know the result.

Have a nice day!

Linda Liu

Hi,

I now found the real reason. It's because of the automatic hiding of not
used toolbars. If I have the Properties dialog selected and try to select a
button on the Dialog in the designer it will display automatically the
allignment toolbar and move the whole designer a part down exept for the
button that was selected by the mouse.

Is there a possibility to prevent this?

Best

Thomas

toolbar and move the whole designer a part down exept for the button that
was selected by the mouse.

Could you tell me what you mean by 'I have the Properties dialog selected
and try to select a button on the Dialog in the designer'? Do you mean
'Properties window'?

I look forward to your reply.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Generally speaking, we mainly use Properties window to config a control at
design-time. To do this, we open a form in the designer and select a
control on the form. At this time, Properties window shows all the
properties of the selected control.

Even if we are entering some value in Properties window, the form designer
is visible and the Layout tool bar is visible too. Then if we select a
control, i.e. a button on the form in the designer, the Properties window
will lost focus.

Yep,

I meant that I enter some value in the property window and a button in the
designer while still the property window has the focus and therefore the
allignment toolbar is not visible.

Cheers

Thomas

Hi Linda,

at my desk, the behaviour is different from yours. The moment I click into
the property window the Allignment toolbar vanishes and if I click back on
the designer it appears again. Oh, I forgot to say, that I have the
allignement toolbar docked below the standard toolbar. I just found out, if
I let it float I don't have the problem anymore.

Hi Thomas,

You have mentioned the "allignment toolbar". Do you mean the "Layout
toolbar"?

On my pc, whether the Layout toolbar is docked or not, when I click the
Properites window, the Layout toolbar is visible. When I click back on the
form designer, the Layout toolbar is still visible.

If you think it is necessary, you could send me a screen shot for the
problem. To get my actual email address, remove the 'online' from my
displayed email address.

Hi Thomas,

Have you installed some 3rd party add-ins in the VS IDE? If yes, you may
have a try uninstalling them.
You could also have a try logging in the machine with a different user id
to see if the problem still exists.

If the problem still exists, and you want to go on the discussion, please
feel free to post here.
