I have a windows form, many combo boxes, i create items and add to the items
collection in code. When viewing form, many combos have their text
selected, highlighted. Is there a preferred way to pre-select the first
item in a combo without highlighting text all the time? I am using
Combo.SelectedI ndex = 0; after populating the items collection.
Thanks in advance!

you can use DropDownStyle -> DropDownList
but if you need DropDownStyle -> DropDown use:
cboL.SelectionS tart
cboL.SelectionL ength

Hi
I'm trying to write a system in which you can highlight some text in a form
box, click a button (or press a key combination) and the text highlighted
gets surrounded by a given html tag.
The following works fine in IE on a PC:
txt = document.selection.createRange().text;

When this form opens, A, B, and C are all highlighted in their respective
controls. I have tried the following ways to unhighlight the text but
without success.

Hey,
Here is a quick question: I have two forms that I am using, and I need
to highlight the text in Form1 by clicking and dragging (obviously).
So, when I switch to Form2 (making it the focused form), I want to
still be able to see the highlighted text in Form1 even though the form
is not focused. When I click back to Form1, I see the highlighted text,
but if I focus Form2, I don't see the highlighted text. Is there a way
that I can...

I have a winform with a combobox. This combobox's text is set to a value from the database (in this case, a number). In my code I take the number and convert it to the proper text, returning the value as the selecteditem for the combobox. This part works.
However, if I try to UPDATE the value in the combobox at runtime, I am able to select the new value, but after that I cannot do anything. I am unable to select any other element on my form...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
