Further to previous post...
I have a big, complex program which works fine as long as I don't call
EnableVisualSty les.
If I do this:
Application.Ena bleVisualStyles ();
Application.DoE vents();
Application.Run (new FormOpeningMenu ());
then in one of my subordinate forms, which consits of buttons on other
things on a tab control, the non-focused buttons cease to work. Only the
focused on will actually call its OnClick procedure, although all of them
look, visually, as if they are being pressed.
My other forms are unafflicted.
On the afflicted form, the focus is being set programmaticall y by things
like button1.Select( ) or button1.Focus() (it doesn't matter which I use).
Does this ring any bells for anyone?
Many thanks! 3 1439
See bottom... I have a big, complex program which works fine as long as I don't call EnableVisualSty les.

Application.Ena bleVisualStyles (); Application.DoE vents(); Application.Run (new FormOpeningMenu ());
then in one of my subordinate forms, which consits of buttons on other things on a tab control, the non-focused buttons cease to work. Only the focused on will actually call its OnClick procedure, although all of them look, visually, as if they are being pressed.
Also, you cannot change the focus by hitting Tab.
My other forms are unafflicted.
On the afflicted form, the focus is being set programmaticall y by things like button1.Select( ) or button1.Focus() (it doesn't matter which I use).
In fact, if I do not set focus programmaticall y (with the Select() or
Focus() method) the problem goes away.
Yet I cannot reproduce the problem in a separate, simpler program. That
makes me wonder if there is something pathological about the form on which
it is happening.
Any ideas?
Many people had problems with EnableVisualSty les()
I know of two solutions - one is to enable visual styles by using manifest
file - see http://weblogs.asp.net/grobinson/arc...25/436464.aspx
another is to enable visual styles "in a custom manner" but I can't find it
now..
Let us know if the solution described in the blog post works for you.

Solved!
I was handling the Paint event of a form and setting focus to certain
buttons when it was painted.
With visual styles turned on, the Paint event arises a lot more often, and
in particular, it arises when the user is starting to press a button. (The
button border changes color.)
So I was stealing the focus away from the button that the user was pressing.
No longer doing that... and it works fine. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I have extended the datetimepicker control to incorporate

I have used the new keyword to implement my own version
of the value property, so that if readonly == true then
it will not set the value of the control and will leave
the checked status of the checkbox to false when a user
selects a new date.
this works fine when using the control on a win2k machine

I've noticed that calling DoEvents is much slower in an application that has called Application.EnableVisualStyles in Sub Main. Furthermore, the performance seems to worsen each time that DoEvents is called.
To demonstrate what I'm experiencing, create an app with a Sub Main, a Main Form, and a Button (called Button1). Include the following code in Sub Main:
Application.EnableVisualStyles

I added Application.EnableVisualStyles() as the first statement in Main() of
my program, and didn't notice much change in visual appearance, but what I
*did* notice is that some of my buttons stopped working! They were enabled
but no longer called their OnClick methods.
I tried adding Application.DoEvents() right after EnableVisualStyles and
that didn't help.
What gives? In VS 2005/.NET 2.0, is EnableVisualStyles broken? This is...

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:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

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,...

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
