How do I make a control top level?

Udi
Hi,
MDIChild pops up a listbox on a certain event.
The problem is that the location of the listbox can go out of the
MDIChild bounds.
When this happens, I see only a part of the listbox.

1. Is there a way of setting the listbox a top level control without
putting it on a form?
2. Just n case I do need to put it on a form, I would like to hide it
if the MDIChild loses focus. The problem now is that for some reason
'LostFocus' and 'Deactivate' are not fired!
(The same with MdiParent.LostF ocus and MdiParent.Deact ivate). So in
case I maximize a different application, the top level form is still
there! How do I hide it then?

Thanks,
Udi.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone in the group has had experience with this problem: I was looking through the list of ActiveX controls in Access 97 and found a Microsoft Tree Control which looks pretty cool. I could set up the properties with no problem, but my question is...how do you give it a control source? For the life of me, I can't seem to find out how to populate it.

Hello, Does anyone have an idea on how I can filter the data in the gridview control that was returned by an sql query? I have a gridview that works fine when I populate it with data. Now I want to look at that data and filter it based on what is in it. I know that this could have been done with data sets and data views in asp.net 1.1 but how is this done now in asp.net 2.0?

I am looking for a control that allows our users to expand and collapse rows in a report. Currently, the report is being shown in a web page generated from a CGI script. Unfortunately, the report is huge, and the user cannot expand and collapse the rows in the report. This means loading that large amount of data into the web browser takes a long time, and sometimes the report has so much data that it crashes the browser. Moreover, our...

I have a custom control that is embedded (using the object tag) in an html document. The control takes a path to a local client ini file. Reads the file. Executes the program specified in the ini on the client's PC. After the program has ended the control looks in a client side temp folder (specified by the ini file) for an image created by the executed program. If the image is there, then the control moves the file to a public folder...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
