VC# 2003 - listBox & messageBox woes

Jason L. Froebe

Visual C# 2003, with latest .NET 1.1 SDK patch.

I've created a simple test app containing a list box and a button. When
the button is clicked on, it adds three items to the listBox and
refreshes. I can see the refresh, but no text is viewable. Yes, the
text is black on white. I've highlighted an entry to show that the text
just isn't showing up.

Anyone have any idea? I've tried with and without the Refresh() - which
should be called automatically by EndUpdate() anyways.

This only occurs on some computers. I suspect it has something to do
with the .NET SDK 1.1 but am not sure. I also remember that a couple
years ago of running into this problem and that there was a
workaround/fix. Sadly to say, I didn't bookmark it and can't find it.

This issue occurs with messageBoxes and listBoxes.

private void button1_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
listBox1.Items. Clear();

listBox1.BeginU pdate();
listBox1.Items. Add("test1");
listBox1.Items. Add("test2");
listBox1.Items. Add("test3");
listBox1.EndUpd ate();
listBox1.Refres h();
}

Listbox update issue

by: heddy | last post by:

I have a listbox that gets populated in code by a reader result set from a stored proc on SQL Server 2005. In building this I created a set of test rows in the DB and the code runs fine and populates the box. Next I added functionality to add data. This adds data to the DB and then forces the listbox to refresh by clearing it's contents and then re-running the populate code. However, when I add an item and do the refresh, the listbox...

Refresh Listbox from Other Form

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: 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,...
