If I create a button like control, then I simply can draw button-like
lines on my User Control's surface by getting its Graphics g. If I draw
outside of the control's ClientRectangle (for example, -10,-10,-5,-5),
it is simply cut out.
But what about if I'm trying to make a dropdown list control in .NET?
The dropped down part is outside of the control's ClientRectangle . How
can I do such thing? Maybe create a borderless window and display it?
But that seems to be very slow ( because creating a .NET Form is very
slow) and there's another problem of z-order.
Please advise me. Thank you.

Not a big authority on User Controls, but can you not just extend the
ClientRectangle to the size you require?
Not infront of VS at the moment so can't check.

Well, what if it should draw outside of even the form? As you see, real
dropdown list expands to the outside of the form which it is on.
Expanding the control's size will be OK if there is no other controls
on the form and the form is empty. But what about another control is
near and that control is added later than my control? Expanding my
control will make it draw itself under the control, I think.

Hi,
I have the need to use dynamically loaded user controls in a webform page.
I have the controls loading dynamically, and that part works fine. this is
the code used in a webform to dynamically load one of several controls:
private void btnCategory_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Control myControl = LoadControl(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text +
".ascx");
PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(myControl);

I've noticed that none of the child controls events are firing for the first time from the dynamic user control. Here is the event cycle.
1) MainPage_load
2) User control1_Load
user clicks a dropdown in UC1

I have a user control, dropdown.ascx
Inside dropdown.ascx, I have a dropdownlist control.
From my page.aspx, I need to be able to access the dropdown's value.
By setting it to auto-post back, I am able to grab this value using
Request.Form. This worked well until I realized that I
needed the initial value in some cases. How do I access this value from the
page.aspx file?

Hello All,
I have a user control which has an ASP.Net dropdown, gets filled up
from database, and is supposed to open a document when the selected
index is changed. The control itself is usually nested within a
container on the page.
IE7 treats the act of opening the document from the dropdown as the
popup and blocks it. I do the opening using javascript:

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.

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,...
