Adding FormatString property to a subclassed Label control

I wanted to created a formatted label control. I know I can add a
property to hold the FormatString, but I am not sure what method to
override to do the formatting. Any ideas?

Dear all, I would like to figure out a way to add controls to a form using specs stored in a table. Any assistance in fleshing this idea out would be greatly appreciated. I'm using VB6. Right now I am thinking I would loop through the specs table (containing control name, control type, width, max length, etc) and print lines of code to a text file. The code would look something like the following:

Can anyone give me a quick code snippet (that is standards-based) for adding OPTION tags to a SELECT dynamically.

I want to follow naming conventions for my controls - i usually prefix combo boxes with "cbo". When a form is in datasheet view however i do not want the user to see the 'cbo' prefix in front of the field name. Is there a way to retain this nomenclature and yet have the view display the field name (or anyname i want for that matter)? Thanks --

I have built a control that runs an on-line help system. Depending on the category you selected via dropdownlist, it goes out and gets the child subcategories, and if there are any, adds a new dropdownlist to the screen for selection. This continues until there are no children, and then it checks for a help article list based on that last selection and displays actual articles for display. Adding the controls and getting everything...

I want to display a number as 3 digits, i.e.: '3' would appear as '003' '45' would appear as '045' I just wondered whether you could do this with a format string: <asp:Label ID="lblIssueNumber" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("IssueNumber", "SOME FORMATSTRING") %>'></asp:Label> JJ

Hi All, I got a real doozy here. I have read hundreds upon hundreds of forum posts and found numerous others who have replicated this problem, but have yet to find a solution. Through testing I have been able to find the cause of the problem, and will describe it here first textually and then through a code example. The purpose of what I am trying to do is to create a postback-free web application through the use of ASP.net AJAX UpdatePanels...

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 Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
