Enter Event on Windows Forms do not always fire...

Hello NG,

the hint on the property editor for the Form "Enter" event sais: Gets fired,
if this control gets the active control.

In my application I experience, that this is "mostly" true, but some times
not.
I have a MDI application, and I use the <Form>.BringToF ront() to activate a
hidden window. Usually I get the "Enter" event on doing this.
But I just had the case, that this event didn't get fired anymore. I
activated my Forms in the MDI several time, but no "Enter" event occured .
Stopping / Starting the Application brought the events back.

What is it I am doing wrong?
Are there "some" conditions by which "<Form>.BringTo Front()" do not fire the
"Enter" event?

Thanks for help and hints.

Regards
Rainer Queck

I can generate this error by NOT assigning a tableName to the view: at System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.AddNewRow() at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridAddNewRow.OnEdit() Is there any possibility of getting an event from the AddNewRow()? I would like to make some changes to the row prior to the user typing in the DataGrid. Thanks,

Ok, I'm a little rusty on this, it should be a simple problem but I can't figure it out. How can I handle form events in my main code page?? I'm creating a Windows App in C#. Rather than make my main form the startup object, I'd rather put my Main() function in a class or code file. Why? Because thats what I always do in standard C++ or VB. In my opinion, writing all my application logic in the form itself is sloppy and only for...

Is there any way to know whether the OnItemCheck is being called in response to a user action (mouse or keyboard) as opposed to the form loading? I have a class which derives from System.Windows.Forms.ListView. Among other features, it enables the checkboxes and overrides the OnItemCheck() method. I have placed this ListView on a form and use form.ShowDialog() to display it whenever the user presses a certain button. If the user...

Hello, I am trying to find a way to tell if an .NET windows forms Button (System.Windows.Forms.Button) is "depressed" (pushed down). For my application, I can not use a check box control set to button style, I must use a System.Windows.Forms.Button. I can not find a way to tell when it is momentaraly pressed. I tried calling the API SendMessage with the button handle and BM_GETSTATE to get the state of the button. This will only return...

I would like to do some client side stuff whenever my page is posting back. My page has a lot of different buttons and links that will cause a postback. I would rather not have to put something in each of their "onclick" functions. I would rather have a global OnPostback function or something like that. I tried using the form's onsubmit function, but it only gets called when my buttons are clicked; it doesn't get called when a link gets...

Hi All VS 2008 Pro It appears that the form_closing event of a form may not always fire. I put an explicit lock on a customer record when it is open for edit and then remove the lock in the form_closing event when the form is closed. This used to work fine in VB6 but appears to be a bit unreliable in VB.Net. code------------------------------------------------------------------

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