I've just released an article on using Test Driven Development with C# and Windows Forms. GUI's are often difficult to test, so I thought it might be of interest.

A quick scan of the group did not immediately reveal an answer to my questions so here goes. First let me describe my app and then I'll ask the questions. I am writing a Windows Forms App (not Web Forms) that serves as a thin client to some web services. In other words, the Windows Forms app will be installed on the client machines and that app will call web services that are deployed on my server.

When I have a tooltip on a combo box, and the combo box is expanded (“dropped down”) using the arrow, it will no longer display it’s tooltip, no matter how long I hover. Even if I move off the control and back it will still not display its tooltip. If I then go to another control that has tootips, then back to the combobox, it will again display its tooltip, until the next time it is...

What's the best way to move between forms in a Windows app? I'm wanting to build an Outlook-style app. So I'm thinking of having a base form that all others inherit from (that includes menu bar, status bar, Outlook-style list bar). Then each form will pick those up but then be able to do its own thing. So do I open the new form and then close the current one? Would that look transparent to the user? If so, how would I code that?

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,...
