Hy everyone, just wanted to share a thought regarding UI.
If you really think about it, events such as "Click", "DoubleClic k",
"KeyDown", "KeyUp", etc... (which clutter every winforms control we see) are
mostly annoying and sometimes even harmful.
How does knowing a control was clicked by the mouse (and how many times it
was clicked) help a client object know what the user intended to do by that
action?
How many times have you found yourselves handling mouse and keyboard events
the same way to cover up this design flaw?
How am I supposed to be content with an application which uses the
"DoubleClic k" event in a million different places, when the next version of
Windows might set a new - "TripleClic k" event - which will become standard
for activating items...
As a replacement I suggest the Winforms (and Webforms) team start coming up
with better designed controls which provide their client objects with a more
meaningful interface. For Example, a button with an "Activate" or "Execute"
or "Operate" event seems much more reasonable to me.
And while I'm on the subject of Winforms controls, I really don't see the
point in exposing so many attributes of controls, while not giving developers
any tools to centrelize control styles (I'm thinking... CSS) on an
application level. I found the ComponentResour ceManager (which I guess was
intended mainly for internationaliz ation) and I'm using that for now. But
still, there is a lot to be done here - and I, for one, think it's a lot more
important than new or better-styled controls.
Anyone with me on these subjects?

I have a program that mixes wizard like behavior with random access to the
various dialogs in the wizard. I do this by having each step map to a
toolstripmenuitem. Users can randomly choose the menu item and get the
corresponding dialog. Alternatively at the completion of each dialog, I can
"click" on the menu item and cause the appropriate dialog to come up. It
works rather well but the way I've done it is a horrible kludge. I even left...

Hi all,
I have a page with many different elements: <a href="...."> ... </a>,

Can I use javascript to prevent the user from interacting with the

event on the page?
Unfortunately, if the user clicks on a page element, the event bubbles

I want to handle click (and other) events, however I can not do it until I
do not assign event handler for each control inside me user contol. Is there
way to do this "smart" just inherit all possible events from usercontrol

OK, I have a question. I have a problem. I'm trying to catch all KeyDown events on a button, but the problem is when I press the "Enter" key, the button's "Click" event is triggered, not the "KeyDown" event. Or if it is, it isn't being caught by the handler.
Is there a way to disable the button being clicked by pushing Enter?

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