I have come across something that I cannot seem to find a solution for and
would like to know if anyone else has either seen the same thing and/or (even
better) has a solution.
If I set the BorderSize for a flat-style button on a Windows form, the
border is correctly drawn in the designer but it is drawn as being one pixel
wider at runtime. For example, if I set the BorderSize equal to 1, in the
designer, the border will be drawn 1 pixel wide but at runtime it will be 2
pixels wide. The only setting that seems to work like it should is a setting
of 0.
Am I missing something? Any suggestions as to why it works this way and/or
any ideas of how to fix it?
Thank you,
Jason Richmeier

Hi Jason,
Thank you for posting.
The reason of the button's border size being drawn a little wider at
runtime is that the button gets focus. If the focus is moved to other
controls on the form, the border size of the button will be restored to 1
pixel.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Thank you for the response.
I understand what you are saying now. The reason I didn't notice the
behavior you describe before is the button was the only control on the form
that could receive focus. Once I threw a second button (which could receive
focus) on the form, the thick border went away as you described.
Something that I had tried was to derive a new class from the Button class
and override the ShowFocusCues property to always return false. This did not
appear to produce the behavior that I was looking for.
Since I could not figure out a solution to the problem, I ended up creating
a new (very specific) button class that was owner-drawn. Everything appears
to be working as I want with this button.
Thank you,
Jason Richmeier

This is an appeal for peer support sent to Microsoft as will be noted in

The Login control does not include a Cancel button.
The only option is to convert the Login control to a template which is not
such a bad thing in itself but it means all other controls in the
application must also be converted to templates to maintain a consistent UI.
So much for writing 70% less code when foolish morons release a control with
no cancel...

Can anybody tell me what it's used for?

A couple of easy questions here hopefully. I've been working on two
different database projects which make use of multiple
forms.
1. Where's the best/recommended placement for command buttons for things
like delete, save, edit, cancel buttons - in the footer, or on the form
detail section?
2. If in the footer, how do you add them to the tab order?

How can the browser back button be disabled If the form is submitting

I tried the tweaks like history.forward(1) in each page to prevent user

The server side scripting is done using ASP.

I want my buttons to look like and behave like the 'Tools' in, for example,
MSPaint. The border of the button is invisible, the image just 'hangs' in
the gray background. When the mouse pointer is moved over the button, the
border shows. Clicking the button first indents the picture and on releasing
the mouse button the selection is visible with a dark border and a lighter
shade of gray as background color.
How can I achieve this?

Hello,
If you could assist me with the following situation, I would be very
grateful.
I have a table of data retrieved from database displayed on screen.
To each row of data, I have added action buttons, such as "Edit",
"Add", and "Comment". Since I do not know how many rows of data will
be retrieved - and therefore how many buttons I need - I am using
button arrays for each button, like so:

Hi,
If I place a button on either a Web form or an HTML form, when I run the
page in a browser, the button stretches right across the screen. This happens
with our Enterprise Visual Studio at work & the Web developer Express edition
I have at home.
Has anybody experienced this problem?
Many thanks for any ideas on how to fix it.

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