I'm implementing a Windows application in C# .Net 2.0. On many
of the forms I need to have record navigation capabilities
(forwards, backwards, first, last etc) which I chose a to do
with a toolbar containg 7 buttons or so.
1. Rather than recreating the same toolbar (navBar) in the dozen
or so locations I need it, is this a case where I could use
the UserControl?
2. Regardless, is it a simple matter to make the UserControl
accessible in the forms design mode?
Thanks,

In this case easier way is to subclass form with toolbar.
Suppose you create form with toolbar ToolForm. Derive your other forms from
it.
class MyNewForm : ToolForm {
....
}
You might need to add properties to ToolForm to get to events for toolbar
buttons, but it should not cause any difficulties.
UserControl itself is placeholder where you put additional controls. Then
you should put it on corresponding form. Slightly more and unnecessarily
complex for your case and with design hassles (positioning, attaching events
etc.).

Hi there,
I searched carefully through the web before finally deciding to post
this message, because I could not find a solution for my problem.
Hopefully someone will have a hint or explanation for me! I apologize
for the length of this posting, but I wanted to make sure that I get an

I create my own usercontrol which is , my purpose is set all textbox's font into the

Protected Overrides Sub InitLayout()
Me.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("SimSun", 8)

However, during design mode I want to set the font into larger size e.g font
size 9, I can run it sucessfully in the 1st time, if I amend the form during
design mode again, the font size changed back to '8'...

Hello All:
Do I have to use the LoadControl method of the Page to load a UserControl?
I have a class which contains three methods (one public and two private).
The class acts as a control server. It "serves" back the required control
(either WebControl or UserControl) based on the contents of an xml file. The
code in the webform places each control in a TableCell.
My problem is that the control server works as far as returning the...

Hi,
I have a user control that in turn creates a bunch of webcontrols
dynamically and handles the events these webcontrols raise. It used to work
fine on ASP .Net 1.1 but when compiled on 2.0 it does not. The problem is
that the webcontrols get created on the OnLoad event of the usercontrol and
the event handlers are assigned at the same time. I have to click twice on
the controls for the events to be raised, the first time nothing...

The ToolBar control allows you to add toolbar buttons. When you add a button,
the button is not only displayed in the toolbar, but also added as a
separator control in the form/usercontrol your toolbar exists in.

(e.g. Panel, Button). I would like these controls to be listed in the drop

thus all other controls on the parent form. (I want various controls

Hi,
I created a UserControl, and created its UI with the designer. Next,
I wanted to create a subclass of that UserControl, with a new UI. But
when I open it in the designer, I see the UI components from the
parent class. When I step through the code, it looks like the
InitializeComponents of my base UserControl is getting called, and
then the version in my subclass.
Is there any way to prevent this? Is there a better way to create

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:

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,...
