Custom tab control focus rectangle

I am creating my own tab control in vb.net. I am inheriting
System.Windows. Forms.TabContro l. I want to provide a property that
disables or enables the focus rectangle being drawn on the tabs.
Setting the DrawMode to OwnerFixed and adding the drawing methods in
overrides OnDrawItem doesn't seem to do it. The focus rectangle is
drawn no matter what is drawn in the OnDrawItem event. How can I
prevent the focus rectangle from being drawn?

I dont know but I sure would love to see your finished product. The one with
VS2003 kind of sucks.

I have developed a custom control to be used in my application. My application includes a form designer, so the control can be hosted while designmode for the control is either true or false, depending on whether they are using the form designer, or in "run mode".

I am developing an application that is primarily keyboard not mouse driven. Navigation is very difficult within some controls (list boxes, radio groups etc) unless the focus rectangle is visible. When an application starts the focus rectangle for a control is never visible and only becomes visible once the TAB key is pressed. After that everything works OK. In a list box I have looked at the ChangeUICues event of the control and there is a...

In VB .Net I made a custom CheckBox column style (for the Datagrid control) that maps to two DataTable columns , one it uses for the Checked status and the other it uses for the Enabled status.

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
