The ControlPaint class looks like the ideal way to draw grab handles, a
grid, and other designer-like stuff in a windows form, but I can't make it
work.
I realise I need to use SetStyle to set the UserPaint bit, but the method is
protected on a textbox, for example, so I can't call it.
If I call it for the form, and use DrawGrid, I get nothing. For example, in
the form Load event
<code>
Me.SetStyle(Con trolStyles.User Paint, True)
Me.UpdateStyles ()
ControlPaint.Dr awGrid(Drawing. Graphics.FromHw nd(Me.Handle), New
Rectangle(Me.Lo cation, Me.Size), New Size(10, 10), Color.AliceBlue )
</code>
The MSDN implies that this is all I need do, but it doesn't work.
Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong?
TIA
Charles

Hi,
I have an inherited DataGrid, that does lots of extra stuff. For exemple
drawing a backgroundimage in every cell. The problem is that it's taking too
much time (using gdi+), so I want to do it using DirectX. I downloaded
already the DSK etc, but I can't find how I need to draw an image on a given
position. I don't need stuff to write advanced 3D-games, just painting that
image. Can anybody help me with this? I'm already looking for...

Hello...
I've some annoying problem when I use DrawGrid method.
It seems that it ignores nOffsetX and nOffsetY (refer to example code).
Bounding rectangle can be moved, but points of grid are being drawn
always in the same positions of screen.
Do you have some idea how to fix it? I want to see dots exactly drawn
from specified point.

Hello All,
I'm trying to solve a nagging problem. The goal is to draw a rectangle over

other controls. I have pasted in the code i am using ....

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,...
