Painting Custom Form

Hi, I'm having a problem with some code we're writting.
Our customer doesn't like windows forms style painting, so their
designer has created a skin and we have added it. There are many ways
in doing this, so it hasn't been a great problem.
The problem is when those forms, which are ChildForms in an MDI, get
minimized. I have no idea in how repainting the minimized form. I've
tried many things, and cannot paint by myself the minimized form, it
always stands int the windows style painting.
Any idea??
Thanks in advance (sorry about my bad english...)

I am developing a winforms project in vb.net. I have several forms that have a number of controls, grids, etc. When I load these as MDI child forms, they load slowly AND they paint/repaint on the screen, and it makes a sloppy presentation. I am unhappy with it, and obviously the client says that it is unacceptable. How can I make a nice, crisp form/screen opening? Thanks so much for you help.

I have a hex editor-type class that extends UserControl and paints its data to a PictureBox. Basically the problem is that repainting it takes usually between 60 and 80ms, which may seem pretty fast but is not good enough when you have to repaint very frequently. For example, when you scroll the control or select blocks of text quickly. I have it paint its graphics to an offscreen Graphics instance, which I then transfer to the...

Hi I am developing a custom on screen keyboard. So far I have an array of buttons and then using SendKeys to send the text of the button to the active control to receive the text. The only problem is that the application is rather slow at painting the buttons. Ideally I wanted to allow the user to re-size the control and change the text and style of the buttons without such rendering issues. (I have a tool to re-size the buttons,...

When the application I'm working on is run it creates a panel with a Paint event customized to draw primitives (circles, rectangles, etc.), places the panel on a form, and then launches the form. The weird part is, the panel, in the instant it becomes visible, seems to have an image of what this panel had in it the LAST TIME THE APPLICATION WAS RUN! Since this panel is created anew every time the application is run ('natch), this seems...

Evening, I have a slight erk with the ComboBoxRenderer running under Vista and was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me.

I am trying to do some processing on a background thread while keeping the UI painting. However, this is a generic server side call routine - and it needs to block until the server side call completes. So the idea is, a server side call begins, it gets spun off on another thread to keep the UI painting - but, the code flow cannot return to the caller until the server side call completes, because the caller expects the data. The only way...

Hello guys. I was wondering if it is possible to perform custom painting in a GUI window using C++. In Java you can do this by using the following code:import javax.swing.SwingUtilities; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.Graphics; public class SwingPaintDemo2 {

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

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,...
