I don't use the Form Designer. Is there any way to disable it
completely? I find it annoying that every time I create a new form, or
double-click on an existing one, Visual Studio uses the Designer by
default. It would be nice if I could turn that off.

well you could just create a standard class
Public Class ClsMyCodeform
'but as soon as you place this line it is again a form
Inherits System.Windows. Forms.Form
End Class
so you could first create a class , write all your code and as soon as you
are ready to write the interface ( i guess you do that from code ?? ) put
the inherist statement on top to make it a form again

You design and position all your control manually? Even though the
form designer makes it very easy?

Right click on one of your forms and choose Open With. Then select the
code editor and click the set as default button.

Chris,
Thanks! I didn't know about the default Open With option. That's what I
was looking for.
And, yes, I position and size all my controls manually. I've seen too
many mistakes made by careless programmers using Designer. In my
opinion, doing it manually saves time in the long run.

I *might* agree with you in VS2003 if you had to create a complex form
layout but not in VS2005. The layout options have been enhanced and it
is very simple to align controls using the designer. And with the
TableLayoutPane l and the FlowLayoutPanel , there are even more options.
But to each his own. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
Is it possible to open always only one instance of a MDIChild form?
Say, if form A is already opened, just give it the focus.
I tried declaring theMDIChild forms as private members of the MDI form
(using the MDI menu's script), but when the MDIChild form is closed (x
button pushed), I cannot open again the MDIChild form.

There are references to using the wndproc form sub to trap and swallow the
mousewheeel events - but they don't get there when a combobox (or many other
controls) has the focus.. Yet the MSDN does suggest this is a way to stop
the mousewheel scrolling a combobox
anyone know the REAL answer???

I have a form that when opened in the designer appears of the screen. The

I suddenly started getting a lot of errors from html validation (some CSS)

If you'd rather not have these types of HTML validation errors show up in

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.

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,...
