I beleive SysInternals may have something similar to what you are looking for w/source in C.

hello
how can i draw over the caption and border of a form?
i remember have seen such a thing with VC++ but can't recover it again.
I know that is looks like XP theme, but i just want to handle an annotation window (ala postit) with cool ui (consistant color)
I belueve there must exist a more lightweigth solution.
thanks

Yes you can by handling WM_NCPAINT, WM_NCCALCSIZE. I don't know any c# examples. But this is an example using C/C++
Look at Q99046

you can set the form border style to "none" and assign an background-image to your form - now you have a skinned application 
of course you need to think about implementing the minimize, maximize and close buttons yourself, but you can put usual controls everywhere you want on that form...
just an idea...

Hi all,
I am desperately seeking a multi-Column TreeView component in C#. I need to build one for work and I really have no experience with building GUI components. I have seen a few examples in MFC but none in C#. Pretty much, I am looking for a component that mates a TreeView with a ListView. Would you happen to know where I can find an example?
Thanks in advance

(also call TreeListView
you can
- wrap an ActiveX control like this in CP (search TreeListView)
- use a commercial one (search VsFlexGridPro)
- Also considers it's a really cool control but consist of a lot of effort (3000 lines at least, 6 month of work)

hi,
Can you tell me how can I hook mouse message from child control? Is possible that form does get WM_LBUTTON.... ?

You must override WndProc
- don't forget to call base.WndProc on need
- assign Msg.Result to control bubbling

I want to know if someone know how make something like the RectTracker in VC++ but in C#, if you want to know what is a RectTracker, it's the little rectangle that focus on a control and tell you that you can Move,Resize it.
anyone know how make this please 
Thanks

I belive there are some methods in the ControlPaint class for that... yep, here it is, ControlPaint.DrawGrabHandle(Graphics g, Rectangle r, bool primary, bool enabled);.

A few months ago, the Visual C# team created a community site at at http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/csharp. We have some interesting content, but new stuff doesn't show up very often.
I've therefore created a newsletter associated with the site. If you sign up for it, you'll find out:
* When new content is up on the GDN site
* When we have a new survey
* When somebody from the C# team is going to be at a conference, user group, or some other event
* Other stuff I think you'd be interested in.
You won't get:
* Marketing stuff
* Fluff
* Lots of email

Thanks Eric,
I just signed up and it looks to be very interesting. It's great being able to keep in contact with what's going on currently in the development arena.

In VB (I know you don't have to say it  ) there was a Flash/Shockwave plugin so that you were able to include a Flash .swf file within your application. I used to like to do this for my about boxes, and would like to do this inside a C# application but didn't know how to get the plugin, does anyone know anything about this?

I was wondering the same thing recently. I am keeping my eyes peeled. There is a bunch of Java based source for this floating around on the web, if you’re feeling ambitious…

Yeah, there's a flash plugin, deffinately. If you have the flash player installed on your system (if you can see flashes using IE you have it on your system) you can put one anywhere.
In the form design view go up to "Tools"->"Customize Toolbox" and then scroll down and check the "Shockwave Flash Object". And hit "Ok". Now in your toolbox to the left, you can select/use it by draging it in.
There is one major caveat, the Flash 6.0 (MX) plugin, doesn't work! It's a problem that Macromedia has been having, and it doesn't look like it will be resolved very soon (maybe within the next few months). So if you d/l the Flash 6.0 plugin, you won't be able to do a darned thing.
However, there is still hope, you can uninstall it, and then d/l the Flash 5.0 player from here: http://www.macromedia.com/go/14266
Flash/C# seems to be a very powerfull combination... I am working on this. Flash has an incredible ability to present UI in a clean and beautiful way. It is very possible for Flash and C# talk to eachother, with that there are endless possibilities...

This doesn’t sound like a very usable solution if you have to convince your clients to degrade a 3rd party (possibly non-related) component to a previous version just so you’re about box (or entire application) will display correctly. I would hope that Macromedia addresses the problem soon, or an alternative solution becomes available.
I did see the COM component you were talking about, but in my case, it refused to instantiate, period. I assume that is what you where referring to when you said “it doesn’t work”.
Regards

I agree, it's not a long term solution at all to degrade to 5.0, I meant it simply as a way to develop, getting arround the bug in 6.0, as Macromedia is aware of this problem.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree, I was not discounting your solution, just the consequences.
I actually have requested the SDK and SWF file format from Macromedia (there automatic registration for this is down at the moment) to see what it would take to develop a pure .NET solution. DirectX 9 (coming soon) is supposed to have full .NET support, it could be very interesting.
Cheers

Very interesting, please if you find anything share

Thanks for the note, however it is rather troublesome when a current version (Flash) is not supported. Will keep up to see how things go. Thanks.

How do I format time so that it will show in terms of HH:MM only ? I am using this:
this.statusBar1.Text = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString();
and the time is not in the right format. Thanks in advance.
Nick Parker

DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm") should do it. "hh:mm" for a 12 hour clock.
There is also DateTime.Now.ToString("t") and DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString(), the latter just turns around and executes the former. These last two are locale/culture aware.
Regards

Thanks Neil that worked great. Just a note to all that read this. When you use DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm"); your results will be in military time. However a simple change to DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm"); will return "regular" time. Thanks again Neil.
