How can I customize the system menu of a Windows Form?
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I want to add a "Dock" option here in the menu. I've seen a lot of posts on how to override those options but first, i have to add my new item there and after that, define the functionality for it.
You need to override the ContextMenu property of the control you want to add the option to.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa984254(v=vs.71).aspx is the MSDN article that explains how you can do this. it's doable both in the design mode and the code-behind.

ToggleButton in C# WinForms
(12 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm currently working on some software in Windows Forms and I was wondering if there's any way to have the buttons stay in their "clicked" state? I want to use them like radio buttons so one would be "clicked" and the other normal, and will switch when the other is selected.
I've looked in the Button properties but I couldn't find anything
You can make checkbox or radiobutton look like a Button
cb.Appearance = Appearance.Button;

I work on VS 2010 with C#. Even thought i set window state to maximum some panels of the form are not fit to screen when changing the resolution. How to solve this problem ?
This doesn't happen automatically. In order to get child controls to change their size with the parent form, you have to set some properties. Specifically, look at the Anchor and Dock properties.
Lots of questions about this already here. I can't do better than Simon's explanation.
As #Cody stated, Anchor and Dock can solve a lot of layout needs. For more complicated layouts, however, you may want to look at utilizing the TableLayoutPanel().

Can I display links in a ListView's detail mode?
(5 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
In my windows application, I have a listview, which contains two columns. One of the subitem in a row contains the data as below.
"Failed testcase path=C:\temp\test.jpg"
I need to provide hyperlink to only C:\temp\test.jpg. If I click on the same, it should open the corresponding image.
I tried by changing the property HotTracking to true.
listView1.HotTracking = true;
But it shows hyperlinks to all the rows in listview.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Use ObjectListView -- an open source wrapper around a standard ListView. It supports links directly:
This documents the simple process and how you can customize it.

You need to use the localization support provided by .NET and Visual Studio. See for example a walkthrough here: Localizing Windows Forms.

Setting the TabIndex property of many form controls in Visual Studio?
(4 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
If there is an existing tab order on a large set of controls on a form, what is the easiest way to insert a control in the middle of that tab order without having to re-number the tab order of all the controls after the one inserted?
Visual Studio has a tool for that. It allows you to click the taborder you want - by selecting the control in the order you want:
the blue boxes(with white numbers) are the current taborder, and white boxes are the new taborder.
This might be helpful to you.
(new TabOrderManager(this)).SetTabOrder(TabOrderManager.TabScheme.AcrossFirst);
