I've been fiddling with a property of a control in Windows Forms, and suddenly, I don't know how, I clicked something in the Properties Panel, and all the text in the panel got aligned to the right. I have a picture here to show you. I am stuck with this panel, and it is really annoying. Could you please help me? Thank you so much!
It looks like you have Right-to-Left reading order enabled. To fix it, find a text box in the properties window that you can enter free text (like where you would enter the ID/Name for a control). Right click in the text box, and uncheck "Right to left Reading order":
Remember the good old key stroke: "CTRL + Z" It will take you right back!

Right Click on the text Property textbox there is a option to change it !

I'm creating my first windows forms app.
I've added a text box to the form and forced it to have a vertical scroll bar,
but it looks like there is a space between the text box and the scroll bar,
which of course does not look good:
AS you can see here

I've searched online and tried to "play" with the margins around the text box but i couldn't solve it
thank you.
I would try to resize the textbox (not in height but in length/width just to check if it changes anything). I had the same Issue once and could fix it with that.

I have been having a look at the net trying to find an answer but came up unlucky.
I am trying to make a Dropdown search Bar for my application but would like to to be just plain. I can't seem to find a way to remove all the background just leaving the text box by itself.
This is an example of what I have --
This is an example of what I want--
I just want to know if the is a way to remove the bits to the left and right.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can achieve this by setting the BackColor Property of your ToolStripMenuItem. In your case, change it to White.
Is it possible to create a button with WinForms which has the text "Details" and then a down arrow next to it.
It is not vital to my program but I personally think it looks nicer for the user, especially in dialog boxes which expand to show more error details.
The below code will give your Button the word "Details" with an arrow pointing downwards next to it.
Button1.Text = "Details " + char.ConvertFromUtf32(8595);
It sounds like you are asking about the contents of the button itself and want to handle the expand/collaspe functionality yourself. You could create a png with the "down arrow" image, and then position the icon right-middle using the image property of button in the designer.
this is my first post so i hope i'm being clear. Basically i'm having a problem in IE where the Alt tag text will only display on the first hover. In other words, if i hover over the image i get a nice tool tip displaying the information i need, after around 10 seconds this disappears. Which is fine, but then when i go to hover back over the image...no alt text is displayed.
this is dynamically drawn in the backend (c#)
s += "<img src=\"../../images/littleinfo.gif\" alt=\"" + Line.Description + "\" class=\"blackparagraphlink\"/>";
Whats even more strange is that this is only happening with certain users (all of our clients use IE) and appears on both IE7 and 8 (but only randomly, it isn't a problem on the machine i use...but is a problem on a machine that is at the other end of the office...both using IE8). I've checked compatibility settings, and they are turned off (i have tried turning these on...but the problem still remains).
the CSS class that the image links to doesn't seem to effect this issue either. Has anyone else come across this strange problem? I've searched high and low on the web, and this is my final attempt at solving the issue.
any help is much appreciated.

Alt attributes are not supposed to hover in the first place. They are only used if the image didn't load.
Use the title attribute instead which is designed specifically for this. Just change alt to title in your code. Then add a real alt attribute describing what the image looks like. (Whatever littleinfo.gif is.)
PS. png's are much smaller than gifs. Use png unless you need animation.
this link explains the alt attribute, you should use the title attribute if you want to display a tooltip.
Internet Explorer also displays the value of the alt attribute as a tooltip when mousing over the image. This is NOT the correct behavior, according to the HTML specification.
ie display alt on hover and title if they are no alt
firefox display only title on hover and not alt.
In Visual Studio (2008) when you place a textbox on a Windows Form, and drag it around, you see very helpful guidelines which help you align it (left, right, top or bottom) to other controls. You also see a line the represents the bottom of the text in that control helping you align the text within your textbox, to the text within a label, regardless of the height of that label.
I have user control that contains a textbox and a couple of buttons. Can I force the VS2008 designer to show me the same line for the bottom of the text, from the textbox within my user control? If so, how?
