Remove the title bar in Windows Forms
(7 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I am actually developing a UserControl that requires this kind of form.
Normally a WinForms Form looks like this:
If I set "FormBorderStyle = None", it looks like this:
But, I actually need a window without TitleBar like the following:
Please see the difference at the edge of the window. It actually looks more like a context menu.
myForm.Text="";
myForm.ControlBox= false;
This solution leaves the TitleBar so that the form remains movable. This is a problem.
I actually need this: the user click the button and the form appears like the following:
How to do this?
you can use:
yourForm.Text="";
yourForm.ControlBox= false;
and in properties, change : FormBorderStyle to :FixedDialog
To get like that then do not set any title text and make controlbox visible false
like this
yourForm.Text="";
yourForm.ControlBox= false;

Uwp navigation example and focusing on control

I have a Universal Windows Platform project that has a textBox element.
I'd like to set the focus to it when a Radio Button is clicked.
In the Radio Button click event, I can say:
txtBoxID.IsEnabled = true;
txtBoxID.Text = "";
But how do I set the focus? I saw some answers saying to use:
FocusManager.SetFocusedElement(
but my FocusManager class doesn't have that method.
edit: Solved, thanks. Just needed to know what argument to pass to SetFocus. The other fellow's question which was thought to be similar was regarding an event occurring after he set focus to his control.
All the code you need is:
txtBoxID.Focus(FocusState.Programmatic);
Method is defined in Control.

Is there a way to make it so that, when I click a button, instead of needing to bring up a new dialog for my next screen, it just 'replaces' what's on the screen? (For instance, the default screen is a main menu with some buttons, which lead to more in depth screens, like Parts Inventory, and all of it's options now being on the screen).
In the realm of stacking panels, how efficient is this for a larger system? I need at least 30-40 screens going on.
Edit: I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to do this project for school, and using Windows 7 with the default packages.
Instead of creating a new forms for each screen you can create a new user control for each screen. Then you could have one form with a panel and loading the control into the form instead of creating a new form showing it and hiding the old one. Youcould do something like this:
...
MyControlWasForm1 form1 = new MycontrolWasForm1(); // this is a user control
panel1.Controls.Clear();
panel1.Controls.Add(form1);
...
You could also keep references to the old control if you want to be able to go back then just reload it into the panel.Controls when needed. Keep in mind if you don't have a variable referencing the control outside of the method, then when you remove it from the controls it would get garbage collected.
...
//property on main Form
public MyControlWasForm1 Form1 { get; set; }
...
//in method
if(Form1 == null) Form1 = new MycontrolWasForm1(); // this is a user control
panel1.Controls.Clear();
panel1.Controls.Add(Form1);
...
You can use multiple panels stacked and show/hide them depending on what you want to display

How can I access one window's control (richtextbox) from another window in wpf?
(4 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
Alright, so I have a form with textboxes and a button (Form 1), and that button opens a new form (Form 2) consisting of a textbox.
What I want to do is get the contents of one of the textboxes of the first form (like TextboxForm1.Text) and use that text in the second form, like TextboxForm2.Text = {however to reference textbox 1 from form 1}.Text;.
Is there an obvious way that I overlooked?
Thanks.
Edit: Tried both solutions and the both worked well, but making it public was much easier in the case of multiple textboxes.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970905.aspx
<TextBox Name="TextboxForm1" x:FieldModifier="Public" />
Yes, you could use a property to expose the value of the desired textbox from the appropriate form. So, add something like the following to your window class:
public string TextBox1Text {
get { return TextBox1.Text; }
}
And then access it from the instance, as you seem to know, like this:
AnotherTextBox.Text = instance.TextBox1Text;
As for using the access modifier for the control as per nmclean's answer (i.e. FieldModifier="Public"), I would only say make the entire control public if it is needed.

center MessageBox in parent form
I am trying to make an C# application and I want to have my messageBox appear near the parent.
I tried:
MessageBox.Show(this,"this operation does not work");
And this doesn't work.
Assuming you're using Windows Forms, create a new class which extends System.Windows.Form to mimic MessageBox. Set the Location property based on your new classes Parent.Location property.

I'm almost certain this has been asked/answered over 9000 times, but the simplest way is to remove the window border in it's entirety.
