How to use Component class in visual studio.
My goal is to achive load forms inside a panel or simmilar to usercontrols in asp.net in windows application
 
Hi.

"My goal is to achive load forms inside a panel..."
You can add forms to a panel like any other control.
The difference is that you must set to false a hidden (from intellisense) property: TopLevel.

"...or simmilar to usercontrols in asp.net in windows application"
You can create UserControls (for WindowsForms) for that.

Alex :p
 
I need to do something like the start button in that task bar. If you click on the button, a form should load just like the program menus.
please....
 
Think about it not as a form but as a usercontrol.
You must recreate the popup context menu behaviour.

Personally I have the DevExpress controls that have a popup control that's a container.
You just have to recreate that... it's not that hard...

Alex :p
 
XtraBars comes with all the XtraEditors package inclided plus some particular editors...
One of them its the "Popup Control Container" and "PopupMenu" witch delivers the abilities you want... It acts just like a popup menu, but the first one enables you to add controls just like an ordinary panel...

Still... you will purchase more than you really need... I think you could manage to build such control...
If you see any need in a very powerfull and integrated toolbar control... you should buy this...

Alex :p
 
As you said it is true, menus i can do it my self. but, axtually the vertical grid bar from devexpress is more powerfull in my case. cause I may need to do something like that down the lane.
but 499 is very expensive, i am pretty sure i need to put it from my pocket.
 
But $499 is the full Windows Forms package!
Its what I have but to do this current case you don't need all that!!

But shure it's a very good package... very good support also...

I'm experienced with their controls for some time now (almost 2 years), if you need anything you can ask me also...

Alex :p
 
Thank you very much... in advance.
I may buy by the end of november, but i have a question on licensing
1. if i install on one computer can i install on my laptop also or do i need to my multiple licenses.
2. did you have any problem while deploying on the client machine.
 
1. The licence is by developper so, if you're the same, you can install it where ever you want...

2. I make my installations with Installshield Express and it works just fine.
I believe there's no additional problems whatsoever with any other deployment tools... even copy/past works fine!

Alex :p
