Hi Luca,

I knew about the e.Cancel in the OnFormClosing, that’s why I was expecting the same in OnDeActivate. I hadn’t thought about calling the Activate method in the OnDeActivate event.

However, when I did it, I got stacked in a stackoverflow. It looks like the activation in the deactivate event keeps firing in a loop. Unless I haven’t understood your comment above “In the activation/deactivation process Wisej checked whether the deactivated form has reactivated itself” and I should be doing something myself.

I have attached a simple project which shows the problem. Go to the second MDI tab: with the textbox empty, you can freely switch tabs. If you enter “1” in the textbox and try to switch, the operation is caught in the deactivate/activate chain and the stackoverflow occurs.

Hi Luca

How is work on the Binding Navigator Progressing?

Is it still on target for the release in November?

Many Thanks

Tried that in TextBox but not in ComboBox yet. Test it later.

Thanks.

One more thing, if you want to update the client with the selected range, make sure that the textbox or combo has the focus. Wisej will not send back the selection range unless the control is focused. The reason is that the browsers change the focus when the selection range is applied.

Yes, it’s the same. Same fix and workaround.

Hi Luca,

This bug also seems to apply in ComboBox when I was using a KeyUp event. If you don’t mind, maybe you can also check it.

Thanks.

Yes, thanks. Confirmed bug and fixed in the next update.

As a workaround, set the SelectionLength to 0 or higher before setting the SelectionStart.

Yes, in fact it’s being used for the tests.

You can already use it with the AspPanel if you create an aspx page.

Hi

Is there a custom combo box drop down option?

So you can create such things as a multicolumn combo box or a combo box with a drop down tree view both of which I use extensively?

With a multicolumn combo box you need a way of resizing the drop down height to reflect the number of searched for items together with a maximum height before the grid starts paging or scrolling if paging is not an option

Thanks Luca

Once the wrapper is complete would I be able to use it to wrap Report Viewer?

Thanks

Hi Luca,

Got it working using the ForeColor property and the built-in theme. There is no such property in WinForm and I was surprised.

Thanks.

Yeah, in the beginning I hadn’t put the AssemblyInfo and the Platform in the “client” project, I did it just for checking… The actual problem was of course that I had forgotten this …. small detail, to set the property to true… Duhh!

Thank you Luca!

Hi Alex,

Two issues:

1. Remove /Platform and WisejResources from the TestComboBox app. That’s needed only in the library project. Otherwise you are declaring the javascript class twice. The library project has all it needs to work.
2. You need to set the ShowLoader property to true, add  comboBoxEx2.ShowLoader = true; and it works.

Hi Luca,

I meant your attached, but for your convenience I have now included it. I have added a new TestComboBoxEx project with its own Window1, referencing your project. I have changed the AsseblyInfo.cs and created a Platform folder with the javascript in it. If I run it, the loader icon does not show up. If I change the startup project to your project, and its own Window1, it does.

Best,
Alex

Hi Luca,

I was actually looking for MultiSelect property and didn’t notice that MaxSelectionCount. Sorry.

Thanks for the info
