Hi,

Is there any install instruction somewhere? I use vs.net 2003 and using the
developer version...

I want my vs.net to support the new improvments.

Geoff,

just to be shure: SP1 is included in SP2, right? My customers only have
to install SP2?
Thanks,

Hi Chris,

The PB QFE's typically run a few week behind the web redistribution
releases. We will post a message here when they release.

- Added support for ForeColor &/or BackColor for Button, Checkbox,
ComboBox, DomainUpDown, Label, Listbox, ListView, NumericUpDown,
RadioButton, Trackbar, TreeView

I can't set the background of a TreeView to a custom RGB color. Has anyone
else been able to do this?

The TreeView Background and a ListView Bug seems to be the main Problems
with SP2.
Allthough I have reported the ListView problem 2 times I have recieved no
reply up to now.
Here the reported Bug (19.01.2004) :

There is a bug in the ListView which has not been resolved.
Setting the Background Color of a TreeView does not work (but that is
cosmetic).
There was no reply to my messages from the 11.01.2004:

This was reported in December, but I don't remember seeing a posive
Solution.

Having installed SP2 I have recieved the following Results :

Project 1 :

All Colums of a Table should be shown in the ListView with a Standard Width
of -2.
This worked on PC and Compact SP1
Results : First Colum is shown in the Full Screen Width, the rest accourding
to the -2 setting.

Changed the logic to :
- Set the first Column to 0 and the rest to -2
Results : First Column is hidden, Second Column is shown in the Full Screen
Width, the rest accourding to the -2 setting

Project 2:

First Colums is set to 0, the next 3 Columns are 1/3 of Screen Width, rest
are set to -2
Results: Correct as done on PC and Compact SP1

This seems to be a nasty Bug in SP2.

The setting of the Backgound Color works correctly (which is very nice).

Hello Mark,

First of all, I want to apologize that it took so long for me to respond.

1. Unfortunately, the TreeView.BackColor property is not supported on
PocketPC and Smartphone due to restrictions of the underlying OS but it
works as expected on Windows CE 4.1 and Windows CE 4.2.

2. Please could you send me a sample application that shows the problems
with ListView that you described because I was not able to reproduce them?
Everything worked fine for me on SP2. Please note, that there is a known
problem with ListView when columns are not resized properly if width of a
column is set to -1 before adding listview items but I don't think that it
would affect your scenario.


Best regards,
Sergiy.

Thank you for your reply.

You can download the source code that shows this problem :

http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/NetDbExplorer.asp

The Zip file has 2 Projects, one for PC and one for Compact.

The .exe file inside the Compact Project was compiled on SP1.
On Compact you must open a .sdf somewhere in "My Documents" or on the
Storage Card to see the ListView results.
(On PC: Access, Excel dBase or Txt with ";" delimited and first row with
Fieldnames).
The .cs code in the Directory \DataBase are the same in both Projects.
The Building of the ListView is in DataBaseExplorer.cs OnFillListView.
This method is call with Parameter to :
Show all Columns (i_Hide=0) and all Columns (i_Col=0) should be sized to
Columname Width (i.e : -2).
The PC Version and this exe on Compact run BEFORE SP2 was installed on the
Mashine did this properly.
Now the same .Exe (compiled on SP1) will show the first Column at full
Screen width when run on a Mashine where SP2 has run before.
When compiled with SP2 : same results.
Another Application (which calls the same Methode) is called with
i_Hide=1,i_Col=3 (Hide first Column, next 3 at 1/3 of Screen Width)
works correctly when running on SP2.
If I remember correctly I tried i_Hide=1,i_Col=0 (Hide first Column, rest
sized to Columname Width ) showed the FIRST Column at full Screen Width with
the rest properly sized.

This looks to me as if the problem turns up at the FIRST use of -2 in the
ListView.

Since the same code runs properly on the PC and on a Mashine with SP1 it
looks like a specfic SP2 problem.

Under SP1 you could set the Background of the TreeView/ListView without
recieving a compiler error but it was ignored.
The same SP1 exe when run under SP2 however does set the Background on the
ListView but not on the TreeView.

The setting of the Background is cosmetic, the problem with the -2 on the
ListView is not.

I would be very gratefull if this problem can be resolved without any
Compact specifc code writing.

If you have problems downloading the source (you must register there to
download) I will send you the zip (1074 KB).

Thank you for your efforts.

I also noticed that the changing of the Background color for labels work,
but only when it is not transparent.
//---------------------------------------------------------
//-- Transparent will compile under Compact, -----------
//-- but shows the Background of the Panel -----------
//-- not the Bitmap as on the PC (SP1, SP2) -----------
//---------------------------------------------------------
label_Street.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
1. Unfortunately, the TreeView.BackColor property is not supported on
PocketPC and Smartphone due to restrictions of the underlying OS
Click to expand...

If this is no problem for a ListView then why is it for a TreeView (just
interested)?

Hello Mark,

There is indeed a problem in the ListView control. The problem is that if
width of the first column is equal to -2 when the column is being added to
a ListView control then the column occupies the whole client area of the
ListView. A workaround for this is to set the width of the first column to
-2 after adding all columns to the ListView. For example, to workaround the
problem in your application, you need to add the following code after the
code that adds listview columns:

if (listViewListen.Columns.Count > 0)
listViewListen.Columns[0].Width = -2;


Regarding your question about the TreeView.BackColor property and
transparent color. I can understand that it seems strange that the .NET
Compact Framework supports the BackColor property for ListView and does not
for TreeView. The deal here is that the .NET Compact Framework does not
implement its own controls; instead it uses the native controls of the
underlying operating system. The native TreeView control on PPC does not
allow changing its backcolor (honestly, I don't know why) and that's why
the .NET Compact Framework does not support it. Same story with the
transparent color. The OS does not support it and that's why it does not
work in the .NET Compact Framework.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
Sergiy.

This brings the desired results.
Will this Bug be resolved in a furture release and reported as solved so
that such code can be taken out ?

20040202 - Serg Kuryata [MS]:
Regarding your question about the TreeView.BackColor property and
transparent color. I can understand that it seems strange that the .NET
Compact Framework supports the BackColor property for ListView and does not
for TreeView. The deal here is that the .NET Compact Framework does not
implement its own controls; instead it uses the native controls of the
underlying operating system. The native TreeView control on PPC does not
allow changing its backcolor (honestly, I don't know why) and that's why
the .NET Compact Framework does not support it. Same story with the
transparent color. The OS does not support it and that's why it does not
work in the .NET Compact Framework.

This is at least an explanation that one can understand, thank you for your
efforts.

Mark,

You don't have to change the code that adds columns (I mean that there is
no need to replace '-2' with '1'). You can leave as it is. The only thing
you need to do is to add the following code after the code that adds
columns:

if (listViewListen.Columns.Count > 0)
listViewListen.Columns[0].Width = -2;

This should solve your problem.

I filled a bug against this problem in our database, so I think it will be
fixed in a future release.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,
Sergiy.
