Behaviors were introduced with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 to provide easy separation of script from content. Before the advent of behaviors, DHTML scriptlets were the only way to encapsulate scripting code into manageable elements if you wanted to make your code more object oriented. For a primer on DHTML scriptlets, refer to the Cutting Edge column in the January 1998 issue of Microsoft Internet Developer. I also covered behaviors in the April 1999 issue....

I have replicated Visual Studios verticle TabStrip control, from the ground up. This lightweight control doesn't have containers which you can dump controls onto, as I have created control to be used with forms instead of conatiners. Enjoy this 173 code liner....

In Visual Studio® 2005, when I create a new Visual C# Project from the File menu, I don't see the template ASP.NET Web Application in the template window. If I choose to create a new Web site following the menu path Files | New | Website | General C# and I choose the template ASP.NET Web site, I'm missing many files such as Webform1.aspx.cs, Global.asax, Web.config, AssemblyInfo.cs, and so forth. Why is this happening?
In Visual Studio 2005 the project model has changed quite a bit (for the b...

Vista Sidebar Gadget allows you to bring on the Vista desktop all sorts of information you need: RSS feed, weather, stock value... You can easily write your own gadget with a little HTML and JavaScript code. However, because of lack of a development environment, writing a gadget could be somewhat frustrating. Sometimes you don't know why your gadget doesn't work as you want it to. Writing this article, I've decided to explore how the Vista Sidebar works internally so I could have a better unders...

I was in the middle of updating a program that I’d developed under NT and Win2K and I’d used CBitmapButton throughout the program. When porting over a new version of the program to run under XP, I noticed that my "old" bitmap buttons in VC7 weren’t style aware, and made the app look a tad dated. A search on the web brought my attention to a couple of other examples of hover buttons, but none which took my investment with CBitmapButton into consideration. I wanted a CBitmapButton derived class...

If you've seen the 2007 Microsoft Office system, you will have noticed that the new Microsoft® Office user interface is radically different from that of previous Office releases. So you probably won't be surprised to hear that the extensibility model behind the UI is also completely new.
Much like the old toolbars and menus it extended, the CommandBars object model (available since Office 97) was difficult to use effectively. The new model is known as RibbonX and claims many of the same a...

I have always wondered if there is a way to change or rather remove the default contents of the 'New Item' presented by VS.NET 2003 IDE, when I create a new file for my Microsoft .NET project. I knew that it should be somehow possible to do it, but will it take me to install a new plug-in or make more of Google to do it.
I tried to check some sources for this purpose and resulted myself in experimenting with the information in the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Help Documentation. All the inform...

Microsoft PowerShell is an operating environment for commands -- cmdlets, functions, filters, scripts, aliases, and executables. PowerShell is based on the .NET Framework, which means that out of the box your existing investment in .NET components is preserved. An additional benefit is PowerShell's extensibility. PowerShell "Snap-ins" let you seamlessly integrate existing .NET components. By eliminating the IDE, PowerShell offers new feedback loops by removing the compile, link, and go steps....

I orginally found CHoverButton by Nick Albers and liked the HoverButton idea, however it did not have enough versatility for what I wanted. There was a good start with the MouseHover\Leave code though. I wanted to be able move and resize the buttons at runtime. I also wanted to be able to stretch the bitmaps as well as load the hover images from a horizontal or veritcal layout. I also needed the buttons to draw as regular buttons just in case no bitmaps where loaded. Thus CHoverButtonEx is creat...

This update contains minor tweaks/fixes mostly related to transparency and image backgrounds (faster performance, less flicker on fast redraws).
It also fixes the GDI asserts in debug mode.
The main enhancement I've added is the capability to specify border/shadow color for flat/rounded rectangle buttons. I've simply added a COLORREF variable to the IsFlat() function protocol. You would simply call myButton.IsFlat(TRUE, 13, RGB(0,0,0)); -- It is backwards compatible, in that if you...

CGroup is a CButton-derived class. The group becomes a roll-up control with many features and options. Any controls confined within the group area will hide when the group is "closed" and show when it's "open". If more than one CGroup object share the same parent window, they will attract themselves vertically (this option can be disabled). Furthermore, many aspects of the control are fully customizable (see the Methods section for more information)....

I have to admit it; most of my Windows® Forms controls are an attempt to copy something that already exists. In my October 2004 column I showed you how to create a progress bar that mimicked the one shown during the Windows XP setup routine, and this month I'm at it again. This time, the object of my desire is the cool five-star rating control in Windows Media® Player (see Figure 1)....

Windows Forms 2.0 is far richer than any Windows application development platform that preceded it. You'll find improvements across the board, with a more dense and fully featured Microsoft® .NET Framework, tighter Visual Studio® integration with many new additional designers, a unified data binding model, and, the icing on the cake, ClickOnce for Web-style deployment....

It's very common to have both a menu item and a toolbar buttton that perform the same action when clicked. Sometimes there is even a third or fourth control (say a button and a context menu item) that do the same thing. These controls need to be enabled and disabled together. The code in this article allows each such control to be connected to a UICommand object by setting a property in the Visual Studio designer. The UICommand object has an Enabled property that enables or disables all of the a...
