when i install DirectX9.0b SDK (the latest version)...i
dont get the templates in new project's window...

thats ok...there must be a newer version released soon...

but another bad thing is that...i am creating a custom
application...there are many controls...all of them
needed...the company manager wants every single detail
about his company sales...

i put controls in a groupbox...the groupbox is in a
panel...there are four other panels than this...each
overlapping the other (i bringtofront() one of them on
when ever needed)...

now when i save and close this form designer window and
reopen it again (loading of controls into designer
happens here) i see most controls are in different place
(moved)...i have to rearrange them again...this happens
even when i go to another window and comeback to the form
designer again...

anyone had the same problem?

sorry if the message was long...

Hi,

Did you try right clicking on the form in the Designer window and
selecting Lock Controls?

yeah...that was the 3rd or 4th thing i did...but it
doesnt work...

it looks to me that there is some misscalculation on
positioning the controls in design time...the form is
borderless and when it first loads in the designer it
shows with border and then the border is set to none
which causes the form to get smaller ofourse...but the
position of some controls changes...i will look in
InitializeComponent() may be the object initialization's
order should be changed...but the designer will change it
back...or i should put the initialization controls in
another procedure that runs before InitializeComponent()

...i have to rearrange the controls before each
compile...this is bad...

Are all of the controls' Anchor properties set the same?
I know that this should not matter in the real world but
this is software. 8^}

The control set up should be done in InitializeComponent()
that part is correct. Was the automatically Designer generated code
manually modified? Perhaps there's a typo there or a control
property that is still remaining after the control has been
removed? The automated stuff doesn't always get this right.

What happens if you create the controls "on the fly?"

yeah...they are set to default (top-left).

no...non of this happened...i removed some controls but
they dont exist now...i just checked for this...i didnt
modified something...

>What happens if you create the controls "on the fly?"
well...there will be more than 4000 lines to write for
control properties...it will take me lots of time...

but it is ok...thanx for ur and charlie's time...this
project will be finish this week...next time i will take
care of this since the begining...

have a nice time...
