dock

I have a windows form which have a lot of controls in that(Listbox,Groupbox,Combobox,TextBox,ListBox etc). I need to resize and arrange the controls automatically whenever the form's size gets changed. I need to know the difference between Dock and Anchor to implement this. What is the actual difference between Docking and Anchoring? The Anchor and Dock properties of a form are two separate properties. Anchor refers to the position a control has relative to the edges of the form. A textbox, for example, that is anchored to the left edge of a form will stay in the same position as the form is

I have this problem where I open Visual Studio and the internal windows are scattered all over the place. None of them are docked; some that should be visible have become invisible and vice versa. I then have to spend ages getting the windows back where I like them. It only seems to happen with some solutions and only appeared recently. For the life of me I can't fix the problem. Has anyone else been through this? Sounds like there is definitely a problem with Visual Studio retaining your settings between round-trips and possibly your Visual Studio settings profile in general. The solution I'd

How can I drop a file(or select to open it in Finder) of a type specified in the Info.plist onto my dock icon and then calling a method with the full path of the file? Josh Freeman If you've set up your Info.plist's CFBundleDocumentTypes array properly (either 'LSItemContentTypes' or 'CFBundleTypeExtensions'), then you just need to set up an NSApplication delegate and implement the delegate method, application:openFile: . If you're expecting multiple files to be dropped at once, implement application:openFiles: . For promised files ( NSFilesPromisePboardType / kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromise )

I have been working on a replacement for the stock Car Home app for a bit, and I am completely stumped on how to override the Home button so that my app will be brought back to the foreground whenever the phone is docked. This is the way that Car Home works, so there must be a way. It seems that BroadcastReceivers won't work, because the intent that is broadcast whenever the Home button is pressed will still cause the default homescreen app to launch; I cannot prevent it. I can override the Home button from within my app, but that does me no good since this needs to work when the user is

I've got a Python/Linux application that displays bits of info I need in a GTK window. For the purposes of this discussion, it should behave exactly like a dock - exists on all virtual desktops, and maximized windows do not overlap it. The first point is pretty easy, but I have spent days bashing my head against my monitor trying to get the second point - preventing overlap. My app should not be covered if another window is maximized. Setting "always on top" is not enough, as the other windows just sit behind my info bar instead of stopping at its edge. In short: with a dock/panel style window

Some applications, like Photoshop, allow users to drag a picture from a web browser, or drag a file from the filesystem, onto the application's icon in the dock. Doing this opens the file in that application. How is this done? I'd like to use Cocoa and Objective-C, but I'm interested in any solutions in any languages. NSApplication allows you to set a delegate for your application. If the user drags a file onto your dock icon, NSApplication will call the method - (BOOL)application:(NSApplication *)theApplication openFile:(NSString *)filename of your delegate object, in case it implements any
