Searching for a report designer tool

Hi,

I would like to find a report designer tool which permits the end user to create a report based on some predefined elements created by the application I want to build. So, the basic idea would be to extend an already existing tool to achieve this kind of functionality.
So, if any of you have some thoughts or recommendation to what kind of software could I use, please give me some hints. Thanks in advance.

Now my given program consists of two buttons ADD and REMOVE with the TabControl.Now the ADD button

to add the tabpages and REMOVE button to remove the tabpages in the order the latestly opened tabpage.That

is,the order of opening(clicking) the tabpages is preserved so,that while removing the tabpage last opened gets

removed first.If u exceute my program below will understand the functionality.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{

private static int pageNumber = 4;
List<tabpage> _cache = new List<tabpage>();

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();

this.tabControl1.Selected += new TabControlEventHandler(tabControl1_Selected);

}

void tabControl1_Selected(object sender, TabControlEventArgs e)
{
if (e.TabPage != null)
{
if (_cache.Contains(e.TabPage))
{
_cache.Remove(e.TabPage);

}

_cache.Add(e.TabPage);

}

}

private void button1_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

TabPage page = new TabPage("TabPage" + pageNumber.ToString());
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(page);
this.tabControl1.SelectedTab = page;
pageNumber++;

}

private void button2_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

if (_cache.Count > 0)
{

this.tabControl1.Selected -= new TabControlEventHandler(tabControl1_Selected);

this.tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(_cache[_cache.Count - 1]);

this.tabControl1.Selected += new TabControlEventHandler(tabControl1_Selected);

_cache.RemoveAt(_cache.Count - 1);

}

if (_cache.Count > 0)
{

this.tabControl1.SelectedTab = _cache[_cache.Count - 1];
}

}

Now,my problem is while removing the tabpages that is,when i click on the REMOVE button after TWO

seconds the tabpages should get removed,that is with the delay of two seconds the tabpage should get removed.That is i need to set the time in the REMOVE Button .Can,u pls help me out unable to fix it can u send me sample according to my program.

Thanks in advance.

So all you want is a delay?

Create a border function like excel in datagridview

As my subject says, I am trying to create a border function like excel in datagridview. I have been googling for few days, and it looks like there is no easy answer to set border color for selected cells. If anybody has any clue on how to do this, it will be much appreciated. Thank you very much!

Note: I have successfully created bold function and (modified with the color picker found from this site) color picker for backcolor and forecolor with saving the setting in an xml file. If anyone needs it, please let me know.

The only way is to be smarter than the pirates, and even Microsoft is fighting a loosing battle on that ground Suspicious | :suss:

You could embed the number of the CPU or harddisk in the key that your software generates. Then when the user calls you, recreate the number of the CPU/harddisk. Associate this number with the address of the person who payed for the software.

In your key-generator, make sure you embed the same number in a format that you can't recognize it as the original number. You'll need to obfuscate your code, or this little schema will be easy to bypass.

That should keep 'em busy for a while Smile | :)

I are troll Smile | :)

XP Start Menu

I'm desperate for a program to give me an XP style menu in Vista. I'm sure the Vista menu is great for all those lazy, ignorant people that can't be bothered to organize their start menu and end up with columns and columns of menus. However I want my XP menu back! I love the pinned shortcuts at the top left followed below by most recently used shortcuts below. My folder view is only 4 or 5 folders: Office, Studio, System, Applications are my standard folders and I arrange everything in those folders. I want to keep this, but you can't do it in Vista. You only get the option of the classic menu. Classic? More like antiquated! I've searched and searched, but I can't find anything to accomplish this. I don't understand because I'm nowhere near the only one in this position. So, I'm turning to you guys and gals for help. Anyone know of how to get an XP style menu on Vista?

Thanks in advance!

I think the only way you're going to get that is to replace Explorer.exe with your own version, or some 3rd aprtry replacement. Come to think of it, I haven't seen a single replacement that was 100% stable.

If you're trying to do what I think you are, you can't do it. A grid can only be bound to a single table at a time. I would probably create another grid control for each table you want, put them all on a Panel control if you need to scroll through all the tables.
