Question

I’ve some questions .. and I really need your help.

1. I have an application.

   First I display a splash screen, a form, and this splash would call another form.

   Problem: When the splash form is displayed, if I then open another application on the top of the splash, and then minimize this newly opened application window, the splash screen becomes white. How do I avoid this? I want my splash to be displayed clearly and not affected by any application.

2. I’m using a DropDownList but I realized that there is 2 types of it . I found ‘Dropdown’ which makes the text inside the DDL editable, and ‘DropDownList’ which doesn’t.

   Problem: when I tried to use DropDownList control it doesn’t allow me to add a default text while DropDown does so I want a DropDownList control which prevent modifying on the text and allow a default text .. what property should I use?

3. Can I add ‘?’ which denotes to Help button to the FormBorder (with the minimization, maximization, and close buttons )

4. Can I change the colour of the Formborder from its default colour (blue) ?

5. One of my application functionality is to copy files from server to phone into a certain folder in memory card.

   Problem : can I determine the free size of the MMC to notify the user if it’s full while copying.

Answer 1

3) You have to set the ‘HelpButton’ property of the form to true. However the ‘?’ button is only visible if you deactivate the maximize and minimize buttons by setting ‘MinimizeBox’ and ‘MaximizeBox’ to false.
