Hi all, I am looking for a bit of help on a few issues
that are stumping me.

1)
How can I populate a panel control with a form? In
TeeCharts.Net's Demo, the author uses a custom bit of
code that accepts an instantiated form object, and a
windows control. In his use, the form is a template
style form and the control is a tab page. Now I can use
this method Steema.TeeChart.Editors.EditorUtils.InsertForm
()) in my own project if I make the appropriate
references. This works even for my use of a panel.
However, I would love to know how it is being
accomplished so I can replicate it for my own
understanding, even though we have purchased TeeCharts.

2)
I'm a bit lost on window control bindings. If I have a
textbox that I want to bind it's text property to a
variable (or form property), how is this accomplished.
It's simple when working with datasets,

textbox.databindings.add(new binding("text", ds", "bleh")

but its not so easy when using just a variable. Any
ideas, or am I completely missing the boat here?

3)
What is the prefered method to dealing with passing data
around forms. I have played with shared variables,
events, and even by using a shared method with byRef's on
the called upon form to show itself and do its business.

4)
Is there a quick tutorial that any of you would recommend
for me to read up on for error handling? I typically do
the try/catch thing inside of every method of mine, but
I'm sure that the proper way to do this is by tossing off
a custom exception that I handle in a single point for
logging etc.

Thanks for everything guys, I'm off to put my head into a
nice icebucket for a few hours :(

Click to expand...

You can create a borderless form. Set its TopLevel property to False.
Then you can add it to the panels control collection or set the form's
parent to be the panel. Then it will appear inside the panel.


Others will have to help you with the rest of your questions.
