COP4226, Extra Credit 2

Due Monday, September 22 (not late until 6 am 9/23)

Create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio. The project will use the user settings to save the size and location of the main form. It will also implement a modeless dialog with data exchange.

User Settings

Create user settings for the size of the form and the desktop location of the form.

• Use appropriate starting values.

Modeless Dialog

Create a dialog that will be opened modelessly.

• Add a label and textbox for a name.
• Add Ok, Apply and Close buttons.
• When Apply or Ok are clicked, notify any listeners.
• The Close button should only close the form.
• If the Enter Key is hit in the dialog, the Apply button handler should fire.
• If the Escape Key is hit in the dialog, the Close button handler should fire.
• Add an error provider to the dialog.
• Validate that the name is not empty when the OK or Apply buttons are clicked. Allow focus change. Use the error provider appropriately. Do not allow the action of these buttons to be performed if the data is not valid.
• Implement an interface for the name and an event.

Main Form

Create a main form that will have a group box and a list view.

• Create properties in the main form to access the user settings. Use these settings to access the properties in the main form.
• Set the size and desktop location to the settings when the form loads.
• Dock the groupbox to the top. Add four buttons to the group box.
  • Add Names button: open the modeless dialog.
    • Handle the dialog's event.
    • When the event fires, add the name to the list view, as long as the name is not empty.
    • Clear the name in the dialog after it is added to the list.
  • Save Size button: set the user setting for the size to the current size and save the settings
  • Save Location button: set the user setting for the location to the current desktop location and save the settings
  • Reset Settings button: reset the user settings to the original default values. Set the size and desktop location to the reset settings.
• Dock the list view so it fills the remaining available space in the form.
