  • How To Make Moving News Bar in Windows Forms Application without Timer

    - by Ehab Sutan
    I'm making a desktop application in C# which contains a moving News Bar labels. I'm using a timer to move these labels but the problem is that when i make the interval of this timer low (1-10 for example) the application takes very high percentage of CPU Usage, And when i make it higher(200 -500 ) the movement of the labels becomes intermittent or not smooth movement even that the user may not be able to read the news in Comfortable way. ((More Information)) it is Windows form application. the way i move the labels is as follows : the news items from RSS feeds are represented in a group of linklabels. All these linklabels are added to a flowlayout container. The timer moves the whole flowlayout container. I found this way according to my knowledge the best way to making the news bar. If you have better idea or solution please help

  • Strongly Typed Controls in .NET

    - by Tigraine
    I am working on a Windows Forms app for quite some time now, and I really find myself doing more typecasts in the GUI code than I ever did in my underlying business code. What I mean becomes apparent if you watch the ComboBox control that accepts some vague "object" as it's item. Then you go off and may display some DisplayMember and a ValueMember and so on. If I want to retrieve that value later I need to typecast my object back to what it was. Like with strings getting the value takes string value = (string)combobox1.SelectedItem; Since there are generics in the Framework for quite some time now, I still wonder why in the Hell not one control from the standard toolbox is generic. I also find myself using the .Tag property on ListViewItems all the time to keep the displayed domain object. But everytime I need to access that object I then need another typecast. Why cant I just create a ComboBox or ListView with items of type ListViewItem Am I missing something here or is this just another example of not perfectly well thought through controls?

  • NotifyIcon behaviour on Windows 7 with MouseClick, MouseDoubleClick events

    - by binball
    I have strange behaviour with my app after run it on Windows 7. It's connected with NotifyIcon while app is minimized. What should happens: 1) Click once on icon with mouse left button then Balloon with some text should appears 2) Double click on icon will show again app window On Windows 7 MouseDoubleClick is also fired but window is not showing. I don't know why. The same code works good on Windows XP. private void notifyIcon_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) { this.NotifyIconShowBalloonWithData(); } } private void notifyIcon_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { this.Show(); WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; notifyIcon.Visible = false; } What did I wrong? :)

  • Creating a KeyDown Event Handler for the Label Control

    - by j-t-s
    Hi All I'm sure you're all aware of the fact that the Label Control has no KeyDown handler (and why would it?)... Anyway, I'm in need of a KeyDown handler for the Label Control and would appreciate any pointers/suggestions to get me started. I've searched around but haven't found any info on creating my own Event Handlers for the Label Control. Can this be done is C#? Thanks

  • Using a WinForm as a Windows Installer Custom Action

    - by Serexx
    Hello - I am working on in installer project that needs to gather some info and act on it during the install (mainly online key retreival and registration). The Setup Project UserInterface templates seem inflexible and poorly documented so I am looking at opening a WinForm as a Custom Action. I know this is possible because I see reference to it in many places but this is my first Windows Installer experience and so far it is mired in googled contradictions, partial or outdated information and guesswork... erg.... Does anyone have (even a pointer to) a clear concise description of how one gets this done in a VS 2008 WinForm project... Many thanks for inputs

  • Dynamically showing fields to a Dev Express Grid view on windows form

    - by Bhaskar
    In one of windows application in C# , I am using Dev Express Grid view control to bind some data and display it to user. I have custom business objects with properties defined for this purpose.Then I simple set the DataSource of the grid to the list of my custom business objects. A while ago , there came a requirement which means that the columns to be displayed on to the grid will be dynamic. This means I cannot know at design time which fields I will need to display. I was thinking of abandoning setting the DataSource and populating the grid manually by code. But I think this will cause many of the grid's features not to work properly, for example , grouping the data by drag n drop of fields to the header area etc. Is there any way to tell a grid at runtime to skip certain fields from a list of BO's when databinding to the grid ?

  • System.Drawing - bad text rendering using DrawString on top of transparent pixels.

    - by mackenir
    When rendering text into a bitmap, I find that text looks very bad when rendered on top of an area with non-opaque alpha. The problem is progressively worse as the underlying pixels become more transparent. If I had to guess I'd say that when underlying pixels are transparent, the text renderer draws any anti-aliased 'gray' pixels as solid black. Here are some screenshots: Text drawn on top of transparent pixels: Text drawn on top of semi-transparent pixels: Text drawn on opaque pixels: Here is the code used to render the text: g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality; g.DrawString("Press the spacebar", Font, Brushes.Black, textLeft, textTop);

  • Why .NET does not allow cross-thread operations?

    - by RHaguiuda
    This question is not about what is a cross-thread operation, and how to avoid it, but why internal mechanics of .NET framework does not allow a cross-thread operation. I can`t understand why a SerialPort DataReceived event cannot update a simple text box on my form and why using delegates this is possible?

  • Second Thread Holding Up Entire Program in C# Windows Form Application

    - by Brandon
    In my windows form application, I'm trying to test the user's ability to access a remote machine's shared folder. The way I'm doing this (and I'm sure that there are better ways...but I don't know of them) is to check for the existence of a specific directory on the remote machine (I'm doing this because of firewall/other security restrictions that I'm confronted with in my organization). If the user has rights to access the shared folder, then it returns in no time at all, but if they don't, it hangs forever. To solve this, I threw the check into another thread and wait only 1000 milliseconds before determining that the share can't be hit by the user. However, when I do this, it still hangs as if it was never run in the same thread. What is making it hang and how do I fix it? I would think that the fact that it is in a separate thread would allow me to just let the thread finish on it's own in the background. Here is my code: bool canHitInstallPath = false; Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(() => { canHitInstallPath = Directory.Exists(compInfo.InstallPath); })); thread.Start(); thread.Join(1000); if (canHitInstallPath == false) { throw new Exception("Cannot hit folder: " + compInfo.InstallPath); }

  • "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute." on form disposal.

    - by cyclotis04
    "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute." appears to be a common error with foreach loops, but I can't figure mine out. I have two classes of forms. One is begun on startup, and a button creates new instances of the second form, and displays them. When I close the secondary forms, I get an InvalidOperationException. FirstForm.cs public partial class FirstForm : Form { SecondForm frmSecond; ... private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { frmSecond= new SecondForm (); frmSecond.Show(); } } SecondForm.designer.cs partial class SecondForm { ... protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) { if (disposing && (components != null)) { components.Dispose(); } base.Dispose(disposing); // InvalidOperationException thrown here. } }

  • two UserControls, one page, need to notify each other of updates

    - by jeriley
    I've got a user control thats used twice on the same page, each have the ability to be updated (a dropdown list gets a new item) and I'm not sure what might be the best way to handle this. One concern - this is an older system (~4+ years, datasets, .net2) and it is amazingly brittle. I did manage to have it run on 3.5 with no problems, but I've had a few run-ins with the javascript validation (~300 lines per page) throwing up all over the place when I change/add/modify controls in the parent.

  • Customising the .NET PrintPreviewDialog?

    - by Gary Willoughby
    Currently i'm using the PrintPreviewDialog to open a window to preview the printed pages before they are sent to a printer. The problem is though that it first appears very small, at the top left of the screen and the buttons are too small. Is there anyway i can set a starting size for this dialog or start position or even make the little buttons a little bigger? Or do i need to implement my own?

  • Scrollbar still is painted after it should be removed

    - by Walter Williams
    I have the following custom control and can place on a form (with AutoScroll set to true and the control anchored left, top and right). If the form is too short for the control, the form correctly resizes the control (to make room for the scroll) and displays the scroll bar. When the control is closed using the close glyph, the control is resized and the scroll bar is removed, but occasionally the scroll bar appears to remain painted. If the form is minimized or moved off-screen, the leftover paint is removed. I've tried Parent.Invalidate and have toyed with it in many ways but to no avail. Any suggestions? (Using VS 2008 Standard) using System; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Drawing2D; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace GroupPanelTest { public class GroupPanel : GroupBox { #region Members private const Int32 iHeaderHeight = 20; private Int32 iFullHeight = 200; private Boolean bClosed = false; private Rectangle rectCloseGlyphBounds = Rectangle.Empty; private Boolean bIsMoveOverCloseGlyph = false; #endregion #region Properties [DefaultValue(false)] public Boolean Closed { get { return (this.bClosed); } set { if (this.bClosed != value) { this.bClosed = value; if (this.bClosed) { this.iFullHeight = base.Height; base.Height = GroupPanel.iHeaderHeight; } else { base.Height = this.iFullHeight; } foreach (Control con in base.Controls) con.Visible = !this.bClosed; this.Invalidate(); } } } public new Int32 Height { get { return (base.Height); } set { if (value != base.Height) { if (this.Closed) { this.iFullHeight = value; } else { Int32 iOldHeight = base.Height; base.Height = value; } } } } [DefaultValue(typeof(Size), "350,200")] public new Size Size { get { return (base.Size); } set { if (base.Size != value) { base.Size = value; if (!this.Closed) this.iFullHeight = value.Height; } } } [DefaultValue(typeof(Padding), "0,7,0,0")] public new Padding Padding { get { return (base.Padding); } set { base.Padding = value; } } #endregion #region Construction public GroupPanel () { SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true); SetStyle(ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, true); SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, true); SetStyle(ControlStyles.Selectable, true); this.Size = new Size(350, 200); this.Padding = new Padding(0, 7, 0, 0); // the groupbox will add to that this.rectCloseGlyphBounds = new Rectangle(base.ClientSize.Width - 24, 2, 16, 16); } #endregion #region Overrides protected override void OnSizeChanged (EventArgs e) { this.rectCloseGlyphBounds = new Rectangle(base.ClientSize.Width - 24, 2, 16, 16); base.OnSizeChanged(e); } protected override void OnPaint (PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint(e); // we want all the delegates to receive the events, but we do this first so we can paint over it Graphics g = e.Graphics; g.FillRectangle(SystemBrushes.Window, this.ClientRectangle); Rectangle rectTitle = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.ClientRectangle.Width, GroupPanel.iHeaderHeight); g.FillRectangle(SystemBrushes.Control, rectTitle); g.DrawString(this.Text, this.Font, SystemBrushes.ControlText, new PointF(5.0f, 3.0f)); if (this.bIsMoveOverCloseGlyph) { g.FillRectangle(SystemBrushes.ButtonHighlight, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds); Rectangle rectBorder = this.rectCloseGlyphBounds; rectBorder.Inflate(-1, -1); g.DrawRectangle(SystemPens.Highlight, rectBorder); } using (Pen pen = new Pen(SystemColors.ControlText, 1.6f)) { if (this.Closed) { g.DrawLine(pen, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 3, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 3, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 8); g.DrawLine(pen, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 13, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 3, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 8); g.DrawLine(pen, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 3, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 7, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 12); g.DrawLine(pen, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 13, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 7, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 12); } else { g.DrawLine(pen, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 3, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 3); g.DrawLine(pen, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 13, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 3); g.DrawLine(pen, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 3, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 12, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 7); g.DrawLine(pen, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 13, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 12, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Left + 8, this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Top + 7); } } } protected override void OnMouseDown (MouseEventArgs e) { if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left && this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Contains(e.Location)) this.Closed = !this.Closed; // close will call invalidate base.OnMouseDown(e); } protected override void OnMouseMove (MouseEventArgs e) { this.bIsMoveOverCloseGlyph = this.rectCloseGlyphBounds.Contains(e.Location); this.Invalidate(this.rectCloseGlyphBounds); base.OnMouseMove(e); } #endregion } }

  • Upgrade .NET 1.1 WinForm/Service to what?

    - by Conor
    Hi Folks, We have a current WinForm/Windows Service running in .NET 1.1 out on various customer sites that is getting data from internal systems, transforming it and then calling a Web Service synchronously. This client app will no longer work in Vista or Windows 7 etc.. and its time to update!! I was looking for ideas on what I could do here, I didn't write the App and I have the Business team telling me they want the world but I need to be realistic :) Things the service must be able to do: - Handle multiple formats from internal system and transform to a schema SAP, ERP etc.. - Run silently and just work on customer sites (it does currently albeit .NET 1.1) - The Customers are unable to call our web service from their sites as they are not technical enough. - Upgrade it's self when updates occur (currently don't have this capability) Is there anything I can do here other than upgrade the service to run in .NET and add a few more transformation capabilities e..g they want the customer to be able to give us a flat file, an xml file, a csv and the service transforms it and calls the Web Service? I was hoping in this day and age we could use the Web, but automating this 100% rules it out in my eyes? I could be totally wrong!! Any help would be gratefully appreciated! Cheers. Conor

  • Arrow keys and changing control's focus hang the application

    - by sthay
    I have a usercontrol that contains a FlowLayoutPanel (topdown flow) with a bunch of radiobuttons. The control exposes a CheckedChanged event that fires whenever one of the radiobuttons's check changed. My form contains the usercontrol and a textbox. I subscribe the usercontrol's CheckedChanged event and depending on which radiobutton gets checked, I either disable the textbox or put a focus inside the textbox. All this works fine with mouseclick when changing the radiobutton's check state. However, this will hang indefinitely when using the arrow keys. I don't understand why the difference. The following are steps to reproduce the behavior I'm seeing: Create a usercontrol and drop a FlowLayoutPanel control and set its FlowDirection = TopDown. Then add two radiobuttons to the FlowLayoutPanel. Provide an event handler in the usercontrol public event EventHandler CheckedChanged { add { radioButton2.CheckedChanged += value; } remove { radioButton2.CheckedChanged -= value; } } Create a windows form and drop the above user control. Add a textbox and set Enabled to False. Subscribe to the usercontrol's CheckedChanged event as follows private void userControl11_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { textBox1.Select(); } Run. Notice that if you use the mouse to click between the radiobuttons, thing works fine; but it will crash if you use the up/down arrow keys.

  • Quicken like Windows Forms application

    - by WinFXGuy
    Hi All, I need to build a quicken like application, where data needs to be secure. I don't see any database being used by Quicken. I could use XML, MDF or Access database, but data is not secure in the tables. What is the best option? How does Quicken handle it? My application may also have document attachments as well. The functionality of this application is similar to quicken but not an accounting/financial in functionality. Thanks a bunch!

  • How can I reorder columns in a DataGridView?

    - by Luiscencio
    so I fill my DGV with some data and set some columns invisible: var part = inventory.espiromex_product.Where(p => p.descriptionsmall == cmbMainP.Text).First().partnumberp; dtgAssy.DataSource = inventory.espiromex_productsub.Where(p => p.partnumberp == part); dtgAssy.Columns["idproductsub"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["partnumberp"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["partnumbersubp"].Visible = true; dtgAssy.Columns["quantity"].Visible = true; dtgAssy.Columns["comments"].Visible = true; dtgAssy.Columns["assemblyno"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["assemblynodesc"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["uomid"].Visible = true; dtgAssy.Columns["subassemblylevelnumber"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["scrappercent"].Visible = true; this is just fine but columns are sorted Alphabetically, How can I reorder columns programmatically? note that inventory is an Entitie and I am using Linq to Entities.

  • How to check whether the form has any ShowDialog() forms open?

    - by kornelijepetak
    I have a form MainForm with several properties/methods that are accessed from another thread. At some point I might open a form AuxForm with ShowDialog() and then while that modal form is open, the other thread still modifies the MainForm's properties. This is all desired. In one of the methods accessed from another thread I need to execute some code, but only if the modal AuxForm is not open. Is there any way to check this (by using .NET WF Form properties) or I need to use a flag variable? NOTE: None of these properties/methods modify the controls (so no Invoke is required).

  • Form.ShowDialog() does not show form.

    - by clawson
    I've come across a situation where I try to run a simple line of code in a method Dim res As DialogResult = frmOptions.ShowDialog() but nothing happens. The dialog box will not appear. If I run this method from another location in the code it executes fine (i.e. displays the form in dialog mode and code executes fine thereafter). Hence, it may be the way in which I arrive at this code that is causing my problem, but I cannot see to find what is wrong. When I pause the debugger the line of code is highlighted in green but I can't see to step over it or into it. Any idea what may cause this to happen, or what I should be looking for that might be causing the problem?? Thanks for the help!
