  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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places but this is my first Windows Installer experience and so far it is mired in googled contradictions, partial or outdated information and guesswork...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

  • How to collect user opinions about software

    - by alga
    I have written a small .net Windows Forms application. And now I decided to get opinions or comments from users. User will just write something in a input form and click a send button. I want to use the most easiest way. I don't want to host any webservices or another applications for gathering the information. Also I don't have a database. Nothing. I just want to know what people think about the application. How would you do it?

  • 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 } }

  • 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?

  • Failing to send key presses to a running process in C#

    - by Waffles
    I'm using the following code to put the focus on a window (in this case, a notepad window), and sending some key presses to it everytime button 2 is clicked. However, when I press button 2, nothing happens. Can anyone tell my why my sendkeys command is failing? public partial class Form1 : Form { [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow); private Process s; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.s = new Process(); s.StartInfo.FileName = "notepad"; s.Start(); s.WaitForInputIdle(); } private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ShowWindow(s.MainWindowHandle, 1); SendKeys.SendWait("Hello"); } }

  • .Net Designer assemblies, C++\C# error

    - by greggorob64
    I'm working on an designer-heavy application (using Visual C++ 2.0, but a C# solution should still be relevant). My setup is this: I have a UserControl named "Host" I'm attempting a UserControl named "Child" Child contains a property to a class whose type is defined in a different dll entirely, named "mytools.dll" Child works just fine in the designer. However, when I go to drag "child" onto "host" from the designer, I get the following error: Failed to create component 'Child'. The error message follows: 'System.io.filenotfoundexception: could not load file or assembly MyTools, Version XXXXXX, Culture=neutral ..... {unhelpful callstack} If I comment out the property in "child" that points to the class in mytools.dll, everything designs just peachy. I have the property marked with "Browsable(false), and DesignerSerializable(hidden), and it does not help. Is there a way for me to explicitly say "Don't load this dll, you won't need it in design time", or some way for me to force a dll to load from the designer programmatically? Thanks!

  • Unable to Calculate Position within Owner-Draw Text

    - by Jonathan Wood
    I'm trying to use Visual Studio 2012 to create a Windows Forms application that can place the caret at the current position within a owner-drawn string. However, I've been unable to find a way to accurately calculate that position. I've done this successfully before in C++. I've now tried numerous methods in C#. Originally, I tried using .NET classes to determine the correct position, but then I tried accessing the Windows API directly. In some cases, I came close, but after some time I still cannot place the caret accurately. I've created a small test program and posted key parts below. I've also posted the entire project here. The exact font used is not important to me; however, my application assumes a mono-spaced font. Any help is appreciated. Form1.cs This is my main form. public partial class Form1 : Form { private string TestString; private int AveCharWidth; private int Position; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); TestString = "123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890"; AveCharWidth = GetFontWidth(); Position = 0; } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericMonospace, 12, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Pixel); } protected override void OnGotFocus(EventArgs e) { Windows.CreateCaret(Handle, (IntPtr)0, 2, (int)Font.Height); Windows.ShowCaret(Handle); UpdateCaretPosition(); base.OnGotFocus(e); } protected void UpdateCaretPosition() { Windows.SetCaretPos(Padding.Left + (Position * AveCharWidth), Padding.Top); } protected override void OnLostFocus(EventArgs e) { Windows.HideCaret(Handle); Windows.DestroyCaret(); base.OnLostFocus(e); } protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { e.Graphics.DrawString(TestString, Font, SystemBrushes.WindowText, new PointF(Padding.Left, Padding.Top)); } protected override bool IsInputKey(Keys keyData) { switch (keyData) { case Keys.Right: case Keys.Left: return true; } return base.IsInputKey(keyData); } protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e) { switch (e.KeyCode) { case Keys.Left: Position = Math.Max(Position - 1, 0); UpdateCaretPosition(); break; case Keys.Right: Position = Math.Min(Position + 1, TestString.Length); UpdateCaretPosition(); break; } base.OnKeyDown(e); } protected int GetFontWidth() { int AverageCharWidth = 0; using (var graphics = this.CreateGraphics()) { try { Windows.TEXTMETRIC tm; var hdc = graphics.GetHdc(); IntPtr hFont = this.Font.ToHfont(); IntPtr hOldFont = Windows.SelectObject(hdc, hFont); var a = Windows.GetTextMetrics(hdc, out tm); var b = Windows.SelectObject(hdc, hOldFont); var c = Windows.DeleteObject(hFont); AverageCharWidth = tm.tmAveCharWidth; } catch { } finally { graphics.ReleaseHdc(); } } return AverageCharWidth; } } Windows.cs Here are my Windows API declarations. public static class Windows { [Serializable, StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] public struct TEXTMETRIC { public int tmHeight; public int tmAscent; public int tmDescent; public int tmInternalLeading; public int tmExternalLeading; public int tmAveCharWidth; public int tmMaxCharWidth; public int tmWeight; public int tmOverhang; public int tmDigitizedAspectX; public int tmDigitizedAspectY; public short tmFirstChar; public short tmLastChar; public short tmDefaultChar; public short tmBreakChar; public byte tmItalic; public byte tmUnderlined; public byte tmStruckOut; public byte tmPitchAndFamily; public byte tmCharSet; } [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern bool CreateCaret(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr hBitmap, int nWidth, int nHeight); [DllImport("User32.dll")] public static extern bool SetCaretPos(int x, int y); [DllImport("User32.dll")] public static extern bool DestroyCaret(); [DllImport("User32.dll")] public static extern bool ShowCaret(IntPtr hWnd); [DllImport("User32.dll")] public static extern bool HideCaret(IntPtr hWnd); [DllImport("gdi32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] public static extern bool GetTextMetrics(IntPtr hdc, out TEXTMETRIC lptm); [DllImport("gdi32.dll")] public static extern IntPtr SelectObject(IntPtr hdc, IntPtr hgdiobj); [DllImport("GDI32.dll")] public static extern bool DeleteObject(IntPtr hObject); }

  • Binding a ListBox's SelectedItem in the presence of BindingNavigator

    - by Reinderien
    Hello. I'm trying to bind a ListBox's SelectedItem data to a property. The following code is an example: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace BindingFailure { static class Program { class OuterObject { public string selected { get; set; } public List<string> strings { get; set; } } public static void Main() { List<OuterObject> objs = new List<OuterObject>() { new OuterObject(), new OuterObject() }; objs[0].strings = new List<string> { "one", "two", "three" }; objs[1].strings = new List<string> { "four", "five", "six" }; Form form = new Form(); BindingSource obs = new BindingSource(objs, null), ibs = new BindingSource(obs, "strings"); BindingNavigator nav = new BindingNavigator(obs); ListBox lbox = new ListBox(); lbox.DataSource = ibs; lbox.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("SelectedItem", obs, "selected")); form.Controls.Add(nav); form.Controls.Add(lbox); lbox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(30, 30); Application.Run(form); } } } If you just select an item, move forward, select an item and then exit, it works as expected. But if you switch back and forth between the two outer objects with the navigator, the selected item seems to be overwritten with an incorrect value. Ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

  • How do I add/remove items to a ListView in virtual mode?

    - by Eric
    If I'm using a ListView in virtual mode then, as I understand it, the list view only keeps track of a small number of items in the list. As the user scrolls it dynamically retrieves items it needs to show from the virtual list. But what if an item is added or removed from the master list? If an item is added/removed outside of the range of indexes being shown by the list view then I would assume the list view would show the added/missing items when the user scrolls to that index. Is this correct? But what if an item is added/removed from the range of indexes the user is currently viewing? How do I trigger the list view to refresh the items it is currently viewing to show the new/missing items?

  • Creating a Custom UserControl TestContainer for Visual Studio

    - by AMissico
    I like to use the "UserControl TestContainer" that works great for testing a controls properties during design time. Yet it has limitations. Usually, I just create a Windows Form Application to test the control's run-time interface. It would be nice to combine the two phases. Today, I discovered that the test-container is defined in the project file as show below. What I like to do is create my own test-container and use it for my Windows Forms Control Library projects in Visual Studio 2008. I cannot find any specific documentation, and the documentation I found was related to MSTest and not helpful. Any help, suggestions, or research directions for implementing my own test-container? <ItemGroup> <Service Include="{94E38DFF-614B-4cbd-B67C-F211BB35CE8B}" /> </ItemGroup>

  • How can I process a form's events in another class / module automatically in VB.NET

    Here's my code: Public Class Form1 End Class Public Class Form1Handler Inherits Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click MsgBox("I") End Sub End Class I'm trying to get Form1Handler to process Form1's events automatically. How can I do this? Should I use a module instead? I'm doing this in VB 2010. I don't want to have to make an event handler in Form1 and then pipe it to the other class / module, is there some way to automatically "pipe" the events from form1 to form1handler?

  • DataGridView with row-specific DataGridViewComboBoxColumn contents in C# Windows Forms 3.5

    - by XXXXX
    So I have something like the following data structure (constructors omitted) class Child { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } } class Parent { public string Name { get; set; } public List <Child> Children { get; private set; } // never null; list never empty public Child FavoriteChild { get; set; } // never null; always a reference to a Child in Children } List < Parent > Parents; What I want to do is show a DataGridView where each row is a Parent from Parent list. Each row should have two columns: a text box showing the parent's name and a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn containing that parent's children, from which the user can select the parent's favorite child. I suppose I could do the whole thing manually, but I'd like to do all this with more-or-less standard Data Binding. It's easy enough to bind the DataGridView to the list of parents, and easy enough to bind the selected child to the FavoriteChild property. The part that's giving me difficulty is that it looks like the Combo Box column wants to bind to one data source for all the combo-box's contents on all rows. I'd like each instance of the combo box to bind to the list of each parent's children. I'm fairly new to C#/Windows Forms, so I may well be missing something obvious. Or it could be that "you can't get there from here." It's not too tough to make a separate list of all the children and filter it by parent; I'm looking into that possibility right now. Is this feasible, or is there a better way?

  • Prevent Casual Piracy for Simple Utility

    - by Chad
    I've written a small utility that I wish to sell for less than $10. My primary concern is "casual piracy". The scenario that plays out in my mind is this: User buys the program, enjoys using it and tells their friends. The friends copy the application to their USB drives and take it home - using the application for free (maybe never realizing they should have purchased it. Since I've got absolutely no protection built in, it would just be a simple copy'n paste to pirate the app. The users who would be using the app are in close proximity to each other (work in the same environment), so casual piracy would likely occur frequently. Any ideas? Keeping in mind the app is cheap (partly to reduce casual piracy), and the level of effort to write the app hasn't been very demanding. Update: the app will run on any system that supports .NET 3.5.
