Moving app window with FormBorderStyle set to None

Hello

I am creating an application with no FormBorder, and
I want the user to be able to move the application as
if there was FormBorders. It is something similar to
Microsoft Live Messenger (In MLM you can move the window
by holding down the left mouse button)

So I want to move the application when the user holds
down the left mouse button on a picturebox.

Is there any way to do that with C#?
If so can you tell me an article which describe it,
or maybe tell me how to do it?

Thanks
QzRz

This can be done by handling the WM_NCHITTEST message and returning HTCAPTION when the cursor is over the picturebox. Returning HTCAPTION regardless of the cursor position will allow the user to drag your form by clicking anywhere within it.

Use the Mouse Down, MouseMove and MouseUp events,
Capture the mouse oc-ordinates when the mouse is down and moving,
and set the location of the form to the mouse location (consider the offset)

i hope that works for you.

Hi

i am using .NET 1.1.

I am populating some data in DataTable using StoredProcedure.

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataRow dr;
DataSet ds = GetDataFromSP();
for (int k=0;k{
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[0] = int.Parse(ds.Tables[0].Rows[k]["ID"].ToString());
dr[1] = ds.Tables[0].Rows[k]["COL1"].ToString()
dr[2] = ds.Tables[0].Rows[k]["COL2"].ToString()
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
}
//Binding to Grid using dt.

In this DataTable(dt) with same primary key multiple rows are returning by SP.

i want to check DataTable weather with this primary key is there any dupliate entry. if entry exists in DataTable, avoid the adding into the dt.

how to do this?
any sounds appriciated. awaiting for response.

regards

Export columns from datagridview to Excel

Hi,

I have found som code on the Internet, which should export my datagridview to Excel. It also do that BUT it only export 4 of my 5 columns to excel (it's column number 4 it doesn't export which is Produkter.PrisExMoms from the database).

The code I use to export is:

#region Fakturalinier
int rIndex = 12;
foreach (DataRow row in dtOrdrelinier.Rows)
{
rIndex++;
int cIndex = 0;
foreach (DataColumn col in dtOrdrelinier.Columns)
{
cIndex++;
xlApp.Cells[rIndex + 1, cIndex] =
row[col.ColumnName].ToString();
}
}

}

#endregion

The code where I put the 5 columns into my datagridview:

#region FelterIDataGridView
// Databinding for the Grid
da2 = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT Ordre.Antal,
Ordre.VareNr, Produkter.Varenavn, Produkter.PrisExMoms FROM Produkter INNER
JOIN (Faktura INNER JOIN Ordre ON Faktura.FakturaID = Ordre.FakturaNr) ON
Produkter.VareNr = Ordre.VareNr WHERE FakturaID=@fakid", cn);

da2.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@fakid",
OleDbType.Integer);

da2.SelectCommand.Parameters["@fakid"].Value = fakid;

//create datatable
dtOrdrelinier = new DataTable();

//fill datatable
da2.Fill(dtOrdrelinier);

//create colum to hold the sum of other two colums
DataColumn col = new DataColumn("RaekkeBeloeb");
col.DataType = typeof(System.Decimal);
col.Expression = "Antal*PrisExMoms";

//add the colums
dtOrdrelinier.Columns.Add(col);

//bind datatable to grid view
dgrOrdre.DataSource = dtOrdrelinier;
#endregion

Anyone who can see why the column 4 (Produkter.PrisExMoms from the database) doesn't export to excel with the other columns?

Kind regards,

I found out, that the problem didn't was in the code, but in excel, where I had merged 2 columns together in the rows, where the datagridview should be.

I worked around the problem with the following code:

#region Fakturalinier
int rIndex = 12;
foreach (DataRow row in dtOrdrelinier.Rows)
{
rIndex++;
int cIndex = 0;
foreach (DataColumn col in dtOrdrelinier.Columns)
{
cIndex++;
if (cIndex == 4)
{
cIndex++;
}
xlApp.Cells[rIndex + 1, cIndex] = row[col.ColumnName].ToString();
}
}
#endregion

Can an instance return a value?

Hi.
Is there any way that an instance can return a value (like functions do) to another instance.

Regards.

Thanks stancrm,

Tried it, but not getting required result.
Actually i'm calling Form2 from Form1. After finishing Form2's function, a value is required from it, so that Form1 can continue its process. I think its more clear now.

Not really.

Perhaps you could chose the correct terms?

Right now one can only guess what you mean (for example "After finishing Form2's function" - are you calling a method on an instance of Form2? If so, why do you have problems returning a value from this method?)

No! calling the Form2 for entering a new record in the database. when the record is inserted there is no need to keep it. But here i need the newly iserted record's IDnumber (which is a primary key value) in the Form1, so that it can be inserted as FK in another table from Form1.

Oh boy, you should seriously start reading on OOP so that you can use the correct terms, otherwise people don't know what you're talking about.

I guess what you do is to create and show a dialog instance to perform some DB operations.
Then, when the dialog is closed and control is returned to the caller, you want the caller to be able to access some data Form2 received during the DB operations, right?

You simply have to add a publicly visible property to your Form2 class and set it's value after the insert has been performed.
Then you can query this property from the calling form.

Or you use events for this purpose if you don't want to show Form2 as a modal dialog.

Its also working. First I tried this technique, but there was my mistake Laugh | :laugh:

(value assignment to the property on wrong place, which yields nothing). Now its fixed.

Thanks and Regards.

Unfortunately you become less understandable as the thread continues. I think you might need something like this article: Passing Values Between Forms In .NET[^]

Don't send mail through Outlook.

The reason this security alert was added was to try to limit the spread of email-borne viruses. If you're trying to send email, use the classes from the System.Net.Mail namespace (from .NET 2.0) or System.Web.Mail (any version, but uses CDO rather than an implementation of the SMTP protocol).
