While there are a few ways ranging from overriding ProcessDialogKey and doing nothing while a state variable is set to P/Invoking SetWindowsHookEx and writing an extremely efficient and robust keyboard hook, the most simple way is to set RichTextBox.Enabled to false. The point of disabling a control is to disable input into that control.

The ValueChanged event of the NumericUpDown control is not fired when the user changes its value, by typing in the text part of it;
Though it should be, as documented in MSDN.
(it is only fired when the user clicks the up and down arrows)
How can I make it to be fired?

It should be fired when the control loses focus. Until the control loses focus the value is not actually changed when editing it manually. If this wasn't the case, if you mean to type 90 and the event fired when you typed just 9, bad things could happen that the developers using the control may not expect.
If this is the behavior you want, try extending the control and overriding ProcessDialogKey or ProcessDialogChar and fire the event yourself, or use a timer to fire the event after a short amount of time (enough to give moderately slow typers time to enter 2 or more digits - whatever it is you're expecting).

sorry for posting again :
if its web based then try this ..
//client side code ...
function ValidateNum(input,event){
var keyCode = event.which ? event.which : event.keyCode;
if(parseInt(keyCode)>=48 && parseInt(keyCode)<=57){
return true;
}
return false;
}
at server side page load event
write
yourtextboxname.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress","return ValidateNum(this,event)");

Handle the KeyPress event and set KeyPressEventArg's Handled property to true if the character is non-numeric.

Just as Font.Height property gets the line spacing, in pixels, of the given font, how to calculate the same when we have an image instead of a text between two lines.
i.e if we insert an image in any document one after another in consecutive lines there is some space between two images. How to get that value ?
---------------------------------------- line 1
(^o^)/ my image
---------------------------------------- line 2
please guide

here is what I have:
<br />
private frmMain ParentForm<br />
{<br />
get{return (frmMain)this.MdiParent;}<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void frmEventList_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
ParentForm.StatusBar = "Searching for events";
LookupEvents(DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now);<br />
ParentForm.StatusBar = "Ready222";<br />
}<br />
using this the Parent forms status bar text does not change. No exception is thrown indiciating that there is somthing wrong with the code. I have just recently had to change over from VB.NEt so it may be something simple.
Thanks for the help

are u sure ur frmEventList_Load is getting callled? Try putting a break point in the event handler and following ur code. U should see where ur code is failing to do what u expect. What u've posted looks fine but we're missing a lot more that could be wrong.

|

|

I have put the line break in the load event. It steps through fine, but when I call on the StatusBar property in the commend window it says:
error: 'ParentForm.StatusBar' does not exist
but how would the parent mdiForm not exist? Thanks for the help.
|
|
|
|
|
Could you please post the code where u are creating and showing the MdiChild?
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the form load for the mdiParent
<br />
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
StatusBarPanel status = new StatusBarPanel();<br />
status.AutoSize = StatusBarPanelAutoSize.Spring;<br />
sbrStatus.Panels.Add(status);<br />
sbrStatus.ShowPanels = true;<br />
<br />
Form frmEventList = new frmEventList();<br />
frmEventList.MdiParent = this;<br />
frmEventList.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized;<br />
frmEventList.Show();<br />
}<br />
Thanks for the help

I cant see what is wrong with ur code...at least not to the point where the command line would give u the error ur stating, unless ur querying ParentForm.StatusBar when its out of scope although I doubt that. Whats even wierder is that, if I'm not misunderstanding, when ur application runs, your not getting any exception.
Just to cover all possibilities, I'll ask u to post some more code once again...sorry :p :
Please post ur StatusBar property.

I have a windows form, with a data grid on it, that contains information pulled from an xml file. I want to be able to detect if anything in the datagrid is edited, but I do not know what the event is called. Thus, if they add a row, edit a cell, or delete a row, I will set a bool variable (isChanged = true). Any help on what the event is called or how this can be acomplished will be appreciated. Thank you.

you can iterate through the cells and check a property for which ones have changed. It's not an event though, I found I had to have a 'save' button when I did something like that, then checked the cells for changes.

Do you read the contents from the XML file into a DataTable and set that DataTable as the data source for the DataGrid? If so, the DataTable has a RowChanged event that will be useful.

 Hi everybody!
Maybe there is somebody who can give me a bit of help; I am about to give up:
I need to ‘translate’ in C# the function GetOpenFileName to include a FileOpenDlg in a Dlg template containing other components, but I cannot handle in C# the reference to the Dialog template resource and the call back function.
Below is the code:
[ StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet=CharSet.Auto )]
public class OpenFileName
{
public int structSize=0;
public IntPtr dlgOwner= IntPtr.Zero;
public IntPtr hInstance=IntPtr.Zero;
public String filter = null;
public String Customfilter= null;
public int maxCustFilter=0;
public int filterIndex=0;
public String file= null;
public int maxFile = 0;
public String fileTitle= null;
public int maxFileTitle= 0;
public String initialDir= null;
public String title = null;
public int flags=0;
public Int16 fileOffset=0;
public Int16 fileExtension=0;
public String defExt= null;
public IntPtr custData=IntPtr.Zero;
public IntPtr fnHook= IntPtr.Zero;
public OFNHookProc fnHook= IntPtr.Zero;
public String TemplateName;//=null;
}
[ DllImport( "Comdlg32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto )]
public static extern bool GetOpenFileName([ In, Out ] OpenFileName ofn );
……..
…….
private void cmdOpenClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileName ofn=new OpenFileName();
ofn.structSize=Marshal.SizeOf(ofn);
ofn.dlgOwner= this.Handle;
ofn.hInstance=IntPtr.Zero;
ofn.filter="Eseguibili (*.exe)\0*.exe\0Text Files (*.txt;*.doc;*.wri)\0*.txt;*.doc;*.wri\0Tutti (*.*)\0*.*\0\0";;
ofn.Customfilter = null;
ofn.maxCustFilter=0;
ofn.filterIndex=0;
ofn.file=new String(new char[_MaxPath]);
ofn.maxFile=ofn.file.Length;
ofn.fileTitle=new String(new char[_MaxFile]);
ofn.maxFileTitle=ofn.fileTitle.Length;
ofn.initialDir="C:\\";
ofn.title="Apri un file";
ofn.flags= OFN_EXPLORER|OFN_ENABLETEMPLATE|OFN_ENABLEHOOK;
ofn.fileOffset=0;
ofn.fileExtension=0;
ofn.defExt= null;
ofn.custData=IntPtr.Zero;
ofn.fnHook=??????????????????????????;
ofn.TemplateName=????????????????????;
bool risp=GetOpenFileName(ofn);
}
Any pretty good ideas? Many tanks in advance!!

Instead of using P/Invoke, you might read the documentation[^] for the OpenFileDialog component that encapsulates that API and struct. The same is true for the SaveFileDialog.
In .NET, you can set the fnHook to a delegate but you must declare the struct field as a delegate that matches the necessary signature:
struct OPENFILENAME
{
public OfnHookProc lpfnHook;
}
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.SysUInt)]
delegate IntPtr OfnHookProc(IntPtr hdlg,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] int uiMsg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);If you don't actually need to use a hook proc to handle your own dialog you don't need ot set this.
For the template name, it's quite a bit harder. The easiest way is to create a native DLL with the resource template - if you even need one, which is merely to extend the dialog itself, which is another reason for using a hook proc - and set the hInstance field to an IntPtr for the native DLL, which you can get using LoadLibrary or LoadLibraryEx. Set the lpTemplateName field to the name of the resource in that native DLL.
Again, though - unless you actually have to extend the UI for the default Open or Save file dialogs, just use the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog components. That's why they're there and don't require your assembly to be granted a privilege to call unmanaged code.

Hello!
I've been programming in C# for about a month now with a book called Beginning Visual C#.NET (Wrox Press). So yesterday I got to the Events chapter and...
I really need your help!
In this book the author sais and explains that events are used with delegates.
So you kind of use both...
But I can't get it: why are they used with delegates? How do you put them together?
I can undestand events like this (used from a thread nearby...) with no problems:
private void AddButtons()
{
Button B1 = new Button();
B1.Text = "OK";
B1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(8,8);
B1.Click += new System.EventHandler(buttonB1Click);
}
private void buttonB1Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hello");
}
------
I can understand delegates like this (example from my book):
class Class1
{
delegate double processDelegate(double param1, double param2);
static double Multiply(double param1, double param2)
{
return param1 * param2;
}
static double Devide(double param1, double param2)
{
return param1 * param2;
}
///
/// The main entry point for the application.
///
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
processDelegate process;
Console.WriteLine("Enter 2 numbers separated with a comma:");
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int commaPos = input.IndexOf(',');
double param1 = Convert.ToDouble(input.Substring(0, commaPos));
double param2 = Convert.ToDouble(input.Substring(commaPos + 1,
input.Length - commaPos - 1));
Console.WriteLine("M for multiply, D for devide:");
input = Console.ReadLine();
if (input == "M")
process = new processDelegate(Multiply);
else
process = new processDelegate(Devide);
Console.WriteLine("Result {0}", process(param1, param2));
}
}
}
-----------------------
But I CANNOT undestand what do they have to do with each other? Why use them, when I can use events like in the example above? What do delegates do that helps with events?
Please, explain thoroughly in a non-article dummy-undestandble way, as I have read a lot of articles on it today, but still it seems that in all of them it's a given...
Please! Because I really need to move on, but I can't since I cannot undestand
the topic!
If you want, I can kindly 'reward' you with a Gmail account, no probs with that! But please help!
Thanks!

Here's a description of delegates and events:
Events and Delegates on MSDN[^]
Basically, by adding an event handler to an event you subscribe your listener to be informed when the particular event occurs.
Your class is informed by the event source by calling your delegate function when the event occurs.
For the event source class to be able to call your function it has to know what parameters an event handler function expects. That's why delegates have to be declared.
Think of delegates as type safe function pointers.

Damn... maybe I am just hopelessly stupid today (and yesterday) but I still can't get the hang of it... Everything seems to be perfectly clear from your explanation, but somehing is still missing. Sorry  And C# is my first language, so I don't know C++ with function pointers...
Thanks for the reply anyway. Need a Gmail account? Just send me a Email to gbelov@gmail.com and you'll have it!
Anyone else to help a dumb hopeless comedian calling himself a C# programmer?

Ok, lets see if I can explain myseflt:
Basically, an Event needs a delegate of the method its supposed to call when the event fires.
In your example:
private void AddButtons()
{
Button B1 = new Button();
B1.Text = "OK";
B1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(8,8);
B1.Click += new System.EventHandler(buttonB1Click);
}
private void buttonB1Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hello");
}
u are using a delegate although you might not be aware of it. The delegate type is:
public delegate void EventHandler(object sender, System.EventArgs e);
and the instance is pointing at buttonB1Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
if u dont see it too clearly, use intellisense and create a new instance of the delegate:
EventHandler handler=new EventHandler(.....);
Anyway, u will see this more clearly when u try to create ur own Events for your own classes.
