double-buffering improves the visual experience, it does not really change the execution speed.

The OP was talking about zoom and scrolling features. I decided that double-buffering technique could greatly improve the visual experience when using these features.

That is a lot of rectangles, are you by any chance using them to represent a grid? If so then you could try using lines to draw the grid, this would reduce the number of draws to ~900. If not a grid, then what needs so many rectangles?

Perhaps you can draw it in a separate thread and pass the resulting picture back to be used as a background for the Window?

Hi for all
im now tring to redirect my project to PHP page from C# APP
and i used these lines (code):
// prepare the web page we will be asking for
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)
WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/d.php");

// execute the request
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)
request.GetResponse();

that executed my program without showing me a PHP page in my browser

and i used these lines also as my code

string targetURL = @"http://localhost/MyPage.php";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(targetURL);

and that run true but i prefer the first method to do that
So any help

Thanks in advance

Hi,

the first method will not open a browser, because you are doing a http-request. This means you call the site like a browser. The second call opens the browser because the operating system will open the browser to handle the command (in this case an url) you passed.

For displaying the php-page within your app you could use the webbrowser-control.

You should look at using Internationalization. This will greatly cut down the work you need to do.

Does anyone know how to get an thumbnail of an Form thats Minimized Confused | :confused:

This code works ok when the form is normal or maximum size, but not when its minimized, or anything in front of it.

private Bitmap GetFormImage(Form formToCapture)
{
    Bitmap formImage = null;
    using (Graphics g = formToCapture.CreateGraphics())
    {
        formImage = new Bitmap(formToCapture.Size.Width, formToCapture.Size.Height, g);
        using (Graphics mg = Graphics.FromImage(formImage))
        {
            IntPtr dc1 = g.GetHdc();
            IntPtr dc2 = mg.GetHdc();
            BitBlt(dc2, 0, 0, formToCapture.ClientRectangle.Width, formToCapture.ClientRectangle.Height, dc1, 0, 0, 13369376);
            g.ReleaseHdc(dc1);
            mg.ReleaseHdc(dc2);
        }
    }
    return formImage;
}

Appreciate the help... Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

You could try showing the form, get the image, and then minimize it again

The Form class, like all Control descendants has a ToBitmap method, I don't know if you might be able to make use of that.

I hesitate to expand on my answer, since to me a Minimized Form has no graphical representation to put in an image. When minimized a Form is only shown in the TaskBar, and then only if the appropriate properties are set.

You are absolutly correct on this, the form has not graphical representation, but how does M$ do it, when you look at vista or win7 thay can make an thumbnail of an window thats minimized... Thanks for the reply...

If I knew that, I'd probably be working for them. Smile | :)

Unfortunately I don't. Frown | :(

However, I have just found this[^], which refers to a SetIconicThumbnail method, which sounds, sort of, like it might be what you need.

Good Luck! Smile | :)

Firstly, what sort of grid?
1) A Windows Forms DataGrid?
2) A Windows Forms DataGridView.
3) A Web Forms DataGrid.

If either of the first two, and they are the only two items of data that you want in your DataGrid, it seems to me that you might be better using a data bound CheckedListBox.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
