Hi,

yes there is.
The desktop basically is a ListView, once you now the path and names to it (depends on OS),
you can do a lot of P/Invoke to get or set the icon positions.
Getting them is straightforward, setting them is not.

I once did a utility to switch screen resolutions, saving/restoring icon positions and saving/
restoring windows sizes, but never got it completely right. The main problems are:
- every change to an icon position may or may not modify the remaining positions, since the
desktop tries to avoid overlaps
- the size/position of minimized windows seems unavailable.

How to start a form maximized in the right way

Hi, i want to start a form in Maximized-WindowState.

So i found the following possibilities:

#1 Setting the WindowState Property to Maximized in the Designer
-> thats bad because the the form will be showed at Form_Load and that is too early. Frown | :(

#2 Setting the WindowState Property to Maximized in the Form_Load-Event
-> thats bad because i see how the form is resizing at the start. Frown | :(

#3 Setting the WindowState Property to Normal in the Designer and set the Size-Property to the screenbounds
-> thats bad because when i change the WindowState at runtime then there is no different between the WindowStates Normal and Maximized. Frown | :(

So my question ist there a way to start a form maximized without that problems i mentioned ? Sniff | :^)

Call Array Values from one class to another

try the first method and hide your form as load event start and show when going to end

Hello Experts:

I have declared a Integer Array in Class A and now I want to create methods to processed the values in Array like min, max in Class B. but the problem is how can I call the values in int Array of class A into class B. eg:
class Class A
{
public int[] abc;

static void Main(string[] args)
{

int[] abc = { 3, 4, 5, 6, 67, 65, 55,99,77,55,44 ,45 };
Console.WriteLine("the length of array is {0}", abc.Length);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}

Now I want to use the same values of abc[] in class B to create the different functions like min value and max value. Any help will be appreciated. thanks.

Send a reference to the array to the method. Example:

class ClassB {

   public static int GetFirst(int[] data) {
      return data[0];
   }

}

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

You've probably got the foreign keys set up to 'cascade on delete' this means that a delete will roll along the foriegn keys deleting everything to ensure referential integrity is maintained. If you turn this off (Change it to 'no action' on delete) then you won't get this behaviour, instead, the deletes will be blocked unless you delete all references at the same time.

By keeping the foreign keys set to 'cascade on delete' and deleting the primary object, the delete will cascade to all the referencing objects. If you change the foriegn keys to 'no action on delete' you will have to ensure you delete the items in the correct order to maintain referential integrity. Just put the three delete statements in the same query. Make sure you get the order right though.

"your Syntaxt Of Your Language Is Not Correct .
Rwrite your Question By Using English Language !
Thaer Hamael"

first i will say, correct your english, there is no word "Syntaxt", your sentence has full stop problem, no space before full stop and there is no word "Rwrite" too, if you are writing post, only first character of sentence sould capital not every first character.

and after all i will say "shut your mouth" Wink | ;)

Call SHGetSpecialFolderLocation[^] and pass CSILD_DESKTOP[^] to get the desktop folder location. Then call SHChangeNotify[^] passing SHCNE_UPDATEDIR and SHCNF_IDLIST and the IPL for the desktop that was returned from SHGetSpecialFolderLocation.

Ignore that fool. Your English looks fine to me. Smile | :)

thanks, i tried but it didnt work, here is code :

[DllImport("shell32.dll")]
private static extern uint SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(IntPtr hWnd, CSIDL nFolder, out IntPtr Pidl);
[DllImport("shell32.dll")]
private static extern void SHChangeNotify(long wEventId, uint uFlags, IntPtr dwItem1, IntPtr dwItem2);
private void refreshToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    IntPtr tmp_Pidl;
    SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(this.Handle, CSIDL.CSIDL_DESKTOP, out tmp_Pidl);
    SHChangeNotify(0x0018, 0x0000, tmp_Pidl, IntPtr.Zero);
}

i'm not sure with values of SHCNE_UPDATEDIR and SHCNF_IDLIST Hmmm | :|
