Imagelist transparency bug

You create an event handler for the paint event of the element where you want them drawn. Invalidate the element to cause it to be redrawn.

hi,
i have a problem.i'm usin Component one TrueDbGrid. Also i have dragged a dateTimePicker on it..as per the samples which Component One had, i wrote the code for a particular column to be of type "dateTimpicker"..ther code comes in RowColChange event of the trueDbGrid...
private void c1TrueDBGrid1_RowColChange(object sender, C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.RowColChangeEventArgs e)
{
// position the datetime picker on the "BirthDate" column only
C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.C1DataColumn col = this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Splits[0].DisplayColumns[this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Col].DataColumn;
if( col.DataField == "BirthDate" )
{
// get the area of the cell
Rectangle r = this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Splits[0].GetCellBounds(this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Row, this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Col);
// change to screen coordiantes
r = this.c1TrueDBGrid1.RectangleToScreen(r);
// map the screen coordinates to the forms client coordinates
this.dateTimePicker1.Location = this.RectangleToClient(r).Location;
// size it to fit inside the cell
this.dateTimePicker1.Size = r.Size;
// default the dateTimePicker to the date in the cell
this._bIgnoreChange = true;
this.dateTimePicker1.Text = col.CellText(this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Row);
this._bIgnoreChange = false;
// display it
this.dateTimePicker1.Visible = true;
}
else
this.dateTimePicker1.Visible = false;
}

so here if the col == "BirthDate", then tat field where i've clicked, becomes of dateTimPicker...but my problem is the dateTimepicker is visible but it doesn't get the correct size and location...y this happens i dont understand...

plz..help me..m stuck...

System.IO.Directory and System.IO.DirectoryInfo have methods for returning files and subdirectories (GetDirectories(), GetFiles() etc.) which you can use for this.

Are you looking for ZIP files just in the immediate subdirectories, or in all subdirectories of subdirectories of subdirectories etc?

It would be helpful if you informed us about the reason for your inability to convert the string.

If the string contains anything that can be converted to an int, it's easy:

myInt = Convert.ToInt32(myString)

Hello

May be you need to try this:
int.Parse( str )

or this:
Convert.ToInt32( str )

Hi all,

I have a richtextbox and a vertical scrollbar on the form

now when i enter text into the richtextbox after it exceeds it's height

the scrollbar for the richtext is shown and we can scroll the contents of the

richtext,

Now i want to hide this scrollbar and want the contents to be scrolled

using the vertical scrollbar that i have put on the form.

Any code or hint will be helpful

Thanks and Regards,

Pramod

set your scrollbars to 'none' and use the SendMessage API call to control the scrolling

e.g.,

<br />
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;<br />
<br />
private const int WM_SCROLL = 276; // Horizontal scroll<br />
private const int WM_VSCROLL = 277; // Vertical scroll<br />
private const int SB_LINEUP = 0; // Scrolls one line up<br />
private const int SB_LINELEFT = 0;// Scrolls one cell left<br />
private const int SB_LINEDOWN = 1; // Scrolls one line down<br />
private const int SB_LINERIGHT = 1;// Scrolls one cell right<br />
private const int SB_PAGEUP = 2; // Scrolls one page up<br />
private const int SB_PAGELEFT = 2;// Scrolls one page left<br />
private const int SB_PAGEDOWN = 3; // Scrolls one page down<br />
private const int SB_PAGERIGTH = 3; // Scrolls one page right<br />
private const int SB_PAGETOP = 6; // Scrolls to the upper left<br />
private const int SB_LEFT = 6; // Scrolls to the left<br />
private const int SB_PAGEBOTTOM = 7; // Scrolls to the upper right<br />
private const int SB_RIGHT = 7; // Scrolls to the right<br />
private const int SB_ENDSCROLL = 8; // Ends scroll<br />
<br />
[DllImport("user32.dll",CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]<br />
private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int wMsg,IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);<br />

then call SendMessage() and the way you want to scroll Smile | :)

hope that helps

Override the WndProc of your RichTextBox and catch the scrollin messages there.

Re: getting folder size from windows

14-Oct-05 18:19

hi to all, Smile | :)

i am writing an app that lets users browse a folder. so they can perform several file/folder tasks on that folder and its subfolder/file.

i would like to be able to display teh folder stats when they open the top level folder.
at the moment, i am using directoryinfo and fileinfo and recursivley iterating the entire structure from the top level folder down, jsut to get the filesize.

is there a way to grab this from windows any quicker than this, cause if they select a drive ... well u know whats going to happen. i am also only building the tree structure that reflects the filesystem to a certain depth until they click to that depth i dont go any further.

if there is no other way to get folder size i might try creating the entire tree structure in the same recursive loop and see if the overhead is too much

any ideas pls??

regards,
g00fy

Re: getting folder size from windows

The total size of the contents of a folder is not stored anywhere. If you can get that information from the system, it will be doing exactly what you are doing yourself, recursively looping through every subfolder to sum up the file sizes.

Re: getting folder size from windows

thans for the reply,

i thought that after i posted, as i tried it on a folder and watched the count go up.

i just optimised my recursion and its working quite well now, it seems to beat the windows effort for the same folder on the same machine and i'm generating the tree for the structure as well. maybe windows is doing some indexing on the first size check as the next time you do it, it is faster.

thanx again,
