Maybe this article[^] can be of some help.

Thanks again, Daniel.
I made BitBlt work but it is not much faster than the old version with DrawImage().
Are there any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.

How fast do you need to go? 5000x4000 pixels == 5000x4000x4 bytes ~~ 76MB
This should take a while to transfer over any bus...
Besides that, do you really have a card/monitor that is able to display such a beast?

Hi Daniel,

sorry, I've been on vacation for a while.
No, my monitor/ graphics card won't display the whole Image, that's why i started to think about resizing it to a moderate size.
Do you know, how I can do it in Direct Draw? I'm right now trying to figure out how fast it would be with Direct Draw (Managed DirectX 9.0).

I am wanting to have the current selected row highlighted. I have added a mouse click the datagrid for:

dataGrid1.Select(dataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber);

and this is setting the row if I click on the grid, but if I click in a cell, the cell is going into edit mode and the row is not highlighted. I am trying to create a read only grid similar to a listview and then use an edit button or double click to show an edit form.

First of all: Please don't post two question with (nearly) the same topic.

Now to your question:
It is possible but you'll have to invest a bit of work. Create a class and inherit from DataGridTextBoxColumn. Override the Edit function and do nothing (do not call the base implementation). This will prevent the TextBox being shown and the Click event will reach the grid. If you also have a boolean column you will have to do the same with the DataGridCheckBoxColumn.

Finally you will have to make your own DataGridTableStyle so that the grid uses your new classes.

If you are using the class DataGridTextBoxColumn to create the columns of your datagrid then you can access the TextBox that receives the events from the DataGridTextBoxColumn to start editing text. You probably need to add a handler for the VisibleChanged event of the TextBox and if the state just became visible then send a escape keystroke and select the row instead, and finally, you can popup your form. Note that you can set both, the TextBox and the DataColumn to Readonly to prevent changes.
Hope that helps.

I have set the dataGrid.ReadOnly = True and this is preventing the values in the cells from being changed. However,is there also a setting to prevent the cell from going into edit mode when the cell is clicked?

Hello All,

I am using textwriter to create a text document and writing information to it. I want to know if there is a way to format the text that I concatanate into the text that I send to the text document.

for instance: dr.writeline("Order Number" + (new ListItem(pr["ord_num"].ToString()));

I want to know if there is a way to make the text "Order Number" Bold so that it will stand out as a column.

That depends on what you use to view the text. There is no formatting of that kind for plain text.

b { font-weight: normal; }

I am using a TextWriter to create a text document that I am passing the information into. It would be nice to create a word document or excel document. I have not been able to find any information on creating those types of documents.

A simple TextWriter won't do what you want.
Have a look here. It's a library which should help you to generate a word document.

Another possibility would be to create a RTF document. Use the search function here on CodeProject. You should find at least one article about it.

If you write a word document, or a rich text document, or even a HTML document, you can make the text bold. HTML is probably easiest. A .txt file can't do that, it's plain text.

A friend of mine point out to me to do it as an HTML, that is working much better than the text document.

Thanks to all

hi there,

i´m figuring out what´s the best way to check network services with c#?
i want to check if RDP and ICA Services are up on my servers. i tried
to just open a TcpClient and if it throws an exception on connect() i
guessed it´s unavailable. But thos didn´t work for me. it always throwed
the exception though the service was online. increasing timeout-values
didn´t work either.
i also tried connecting via System.Net.Socket but i gut the same results.
any ideas how i can check network services with c#?
best regards from .at

i am a newbie to c# and have a problem to which i have found no solution. in my search for controls that look like the ones in win xp and office 2003 i came across this website http://www.steepvalley.net/ that provides such controls for free. i immidiately downloaded the setup files to use in vs .net

however i am unable to use the controls. i tried to add com components to the toolbox however it gives an error that the dll is not a com component and thus cannot be added to the toolbox. these controls are really cool (from the pictures provided) and i would really like to use them...but sadly have no idea how. any help would be much appreciated.

It seems those controls are not COM controls then, they are .NET controls. Try adding them to the toolbox manually by browsing for it.

Also note that in .NET framework version 2.0, Windows Forms has a complete set of menus and toolstrips that come with customizable looks, including the Office 2003 look.

I have a text box and a list box. I want to be able to add whatever data a user types into the text box to the listbox items when he/she clicks the enter key on the keyboard. Can anyone help me out with ideas or sample code
?
Thank you.

Nana

this.textBox1.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.textBox1_KeyDown);

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter )
{
this.listBox1.Items.Add(this.textBox1.Text );
}
}

Thank you. But how and where do i fire this event. Please

You need not do anything to fire. When you press Enter key it will automatically get fired.
