This isn't the forum for that (it's a not a C#/.NET problem). Ask in either the Operating Systems directory or visit the Microsoft newsgroups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/[^].

I have a request from a client who wishes to use either the Enter Key or the Arrow Key, as well as the Tab key, to move from field to field in a Windows Form.
Is it possible?

Yes. Look into KeyPreview, OnKeyPress, and TabIndex.
KeyPreview instructs the framework to send you the keys pressed on the form. OnKeyPress will allow you to see what key is pressed. TabIndex will help you determine which control to give focus to.

Instead of walking the tab indexes yourself, just use the Control.GetNextControl method like so in your Form:
if (ActiveControl != null)
ActiveControl.GetNextControl(ActiveControl, true); Use can pass false to the second param to go backward. You should do this when the shift key is down.

We can use these methods,such as ZeroMemory() and memcpy() in VC++ to manage memory,so what about those matters in C#?
Thanks!
|
|
|
|

Since C# runs in a MANAGED execution environment, these functions are pretty much useless. If you create a new array, the memory is automatically zero'd out. Copying memory is not exactly a feasible operation because of the nature of how objects can be stored in memory. It's always better to use the objects Copy() or Clone() methods, if they support it.
There are always ways to duplicate the functionality to you need in C# other than using the shortcuts these functions provide to C++.

i am using a treelistview (found here at codeproject) that is populated with potentially hundreds of items (test cases). on start my app will fill the tree with all the test cases and i give the option to reset the tree to inital state, which essentially just reloads again all the test cases to initial state. the problem is when these test cases are all loaded into the tree and all the initial subitems are reset, it's so slow you can watch the tree fill from the top to the bottom with a lot of flickering at the same time. my question is do i need to do double buffering? i don't know how hard double buffering is, but i thought maybe it would be easier just to disable painting while the tree is being filled and have it repaint everything when it's all done. that way i may be able to avoid all the panting and flickering while the tree is loading. it's ok for the user to have to wait a sec for the tree to load, so as long as they don't have to actually watch it load and all the flickering. is there a way to do this?
thanks!

In the normal TreeView class, you'd just call it's .BeginUpdate() and .EndUpdate() methods around the code where your clearing the date from the TreeView. I have no idea if the TreeListView your using exposes such methods. Double-buffering will NOT help your situation, simply because the TreeListView is redrawing itself after it removes/adds a node from/to the Tree.

Inside a tabpage I have a treeview docked to the left hand side from which the users drags treenodes onto a panel on the right. If the tree view is showing the vertical scrollbar then when dragging over the scrollbar slowly the drag and drap is being automatically cancelled
why ?
All help gratefully accepted
Thanks in advance

hi, i need to save my GDI+ drawing and print them. for my save function i tried this but it saves as blank:
<br />
bt = new Bitmap (800,600);<br />
myGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(bt);<br />
<br />
private void saveImages()<br />
{<br />
SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();<br />
saveFileDialog1.Title ="Save File";<br />
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "JPEG Images (*.jpg,*.jpeg)|*.jpg;*.jpeg|Gif Images (*.gif)|*.gif|Bitmaps (*.bmp)|*.bmp";<br />
if(bt != null)<br />
{<br />
if ((saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK))<br />
{<br />
string strFileName = saveFileDialog1.FileName;<br />
bt.Save(strFileName ,ImageFormat.Bmp);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}
why is this so. and hw do i go about doing the print function?

Why would you expect there to be anything in your bitmap? You aren't drawing anything. If you think you are, then be sure to post all relevent code.
To print images, you use the System.Drawing.Printing namespace members, like PrintDocument. This will give you a Graphics object that you can use to draw your image (like Graphics.DrawImage) to the print device.

The first error that I noticed right away: never store your Graphics object. You either use the one passed to you in the PaintEventArgs from your OnPaint override, or create one for your control using Control.CreateGraphics (if you want a compatible bitmap on which to draw; having a compatible bitmap means the measurement units are the same, the scaling factors, etc., as the control itself). If you create a Graphics object for a Bitmap, at least use a bitmap that is the same size as the control.
In addition to not storing the Graphics, you shouldn't even store the Bitmap (factors can change; if the user changes the screen resolution or DPI settings, for example, your bitmap may not look right because GDI+ will now draw differently), and always dispose of objects like Graphics and Bitmap to make sure their native, unmanaged resources are freed immediately (they're unmanaged because the GC doesn't know about them and won't free them automatically like it does for managed objects). If not, that memory may remain allocated for some time until the GC gets around to finalizing (destroying) the object; and the only reason the native resources are freed is because the classes follow the disposable pattern (the finalizer disposes only unmanaged objects, while the IDisposable implementation disposes both unmanaged and managed objects immediately).
The code you should be using would be similar to the following:
class Graph : Form
{
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
DrawImage(e.Graphics);
}
private void DrawImage(Graphics g)
{
}
public Bitmap ReturnImage()
{
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(Width, Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp))
DrawImage(g);
return bmp;
}
void SaveDrawing()
{
using (SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog())
{
if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
using (Bitmap bmp = ReturnImage())
bmp.Save(dialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Bmp);
}
}
}

hi, i've got this graph drawn using GDI+. now i need to draw a vertical line across this graph. when i click a button, it moves this vertical line horitontally from left to right of the graph. when this happens, the line wiil read each points of the line graph drawn. any idea anyone??
Chris

Are you trying to create a piece of code for drawing a math function?? The moving line is supposed to tell the user the location of the intersects??
If so the best approach is to calculate the point using the function to make sure its accurate.

hi, i've drew this small rectangle using GDI+. i've got button1 and button2. both this button will display the same rectangle when clicked. When i click button1, it displays my rectangle without a problem. however, when i clicked button2, it displays my rectangle but at a differenct position. i set its myGraphics.TranslateTransform(0,0) but it's not working. why is this so?

Since a rectangle is basically a Point and a Size, the fact that it's drawn in a different location means it's not the same rectangle. The answer is in your code, but since you didn't post any it's pretty much impossible to say where it is going wrong.

here are the codes..
<br />
private void DrawSmallRect(Graphics myGraphics)<br />
{<br />
Rectangle myRect1 = new Rectangle (140,200,350,250)<br />
LinearGradientBrush lBrush1 = new LinearGradientBrush( myRect1,<br />
Color.LightGray,<br />
Color.White,<br />
LinearGradientMode.Vertical );<br />
<br />
myGraphics.FillRectangle (lBrush1,myRect1);<br />
}<br />
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
temp1 = 1;<br />
}<br />
private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
temp2 = 1;<br />
}<br />
<br />
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)<br />
{ <br />
if(temp1 == 1)<br />
{<br />
DrawSmallRect(e.Graphics);<br />
}<br />
if(temp2 == 1)<br />
{<br />
DrawSmallRect(e.Graphics);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
i'm trying to draw the same rectangle. i wanna see if it draws onto the same position. Thanks<br />
