I have a gui app which runs a long process on a worker thread. When the thread starts the long running process fires an event which is picked up by the gui thread and sets the Cursor.Current to the WaitCursor - when the long process has finished it fires another event and Cursor.Current is set to the default cursor. Unfortunately the cursor never becomes the WaitCursor - I can test the Cursor.Current.ToString() and it says it's the WaitCursor - but it isn't, just the default cursor.
Why is that?

I tried doing that - it didn't do anything other than mess up the threads.
Thanks for your reply though

If your GUI is truely idle, then you wouldn;t have to call DoEvents at all. But if you're GUI is doing something, like blocking while your waiting for a thread to complete, then DoEvents can do strange things. It sounds like you haven't done something correctly, but without further information and code samples, it's impossible to tell you what that is.

I HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM
i am havig a list view and i dynamically tried to cange the cursor to waiting cursor, but it does not work.
then i tried changing the cursor from the property of the list view but it does not work either.

Are you sure the event is on the GUI thread? You might want to check using InvokeRequired property; if an invoke is required, that would explain why the cursor setting doesn't seem to be working.

Interesting. On my machine that doesnt happen 
Try to handle the KeyDown event of the textbox and alter the event arguments:
private void richTextBox1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
|
|
|
|
|
that did it...!
But can you tell me what the "e.Handled = true" event do...?
Thanks alot...!

Its relatively simple:
The KeyDown events tells the consumer of the event that a key is being pressed. This event is raised before the underlying control actually reacts on the key. If you set e.Handled to true this will tell the control not to react at all (its nearly as the key would never have been pressed).
|

|
|
okay... that is really simple...!
thanks!

Hi,
My requirement is to do a file copy (upload) from my machine to a remote machine (Mapped Drive) both windows and at the same time I want the file copying logic should completely reside on my machine, I donot require peer2peer.
Is their any way to do that, help kindly appreciated.
The Phantom.

You can use two FileStreams. One for reading from the source file and the second for writing to the mapped drive.
Have a look at System.IO.File.OpenRead and System.IO.File.Create for getting the streams.

Hi,
I have five textboxes, where each of them defined as txtControl1 to txtControl5.
Now I am running a loop to populate these textboxes with some text like this
for (i=1; i<6; i++)
{
txtControl+i.Text = "Hello World" ;
}
Now when I am compiling, I am getting error "unable to find txtControl", with error message its clear the above line is unable to contact the control with the value of i.
Is anyone know how to do that 
The Phantom.

This kind of loop can only be made if you store your textboxes previously in an ArrayList or normal array:
private TextBox[] myTextBoxes;
myTextBoxes = new TextBox[] { txtControl1, txtControl2, txtControl3, txtControl4, txtControl5, txtControl6 };
for (i=1; i<6; i++)
{
myTextBoxes[i].Text = "Hello World" ;
}

You will not be able to convert i (which is int variable) to first a string variable, and then a string variable to a textbox.
Better way to do so is to declare an ArrayList (say called arrayTextBoxes).
Then, initialize this ArrayList in the constructor of the form on which the textboxes are placed. You can declare the initial capacity of this ArrayList (which defaults to 16).
Thereafter, (in the constructor of the form itself) populate the ArrayList with the instances of the 5 textboxes being used by you, by using the Add or AddRange method.
Now you are ready to use the members (i.e., the textboxes)of the ArrayList in your code as, for example,-
for (i=0; i<5; i++)
{
//here the arrayList is 0-based, so use i = 0 onwards
((TextBox) arrayTextBoxes[i]).Text = "Hello World" ;
//arrayTextBoxes is the aforesaid ArrayList instance
}
In the aforesaid example, arrayTextBoxes[0] will represent the textbox1, and so on.
