Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a content alignment feature inside container controls (Panel, TableLayoutPanel) . e.g. I have several controls in a TableLayoutPanel. Those controls may change their size on runtime. I want to place them into a grid (like html table) one per cell and align them to middle of the cell(horizontally and vertically). Is this possible without writing custom code ? Until now, I figured out only way that to keep them aligned is to dock-Fill them.

Hello,

Have a look at the "Anchor" property of the controls?
Maybe it fits your needs.

All the best,

Martin

It's easy to build a chat application. But a messenger like msn is far more complicated. The client should be in sync with the server. i.e: whenever you get a new message the client should be intimated. Mechanisms like polling in regular interval would be complicated,or rather may not be optimal . I think msn messenger has implemented a tcp channel for that purpose.

The benifit of the class view:

Shows all the classes include in the project.
provides the definition for all the classes used.
Faster reference if you want to go to any part of the class just double click the class name

Overall it is for better understanding of your project!

You can't start to build the complete website straight away. You have to read the book and try some samples steps by steps.. then, if you get some ideas how web application works, you can start the project... You can also participate in opensoure ASP.NET project if you wanna practice ...

Convert Font size

Lucy29-Aug-07 22:25

HI I have created an application that uses the registry.

On the application there are two textboxes and a button. When the form is loaded the first textbox displays a font that has been declared in the registry and the second text box displays the font size, again declared in the registry. The button allows the user to change the font and font size using a FontDialog. When this dialog is opened (by clicking the button), the selected font is the font declared in the registry. I also want the font size that is declared in the registry to be selected in the dialog. The font name works perfectly fine, I am just having trouble with converting the font size.

First of here is my code:

string font;

int size;

FontDialog selectFont = new FontDialog();

font = Convert.ToString(Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegKey_test", "Font", ""));

selectFont.Font = (Font)TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Font)).ConvertFromString(font);

size = Convert.ToInt32(Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegKey_test", "FontSize", ""));

selectFont.Font.Size = (Size)TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Size)).ConvertFrom(size);

if (selectFont.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

Registry.SetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegKey_test", "Font", selectFont.Font.Name.ToString());

TBFont.Text = selectFont.Font.Name.ToString();

Registry.SetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegKey_test", "FontSize", selectFont.Font.Size, RegistryValueKind.DWord);

TBFontSize.Text = selectFont.Font.Size.ToString();

}

I am unsure if I should set the variable size as an integer or a string, and then according to this how is it converted to Font.Size?

I think Size property is readonly. so, try like that..

Example 1

Label1.Font = New Font("Tahoma", 30)

Example 2

<br />
font = Convert.ToString(Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegKey_test", "Font", ""));<br />
<br />
size = Convert.ToInt32(Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegKey_test", "FontSize", ""));<br />
<br />
selectFont.Font = new Font(font,size);

Graph g = new Graph("graph");
g.AddNode("Ellipse");
gViewer1.Graph = g;

here is where i am trying to serialise but it

XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Graph));
XmlTextWriter myWriter = new XmlTextWriter(@"C:\users\dake10\documents\jacob\motors.xml", Encoding.UTF8);
Graph g = new Graph("");
g.AddNode("House");

You can't serialize a Glee graph object using an xmlserializer.As the exception says it doesn't have a parameterless constructor.
If your aim is to draw graph,I think still graphviz is the better choice to GLEE

Hello, this is Sergey

I have a problem with dataGridView:

One of the predefined columnes has type DataGridViewComboBoxColumn with predefined items.

When i'm adding new row

int index = datagrid.Rows.Add();

and after that trying to set default value in DataGridViewComboBox,

DataGridViewCell dgvc = datagrid.Columns[2].CellTemplate;
dgvc.Value = "High";// it has index = 0 in items of column
datagrid.Rows[index].Cells[2] = dgvc;

it throws messages that its incorrect. I've tried in other ways, searching for information, nut i didn't find it

Could you help me to set this shirt default value to combobox and get then it back?

Thanks,
Sergey

Custom Listbox with Only Left Key Enabled

Hi, I need a Listbox with only Left Key Event. All other keys should be ignored.
I've Inherited the Listbox Control and overridden its OnKeyUp(...) (and similar) Methods and provided them with
following Implementation

protected override void OnKeyUp(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if( e.KeyCode == Keys.Left )
{
// My Code
}
else
; // Do Nothing
//No Call to base.OnKeyUp(e) Made Anywhere in this method
}

Still My Custom Listbox Implements its Default Key behaviour and handles all the keys (Up, Down, PageUp, etc...)
Please Advice

Thanks...

Hello,

You have to override OnKeyDown where you check the KeyCode, and also OnKeyPress.
Not calling the base. method will not work in this cases, you will have to set the e.Handled property to true.

public class SpecialListBox : System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
{
    public SpecialListBox()
    {
    }

    protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if(e.KeyCode != Keys.Left)
        {
            e.Handled = true;
        }
        base.OnKeyDown (e);
    }

    protected override void OnKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Handled = true;
        base.OnKeyPress (e);
    }
}

Hope it helps!

All the best,

Martin

Thanks for the Way, Martin...

Actually I wanted to Shift the Focus to some other control whenever the user pressed Left on My CustomListBox. So all I did was...

protected override void OnKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if( e.KeyCode == Keys.Left )
{
MyControl.Focus(); // Do What I Want to For Left Key Press
e.Handled = true;
return;
}
else // for Other Keys do your Default Handling
base.OnKeyUp(e);
}
protected override void OnKeyPress(System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
base.OnKeyPress (e);
}
