Re: Convert PDF to HTML, or control Acrobat to save as HTML

What I mean is that I can't be the only person wanting to do this. I'm just surprised that some random person (Not necessarily MS or Adobe) has not created a class or something to automate Acrobat.

I'm relatively new to C# so i'm not really sure how to go about it, or i'd take a stab at it myself.

Creating a class to do whatever using the Office PIA's was easy, but without a handy PIA for Adobe, i'm lost...

Many moons ago, when I had no programming tools bar a copy of VBA hosted in Excel I had a similar quandry. With no budget to speak of, the fools I worked for wanted to do exactly the same...

...What I ended up doing was a whole bunch of crappy/hacky things such as using SendKeys to control Acrobat. It's a cruddy solution, but it works. After a fashion. I just had to put a big warning in place that said "DO NOT TOUCH THE KEYBOARD OR MOUSE WHILST THIS PROGRAM IS RUNNING". As far as I know, some sap still spends most of his days looking at that warning.

Me: Can you see the "up" arrow?
User:Errr...ummm....no.
Me: Can you see an arrow that points upwards?
User: Oh yes, I see it now!

Hard to answer. I mean, you're basically asking for an article, not a forum reply. What do you know already ? Do you know SQL ? Do you intend to write a professional application, or just use the CRUD stuff that can be built into the presentation layer ? You really should buy a book for this anyhow, but if you're going to get any reply at all, you need to be more specific. Explaining why the tons of hits google would give you have not helped, would be a bonus.

I coded class to control the COM port: clsRS232.cs

I coded a class named clsSprintCommand.cs which inherits the clsRS232.cs. When I create the clsSprintCommand.cs, it creates the clsRS232.cs. Good! Big Grin | :-D

I coded a class named clsSprintFormat.cs which inherits the clsSprintCommand.cs. I override some methods. When I create the clsSprintFormat.cs, it creates the clsSprintCommand.cs that, in turn, creates the clsRS232.cs. I need to bypass the latter creation: clsRS232.cs when I'm working with clsSprintFormat.cs. How? Confused | :confused:

Because Form1.cs has an object for clsSprintCommand.cs, I supposed to override its methods under the class clsSprintFormat.cs. Otherwise I have to switch between them accoding the porpuse of Form1.cs. That is to add an if-clause under each Form1.cs 's button. Sniff | :^)

The problem is when I create the clsSprintFormat.cs. In fact It creates clsSprintCommand.cs that in turn creates clsRS232.cs. I don't want creating clsRS232.cs.

How can declare a variable that works both for clsSprintCommand.cs and clsSprintFormat.cs according who calls Form1.cs: MDI form or not.

Impossible. Your best bet is to create methods in the top class that hide the methods you don't want to call in the absolute base class.

This will be tough to implement unless you are well versed with Regular Expressions. System.NET comes with a class named WebClient. Using this you can download the processed HTML of any websites by specifying URL. First you have to download the page which contains image. Now using a regular expression, parse all text and look for images. Find all images and give request to that to download it.

Drag and Drop More Questions

C# is a great language but I am a little lost in the Visual Studio...

How can I enable dragging from the Tree component and the List box component?

The TextBox component has an AllowDrop and RichText has EnableAutoDragDrop... I wish there were consitent properties for this.

I want to be able to drag items from either a tree or a list box and drop them onto either a text box or a Rich Edit box.

I have found a few articles but none that answer this specific qustion.

Thanks

I have resource files in different languages created by VCS 2005 Express.
I want to use those files to translate reports at runtime.

I have text to be translated as string.

I think I need to search resource file for this string id.
After that I need to return translated string from other resouce file ?

Is this best idea?
Where to find sample code which implements this ?
How to allow application users to add translations at runtime ?

Localize Combo Box Dropdown

Student119-Oct-07 21:36

9-Oct-07 21:36

Hi,

I am hoping someone can help me...

I have a combo box dropdown style on a form that I want to localise.
I am trying to find the code to load the resource file.

For instance the code for a label called Component List is:
this.label1.Text = res.GetString("Component List");

How do I do this for a combo box with a collection:
blue
red
yellow

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance Smile | :)

Typically, you would just store each item as a separate resource string and load it like so:

this.comboBox1.Items.AddRange(new object[] {
    resources.GetString("comboBox1.Items"),
    resources.GetString("comboBox1.Items1"),
    resources.GetString("comboBox1.Items2")});

You could save them as a single string with a known separator (for example the '|' char). After getting the string you could use String.Split to get the individual entries. Finally, you would loop over the string array returned from #1 and add them to the Combo box. This all assumes that '|' will never appear in the individual entries.

Take care,
Tom

Thanks Tom for your help.
As I am very new to C#.NET and localization I am a little unsure of what to do next.

Would the above code go in the Form (code page) that has the combo box with the label code, etc?

I also haven't used "'|' char" either so I wouldn't know where to begin here.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I'd recommend reading this[^]. Basically, you can use the VS designer to set the strings for you. The code I pasted earlier was generated by VS. You simply add the items to the ComboBox and VS puts them in the resource file for the current language (as described in the link).

For the "|" char, I was saying you could put all the items in a single resource string. If you go this route then you can't use the VS Form designer. The idea is you would create a string resource with a value of "One|Two|Three". Then you could split the string and add them to the ComboBox like so (this code is off the top of my head so it may not be 100% correct):

String[] parts = resources.GetString("comboBox1.Items").Split(new Char[] {'|'});
foreach (String part in parts)
    this.comboBox.Items.Add(part);

Then to localize you just have to update that one resource (e.g. "Uno|Dos|Tres").

Take care,
Tom

Thanks again Tom for your help Smile | :)

I used the VS designer to add the strings to the combox box using "collection" under the combo box properties. This is the code it created under the form's designer.

// comboBox1
//
this.comboBox1.FormattingEnabled = true;
this.comboBox1.Items.AddRange(new object[] {
"Intense",
"Santa Cruz"});
this.comboBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 25);
this.comboBox1.Name = "comboBox1";
this.comboBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(174, 21);
this.comboBox1.TabIndex = 1;
//

I am now trying to work out the code for the load resource file, which is added to the form's code... this is what I am confused with... Confused | :confused:

Again your help is greatly appreciated... Smile | :)
