Hi,
the current state of the Form is available as Form.WindowState
the relevant event would be Form.Resize
I trust all details are available in the documentation.

You want to register a COM dll ? Why ? You'd use process.start to call regsvr32, I suppose.

Hey guys...
as you may or may not know im busy developing a couple of controls that do quite a bit of GDI drawing... Each control consists of 2 panels, on one it draws a clock, and data behind it in the form of pies(graphics.FillPie();) and lines on top of the pies. or in other cases a pie sweeping left and right in between two lines all this talk about pie is making me hungry!!!
anyway, the 2nd panel has some maskedTextBoxes, comboBoxes ect and behind it i draw a pretty elaborate time line.
lets talk about he 1st panel...
in its Paint handler i split the drawing up into two methods, drawData() and drawClock() like so...
private void clockPanel_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
drawData(e.Graphics, clockPanel.ClientRectangle);
drawClock(e.Graphics, clockPanel.ClientRectangle);
}
as you can see i send the graphics object to these methods to draw with so here comes the question...
when im sending the grapics object like above does that make a copy of it or just send a reference to the original graphics object?
the reason im asking is im not sure where would it be best to dispose of it... should i dispose within clockPanel_Paint IE after drawData() and drawClock() OR should i dispose at within drawData() and drawClock() after they finished their drawing? or possibly both?
thanx

It passes references, not copies.
The general rule of thumb is:
If you create a disposable object with new, its up to you to dispose it, or you can just wait for the GC to do it.

okay, so since i didnt explicitly create this graphics object like <coed>Grapics blah = this.CreateGraphics(); i dont have to worry about disposing it?

That is correct There might be few exceptions, but I wouldnt lose sleep over it, just let the GC handle them

If you were to dispose of this graphics object, I am sure the app would blow up. It's being passed to you, what passes it, needs to deal with it.
NEVER rely on GC for GDI objects you create, that's a good way to kill your app

oooh that sounds like it could be fun. maybe even useful as an "undocumented feature" to "take care" of difficult end users 
Christian Graus wrote: NEVER rely on GC for GDI objects you create
yeah, the reason for the question is i remembered reading some ware here on CP that its important to dispose of graphics objects... but i cant remember whether the author was using the OnPaint's grapics object or a new'ed one.
thanx for your insight

Glad to help. The idea that GC means you don't have to worry about resources is easy to get from the literature, and it's very wrong.

agreed, which is exactly why i asked the question. the one control(the one with a pie sweeping in between two lines) redraws as fast as it possibly can(im assuming this because i cant see a visible change of the speed when the timer is on 100 or on 1ms)
i was thinking that if there is a resource problem i might not even realize it with my 3Ghz & 2gig ram dev pc where as a users 1.5ghz & 512mb ram might crash or be very slow and i wouldnt know why...

It's passed as reference, and you shouldn't dispose it at all.
Only dispose Graphics objects that you create yourself (e.g. with a call to CreateGraphics()); the Graphics object in the Paint event is created by .NET and will be disposed by .NET after all event handlers are finished.

Hi! I want to know if is possible to select just the date from the DateTimePicker, I don't want the time, just the date, any help? Thx
|
|
|
|
|
dateTimePicker1.Value.Date returns a DateTime with just the date value - the time is set to 00:00:00. That's the closest you can get unless you create your own Date class.

thx...but I solved other way, I changed the format of the DateTimePicker to custom and then I declare in the customFormat field 'dd-MM-yyyy' and it works fine. But thx for the help anyway, have a nice day
|
|
|
|
|
That controls the display, the underlying DateTime may still have other values for the time-of-day.
And please use an ISO 8601 format: yyyy-MM-dd

I wrote code to access structre from C# .net where structure is in C dll .here are the two files .When i build i get the error message saying that "Cannot take the address of, get the size of, or declare a pointer to a managed type ('StructureExample.Program.Detail')"
------------------------- StrcutreDisplay.dll---------------------------------
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<malloc.h>
#include<string.h>
extern "C"
{
typedef struct
{
char *fname;
char *lname;
char abc[5];
}Detail;
__declspec(dllexport) Detail * Disp()
{
Detail *ptr=(Detail *)malloc(sizeof(Detail));
ptr->fname = (char*)malloc(50);
memset(ptr->fname, 0x00, 50);
ptr->lname = (char*)malloc(50);
memset(ptr->lname, 0x00, 50);
memset(ptr->abc, 0x00, 5);
strcpy(ptr->fname, "larson");
strcpy(ptr->lname, "scolari");
strcpy(ptr->abc, "ABC");
return ptr;
}
}
----------------------------StructureExample---------------------------------
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace StructureExample
{
class Program
{
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
public struct Detail
{ // [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]
public unsafe sbyte* fname;
public unsafe sbyte* lname;
public char[] arr;
}
// strucure DLL
[DllImport("StructureDisplay.dll")]
public static unsafe extern Detail * Disp();//here i get error
static void Main(string[] args)
{
unsafe
{
Detail * var = Disp();
string a = new string(var->fname);
string b = new string(var->lname);
string e = new string(var->abc);
}
Console.WriteLine("hello world");
Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);
Console.WriteLine(e);
Console.Read();
}
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to solve this problem?can anyone help me out?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thats wrong. It is not needed.
Also public char[] arr; will need some fixed size attribute. Look at System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAsAttribute.

|

I changed my declaration of array to
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, SizeConst=5)] char[] abc;
but still its giving me an error.
Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance.

What does sizeof(struct Detail) give you in C? Use that to figure out the layout.
