That seems unnecessary, as does the casting to int.

If you want to do it that way, just use if ( ( c >= 'A' ...

Do you want to have only alphabetic characters? Or do you also want digits and symbols too?

I would check for characters between ' ' (SPACE) and '~' (TILDE).

You may also be able to use a Regular Expression to remove the characters you don't want, but I've never done it that way.

How to know the proxy connections of the internet explorer in c#

How to know the proxy server details, to which the IE is connected to, and how to catch the text before it displays on IE for a specific url?

can we do this using a BHO?

How can I know the proxy details to which IE is connected on my PC?

Can't I get all these things through c# programming at runtime?

How can I know the text/data/header that the IE is getting from Proxy at runtime through c#?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how will I go about checking database connectivity using C#? I have an application that I want to enable users to click on a button and then it will check if the app can connect to the database.

The database is SQL 2005 Express and I am using Visual Studio 2008 with .NET 3.5.

You can use the 'State' property of the SQLConnection class to check the connection status. Check the link below.

Hi,

I am completely new to linux and want to know the exact process of doing it and the correct download link for mono develop used to run in Linux(Fedora 6)or Red Hat Linux.The requirement is very urgent, otherwise I need to learn java to do it.

Hi I'm pretty new to programming in C.

I've found the ribbon code here Ribbon Panel[^] and I can get it to work and modify the ribbon/panel as I want.

(I am fairly new) but what I cannot work out though is how I can get it to open the new window in the lower section. So going off the picture provided with the code at the top of the page say I click on SETTINGS then I want it to display the SETTINGS information below, and then if I click on LOG to display the log information below the ribbon.

What would I need to do to get this as a end result? Even if I can be pointed in the correct direction for what I should be doing would be great.

Thanks heaps in advance Smile | :)

P.S... Great site!

Yeah, I agree with benjymous. Although, I created a similar project for a client a few months back and I used Panels for displaying information relating to separate buttons on the Custom tool strip. Maybe that'd work? But I'm not sure. Your best bet would be to ask the guy on that page you provided.

Updating bound DataSource does not update ComboBox Items.

richmcc16-Jul-09 16:34

I am binding a <list> to a ComboBox. Once an Item is chosen I want it to be marked so the next time the list is displayed the user can see that the item was previously selected. I update the item in the datasource and even rebind the datasource. However, the changes are not reflected in the list. When I look at the combobox in VS debugger, it shows the changes in the DataSource property but not the non-public innerlist property.

How I bind the combobox to the original list.

 public void IntializeGroupComboBox()<br />
        {<br />
<br />
            areaGroups = areaGroups.ReadGroups();<br />
<br />
            //Create a dummy group to hold Initial text<br />
            NaGroup ng = new NaGroup();<br />
<br />
            ng.GroupName = "Select Group";<br />
            areaGroups.gList.Insert(0, ng);<br />
            <br />
<br />
            //Populate the list with the group names.<br />
            foreach (NaGroup nag in areaGroups.gList)<br />
            {<br />
              grpName.Add(nag.GroupName);<br />
            }<br />
            <br />
            //binds the list to the combo box<br />
            groupCombBox.DataSource = grpName;<br />
        }

My Attempt at updating the items in the combobox.

int grp_index = grpName.FindIndex(is_selected_group);<br />
<br />
          grpName[grp_index] =groupCombBox.SelectedItem.ToString() + " ORD";<br />
<br />
                groupCombBox.DataSource = grpName;

I noticed that a couple of people have asked this question before but no replies. I would appreciate any reply, if it is only to tell me where I might find the solution.

Window Body From Handle

Hello all,
I need to get the contents of a windows form that is a child window of another company's application. So far I have the handle by enumerating the child windows of the application in question. Now I would like to get the content, at runtime, of what appear to be listboxes within that child form. Can it be done using the handle?

Thanks.

Hi,

Maybe use Control.FromHandle and cast it?

I havent tested it but maybe this will work...

<br />
<br />
Form a = (Form)Control.FromHandle(handle);<br />
<br />
foreach (Control c in a.Controls)<br />
{<br />
  if (c.GetType() == typeof(ListBox))<br />
  {<br />
     ListBox b = c as ListBox;<br />
<br />
     // do stuff with listbox<br />
  }<br />
}<br />
<br />

Form events taking precedence over control events and forwarding events?

Megidolaon16-Jul-09 12:43

16-Jul-09 12:43

I'm still hung up on that selection, for 3 months now. Nothing I try and no code others provide works even remotely.

Now I think I might use a transparent form that changes size according to mouse movement and check if it's client rectangle intersects with controls that can be selected.

But for that I'd need to have the form's mouse events take precedence over all control mouse events.

Normally, when the mouse is over a control, only the control's mouse events are fired and the form's own mouse events aren't touched, or?

I need to fire the form's mouse event at all times and ignore the control's events instead.

What happens if no control on the form (at least in the area that matters, menus are fine) has any event specified, will the form's events fire then or are they still blocked?

Thank you!

The problem is the WM_MOUSEMOVE message (0x200) only gets passed to the control the mouse is over. Even overriding WndProc won't solve that.

What is it that you're wanting to achieve exactly?
