Hi, does anybody here know how to make the main form of the application "always on top" i.e floating over other windows even if it's not selected ?

If you have application (with main form formMain) and you want to set formTool as tool window (it will be always above main form) use this:

formMain.AddOwnedForm(formTool);

i'm only pointer to myself

I don't know. There might be. AntiAliasing, in case you didn't know, involves blurring the edges just right to avoid the graininess caused by very small type on a low-res pixel screen. MS's definition of high-quality may or may not involve this. BTW, did you try MSDN or the Platform SDK?

HighQuality and AntiAlias are the same constants -- no difference
likewise, for HighSpeed
They are alternative names.

Hi,

I have below string sequence:

'John' , 'Joe' , 'Al''ex' , 'Philip' , 'Ja,coup' , 'Dan'

and I want to define quote separated names same as below:

'John'
'Joe'
'Al''ex'
'Philip'

Can I do it using Match and Regular Expression?

Let me to made some changes in problem. I want to match quoted strings, using \' as an escape to place quotes in the string.

Valid strings:
 'Alex'
 'John\' Burg'
 '\''
Invalid strings:
 'test\'
 'not'Valid'

Is it possible to define a Regular Expression to this situation?

I have searched UDDI and yahoo, but with no luck...

What I am looking for is a web service that will supply information on current baseball games (when someone hits, scores, etc.) and one that can report weather by zip code. Does anybody know of one?

I have a feeling that I missed something obvious. That would'nt be the first time that happened Blush | :O

Thanks. That is not exactly what I was looking for - but the search engine helped a lot.

Ideally, I want a web service that can retreive the current status of a game in progress - ie. who is batting, current score, who is on base, etc. I searched for it, but with no luck.

PS. I found a weather web service through the search engine. It seems like it will work fine.

The one I'm using is weather.interceptvector.com[^]. It has xml weather feeds for cities all over the world, and the cities/states/countries are listed in XML, too.

Starting an program from a program.

Ok, so I have this program... and the person clicks on the button, "buttonExplorer" then that will launch the program, "explorer.exe" located at "C:\windows\".

private void buttonExplorer_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			//ADD CODE HERE
		
		}

How do I do this?

Well actually I figured it out...

private void buttonExplorer_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:/windows/explorer.exe");


}

Is this the "correct" way? Or is there a better, more efficent way to do it??

Pretty much. You can make a reference to the process from the return value though, so u can "monitor" the process.

I would just put "explorer.exe" though as not everyone will install windows in c:\windows (I used to have a habit of putting it in a folder called "windoze", ahh the old days!!! Big Grin | :-D

XMLTextWriter

I am using XMLTextWriter like this to write into the XML file.

textWriter.WriteStartDocument();<br />
<br />
textWriter.WriteStartElement("", "MAIN TAG", "");<br />
textWriter.WriteStartElement("", "TAG", "");<br />
textWriter.WriteString(strTagValue);<br />
textWriter.WriteEndElement();<br />
textWriter.WriteEndElement();<br />
textWriter.Flush();

ex:

STUFF

Ignore this !, this is to avoid the format.

But when I try to add another TAG, it replaces the current TAG.
How to append the new tag to the current tag?

What I am doing wrong?

I want like this:

STUFF

STUFF2

Ignore this !, this is to avoid the format.

Does this work for you?
textWriter.WriteStartDocument();

textWriter.WriteStartElement("", "MAIN TAG", "");

textWriter.WriteStartElement("", "TAG", "");
textWriter.WriteString("STUFF");
textWriter.WriteEndElement();

textWriter.WriteStartElement("", "TAG", "");
textWriter.WriteString("STUFF2");
textWriter.WriteEndElement();

textWriter.WriteEndElement();
textWriter.Flush();

It's not like one time saving in the XML file.

In fact, in my program when I complete certain activity I want to add that new string (ex: STUFF2, STUFF3)into the XML file.

So my question is:

Initially like this
<<maintag>>
<<tag1>>
STUFF1
<>
<>

After sometime I want to add new TAG :
<<maintag>>
<<tag1>>
STUFF1
<>
<<tag2>>
STUFF2
<>
<>

Capture Winlogon.exe Events

Does anybody know how one would get started in trying to capture the winlogon.exe events (logon, logoff, locked machine ...) using C# and the .NET Framework?

Also I am curious how to possibly make a service that monitors this. Any suggestions?

Read the GINA Docu from MSDN
I don't think you can do it with managed code, it has to be a dll that exports some funcs

All I need is a roadmap and then I might be able to find a clue.

Regions/Search/String Table

Kant11-May-03 6:11

Kant

11-May-03 6:11

1. How to expand all the closed regions with one single click?

2. How to search within a file when particular region is closed (+). Is there any option in search which tells to search inside closed region? Find in files works OK, as atleast it shows the region where the search string can be found.

3. How to store all the strings (ex: error messages) in a string table (STRINGTABLE), just like the way in VC++?
