Hi I don't really think I know enough to write an article to be honest. Also, I'm not very good at explaining stuff in a concise fashion! Smile | :)

Feel free to ask me any questions or use any of my code in the article though (and I'll rate it a 5 for ya! Wink | ;)

I have created a UserControl that allaws a DataObject to be dragged.
The DataObject contains a Bitmap and string.
When the DataOject is dropped into MSWord. MSWord displays the text.

Does anyone know our to force MSWord to display the Bitmap.

I have tried adding the Bitmap to the DataObject first followed by the string.

But this has no effect.

hi, i have a real quick question. I just need to find the X,Y (0,0) for the location of my programs Window in relation to the entire Desktop. Reason being is i use a API call called GetPixel() that uses X,Y (location) as a overload...but its X,Y are global X,Y i.e the entire desktop. I need to transfer my X,Y inside my program over to Global Desktop X,Y's. is there a easy way to do this ?

Thanks for your help, Time. If you need me to explain clearer please let me know

Create a blank solution, then you can add as many projects to that solution. To add a new solution click on File > New > Blank Solution.

C# Excel Add-in Question

Hi!
In one of my base classes, I have a function which receive a callback from another application. In this function, I would like to access Excel.Application object but I receive an exception: QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed.
If my class were inherited from Windows.Forms, I could use BeginInvoke function. So I would like to know a way to access Excel.Application object in my callback function.

Build with C# for Excel Object 9.0 (Excel 2000)

Thanks in advance!

Thank you

P.S.
What is the equivelent of BeginWaitCursor()?

i am not sure about any tabbed form articles, youll have to search.. but they are built into windows.forms.. they are listed in your toolbox as 'TabControl'.. you should be able to use it pretty easy..

and here is the cursor question

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
// do whatever
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default

Will I do not know of an article on the topic, it is very easy to do in Visual Studio.

Place a TabControl on your blank form. Right click on it and select New Tab. Now start placing controls on that tab. At any time, right click the tab control and select Add Tab to make more tabs. You can switch between the tabs while in the designer.

I don't really know if there is a built-in function (I looked in System.DateTime but didn't see one) so I threw this one together:

private string MonthName(int iMonth)<br />
{<br />
     string[] sMonths = {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };<br />
     return sMonths[iMonth] ;<br />
}

I respectfully submit that the problem description did not indicate the need for internationalization. Therefore my modest contribution met the initial requirements.

Since the bar has been raised, I will attempt to satisfy.

One solution might go thus:

public enum Mois 
{
	Janvier = 1, 
	Février, 
	Mars, 
	Avril, 
	Peut, 
	Juin, 
	Juillet, 
	Août, 
	Septembre, 
	Octobre, 
	Novembre, 
	Décembre 
};
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
	for (Mois mois = Mois.Janvier; mois <= Mois.Décembre; mois++)
	{
		Console.WriteLine (mois.ToString ());
	}
}

I suspect that this is not what was intended. So to blend my previous solution with Monsieur Nischalke:

public enum Months 
{	
	January, 	
	February, 	
	March, 	
	April, 
	May, 	
	June, 	
	July, 	
	August, 	
	September, 	
	October, 	
	November, 	
	December
};
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
	DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = new DateTimeFormatInfo ();
	for (Months month = Months.January; month <= Months.December; month++)
	{
		Console.WriteLine (dtfi.MonthNames[(int)month]);
	}
}

This has the benefit of symbolic constants instead of literals with the internationalization.
