Re: VB6 - Property Let, Event and '\' - c# how?

The C# way of doing it has many advantages, icluding:

* You can assign lots of different events to the same method.
* You can very easily hook and unhook events at runtime.
* The C# event implementation is much more flexible.

VB is meant for RAD which mean they ignored details for you. Good for general purpose programming, bad for advanced.

As for question #2:
In C#, a property set is the same as a property let - and that's how things should be.
You cannot pass arguments to a property. You can, however, use indexers or a method.

And question #3:
Try casting the values to integers after performing division on them.

For question 2, i got an error:

This is how i code:

public string SmallWindowPrompt(int SmallWindowNumber, string vData)
{
get
{
return this.SM[SmallWindowNumber];
}
set
{
SM[SmallWindowNumber] = vData;
}
}

When i compile, it says i need to place 2 semicolons right after get and set.

I just change the variable name, but it is based on question 2..

any help?

Thanks for everyone replies.

In C#, properties cannot have arguments. But why not just publicly expose whatever that SM collection is, and therefore eliminate the need for that property?

BTW, here's a tutorial[^] on properties in C#.

Make a property for the SM collection.

public type SmallWindows
{
   get
   {
       return SM;
   }
}

Another way: You can make this an overloaded method or create two properties.

// OVERLOADED METHODS
public string SmallWindowPrompt( int smallWindowNumber ) {

    return this.SM[sallWindowNumber];

}

public void SmallWindowPrompt( int smallWindowNumber, string vData ) {

    SM[smallWindowNumber] = vData;

}

// PROPERTIES
public string GetSmallWindowPrompt {
    get { return this.SM[SmallWindowNumber];}
}

public string SetSmallWindowPrompt {
    set{ this.SM[SmallWindowNumber] = value;}
}

Question #3

The dividion operator is overloaded to handle both integer and floating-point division.

Search for "Operators Compared in Different Languages" in the Help topics.

cast the results to integer.
float i = 1199282.293F;
float j = 199.33F;

newResult = (int)( i / j );

Using Custom .dll files - where do they go?

I have created a .dll file to manage data with an sql server.

I want to build a new windows app that uses that .dll

2 Questions:
1. Where does the .dll file go? In the same directory as my project?

2. When I include the file, is it just like I define other classes?

Using namespace.class;

Assuming you are using Visual Studio.NET, open the solution explorer and right click on the "references" folder, select the "Add reference" menu choice, then click the browse button. Browse to your .DLL file, and click "OK". That will add a reference to your .DLL to the project. From there, just add a line at the top of your source file like this:

"using mynamespace;"

Thank you , .. as for .NET classes, they should automatically reference .. is this correct?

I had a problem where I created an app that would not run on another system which didn't have VS.NET installed.

It was an XP Pro box with .NET1.1 installed.

As long as the target machine has the .NET framework installed, you should be good to go. Ensure that the framework version on the target machine is the same as the one you compiled your application to.

Hiding Form on Startup

Hey,

How do you hide a form on startup so that it doesn't show at all. I want to hide a form initially until the user clicks on a notifyIcon. Currently...

public Form1()
{
	//
	// Required for Windows Form Designer support
	//
	InitializeComponent();
	this.Hide(); //or this.Visible = false;
}

...does not work. Any suggestions?

Hey Adam,

try this, to prevent the form to be created at startup, if the no-button is clicked.

if (MessageBox.Show("Start Application",
"Question",
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
MessageBoxIcon.Information) == DialogResult.Yes)
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}

Maybe it's helpful...

why not set a madule main function to be startup rather than a form. then you can do what you want with it

I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

Okay,

I've got a semi working solution, tell me if i'm doing anything that could lead to problems later.

public class Class1
{
static void Main()
{
Form1 form = new Form1();
Application.Run();
}
}
 
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Form
{
public Form1()
{
IntiallizeComponent();
this.Visible = false;
}
}

This creates the notifyIcon in the system tray, but does not show the form. When the notifyIcon is double clicked, then the form pops up. When the form is disposed, i have it call Application.Exit() so that the Application quits properly...this is mostly what i'm concerned about, that the tread is terminating properly.

AutoScroll jumping to 0

I have a window with AutoScroll set to true, but I seem to have some odd problem wtih it.
Whenever the window gets focus, the scrollbars jump to 0. How can I fix this?

Re: AutoScroll jumping to 0

misterbear31-Jul-03 22:59

31-Jul-03 22:59

There is a property called AutoScrollPosition which contains the offset of the scrollwindow. I guess you have to manually account for this all the time...
But I really don't know cause I have the same problem.

If you find a good solution please let me know...

ListView and user click

Hi guys !

Is there a way to know on which column of a ListView control the user has clicked ?
We can now the row but not the column.
Any idea ?

Thanks.

aeros,
you can do it through OnMouseDown (or OnMouseUp). That events have MouseEventArgs parameters X, Y which you can use in ListView GetItemAt method. GetItemAt gives you the clicked ListViewItem. And thanks to Index property you can obtain the column.
Hope it helped.

Hi,

It doesn't work because ListViewItem.Index property gives you the row not the column.

You are right. We have to help ourselves with interop:

class YourClassName<br />
{<br />
  const int LVM_FIRST  = 0x1000;<br />
  const int LVM_GETSUBITEMRECT = (LVM_FIRST + 56);<br />
  const int LVIR_BOUNDS = 0;<br />
  const int LVIR_ICON = 1;<br />
<br />
  [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]<br />
  struct RECT<br />
  {<br />
    public int left;<br />
    public int top;<br />
    public int right;<br />
    public int bottom;<br />
  };<br />
  [DllImport("user32.dll")]<br />
  private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int wMsg, int wParam, ref RECT lParam );<br />
  <br />
private void listView1_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
  RECT myrect;<br />
  ListViewItem lvitem = listView1.FocusedItem;<br />
  int wParam = lvitem.Index;<br />
  int intLVSubItemIndex;<br />
  ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem LVSubItem = null;<br />
  int intSendMessage;<br />
<br />
  for( intLVSubItemIndex = 1; intLVSubItemIndex < lvitem.SubItems.Count; intLVSubItemIndex++)<br />
  {<br />
    LVSubItem = lvitem.SubItems[intLVSubItemIndex];<br />
    myrect = new RECT();<br />
    myrect.top = intLVSubItemIndex;<br />
    myrect.left = LVIR_BOUNDS;<br />
    intSendMessage = SendMessage(listView1.Handle, LVM_GETSUBITEMRECT, wParam, ref myrect);<br />
    if( e.X < myrect.left)<br />
    {<br />
	LVSubItem = lvitem.SubItems[0];<br />
	intLVSubItemIndex = 0;<br />
	break;<br />
    }<br />
    else if(e.X >= myrect.left && e.X <= myrect.right)<br />
    {<br />
	break;<br />
    }<br />
    else<br />
	LVSubItem = null;<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  if (LVSubItem != null && lvitem != null)<br />
  {<br />
    MessageBox.Show(String.Format("ColumnIndex: {0} {1}", intLVSubItemIndex,<br />
			LVSubItem.Text));<br />
  }<br />
<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />

In the intLVSubItemIndex you have 0 base index of clicked column.

scaling text to fit into rectangle

misterbear31-Jul-03 4:13

misterbear

31-Jul-03 4:13

I have a little problem...

I have a panel with controls on it, that i want to draw to the printer. the controls consist of smaller panels with text inside them, and listboxes with lines of text inside as well.
(class diagram editor)

Now the problem is that when I print this i scale it to fit to A4 (or whatever specified) paper size. No problem scaling a simple bounding rectangle to the textboxes and listboxes, but now I want the text to be printed inside these components as well, so the print-out will appear as on screen. How can i fit the text into these boxes, i.e. apply a scaling to the bounding rectangle of the text?

I have thought of two things:
Either change font size until something that fits is found
OR
Draw the text to a bitmap and scale this.

Is there any 'standard' way of doing things like this? Any suggestions?
