Re: add OnPaint handler to a proj Heath Stewart28-Nov-03 4:23 Heath Stewart 28-Nov-03 4:23  First, you should understand what happens to the code since VS.NET merely manipulates code and other resource files. Dragging and dropping is hardly "programming". .NET uses an event handler system that is easy to understand and - many times - can't be hooked up using the designer. To use VS.NET to do this, though, use your Property Grid to switch to events (the first couple of buttons at the top of the Property Grid show properties or events, respectively). Find the Paint event and either double-click it, or type your own event handler method name and press Enter. Like VS6 and below, it will jump you to the method block to begin writing code.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

The property grid will recieve the focus. It is also on by default and should be obvious. It's always there as a docked Window but can be undocked. You should read the product documentation if you're unsure.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: Diable Font style and Size from Font Dialog Heath Stewart28-Nov-03 4:19 Heath Stewart 28-Nov-03 4:19  Not properties and methods in .NET, no. You'd have to P/Invoke SendMessage and GetWindow. You'd then have to call GetWindow several times with the right params (which you should define as consts or an enum - see the native GetWindow documentation in MSDN) to get the two controls you want to disable. This is also risky because this common dialog may change in the future, thus throwing the controls possibly out of an order you've defined. You could just enumerate them all till you find two windows of the right Windows class (which means more P/Invoking). Then you can call SendMessage(handle, WM_ENABLE, false, 0), where handle is the Window handle of the each control. A better way to handle this would just be to define your own dialog which includes only those things you want. You can make it robust like the FontDialog so that it accepts a Font from which to initialize the form's values, and returns a Font created from the old Font (as the template) with the new attributes selected in the dialog. This is just like the FileDialog.Font property.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

I have a user control whcih contains one picture box along with other controls. Depending on certain conditions I want to change images on the picturebox. But at the same time I want to refer only assembly of the user control in other solution. If I am using method System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("filename") I have to put gif files containing those images in bin directory of solution in whcih I am using user control. But I don't want that. I want that only assebly needs to be referenced. Is there any way for this. If yes please send code snipet. Thanks Shailaja Re: changing image on picturebox in user control runtime Heath Stewart28-Nov-03 4:09 Heath Stewart 28-Nov-03 4:09  If you mean embedded resources in a .NET assembly, then embed resources in the assembly from which images can be selected, then use the Bitmap(Type, String) constructor. The Type parameter should be a type that has the same namespace as the embedded resources (in a mannger of speak), and the String should be the name of the resource that begins with the same namespace. See that constructor documentation for more details. You can also create an image from a stream, which means you can use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to get a Stream for the embedded resource, which you then create an image from, and assign that to PictureBox.Image.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

I did not get what you have suggested in 1st para. What I did is I embedded the resources by changing their build property to embedded resource. And I tried to get the required resource from Assembly Manifest by using statements System.Reflection.Assembly thisExe = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); System.IO.Stream file = thisExe.GetManifestResourceStream ("ShapeLibrary.5side_Equipment.gif"); baseShape1.PropDisplayImage = Image.FromStream(file); While I am trying to compile the project getting this exception message " An exception occurred while trying to create an instance of ShapeLibrary.BaseShape. The exception was "'null' is not a valid value for 'stream'.". Whereas "ShapeLibrary" is name of assembly containing Embedded resources. BaseShape is the user control in this Library in which I am putting image from this perticular code above. For that I have written public property which sets image on the picture box. Have I missed anything? Regards Shailaja Re: changing image on picturebox in user control runtime Heath Stewart1-Dec-03 2:02 Heath Stewart 1-Dec-03 2:02  If you're getting that error while compiling, the code above has nothing to do with it. It's not JIT'ed and executed during compile-time, only at run-time. And the name of the assembly doesn't matter when resolving the embedded resource per se. If you're using VS.NET, the resource will contain the base namespace (configurable in the project properties, which is defaulted to the assembly name) plus dot-separated namespaces for each folder the resource is in (for source files, the namespace uses these as well for default namespaces), plus the resource name. If you're not sure about this, open your compiled assembly in ildasm.exe (the IL Disassembler, part of the .NET Framework SDK) and examine the MANIFEST file. Toward the bottom you'll see .mresource entries. Type the name into GetManifestResourceStream exactly as you see it there.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Some are without '' and some within '' Is it affecting the working of my code? for Eg: .mresource public ShapeLibrary.Sensor.gif { } .mresource public 'ShapeLibrary.4side_Equipment.gif' { } .mresource public 'ShapeLibrary.5side_Equipment.gif' { } So should I use stringname = "'ShapeLibrary.4side_Equipment.gif'"; where as earlier I was not using ''? I tried doing this but still the exception persists. Regards Shailaja Re: changing image on picturebox in user control runtime Heath Stewart1-Dec-03 2:22 Heath Stewart 1-Dec-03 2:22  Again, are you getting this error when compiling your project, or when executing it? And as far as the single quotes go, you should use them if they are specified there, but I'm curious how they got there in the first place. Check the resource name in the property grid when you select the file in your project that is the embedded resource and make sure there are no single quotes.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Regards Shailaja Re: changing image on picturebox in user control runtime Heath Stewart1-Dec-03 2:30 Heath Stewart 1-Dec-03 2:30  Then you have a different problem than the name of the resource in your source code - that isn't checked by the compiler, except for syntax and type-safety. Having those single quotes in your resource names (for the project, not the code) could be causing problems for the assembler. Like I said in my previous post, try to figure out why the single quotes are there and get rid of them. You might have to manually edit your .csproj file, but it isn't difficult. Be sure to do a complete rebuild when you're finished to make sure the resources are properly embedded.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Providing an image format handler is an incredibly daunting task that requires many, many COM interfaces (and in .NET, these have to be redefined in managed code) and registry entries. If you merely need to insert a well-known image format (like GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, etc.), then add the Microsoft PowerPoint typelib to your project (right-click on your project, select Add Reference, then click the COM tab) which creates an interop assembly. Then you can use the PowerPoint object model to insert an image. Besides, it might not even be possible since PowerPoint may be configured to only handle image formats that it was written and compiled to understand. In this case, you have to create an image viewer COM component and get into OLE (object-link and embedding) to display it in PowerPoint. Again, this is a very daunting task that is even difficult for those of us that have been using .NET for the last couple years.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: Wrapper Class Over Complex Structure (C# calling native dll) Heath Stewart28-Nov-03 3:59 Heath Stewart 28-Nov-03 3:59  It is possible, though not always neat and clean. See the System.Runtime.InteropServices for lots of attributes, enumerations, and other classes to help create the structures with the right byte alignment and field marshaling, and to marshal the parameters for function calls. There is a lot of documentation the .NET Framework SDK that deals with these namespace elements.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?
