Modal UserControl, exist some way?

21-Jan-04 11:08

If this is an instance of a control, you shouldn't access it from a static. Just have an public instance property that returns the control from the instance of that class. It would be much better, though, if you only expose what you need from that class. This is known as data-hiding - you don't want to expose too much information or allow unverified code to change the behavior of your class. If you want the property to only be visible in your assembly, use the internal access modifier instead of public.

Hi friends,

This time I have a very strange need, I recognize
Wink | ;-)

! In my application, there is three custom UserControls that represent "windows":

MyFakeWindow UserControl1
MyFakeWindow UserControl2
MyFakeWindow UserControl3

There is also, a "FakeWindowManager" that controls which window is the current, which the windows order and things like this. Two methods stand out:

void FakeWindowManager.Load(MyFakeWindow window)
DialogResult FakeWindowManagerAsModal.Load(MyFakeWindow window)

The problem is in the second method. How to do to simulate a MODAL window? Does anybody have an idea? Any suggestion, road, shines, am accepting everything... Big Grin | :-D

Thank´s in advance,

ShowDialog() show the form as modal window. Is that what you want?

Problem inserting data into a database from a textbox

21-Jan-04 11:05

A control and a window are distinct window classes with different window styles. Instead of having to modify window styles and going to the work of implementing a pump, simply host the control in a borderless form and return the dialog result from the form:

public static DialogResult Load(MyFakeWindow window)
{
  Form f = new Form();
  f.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
  f.Controls.Add(window);
  window.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
 
  DialogResult result = f.ShowDialog();
  f.Dispose();
 
  return result;
}

Hi all,
I was wonder if anyone ran into this problem before, if so could help me. I am trying to insert data into a database from a textbox. Once the user enters the data and presses the add button the database sould be updated and move to the next record. My problem is when the user presses add,I get the following error:

An unhandled exception of the type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException occurred in system.data.dll

The code is as follows.........Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.sqlDataAdapter1.Fill(this.dataSet11,0,0,"Protype_Type");
}

private void addBtn_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(this.sqlConnection1.ConnectionString);
con.Open();

//this.sqlInsertCommand1.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Prototype_Table (Project_Title) VALUES(@Project_Title)

string InsertThis = this.sqlInsertCommand1.CommandText;

SqlCommand cmd = new DqlCommand(InsertThis, con);

//Note:Here is were the compiler points to the error
cmdExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();

}
}
}

Put your codes inside try/catch block so you can tell us what is error message.

If you're filling a DataSet with a SqlDataAdapter, may I also assume that you're binding it to your controls? In this case, just call SqlDataAdapter.Update passing the changed DataSet (the adapter will get the changes and execute the appropriate SqlCommand for the type of change, then will accept the changes on the DataSet). This very easy. To move to the next record, get the CurrencyManager for the bindings (see Control.BindingContext for more information) and increment or decrement CurrencyManager.Position to move forward or back respectively (check the curren position for 0 or Count - 1 before setting it, though, or an exception will be thrown for extending beyond the range of data).

missed dot must have caused compile time error so sth different occured.. I think you din't use right order to get access data in db. I mean you may not define sth properly such as a dataset.. We could not see the whole code. Good luck.

Raw socket handling tcp syn without SIO_RCVALL ?

rantanplanisback21-Jan-04 7:42

21-Jan-04 7:42

Is there any way to handle tcp syn packets without setting SIO_RCVALL socket options ?
The following works with icmp and udp msg but not with tcp connection requests.

System.Net.Sockets.Socket srv_socket=new System.Net.Sockets.Socket(System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork,System.Net.Sockets.SocketType.Raw, System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType.IP);
srv_socket.Bind(
new System.Net.IPEndPoint(System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 2000)//whatever you want
);
srv_socket.Receive(ReceiveBuffer);// handles udp and icmp message but no tcp syn Frown | :(

ArrayList

This function:
private void BuildMenuStructure(SqlDataReader dr)
{
ArrayList arrNodes = new ArrayList();
while(dr.Read())
{
object[] values = new object[dr.FieldCount];
dr.GetValues(values);
arrNodes.Add(values);
}
}

Places data from a datareader into a 2-dimensional arraylist.

How can i index into the data (arraylist).

I need to do something like this:
int mmenuid = arrNodes[1][1].ToInt32();

Re: ArrayList

Scrolling on mouse down/move

21-Jan-04 8:17

An ArrayList stores Objects and, as such, will return them. In order to access your object[] array you'll have to cast the return value of ArrayList.Item (the indexer):

int mmenuid = (int)((object[])arrNodes[i])[1];

Just about everybody will have seen or used this functionality I am trying to replicate, most likely in Acrobat viewer - or a variant which is [CTRL + Cursor] in most scrollable windows.

I am working on a simple image viewer, that overrides the onPaint for the form and renders a given image directly onto it (i.e. no picture boxes etc). Image display is working as it should but I am now looking for a way to scroll the form using mouse events. For example, the user clicks and holds on the form, when they move the mouse pointer the form is scrolled in the direction of mouse travel.

The mouse events to do this are relatively simple :

private int mouseDownX;
private int mouseDownY;
private bool mouseDown = false;

private void ImageViewer_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
  mouseDown = true;
  mouseDownX = e.X;
  mouseDownY = e.Y;
}

private void ImageViewer_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
  mouseDown = false;
}

private void ImageViewer_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
  if (mouseDown)
  {
    //vertical scroll
    if (e.X > mouseDownX)
    {
      //scroll south
    }
    if (e.X < mouseDownX)
    {
      //scroll north
    }

    //Horizontal Scroll
    if (e.Y > mouseDownY)
    {
      //scroll west
    }
    if (e.Y < mouseDownY)
    {
      //scroll east
    }
}

The problem is that I cant find any way of scrolling the form (this), does anybody know of a solution?

I think you should repaint the form when the mouse move, not scroll it. Thats the thing really happend there but of course it could be slow.

Actually, Mazdak, the current position of the document is changed which cause repainting on the view of the document at that position.

Mazdak21-Jan-04 8:02

21-Jan-04 8:02

Sorry Heat,I can't understand you. Is that mean its a wrong solution that I gave ? In his paint he should calculate the moving of mouse and show new image , isn't it?

Heath Stewart21-Jan-04 8:11

In a document/view architecture, the position of the document (or even an image in this case) must be tracked so that you know what view (the visible portion of a document or image to draw) to draw. Painting will happen regardless but you need to be able to track the position of where you were in order to know where to move (or rather, how to adjust the view).

He could do it this way but he would have to do all the view calculations himself and it's just not necessary. Even in games development with, say, DirectX you have a world view that you control and the painting of that world within that view is - for the purposes of this discussion - painted by DirectX (it just has to know how to paint).

See my reply to the original thread. Controlling the scroll bars is actually quite easy (though it could be easier if exposed by ScrollableControl or other non-derivative controls that can scroll like the ListView).

I had already tried that by using image offsets generated within the events I posted above.

Although it worked, the overhead was massive when painting dynamically (i.e. as the mouse moves), it worked acceptably if I just repainted on mouse up but it wasnt the exact functionality I was after.

One other method I came up with was using bitblt functions, using this system the overhead was reduced but not drastically, for the purposes of education and future forums searchers I will post the code up tomorrow.

I will attempt to use Heath's (post below) suggestion tomorrow, as it seems like a reasonable way of doing things.

Heath Stewart21-Jan-04 8:06

You have to P/Invoke SendMessage and send the appropriate scroll messages to the control:

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg,
  int wParam, IntPtr lParam);
private const int WM_HSCROLL = 0x0114;
private const int WM_VSCROLL = 0x0115;
private const int SB_LINEDOWN = 1;
//... (more SB_ defines from winuser.h)
 
// To scroll one line down...
SendMessage(myControl.Handle, WM_VSCROLL, SB_LINEDOWN, IntPtr.Zero);

myControl.Handle, of cousre, is the Window Handler of the control that you want to scroll, the owner of the scroll bar itself. See the documentation for WM_VSCROLL[^] and WM_HSCROLL[^] for more information.

That is great, its exactly what I was looking for, thanks lot for the code.

One question though: I implemented the follow code snippet :

private const int WM_HSCROLL = 0x0114;
private const int WM_VSCROLL = 0x0115;
private const int SB_LINEMOVE = 1;

and thend called this within the event I posted above

SendMessage(this.Handle, WM_VSCROLL, SB_LINEMOVE, IntPtr.Zero);
SendMessage(this.Handle, WM_HSCROLL, SB_LINEMOVE, IntPtr.Zero);

The problem is that, although this will happily scroll right/down, it will not scroll up/left. After some reading of the MSDN links you posted I have been unable to locate the necessary codes to do this. Could you possibly point me in the right direction.

EDIT : After some more searching I found the following example, which set SB_LINEUP / SB_LINELEFT to 0 - interestingly this causes the my aplication to crash.

Adding Column to a ListView

22-Jan-04 4:24

The definitions for the various SB_* messages are in the winuser.h file as I mentioned in a comment in the first code example I posted. You can find these in the Platform SDK, which - if you installed the default options when installing VS.NET - is in the VS.NET installation directory, the Vc7\PlatformSDK\include. There's a whole slew of them, and they have defined them in such a way that up/left is the same numeric value, as well as down/right. Both SB_THUMBPOSITION and SB_THUMBTRACK messages are sent as notification messages you can handle in an override of WndProc to scroll your control how you see fit.
