Re: Sending current page as attachments

What exactly do you mean by "page"? I assume you mean a web page and that you're talking about an ASP.NET site. If that's true, not only do you not have any control really what's on a client tmachine (all your code is sever-side, but client-side scripting might be a little helpful assuming your script is granted enough privileges), but you're posting in the wrong forum. Post in the ASP.NET forum here on CodeProject.

If you aren't referring to a web application, please elaborate.

Closing a form :)

I cannot figure out how to ask the user for input if a form should be closed (or application exited), when alt+f4 or the X button is clicked?
Is there an event being fired when the user clicks the X button (the one on the caption bar)?

Subscribe to the Form.Closing event Smile | :)

sure but i've just missed that the

System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs.Cancel property has to be set to true

BTW is this call a good idea:

this.OnClosing(new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs());

Here I raise the System.Windows.Forms.Form.Closing event, when a button Quit is clicked on (or another exit condition is met).

to Raise the Form.Closing event you need to just call:

this.Close();

I have actually found out how it is done. Here is what a I did (nothing specially, really). I happens to me too often the solution is obvious but I miss it.

buttonExit_Click... etc... is an event handler... is it how you are going to do it? Thanx

private void buttonExit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Raises the System.Windows.Forms.Form.Closing event
    this.OnClosing(new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs());
}

private void FormOfficeTools_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
    System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult result =
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(this,
        "Желаете ли да излезете от програмата?",
        "Изход от програмата",
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Question
        );
    if (System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes == result)
        Application.Exit();
    else
        // If "No" then cancel the System.Windows.Forms.Form.Closing event
        e.Cancel = true;

}
#endregion

You don't need to call Application.Exit (in fact, I recommend you don't). The only condition you have to worry about is anything that would lead you to set CancelEventArgs.Cancel to true. If you don't set it, the form will continue closing as normal. The .NET Framework SDK even has a good example for the Form.Closing event.

Thank you, Heath Stewart

What's wrong with Application.Exit? Why don't you recommend using it?
How should I then quit an application?

I'm looking for the Form.Closing event... Smile | :)

and still can't find it.

Heath Stewart31-Jul-04 4:48

Because the form is already closing. If the form is your main form - the one you passed to Application.Run, once it's closed the application will exit anyway. There may already be messages in the pump that were posted that may need to clean-up resources. Calling Application.Exit circumvents that. So, if you don't set CancelEventArgs.Cancel to true, the form will close and the application will exit just as if you hadn't handled the Form.Closing event.

And what do you mean you can't find it? It's documented in the .NET Framework SDK, and if you use the designer you can click the "Events" button in the PropertyGrid when your form is selected, find the Closing event and double-click it. You can also use IntelliSense.

The thing is, you're not looking for Form.Closing, you're looking for this.Closing or form1.Closing or whatever is appropriate for accessing your instance of your form. Some basic understanding of programming is assumed. Closing is an instance event, so it will be defined for an instance of your form (so access it using this or a variable that refers to your Form).

Sorry, I have meant the Form.Closing sample you have mentioned about and not the event! I have made a pretty stupid mistake and haven't checked what I have written.

I understand about Application.Exit now. I thought that it isn't generally a good idea to use Application.Exit at all.

BTW I have replaced Application.Exit with:

private void buttonExit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	this.Close();	// Close the main form and exit the application
}

Then I handle the Form.Closing event to ask the user if he really wants to quit etc. Is it a good idea or not? Smile | :)

It seems to me like an implementation of your idea.

Heath Stewart1-Aug-04 5:44

Yes, that is the way to handle it. Form.Close will send the Windows messages to close the Form. You're handling the WM_CLOSING message and optionally cancelling it. If you don't, the Form continues to close. When it's closed, if the message pump was waiting on it (i.e., you passed an instance of that Form to Application.Run), then the application will exit.

Yes there is... it's called Closing... and when you handle it you can do all kind of stuff (including cancellation of closing) with it Wink | ;)

I was messing around in C# express and I though it was cool how everything is "visual styled". When I put a tab control on my form, the background is all fancy and has a gradient. that's great I say to my self... but then I add a label or something, and the backgrounds don't match - it looks really ugly. How can I fix this?

Want to make a good C# window Application

30-Jul-04 23:20

First search and - if not reported already - report a bug at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/[^]. This has to do with the Theme API and how they're using it since a TabPage and GroupBox require owner-drawing with the P/Invoked Theme API. This was a known bug with .NET 1.x that they attempted to fix with .NET 2.0. As you can see, it still has problems (but it's beta, so now is the good time to report bugs).

Um...how about this one? CodeProject overs thousands of articles in many different languages. Go to the homepage and browse the categories that are applicable to what you want to learn.

MenuItem adding and removing at run time

4-Aug-04 5:00

Do you think every project in this world is unique? Hardly. Find a project that looks interesting - maybe a few - and code something similar (I didn't say to copy their source). This way, you have reference while you learn but above all else, be sure to read through the .NET Framework SDK. This is like some simple calculator you can fumble through to learn - it is an advanced framework that requires reading otherwise you're nothing more than a coder, and anyone can simply write code.

Hi All,

I have added a menu with one menuitem titled "(No Filter)". Based on the selection in another menu I want to populate this menu with items. Then if the menu item changes in my other menu then I want to clear all the items except the "(No Filter)" Item and repopulate the items filtered by the new menu selection.

I have been able to fill the menu items the first time but when I select my filter and repopulate my items the list disappears. I am using the following code to remove the current list before populating.

for(int icount=2;icount < imnu_count;icount++)
{
this.mnuLocation.MenuItems.RemoveAt(icount);
}

I am starting the count at two to preserver the "(No Filter)" Item and using this code to populate the list again.

//Add the items to the Menu
MenuItem menuItem1 = new MenuItem(cs_location_string[0,icount]);
menuItem1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.mnuLocationNF_Click);
this.mnuLocation.MenuItems.Add(menuItem1);

When I look at my menu it has no items at all

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Stephen
