Could the ref be causing the problem somehow? I'm using IntPtr's for handles while accessing user32.dll without issue.

Dont use ref. Else you are creating a pointer to a pointer.

What is confusing here is that the argument is a pointer to a IntPtr (HANDLE). Passing a IntPtr as a handle works but this function calles for passing a pointer to a handle (HANDLE*).

Since when? HANDLE is a struct, iow a valuetype.

After 22 years I am leaving AS/400 (shudder), dec unix, Linux, Java, openVms, MFC, C++, VB, Access, blah blah blah) to a new job that is pure C#/SQL.
After many years of being unmanaged , I am finally gonna get managed  . ( I wish I could use VS C++ 2005 compiler for managed code, so I could manage the memory myself, sigh)
I have only done a few thousand lines of C# so here goes.
Pray for me.

 Good luck then. I came from an unmanaged background as well (though admittedly not as extensive as yours), and am loving C#. 
Oh, by the way, if you've done Java, then you've done 'managed' code already.

Don't worry. With experience you will slowly begin appreciate the fact that the computer can manage memory better at runtime than you think can at compile time.

I have a picturebox, which displays a bitmap.
I have coordinates, width, and height defined which correspond to a section of the image the picturebox displays.
I need to create a new image, from the section of the previous image that corresponds to my x,y,width,height variables.
Basically, I just need to extract the corresponding section of the image and create a new image from it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Assuming you have controls PictureBox1 and PictureBox2, and you want (for instance) a 50x50 pixel area of the image in PictureBox1 to appear in PictureBox2, then the following should work:
Image original = pictureBox1.Image;
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(50, 50);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
g.DrawImage(original, new Rectangle(0, 0 , 50 , 50), 50, 50, 50, 50, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
pictureBox2.Image = (Image)bmp;

Members,
I have a user control embedded on a single form. The form has a pubic method that I created. I want this child control to notify the parent page when new data is entered in to a text field on the user control. I want to keep the user control responsible for only the information that it is gathering. However, I want this parent page notified when new records are created.
How do I pass the record id as a string from the embedded control to the public function on the parent page?
Thanks for the thought...

Raise a message in the control that the parent form handles.
|
|
|
|
|
You may ( for further use ) create an event on the usercontrol itself which may be this_DataChanged and it tracks all the changes that may have been done , and then in every parent you add this control in you just handle it.
ex:
public class MyControl : UserControl
{
public MyControl() { }
public event EventHandler DataAdded;
public DataType PropertyName
{
get { return dataField; }
set { this.dataField = value; this.OnDataAdded(); }
}
private void OnDataAdded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.DataAdded != null)
{
this.DataAdded(this.DataAdded, e);
}
}
}
public class MyForm : Form
{
this.MyInheritedUserControl.DataAdded+=new EventHandler(this.MyEventHandler);
}
hope this helps.

LongHC,
Thank you very much for the solution.
Per you comment, it depends...In the land of Knights and Knaves, where Knights always tell the truth and Knaves always lie, you could not be a Knight and a Knave would never offer the truth--therefore, you must be a Paradox.

Hello, Everyone. I am just wandering, if anyone has ever tried adding a NumericUpDown control to a MenuItem. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!

Can't figure this one out. I've got a picturebox on my form. In the designer it's visibility property is set to true. In code depending on inputs I want to either have it display an image, or be invisible (with other controls adjusting their layout to take it's place). When I traced into the setup method I found that on entry the property was false, and remainded so regardless of attempts to set it. All 3 lines of code below represent attempts to change the property. The first is what I had originally, the 2nd and 3rd were done just to see what would happen. In the latter case I was checking against the posibility that somehow the clr was !ing the parameter.
this.m_pbImage.Visible = true; //false before, false after
this.m_pbImage.Visible = !this.m_pbImage.Visible; //false before, false after
this.m_pbImage.Visible = false; //false before, false after
If I set the image property it will display despite visible being set to false immediately before calling show dialog. I could do the repositioning code where I'm currently setting the Visible property, but I'd rather only doso once in an if-else than in each of a halfdozen case values.

How to free the display of the form/control? SuspendLayout() can not work.
Thanks!

Inside my application is a window. Inside my window is a picturebox.
When my mouse is hovering above the picturebox, I need to know the coordinates, relative to that picturebox.
There is also a button on the side: "Define X,Y" -
If there user clicks that button, and the next click is on a point inside that picturebox, I need to record those coordinates.
Any idea how to go about this?
|
|
|
|
|
do you want to know the x,y inside the picbox?
Try:
<br />
private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
label1.Text = "x=" + e.X.ToString() + " y=" + e.Y.ToString(); <br />
}<br />
Cheers,
Simon

Yeah. Just figured it out. Each object has its own mousemove event handler. All I had to do was set the mousemove handler for the picturebox alone. Thanks!

Hi All,
I am trying to host a foreign control ( may be a usercontrol or some other control
like a as tabcontrol ) as one of the columns of DataGridView.
As per my knowledge, I derived two classes:
DataGridViewUserControlColumn: DataGridViewColumn,
DataGridViewUserControlCell : DataGridViewCell
I have reached to a point where I can display the column on the DataGridView and each cell has a usercontrol. But when I scroll the DataGridView, the usercontrols
fail to scroll or change position. They remain where they are.
I am guessing that I haven't derived my two classes well ?
Any code sample will be of great help.
Below is my sample code that I was working around:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if (value != null &&
!value.GetType().IsAssignableFrom(typeof(CalendarCell)))
{
throw new InvalidCastException("Must be a CalendarCell");
}
base.CellTemplate = value;
}
}
}
public class CalendarCell : DataGridViewTextBoxCell
{
private Button btn = new Button();
private static int counter = 0;
private int thisButtonCount;
public CalendarCell()
: base()
{
// Use the short date format.
this.Style.Format = "d";
counter++;
thisButtonCount = counter;
this.btn.Text = thisButtonCount.ToString();
}
public override void InitializeEditingControl(int rowIndex, object
initialFormattedValue, DataGridViewCellStyle dataGridViewCellStyle)
{
// Set the value of the editing control to the current cell value.
base.InitializeEditingControl(rowIndex, initialFormattedValue,
dataGridViewCellStyle);
CalendarEditingControl ctl =
DataGridView.EditingControl as CalendarEditingControl;
ctl.Value = (DateTime)this.Value;

Could anyone help me out with a theoretical problem......
From my main thread I'm launching a child thread that each obtain a read lock from an instance of a ReaderWriterLock
If the child thread does not release the read lock before it expires, will the main thread inherit that read lock, enabling it to call UpgradeToWriterLock.
Sorry to be so vaugue if you need more details let me know.
Thanks,
Chris.

Does anyone know how to force the xmlDataDocument to include elements for nulls (from the dataTable in the dataSet) in the resulting xml?
I'm transforming the xml into an html table and without all the elements the columns are misaligned.

HI,
I have a requirment where in I have to show a child form without
losing the focus of the invoking form/mdi form.
My application shows a Popup window rising from the task bar.
This popup form is invoked by the main MDI form which handles
several events from the server. Based on the event type I create
an instance of the popup form and show the Popup form. During this
period the MDI form loses its focus. Once the Popup goes down, the
MDI form regains focus.
I have used ShowWindow(this.Handle, 4) API call which in turn is supposed to open
a form without focus.
But still this does not work.
Is there anybody who can suggest me the solution for this problem.
Any help/suggestion is hightly appreciated.
Regards,
Hitesh
