PropertyGrid customization kaloyan15-Jan-04 3:28 kaloyan 15-Jan-04 3:28  I'm working on a windows app that uses a PropertyGrid control. The grid displays certain properties of some objects that I use in my app. I want to make the PropertyGrid display a dialog for a string property. This functionality is typically available for properties of array type. I want the user to be able to click next to the string property and make a dialog popup so that he/she can construct the value of the string property from some possible options. Is this possible? Re: PropertyGrid customization Heath Stewart15-Jan-04 6:05 Heath Stewart 15-Jan-04 6:05  See the UITypeEditor class. You need to derive the class and create your own UITypeEditor that uses GetService to request the IWindowsFormsEditorService so that you can call ShowDialog and pass an instance of your form. Finally, use the EditorAttribute on your property that specifies the Type (or the type string if in another assembly for design-time only that you don't want to ship, which should be installed into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC)). There should be examples of this in the documentation for these classes in the .NET Framework SDK.   -----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?

This worked perfectly! a beginner's question Forrest Feather15-Jan-04 2:56 Forrest Feather 15-Jan-04 2:56  Hi friends: i had such question: i wrote my code in vs.net then i press f5 to view the result of my program,but theres only a flash of the commandline window which disapeared within 0.5 second... Is there any method to view the result while coding with vs.net? I have known the method that write such code as Console.ReadLine() at the end of the code . Is there any other method ? thanks for your help Re: a beginner's question Guinness4Strength15-Jan-04 3:49 Guinness4Strength 15-Jan-04 3:49  You can either Debug the code, manually run it from the command line, or put in a Thread.Sleep(x) where X is the number of Milisecoinds you want the program (current thread) to pause for. If you use the Thread.Sleep option, you will need to reference the System.Threading library. Re: a beginner's question Colin Angus Mackay15-Jan-04 4:16 Colin Angus Mackay 15-Jan-04 4:16  I do the same. I use #if DEBUG Console.ReadLine() #endif So that it only does it in debug builds, and release builds work normally. --Colin Mackay-- EuroCPian Spring 2004 Get Together[^] Re: a beginner's question HAHAHA_NEXT15-Jan-04 10:58 HAHAHA_NEXT 15-Jan-04 10:58  This is because your main method is finished. At the ned of your program put while(true); But you will have to close the project manually Question about multicast Korby15-Jan-04 1:49 Korby 15-Jan-04 1:49  I create a console application project for Multicast of IP. I get a problem when I run this application. The console outputs an error message: Invalid Parametres. I implement multicast with an UDPClient object like this: ip=IPAddress.Parse("234.5.6.7"); UdpClient s = new UdpClient(); s.JoinMulticastGroup(ip); //The exception happens here //Environment: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, VC#.NET Thanks Re: Question about multicast Heath Stewart15-Jan-04 6:02 Heath Stewart 15-Jan-04 6:02  Make sure you set the AddressFamily of the UdpClient in the constructor before calling JoinMulticastGroup, otherwise an ArgumentException will be thrown. This constructor overload is only supported in .NET 1.1 and higher. More information about the exception that is thrown and the version of the .NET Framework in which you're developing might help if this doesn't solve your problem / is not possible to implement (i.e., using .NET 1.0).   -----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?

Is there any way to center-align columnheaders in a datagrid while the text in the rows of the column is still rigth-aligned? I found out using datagridTextBox.Alignment, but this aligns both header AND text in the rows... any help? Re: winforms: aligning of column headers Heath Stewart15-Jan-04 5:53 Heath Stewart 15-Jan-04 5:53  You could create your own DataGridColumnStyle derivatives and ignore the Alignment property. Just derive from the existing ones like DataGridTextBoxColumn and DataGridBoolColumn to avoid having to implement the rest of the behavior.   -----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?

So unless i override the paint event, I can't do what i want.... Re: winforms: aligning of column headers Heath Stewart15-Jan-04 9:24 Heath Stewart 15-Jan-04 9:24  In the override for DataGridColumnStyle.Alignment, try returning HorizontalAlignment.Left. The default painting procedure should use that to paint the text; otherwise, yes, you will have to do the text painting yourself (but that is pretty easy to do). See Graphics.MeasureString and Graphics.DrawString for more information.   -----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: Multiple Datarelations switchname15-Jan-04 3:06 switchname 15-Jan-04 3:06  sorry for that. here the problem more detailed: I have three datatables in one dataset. this construct shall save datastrings for many kinds of databases. i want to connect thee three tables in that way: Tablenames: Databases, Connectionstrings, Parameter one database can have several connectionstrings, one connectionstring can have several parameters. i connected the tables that way: //CODE:------------------------------------------------------- System.Data.DataColumn dc2 = ds.Tables["Datenbanken"].Columns["id"]; System.Data.DataColumn dc4 = ds.Tables["ConnectionStrings"].Columns["db"]; DataRelation dbcs = new DataRelation("dbcs", dc2, dc4); //dbcs = Database --> Connectionstring ds.Relations.Add(dbcs); System.Data.DataColumn dc3 = ds.Tables["ConnectionStrings"].Columns["id"]; System.Data.DataColumn dc1 = ds.Tables["Parameter"].Columns["cs"]; DataRelation cspm = new DataRelation("cspm", dc3, dc1); //cspm = ConnectionString --> Parameter ds.Relations.Add(cspm); dataGrid1.DataSource = ds; dataGrid1.DataMember = "Datenbanken"; dataGrid2.DataSource = ds; dataGrid2.DataMember = "Datenbanken.dbcs"; dataGrid3.DataSource = ds; dataGrid3.DataMember = "ConnectionStrings.cspm"; //END OF CODE---------------------------------------- "id" is always the primary key the relation "cspm" does not work better? mfg Re: Multiple Datarelations Heath Stewart15-Jan-04 5:51 Heath Stewart 15-Jan-04 5:51  What exactly doesn't work? Is the third grid just not showing any rows? One other thing you could try, although your code looks correct, is to design a strongly-typed DataSet (add a new item to your project and select DataSet in the popup window) and create the tables and relationships in there. You can also drag-n-drop from the Server Explorer for a database connection as well. When you fill the DataSet using a DbDataAdapter derivative, you don't have to worry about all the code for the relationships and what not.   -----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: Multiple Datarelations Heath Stewart15-Jan-04 9:45 Heath Stewart 15-Jan-04 9:45  The first question that comes to mind then is if there is actually related data for the second table's rows. I'm figuring there is, but it has to be asked. One other thing you could try is to "disconnect" the first relationship and just make sure that the 2->3 table relationship is working correctly. I seem to remember a similar thread about this problem a long time ago. You could try searching the comments (click "Search Comments") above) to see what was the solution, if any. I suppose it's possible that such a relationship isn't possible, though I would think this is an unlikely possibility.   -----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?

Active application? phimix14-Jan-04 23:32 phimix 14-Jan-04 23:32  Hi How do I determine if my application is currently active? I.e. I want to see if my app. is the one in focus or if the user has shifted to another app. by clicking it's box in the taskbar, etc. Thanks for your help, Mads Re: Active application? Mazdak15-Jan-04 2:47 Mazdak 15-Jan-04 2:47  You can overriden Leave event for when it lost focus. Also for regulary check it ,you can check Focused property of form in a timer. Mazy No sig. available now. Re: Active application? phimix16-Jan-04 3:07 phimix 16-Jan-04 3:07  Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, Leave doesn't seem to have the requested effect. The Leave event is not raised when the active application is changed, I think we will try to do a work around using MDI. C#/Java communication Norman Fung14-Jan-04 23:31 Norman Fung 14-Jan-04 23:31  I need to get a Java application to communicate with a C# apps. What're the possible ways of doing that? References/Url would be nice. Just want to add that I'm new to Java, and been coding Windows code for the most part of my life. So, please keep in simple and treat me tender. Thanks in advance. Norman Fung Re: C#/Java communication Jinwah14-Jan-04 23:50 Jinwah 14-Jan-04 23:50  Depends what you want to communicate but XML would be a good way if you want to do it file/db based. Another would be some sort of Socket based communication not sure how it would go between C# and Java. Just a little idea HTH Luke
