Hello,
i'd like to use a combobox with auto-completion like the one used by internet explorer to browse. How can i do that? Of course i'd like to add any items inside, like "Boat, "Car", "Moto", etc....
Thanks a lot

You need to implement the IAutoComplete2 interface,
Have a look here[^] for an example in c#

send mail to me and i will send my own autocomplete combobox dll.

Sample c#
<br />
private void ACCombo_KeyUp(ComboBox cbo, KeyEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
switch(e.KeyCode)<br />
{<br />
case Keys.Back:<br />
case Keys.Left:<br />
case Keys.Right:<br />
case Keys.Up:<br />
case Keys.Delete:<br />
case Keys.Down:<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
string strTypedText = cbo.Text;<br />
int intFoundIdx = cbo.FindString(strTypedText);<br />
<br />
if(intFoundIdx >= 0)<br />
{<br />
object objFoundItem = cbo.Items[intFoundIdx];<br />
<br />
string strFoundText = cbo.GetItemText(objFoundItem);<br />
<br />
string strAppendText = strFoundText.Substring(strTypedText.Length);<br />
cbo.Text = strTypedText + strAppendText;<br />
<br />
cbo.SelectionStart = strTypedText.Length;<br />
cbo.SelectionLength = strAppendText.Length;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void ACCombo_Leave(ComboBox cbo)<br />
{<br />
int intFoundIdx = cbo.FindStringExact(cbo.Text);<br />
cbo.SelectedIndex = intFoundIdx;<br />
}<br />
Let me know if you need this for VB.NET

I want to create an Archive Mail Reader in C#. With this one can view their mails. No options for editing, deleting or forwarding will be there. Can anyone give an idea about how it can be implemented using C#.

I have a javascript that creates a dynamic drop down with a person's name as the name is typed. Once the user clicks on the name from the dropdown the page reloads with that person's information in the pages web control's. This part works wonderfully. What doesn't work is when I try to manually edit the text boxes with new values. When I click on my Edit button the text boxes pick up on the intial values and not the new values that were put in the text box. Any ideas why?

Make sure you don't rebind the data on postback:
Page_Load:<br />
<br />
if(!IsPostBack){<br />
BindData();<br />
}
if you rebind the data here, your changed values will not appear

I'm trying to get these two methods to modify a value stored within the namespace Interface_Resources and the class TrafficCalculations. I am trying to get them to call two new methods called TrafficLimitIncrement (for UpButton) and TrafficLimitDecrement (for DownButton). How can I do this? I'm in a mental block atm and it's driving me nuts!
Cheers for any help.
[edit]I should probably mention that the Interface_Resources is a dll file being used by a form (which is using the methods UpButton and DownButton) to change a value.[/edit]

Use shellexecute. Or, I believe there's a static 'Process' class kicking around in the runtime that lets you do the same thing without interop.

You could try adding a WebBrowser control on ur Windows' form. It will give u all the necessary functions for simulating a Web Browser, along with its behaviour.
Hope this helps

I have a propertygrid, I set its property SelectedObject to the object I want. It displays all the properties. Is there a way to make it display only the properties I want? And how to apply the chenges after the user clicks, let's say Apply button?
|
|
|
|
|
You need to apply attributes to your properties,
I beleive the attribute: BrowsableAttribute will determine whether it gets displayed or not.
As for applying the changes, I assume you have both get and set'ers in your code?

Is there a way to make it display only the properties I want?
You'll need to implement ICustomTypeDescriptor and return the properties you want displayed in the GetProperties method. These articles (Customized display of collection data in a PropertyGrid[^], Globalized property grid[^], Bending the .NET PropertyGrid to Your Will[^]) show how to do this.
And how to apply the chenges after the user clicks, let's say Apply button?
The best way would probably be to create a new class that contains the properties to be displayed and also implements ICustomTypeDescriptor which you can then select into the property grid instead of the other class. Then when the Apply button is clicked you can copy the new values back.

Ok i am re-asking the question ,probably i wasn`t clear enough to get the attention of people like Heath Stewart
i am working on a add-on Application which would be crawler like,means there would be an entry point URL(e.g: http://site.com/virtual/index.asp),the links from the page will be retrieved and then same process will be repeated with those links,during this exercise,i found relative link on a webpage,for instance "members/file.asp" etc
sine in next round,i have to access the above mentioned URL via HTTPWEbrequest,for that i would have to pass url something like http://site.com/virtual/members/file.asp,where bold part is the part has to be attached with the resultant Url,in html,web browser can understand relative paths, for instance,browser will convert the relative url "../my.asp" to http://site.com/my.asp when its rendered on browser,how could it be done if its done on a non web based application in C#
Thanks

I've got some long-running operation that could be cancelled by the user. The way I'm doing it is
1. launch a second thread to do the entire operation.
2. when the second thread comes to the long-running piece of the operation, it launches a 3rd thread
3. the second thread monitors the 3rd thread, waiting for it to complete, while also monitoring if the user has cancelled.
My code looks something similar to
void DoHeavy()
{
EatCpuForTwoMinutes();
}
void DoEntireOperation(ICancellable cancelFlag)
{
...
ThreadStart heavyMethod = new ThreadStart(DoHeavy);
IAsyncResult result = heavyMethod.BeginInvoke(null, null);
while(result.IsCompleted == false)
{
if(cancelFlag.IsCancelPending) break;
else Thread.Sleep(250);
}
...
}
I feel like Thread.Sleep is a total waste, since the operation could complete before 250 milliseconds is up. I also feel this is inducing too much overhead, constantly checking whether the delegate is completed. Is there a better way to do this?

But do you actually kill the DoHeavy thread? Is there someplace that the DoHeavy thread can check to see whether it should cancel itself? That's usually the best practice.
As it is now, it looks like you are allowing the second thread to exit, but DoHeavy will continue running, eating up CPU cycles until it's done. This is probably not ideal.

I don't kill the DoHeavy thread because DoHeavy is calling a method in a library I don't have the source code for (so I can't 'cancel' the thread, so to speak). And I'm a firm believer in abstaining from Thread.Abort calls, especially from asynchronous code.
The slow method in question is actually a synchronous IO operation, one which the library providers did not provide an asynchronous alternative to, so in reality it's not so much eating the CPU cycles as it is just wasting disk space on an disk writing operation.
As far as the Thread.Sleep() & operation.IsCompleted calls inside the while loop, is there any better way to do that? If not, would it be wise to make shorter iterations in the sleep loop (causing more IsCompleted calls) or better to sleep more and query IsCompleted less often?
