Are there any registry keys that are created in the setup process, that you could check for ? Any files that must go to a specific path ?

I have to first check whether there is a new Setup.exe and if found I have to call the Setup.exe.
Whenever the Setup.exe is installed successfully, registry keys will be created and also some files are copied to specific path because of Setup.exe.
Thanks in advance

Easy then. Check the registry keys, if they exist, setup was successful.

But I have to run Setup.exe everytime when there is a new Setup.exe.
For example, Setup.exe is successful on the first run and required files are copied to a folder. After a week suppose there is new Setup.exe available. I will try to launch the new Setup.exe. At this moment I have to stop XML from saving if the user cancel's the Setup.exe installation or installation fails.
So how to check for registry at this point( that is after first run of Setup).
Thanks a lot

OK, I was asking if the setup creates something every time. Well, I assume then that your setup is actually updating a program ? So you know the install directory ? Make sure the setup always updates one particular file, then check the date it was last changed, that will tell you if it succeeded.
Or you could create a key which you delete every time, so it gets created solely to flag success in running setup. Or a key to store a version number, and you can check if it changes.

Hello Graus,
I checked the install directory and everytime the installation is successful, its updating a ".ver" file. And if the installation fails, its not updating the ".ver" file. I can check whether the file is modified and if modified, I can update the XML.
I appreciate your quick help. You saved lot of my time.
Thanks a billion

Hello All,
I am a beginner to .NET. I have a few icons in some directories and I want to add them to the nodes of Tree View dynamically but I have no idea. I went thru some message boards and also MSDN. Every where images are being added at design time.
Please help me. I am scratching my head since one day for this simple thing  .
Thanks in advance
Looney

Well you have to follow some steps first. Create the node and then add the needed parameters
TreeNode tnNew;
TreeView oTv;
tnNew = oTv.Nodes.Add("Text to appear in the node ");
tnNew.Tag = "Tag of the node - it's ID";
tnNew.ImageIndex = 0; // Index of the selected image
tnNew.SelectedImageIndex = tnNew.ImageIndex;
|

|
|
|
Hello,
But I want to specify path for picking the images. Not by specifying the index.
Thanks
Looney

No way.
The way the TreeView works _is_ that you have the node icons in an imagelist and _only_ reference them by index.
Of course, you can add images to the imagelist at runtime and then set the new index, but you can't do it directly.

Hey!
I have a log program that logs all data from serial port in a textbox. This works good. But I’m not sure how it will react if it adds data to the textbox for days with out removing any data. Maybe textbox will be to slow especially with word-wrap?
To remove rows from a textbox is not too good, probably the textbox will redraw a couple of times witch I don’t have performance to.
If I use BeginUpdate and EndUpdate on a listbox maybe it could be faster? And if it is a listbox, then I can simply let there only be 400 rows or something like that.
I have tested RichTextBox, and just over some min the performance meter is going up, the text box is holding a stable level.
BestRegards

I wrote a similar application and used Listbox because I needed the data formatted like a grid. I did run into trouble with slow performance when I had about 10,000 lines (my app logged about 800,000 lines). So what I did was to limit the number of lines displayed to 1000 and when it reached 1000 I removed a line from top and added new line to bottom; however, the entire set of data was still being saved in memory using MemFile (C++). That is my input about listboxes. I haven't experienced with too many lines using textboxes; however, note that textboxes have a "Lines" property which holds an array of all lines in the textbox so I imagine you could remove lines from it if necessary.

Saving very long texts in a TextBox or a ListBox _only_ isn't a very good idea IMO.
If I had to do it, I'd show the last n entries (n=100 perhaps, configurable) in a ListBox and when more entries are added I'd remove the ones at the beginning of the list.
But I'd also log the data to a file, otherwise - apart from possible performance problems - all your log data is lost when the app ends (unexpectedly).

Hey!
I have a textbox that logs searten events, this text box will be filled over days and maybe weeks. The data flow in to this textbox can be fast.
The question is now: Will this result in memory overflow if no data is removed from the textbox? Or handles .NET this?
Best Regards
SnowJim

I believe a textbox has a maximum size. Certainly, you may want to set a maximum size, and trim from the string until it fits that size. If you want a full log, you should do it to disk, where it can be written and forgotten about.

Yes it is written to disk, but there most be a visible log there you can see the current dataflow.
textbox have e a maximum size, but what happens when it is full? will it remove from the begining or will it result in a memory overflow or somthing??
Best Regards

Like I said, set a maximum size, and keep removing text from the oldest record on, so it doesn't get out of control. As to your question, the obvious thing is to try it and see. You can write a loop that just keeps adding text to a textbox, can't you ?

Solution I can think of involves timer and P-Invoke SetCursorPos API[^].
Is there managed solution?

Unmanaged:
P-Invoke GetDesktopWindow[^] to get handle to desktop... then again P-invoke SendMessage[^] and pass it desktop handle. See details of API on MSDN or google or whatever.
Hope it helps.

Yes there is. The System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position property gets or sets the cursor's position in screen coordinates.

Why you didn't say that before??? If you need to control IE from your application, there is different way to do it.
Look at this Article[^] if you can have browser in YOUR APPLICATION. If it must be external IE window then e.g this link[^] should give you some idea... Or just type "IE Automation C#" into search engine.
Sorry I won't write any example now... I am sure there are many on the web.
