Hi,
While reading through many informative articles regarding controls, transparency and alike on C#.
One question remained un-answered every time. How to implement real transparency rather than a fake one.
What is implemented in all the articles is fake, in sense they paint the background of the form, rather than the other controls that are placed underneath the control having transparency.
I myself is quite locked into same situation, and still haven't found no solution.
Compositing mode also didn't help.
Any ideas how to procede and have real transparency enabled.
Thanks.

true transparency is only supported by top level windows (forms)
using "LayeredWindows" api

Hello,
After I retreive the row from the dataset using the select statement:
DataRow[] rowval = dataset.Tables["Versions"].Select("ProjectID = 6 and VersionNumber = 2");
I update some of the values in this row:
rowval[0]["ProjectName"] = "Hello";
rowval[0]["EmployeeID"] = 23;
.
.
.
etc...
How can I insert it back into a dataset, so I can use the update statement
to save the changes into database:
adapterVersions.Update (dataset, "Versions");
Thank you very much

You don't.
What you get is a reference to a DataRow object. This same reference is contained in the Rows collection of the DataTable in the DataSet.
So, effectively, there's only one row object, and if you modify it somewhere, everybody who has a reference to that particular object will see the changes. In this case, since the DataTable (DataSets don't contain rows) has a reference to the same row you have, it will see the changes. You get the actual row, not a copy of it.
I hope this helps.

Hello guys,
I am trying to create a transparent form using CreateWindowEx() by calling
the unmanaged code. But everytime after the call the returned handle is zero.
i could not figure what is the problem in that...
Here is the code
--------------
[DllImport("User32", SetLastError=true)]
internal static extern int CreateWindowEx ( int dwExStyle, string
lpClassName,
string lpWindowName, int dwStyle, int X, int Y, int nWidth, int nHeight,
int hWndParent, int hMenu, int hInstance, IntPtr lpParam);
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public struct WNDCLASSEX
{
public uint cbSize;
public uint style;
public long lpfnWndProc;
public int cbClsExtra;
public int cbWndExtra;
public long hInstance;
public long hIcon;
public long hCursor;
public long hbrBackGround;
public string lpszMenuName;
public string lpszClassName;
public long hIconSm;
}
[DllImport("User32.Dll")]
public static extern int RegisterClassEx(ref WNDCLASSEX wndcls);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern int ShowWindow(long hwnd, int nCmdShow);
private string classname = "TestYetTransparency";
private void init()
{
// Let's create a window
IntPtr
hInst=Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModule("TestYetTransparency.exe"));
WNDCLASSEX wndclass=new WNDCLASSEX();
wndclass.cbSize = (uint) Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(WNDCLASSEX));
wndclass.style = 11; //CS_HREDRAW+CS_VREDRAW+CS_DBLCLKS;
wndclass.lpfnWndProc = 0;
wndclass.cbClsExtra = 0;
wndclass.cbWndExtra = 0;
wndclass.hInstance = hInst.ToInt32();
wndclass.hIcon = 0;
wndclass.hCursor = 0;
wndclass.hbrBackGround = 0;
wndclass.lpszMenuName = "TestYetTransparency";
wndclass.lpszClassName = classname;
wndclass.hIconSm = 0;
int mm = RegisterClassEx(ref wndclass);
int nativeHandle = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_TRANSPARENT,classname,"transparent"
,WS_BORDER,0,0,Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width,Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
,0,0,hInst.ToInt32(),IntPtr.Zero);
ShowWindow(nativeHandle,5); //SW_SHOW
}
private int WS_EX_TRANSPARENT = 0x00000020;
private int WS_BORDER = 0x800000;
------------------
Anyway help in this regard is highly appreciated.
thanks

Why don't you just use the Form.Opacity property?
modified 12-Sep-18 21:01pm.
|
|
|
|
|
Actually let me explain the problem in detail. Actually i am developing an ink based application. So i need to develop a transparent form where on which i can write on it. But when i set the opacity even the ink is becoming transparent. So i thought not to use this property.
I read somewhere in other groups that when a form is created it is created normarly with out WS_EX_TRANSPARENCY property set. Even setting the opacity does not set the value. So i thought of creating a form of this type and can write on it.
I hope this explains quite a bit why i am looking forward in this direction.

I don't know how to use Threads in C#.
I want to check if a website is loaded or not. If not loaded, wait for 3 secs and check again. If still not loaded do something.
Please help me with some pointers.
Thanks in advance

In C# there are function pointers which are nothing but DELEGATES
so delegates, which is used to reference to your objects.
With asynchronous programming, the caller must define the delegate when calling a method, if the caller uses a delegate.

Look for the Thread class in the System.Threading namespace. Creating a thread is as simple as instantiating a new Thread instance and calling Start on it.
You might also want to look into the BeginInvoke method, which you can call on any delegate.

In Form1.cs I have defined the "InstituteAdministrator" class which contains ListView "listViewAddress". In a second file (FormTreeView.cs) I have the class FormTreeView with the method "dataTreeView1_AfterSelect". When the user selects a node in the treeview, then listViewAddress should be filled and displayed with the corresponding addresses.
As long as I keep the whole thing in one file, it works fine, but not with two files and two classes.
I want to use dotnetmagic.com's libraries, which come with this two-files example for docking.
First I created a method within the InstituteAdministrator class which establishes the database connection and fills the listview. Within FormTreeView class I made a reference to the Institute Administrator class and called the filling method I defined, passing "e.Node.Tag.ToString()" as parameter to the method.
The program seemed to work, however the data is not displaying in the listview. Since then I'm trying out (try and error...). So far I did not find sufficient information in books or online examples to help me to understand what is going on. (needless to say that I'm a newbie)
Which are the steps to make this work? Any hints, anyone?

Hello,
I have a combobox, which is a DropDownList (can't type inside the box)
with values: a, b, and c for example. Is there an event, that will be triggered only when the text changed, if value of combobox was a and new value is b, fire event. However, if value was a and user picks a again, don't fire event.
Thank you.
|

|

DropDown event Occurs when the drop-down portion of a ComboBox is shown.
we can use the event when the text changed in the combobox.
This event is raised if the Text property is changed by either a programmatic modification or user interaction.
private void currencyTextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
// Convert the text to a Double and determine if it is a negative number.
if(double.Parse(currencyTextBox.Text) < 0)
{
// If the number is negative, display it in Red.
currencyTextBox.ForeColor = Color.Red;
}
else
{
// If the number is not negative, display it in Black.
currencyTextBox.ForeColor = Color.Black;
}
}
catch
{
// If there is an error, display the text using the system colors.
currencyTextBox.ForeColor = SystemColors.ControlText;
}
}

I'm new bie to C# application..here is my requirement goes,
(a) I want to search a particular keyword inside a file.
(b) let say, if a file contains text "this is sample program...". If i search "sample" inside a file, it should give the exact matching.
(c) any prior articles for the same..?
-------code
FileStream fs = new FileStream("C:\\a.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
StreamReader fs1 = new StreamReader(fs);
String mystring="sample";
while (string == fs1. _ ___ )
{
Messagbox.show("Yes i got ur string ..");
}
---------
please reply this incomplete prog..snippet.

Read N chars (N = length of the string you're matching) from the filestream into a test string. Test the buffer against the search string. If they don't match delete the leading character from the test string, read a single character from the file, append it to the test string and test again. repeat until you find a match or reach the end of the file.

public bool FindMyText(string text)
{
// Initialize the return value to false by default.
bool returnValue = false;
// Ensure a search string has been specified.
if (text.Length > 0)
{
// Obtain the location of the search string in richTextBox1.
int indexToText = richTextBox1.Find(text);
// Determine whether the text was found in richTextBox1.
if(indexToText >= 0)
{
returnValue = true;
}

Hi,
I am working on the treenodes in C# and am facing a prob. I want to dynamically populate treenode with a filename immediately after saving a file in a particular folder. Can I do this without writting any seperate function.
Or is there any other way?.
Looking forward for some help.

Hi All,
I was not able to display complex classes in the propertygrid and hence had to use UITypeEditors for doing that.
I am actually trying to display the properties of a class object inside the property grid which has another class object as one of its property .(can go deep)
The problem is that the object which is the property is getting grayed out even though i am using UITypeEditor (Comboboxlisteditor) to do so.
So no point in thinking of more deeper object properties.
I have tried all places to search for such a code which has a propertygrid displaying complex classes and enums . I could not find one .
So please spare some time and pass on some simple code which can display complex class objects and enums inside the propertygrid .I just need the minimum . I have referred to MSDN and few other articles from codeproject which was helpful to a certain extent but not for this problem .
I have spent more than 3-4 days in researching the things on this .
Please help me in getting it done .
Thanks and Regards,
DJ

Thanks for that Leppie.
But i dont want to use typeconverters, rather i would like to use custom type editors to solve my problem . wish i can get some piece of sample code which is tested having the required attributes.Because the attribute is not being able to pick up properly which is as follows
[Editor("WindowsFormsPropertyBag1.Form1.ComboBoxListEditor",typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]. Do you need more information about the problem??.

Good Day People,
I have a DLL. It takes in some parameters, and returns some output. This DLL has to be called form a EXE, which has a GUI Interface.
The portion of code where the DLL returns the solutin is pasted below.
The doubt is; when I call the DLL it returns "n" solutions. I need to take the first solution and show output, while the DLL should be proessing the other solutions.
So I think I should be raising an event, that outputs the first solution. I dot know how to handshake between my EXE and DLL properly. Can you assist?
------------------------------------------------
Code:
------------------------------------------------
forward = true;
while (!myStack.IsEmpty())
{
if (forward)
{
CurrentPtr = -1;
}
else
{
CurrentPtr = (int) myStack.Pop();
CurrentSolution.RemoveAt(myStack.Count);
myArray.RemoveAt(CurrentSolution);
}
CurrentWord = this.Problem.NthWord(myStack.Count);
strExistingWord = myArray.GetStringAt(CurrentWord);
myDict = (Dict) Dicts[myStack.Count];
newPtr = myDict.GetWord(strExistingWord,CurrentPtr, ref strNewWord);
if (newPtr != -1 )
{
CurrentWord.Word= strNewWord;
CurrentSolution.AddWord(CurrentWord);
myStack.Push(newPtr);
myArray.StoreAt(CurrentWord);
forward = true;
if(myStack.Count == this.ProblemSize)
{
Solution newSolution = CurrentSolution.Clone();
this.alSolutions.Add(newSolution);
//return;
// newSolution.writeSolution();
// System.Console.ReadLine();
forward = false;
}
}
else
{
forward = false;
// show the combinations
//this.show(myStack.ToArray());
//System.Console.Write("{0} ", ShowInPC(myStack.ToArray(),Dicts));
}
}
return;
