Hello gurus,
I am fighting with the MdiChildActivate event.
I would like to know how this works. There is no sample in the MSDN and this event seems to be mysterious: it seems that nobody has used this on this forum. The reserach gave me no result 
So, what I need to do is the following:
When an mdi child is brought to front by clicking on it, I wish to know which child is this in order to refresh the main window title, its properties (via a PropertyGrid placed in the main MDI form) and selecting the corresponding node (in its 'solution explorer' which is a TreeView). My application handles 3 types of different documents.
Can someone help me and showing me a code snippet please? I'm not familiar with MDIs in C#. Sorry for asking the question.
Best regards.
Fred.

Hello,
Is there a nice way of masking the textbox, so that if user has
the amount in the textbox = 45000, the textbox will display it as money amount like that: $ 45,000.
Thank you in advance.

There used to be a control called the Masked Edit that made this simple. But I don't think you can put this control on a current Windows Form.
But you can make your own inherited control to do the same thing. Just inherit from TextBox and override the OnKeyPress method to modify the text entered by the user according to the desired mask. You could design it such that the constructor takes a definition of the mask as a parameter.
Sound like too much work? Then just use this[^].

If you continue to do the same things you always did,
don't be surprised if you get the same results you always got.

instead of using onkeypress why don't u use on text change; what about pasting in to the control. But u are using data bound controls try to see BaseBindingManager.Format and .Parse events

I don't understand? What's BaseBindingManager? Who will that relate to my TextBox?
Thank you

I have a dialog form and appears on the top of MDIContainer (frmMain)
and I want when the user close the dialog form then an MDIChild should
be open on the frmMain. I tried:
myMDIChild.MdiParent = frmMain();
myMDIChild.Show();
but it didn't work.. I also tried:
frmMain MainForm = new frmMain();
myMDIChild.MdiParent = MainForm;
myMDIChild.Show();
with no luck. I am not getting any error message but the MDIChild form
is not openning..
Many Thanks,
Jassim Rahma

Hi,
In the parent window do the following:
myMDIChild.MdiParent=this;
MDIChild.Show();
This code has to be called in the frmMain() class.

|

but the container is not (this).. i am running this code from frmNew() but the mdi container is frmMain()
|
|
|
|
|
in that case, set the IsMdiContainer to true and set the MdiParent property of the myMDIChild class to the new created form.
This should work.

let me understand..
my main form is frmMain
my child form is frmChild
the active dialog is frmDialog
a user clicked a button which shows a frmDialog and when the user click on the button on the frmDialog it should close it and open frmChild within the container (frmMain)
so you want to say in frmDialog i should have this:
frmData frmChild = new frmData();
frmChild.MdiParent = frmMain();
frmChild.Show();
I tried that but getting this error:
dialog_form.cs(258): 'Ezi_Life.frmMain' denotes a 'class' which is not valid in the given context

Is this what you're looking for?
in MDI main form:
private void menuItem1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DialogForm aDialogFormGUI = new DialogForm();
if (aDialogFormGUI.ShowDialog()== DialogResult.OK)
{
ThirdForm aThirdFormGUI = new ThirdForm();
aThirdFormGUI.MdiParent = this;
aThirdFormGUI.Show();
}
}
On the Dialog form in the Close event or Click;
DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
Hope this helps.

|

yes.. it worked.. than you very much
can i ask one more question please
how can i run one instance of MDIChild so that if the user invoked the same option again it will not open a new MDIChild.. t should just bring the already openned MDIChild to front..
|

Don't know if this is the best way but...
In your MDI Main create a method which passes a temporary Form as a parameter then iterate through all open forms to return the index of the form:
int formIndex = -1;
int i = 0;
foreach (Form cf in this.MDIChildren)
{
// compare the Form you passed with all open Forms
if (passedForm.GetType() == cf.GetType())
{
formIndex = i;
}
i++;
}
Replace the code in the if statement of the dialogresult to:
ThirdForm tempForm = new ThirdForm();
int frmIndex = IndexOfForm(tempForm);
tempForm.Dispose();
// The form is not open
if(frmIndex == -1)
{
ThirdForm ThirdFormGUI = new ThirdForm();
ThirdFormGUI.MdiParent = this;
ThirdFormGUI.Show();
}
// The form is already open
else
{
this.MdiChildren[frmIndex].BringToFront();
}

NNTP is a thing of the past...its kina dead and people who use forums a lot have a hard time opening the browser and navigating to their thread and stuff. So i thought i'd make a forums to NNTP covertor...by using screen scraping to rip data off the webpages and convert them in the NNTP Usenet msgs form. IS it even remotely possible in C#?
|
|
|
|
|
Possible? Yes. But not practical at all. You'd have to write code to interpret each individual site. And if the site changes their web page, you're re-writing your code.
I thought this is what RSS was for...

i get yor point dave but the problem with RSS lies in the fact that i can read the post but i can reply to them or post new ones. It's kind of a one way system.

I agree Daves remarks about the difficulty of generating NNTP data from a webpage. The only practical IMO way to do so would be to work from the backend, the easiest way would probably be to use NNTP as the message store and then build the webversion as an NNTP gateway.
Despite it's age, for high volume sites a good NNTP client is far superior to a webUI. Some of the best ones can approach parity, but are much more dependent on having a high speed, always on, connection which not everyone does.

Hi. I think this part of code help you
public void OnStartupComplete(ref System.Array custom)
{
Word wApp= (Word.Application)applicationObject;
}
So use wApp to get all data, you need

I have an MDIForm and 5 child forms in my project. what i have to do is, during MDI Form's "MdiChildActivate" event I have to set some value to private a variable in my active child form. But when i write a statement like this : this.ActiveMdiChild.childVariableMode="0";
I get an error-"No defination For childVariableMode found in activemdichild". In vb.net i can do this by:
dim a as object
a=me.ActiveMdiChild

But i C# if i do same as VB.NET i get the same error, please solve my problem.I am in very hurry, my whole project is depended on this.

I am using MySqlConnector for .NET (version 1.0.4), I am using the following code for dataAdapter's update command:
this.codeListAdapter = new MySqlDataAdapter(
"SELECT * FROM CodeList", this.myConnection);
MySqlCommand codeListUpdateCmd = new MySqlCommand(
"UPDATE CodeList SET ProviderID=?ProviderID WHERE DestCode='?DestCode'", myConnection);
codeListUpdateCmd.Parameters.Add("?DestCode", MySqlDbType.VarChar, 10, "DestCode");
codeListUpdateCmd.Parameters.Add("?ProviderID", MySqlDbType.Int16,
0, "ProviderID");
codeListAdapter.UpdateCommand = codeListUpdateCmd;
codeList = new DataTable("CodeList");
this.codeListAdapter.Fill(codeList);
and then I am using the following code, (after changing some rows of 'codeList' ofcourse):
codeListAdapter.Update(codeList);
codeList.AcceptChanges();
but it throws the Exception mentioned above, what might be the problem?
The structure of the 'CodeList' table is like this:
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| DestCode | varchar(10) | | PRI | | |
| Destination | varchar(50) | YES | | NULL | |
| ProviderID | int(11) | | MUL | 0 | |
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
Thanks in advance...
