Curtis,
You are the man. Thanks for all of your help. I actually have to change it a bit to also control how MANY instances can be called for each form. However, I will have to take a stab at that later. When I do, do you mind if I hit you up? Thanks.

No problem. Thanks for the compliment. I had to do this exact same thing for an application that I build for mean people. But, the technology was new, I had never used C# before, and thought "Sure, they're a@@h0l3s, but it'll be fun." Well, it was fun while they left me alone!
If you need more help, just post more messages in this thread. I'll try to keep an eye on it. That way, everyone can share the problems and solutions.

Curtis,
Thanks for your help.
One more thing. When I close the form, I am no longer able to bring it back up.

Hey, sorry about that. Change the body of the FlagAsNotLoaded method to
m_InitializedForms.Remove( formType.Name ); Sorry, was removing on the Type and not the Type.Name.

Now that I think about your solution, you may want to change all the references to formType.Name to one of two things: formType.FullName or formType. Two instances of different classes can have the same formType.Name and exist in the same project. If I include the two form classes Project1.CurtisAwesomeForm and Project2.CurtisAwesomeForm, then they will both have the same Type.Names but different Type.FullNames and their Types will not equate, either.
Just my two cents. <smile />

Curtis,
I am trying to control the number of instances of each form as well. So, working off of the previous code, I added this:
public static void LoadFormType(Type formType, Form parentForm, int instances)
{
lock( typeof( FormLoader ) )
{
if( eh == null )
{
eh = new EventHandler( FormClosed );
}
}
if( IsAlreadyLoaded( formType ) )
{
Form f = GetForm( formType );
f.Focus();
f.BringToFront();
return;
}
Form frm = (Form)Activator.CreateInstance(formType);
FlagAsLoaded( formType, frm, instances );//
DictionaryEntry[] myArr = new DictionaryEntry[m_InitializedForms.Count];//added
m_InitializedForms.CopyTo( myArr, 0 );//added
if(myArr[m_InitializedForms[formType.FullName]].Value <= instances)//added, clearly the cast types are wrong, but you get the idea
{
frm.Closed += eh;
frm.Show();
}
}
private static void FlagAsLoaded( Type formType, Form f, int instances )//
{
m_InitializedForms[formType.FullName] = f;
m_InitializedForms.Add(f, instances);//added
}
Then I would load a form as such:
FormLoader.LoadFormType(typeof(Form2), this, 1);
"1" indicating how many instances of the form should be allowed.
Thanks again for your help.

I have just found out about the BITS protocol and think it would be perfect for the project I'm working on (an application that uploads large amounts of data to a server). The problem is that there doesn't seem to exist an BITS API for C#, just for C++. Has anyone created a wrapper for C#? If not, do you think it's difficult to do?

You could make a managed C++ wrapper around the original C++ code. This shouldn't be very hard to do, but you need to know some C++ to get it done

Hi,
I'm trying to use the same event for different textboxes - the only difference being the textbox name.
Is there a way to determine which textbox the mouse has entered in a MouseEnter event, and then be able to do things with it like
Graphics g = txtBox.CreateGraphics();<br />
SizeF size = g.MeasureString(txtBox.Text,fontsmal);
?
Thanks so much again!!!

Yes, the sender paarameter in the event handler is the textbox that sent the event
private void AllTextBoxes_MouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
TextBox tb = sender as textBox;
if(tb != null)
{
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first argument to MouseEnter event "(object sender, EventArgs e)", sender is the control that triggered that event.

hi to all,
i need to define a form that will alyaws be on top of all other forms in my application.
i did that by setting the property TopMost = true.
the problem is that when i go into another win application (windows explorer for example) my form is still on top.
does someone knows how to define the form as a TopMost form but only for the c# application.
best regards and thanks in advance

Hi,
You can try YourFormObject.BringToFront(). It will leave your form on top over all other forms of your application but you can access to another application without problems.
I hope that helps you.

Hi. I am a newbie in programming C#, and am having a mental block. I am programming for the pocketPC.
I have a Combobox named "Type" and have a list there. I want to show the results of the entry from the combobox into a text label.
For example,
I pick "fruit" from the combobox.
I want to display on the screen: "This food is a fruit"
If I pick "vegetable" from the combobox, it should display:
"This food is a vegetable"
Right now, I'm getting:
"This food is a 1"
"This food is a 2"
How can I make the 2 into vegetable?
This is what I have, and I have a feeling it has to do with the GetValue and/or GetOrdinal.... I just can't seem to get it to work....
TypeLabel.Text = rReader.GetValue(rReader.GetOrdinal("MovieType")).ToString();
Thanks... Sorry for such a dumb question.  If I haven't given you enough code, let me know. I can always add more.

try this
on comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged event write this code
this.textBox1.Text = this.comboBox1.Text;
//each item u select from combobox the text of selected index should appear in textbox
I hope this helps

Thank you so much!
I will try it out immediately and let you know!
Thanks again!

Okay, I thought I understood what I'm doing, but it's not really working. 
I added this:
this.GLabel.Text = this.TypeCombo.Text;
To the Windows Form Designer generated code.
I added this:
OnTypeCombo_SelectedIndexChanged "1" write male;
It gives me the following error:
Invalid token "1" in class, struct, or interface member declaration.

Hello!
Oh my bad...try this in windows for designer:
this.combobox1.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.combobox1_SelectedIndexChanged);
then have this code inside the EventArgs:
this.Label.Text = this.combobox1.SelectedItem.Text
hope that works

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.textBox1.Text = this.comboBox1.Text;
}
//this code must work, i tested multiple time and works fine.
I hope u fill combobox in onLoad Event of ur Form or u fill combobox from another event
