On the class where your start up form is there is a static method called Main(). It kicks off the GUI. You need to make a descision here whether to launch the GUI or go command line. The parameters passed into the Main method are the command line parameters. If there are none then you can launch the GUI. If there are parameters then you could process them and exit.

I'm trying to return an Ampersand as a char using this code:
<br />
case 17:<br />
return '&';<br />
However, it doesn't return anything. So I tried using the unicode escape: \u0026. That didn't return anything either.
I've changed the fonts multiple times, but for some reason the ampersand just doesn't show up. Does anyone have a solution?

- What is "it" in the above phrase?
- What happens when you set a breakpoint at the return statement? Is it ever reached?

hi
u try
{
case 17:
return '\&';
}
|

Yes, of course it's returning something. A function always returns something, and there is no reason what so ever that it couldn't return a specific character.
The problem is where you handle what the function returns.

b { font-weight: normal; }

If you're displaying this value in UI, then due to mnenonic nature of the Windows forms, the "&" will get converted into an underline for the next character. You must return "&&" for it to be displayed on labels/captions/radio-buttons/menu-text etc.

Thank you!
That was the problem. The mnenonics was screwing it up.

Hello all,
I have this question of which I'm not able to find any solution on the internet. So I thougt that I could find one here.
I have a device hooked up to the serial port which provides the ability to connect analog potmeters to it. Now I'm able to get these ADC values and I want to pass these to windows OS to handle them further. The intention is that a game will see this as a joystick and can use the analog potmeters as joystick axis. I've done some reading about writing a device driver, but how do I make windows see my device as a joystick? Any help is much appreciated. I'm working mainly with C#.

Well, it is not the serial part that forms any difficulties. But I have this value of a Potmeter, which I aquired through a serial device, that I want to use as a joystick axis in games. So I want to pass this value to windowsXP so that it treats this as a joystick-axis. In other words, how do I simulate a joystick is connected which I can pass this value to in windows. I hope this is more clear what I mean.

Ah. Once you've acquired the coordinates from the pot, set the Cursor.Position property to move the cursor.

I do not want to control the mouse-cursor via a joystick, but I want joystick input like normal when a joystick is attached to the gameport. Now I have potmeters via a serial device which I want to use as the axis. How do I make windows see my joystick axis so I can use them in a game that supports DirectInput for joystick input.

Hi,
Is there any way to programmatically open the Shell file/folder properties dialog for a given file? Is it possible to open this dialog to a given tab?
Thanks,

Yes.[^] 
[edit]
Sorry - I was hasty in posting this note. See this[^] link instead. You'll need to convert the code to C#.

Great! Thanks.
In case anyone else is interested, here's the code I came up with.
private const uint SW_SHOW = 5;
private const uint SEE_MASK_INVOKEIDLIST = 0xC;
private struct SHELLEXECUTEINFO
{
public int cbSize;
public uint fMask;
public IntPtr hwnd;
public string lpVerb;
public string lpFile;
public string lpParameters;
public string lpDirectory;
public uint nShow;
public uint hInstApp;
public string lpIDList;
public string lpClass;
public IntPtr hkeyClass;
public IntPtr dwHotKey;
public IntPtr hIcon;
public IntPtr hProcess;
}
[DllImport("shell32.dll")]
private static extern long ShellExecuteEx(ref SHELLEXECUTEINFO s);
public static void DisplayFileProperties(string path)
{
SHELLEXECUTEINFO shInfo = new SHELLEXECUTEINFO();
shInfo.lpFile = path;
shInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW;
shInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_INVOKEIDLIST;
shInfo.lpVerb = "properties";
shInfo.cbSize = Marshal.SizeOf(shInfo);
ShellExecuteEx(ref shInfo);
}

AFAIK, the config file only stores strings. You could easily convert the color to a numeric value and store its string representation (name or RGB values) and do the reverse on the way out.

How to convert a Color object to and from a string, for storing somewhere, has already been answered in your previous post regarding saving this value to the registry.
Please check there first. Once you understand this, the question of how to write it/read it to some form of configuration file is easy, and should be explained in the article linked above.

This just baffles me!
I know it is something simple and right under my nose but cant figure it out
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MessageBox.Show(args[0]);
}
How do i pass in arguments prior to running this program.

1) Create a link, and add them to the textbox that points to your program
C:\Programs\MyFile.exe -parameter1 -parameter2
2) Open the command prompt and do the same:
> MyFile.exe -parameter1 ...
3) In Visual Studio:
Menu: "Project -> [Program] properties..."
Then on the left: "Debug" and in the middle: "Command line arguments"
There are plenty of other possibilities, but these are the most common ones.

Alternatively, create a shortcut to your application and edit the shortcut by Right-clicking and selecting properties.
On the 'Shortcut' tab, just add the arguments you want in the target box so:
Target: "C:\program files\my app\my app.exe"
would become:
Target: "C:\program files\my app\my app.exe" myArgument1 myArgument2
This way you can setup different shortcuts that each pass different arguments.
Hope this helps.
