Can I generate ActiveX Document From C#?

24-Mar-02 21:22

You need to add the control to its parent's Controls collection.

In WinForms and ASP.NET this.Controls.Add( filtergrid ); assuming this is the form or page class that the grid will be added to.

Yes, you should be able to.

I assume an ActiveX Document is just a COM object with some standard interfaces implemented.

You can use COM interop to expose your C# class as a COM object, however clients will need the .NET framework installed in order to use your "COM" object.

Hi,

why does this code produce a rectangle 6x6 (seen by zooming on a screen capture) ?

Pen pen = new Pen(Color.FromArgb(255,0,0),1);
pen.Alignment = PenAlignment.Inset; // Same with center
graphics.DrawRectangle(pen,10,10,5,5);

It gives :

******
*====*
*====*
*====*
*====*
******

(* means a red pixel, = means a background pixel)

If I give a width of 2, then the red rectangle is correctly drawn in a 5x5 pixels rectangle.

Thanks

Nicolas

Charles Petzold pointed this out in his Programming Microsoft Windows with C# book so I assume it is a known issue.

I don't think anything will be done about it though because to change it would break a lot of code at the source level (side by side versioning protects already built binaries but alas, it doesn't protect source level breaking).

I'm not sure why a pen with width of 2 would change that, unless the alignment is what is causing it.

BTW if you want a red pen of width 1 you could just use Pen pen = Pens.Red; Smile | :)

Thanks a lot for the useful information.
I find incredible that such a bug exists and it won't be corrected.

Int32.Parse(myString); if it throws an exception the string wasn't an integer Smile | :)

Quick solution is to look for and use the masked edit C# control here on CP; secondary solution is to take the code it uses (the Key* events) and handle those the same way.

I have a problem.
I have a Mouse-down handler for a list box.
The problem is that the list box's selected item wont change till my handler has exited.
Lets say the list box contains two items
----------
|apple |
|orange | <- selected
----------

Now if I click on apple and do a :-
MessageBox.Show(listbox.SelectedItem.ToString())

I still get orange. Next time I click I get apple.
What happens is that my handler gets called and only afterwards does the real handler gets called which changes the selected item index.

Now how do call the default handler

something like calling the base class handler

Regards

Why are you using MouseDown? Why not just use click? The problem with MouseDown is that a "click" hasnt happened until the mouse has been released, ie, MouseUp.

To illustrate, if you hold your mouse down on a list box and move the mouse up and down, the selection will change. Thus lifting the mousebutton "locks in" the item that is selected.

Having said all of that, there may in fact be a way, i havent tried :p

You could always just use a simple hit-test to find out the item under the cursor. Assuming all of the items are the same height (ie, not OwnerDrawVariable) you could use :

private void listBox1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
	int iItem = (e.Y / listBox1.ItemHeight) + listBox1.TopIndex;
	if (iItem > listBox1.Items.Count - 1)
	{
		lblCount.Text = "none";
	}
	else
	{
		lblCount.Text = listBox1.Items[iItem].ToString();
	}
}
