creat a find tool in text editor?

1-Apr-06 0:37

Hi I have the following error:

Error 1 Inconsistent accessibility: field type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<u2.friend>' is less accessible than field 'u2.Prog.friends' C:\Documents and Settings\Ben\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\u2\u2\Prog.cs 21 29 u2

The Glob class is internal and the Prog class is public.

This is the code that causes the error:

if (Glob.Prog.friends.Count == 0)

cheers

Print preview not printing...

I have a print preview dialog that allways previsualates what is due to be printed. The previsualization work's fine, but the printing fails.
I think that this may occur because at the printing algortihm the document.Print(); is called again.
Is there any posibility to print directly the data previsualizated (into the control) without beeing necesary to recalculate (generate) it (through the document?

Hi
You can do this by deriving a class from PrintController.

When the dialog "prints" to generate the preview, save the metafiles produced. Then when the dialog "prints" to the printer, just return the saved images.

Nicholas wrote an article on how to get the meta files of the preview and store them as images. You can find it here[^]. You will have to redirect the meta files into a new print job.
Note that you nevertheless need another PrintDocument.Print cycle but you won't have to regenerate the output.

Thanks, exactly what I had to read before implementing an dirty method for obtaining the PageInfo from the preview control (reflection way). Didn't see the GetPreviewPageInfo() procedure. Smile | :)

If this is the case, (print preview is fine, print is not) then chances are you have some variables not reset somewhere, or set to the wrong value. I would suggest trying to figure out exactly what the problem is before "masking" the problem with another solution.

Windows Desktop Shortcut list

5-Apr-06 0:30

The problem was simple, I was doing a heavy print job, each page lasted for 1 sec to generate and there wore at least 10 pages. The request from the client was to be able to preview what is due to be printed. The solution I approched was this : into the print document I did a lot of heavy work ( the preview looked ok ) and in an inharited printPreviewDialog, on a print request, using reflection, I printed what was in the cache of the dialog (with out calling the document.Print() method again.

I think that the dialog I designed can be usefull, so I intend to create an article based on it, but not now, currently I am time pressed.

PS: thank you for your answer.

Hi all,

I would like to get a list of Windows Desktop Shortcut's so I can build a list (with associated icons). How can I do this and display the icon and trigger the app when the link is selected?

Thanks in advance.

Stephen

Probably you should get list of *.lnk files in desktop directory:
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop));
FileInfo[] fi = di.GetFiles("*.lnk");
Keep in mind, that system links (My computer, My Documents) has no lnk file.

Then, for each lnk file you should call shell function CreateShortcut:
IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShellClass ws = new IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShellClass();
IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut sc;
for (int i = 0; i < fi.Length; i++) {
sc = (IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut)ws.CreateShortcut(fi[i].FullName);
}

Don't forget to add reference to %system32%\wshom.ocx.

sc object will hold all information about link:
sc.TargetPath - link target
sc.Arguments - launch arguments
sc.IconLocation - string, that could be used to get icon.

These two articles could be helpful for icon extraction:
Win32
.NET

Hope it helps.

1) You don't need to select it to add nodes
2) treeView.Nodes[index].Nodes.Add(new TreeViewNode)

Hey
Basically I have a project with several forms which each need to access teh same instance of the Prog class. Where should I define this instance to make it visible to all forms?

Cheers

Hi
I create a Glob class ( Global is a keyword ), then create public static properties for global variables.

internal class Glob
{
    private Glob() { }
    private static Prog _Prog = null;
    public static Prog Prog { get { return _Prog; } set { _Prog = value; } }
}

Some people say that global variables are a bad thing, but like any construct, they are sometimes useful Smile | :)
