If you are doing the generation, surely you'd know the folder where it's being generated.

Zzzz wrote:

You can concatenate the folder where you generate them with their file names and pass this string to the File.Delete function

This is my sample code:

private void btnBold_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	Font oldFont;
	Font newFont;
				
	// Get the font that is being used in the selected text
	oldFont = this.rtfText.SelectionFont;

	// If the font is using bold style at the moment, we should remove it
	if (oldFont.Bold)
	       newFont = new Font(oldFont, oldFont.Style & ~FontStyle.Bold);
	else
        	newFont = new Font(oldFont, oldFont.Style | FontStyle.Bold);

	// Insert the new font
	this.rtfText.SelectionFont = newFont;
	this.rtfText.Focus();
}

Thanks!
In fact, I have several user controls, each one with different controls inside. I would like to create a loop for each user control, to go through inside controls one by one, no matter how many in there, and what they are, try to set readonly to true, catch exceptions if there is no such property. But such as combobox, does not have this property, but I still need to set it to readonly, how can I do it, and do you think this loop methodoligy will work?
Thanks a lot!

Getting the windows key

I have an idea for a program that would run in the background and then, when the user presses the windows key (in any application), it would come to the foreground.

Anyone know how I can do this?

ComboBox ReadOnly?

How to make Combobox, Radio buttons (group) read only?
Thanks!

Re: ComboBox ReadOnly?

I know that the RadioButton has an "AutoCheck" property. Setting that to "false" will make it so that the radio button won't change state when the user clicks on it.

I don't know how to make a ComboBox read only. Hopefully some of the more experienced developers will know.

Good luck.

Combo boxes are read-only by default! Even if they have that edit box on top [which is easily removed by changing the style], the actual contents of the combo cannot be changed. Of course if someone wants to make it un-clickable, he can make it disabled.

TreeView Problem

Serge R1-May-02 2:51

1-May-02 2:51

My problem is regarding the refresh of the controls in .net (tree view).

In MFC I had a tool that loaded up all the folders of a drive and there size. This was done with a tree view control, in the main loop where all the folders were read, after that the new folder was added to the control or any text was changed, I just process any pending messages and the end result was excellent.

But in .net when I do the exact same thing each time that I add a new node or change the text of an old node (to update the size of the folder) the entire tree view is redrawn, I get the nice flickering effect… I process any pending messages with the “Application.DoEvents()” function, is that my problem? Is it a property I have to change?? I mean why in MFC I didn’t have to take this in consideration but in .net I have to??? In MFC when I added a new node or change the text of a node it just updated that node.

I’m kind of disappointed. Frown | :(

Try enabling double buffering and see if that helps.

The cause of flicker is that you can see each part of the window being redrawn, starting with erasing the current contents. If you enable double-buffering all the drawing will be done off screen, then once the drawing is done it will draw that image to the screen.

Thanks...

Did MFC had the double-buffering embedded in the controls? I never heard of double-buffering for MFC controls and they never flickered...

James T. Johnson1-May-02 7:50

Don't know, both are wrappers around the Tree control provided by Windows so I would assume it wouldn't interfere too much.

I'm disappointed that I have to do extra stuff in .net to make the control look as they usually looked...

If you are adding many items, try using the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods on the TreeView.

Serge R1-May-02 7:48

It would work, but I want to see the list grow because I can take a while to read all the folders on a drive and I want browse them while the rest is loading.
