Option 2)
Create your form like normal.
Go to your application main entry point(usually in program.cs ) which should look something like this:
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
And change it to:
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
//Application.Run(frm);
Form1 frm = new Form1();
if (-put your test here-)
{
frm.Show();
}
do
{
System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents();
} while (!frm.IsDisposed);
}
}
Oh, btw while looking for the best way to test the form i also ran across this in the VS2005 MSDN:
"How to: Make a Startup Windows Form Invisible "
ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/MS.NETFramework.v20.en/dv_mancli/html/98792c58-ec32-4086-8a62-c101c0cc4e88.htm

Hi,
Briefly. FormMain has a single button to spawn Form A. Form A allows to user to do work, submits request to server, upon return auto prints the results.
The problem : After the print, FormMain pops to the top and takes focus, but I want Form A to remain in focus after the print.
FormMain has no functions (that I made) that is called from Form A.
If I step through it in debug mode, focus seems to remain on Form A.
I've tried Focus() and Activate() after the print, but still FormMain takes focus.
Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

This Google search[^] comes up with some good stuff. First one is here on CP. Hope this helps you out

None of the examples I found via googling actually were complete or bug free. Actually getting one to fully work was almost a weeks worth of pain. If I could do it over again, I'd've used a listview since it has more built in drag/drop support. I managed to get a drag/drop demo working with it in under a day with less than a month of language experiance.

hi
i was create a new instance of thread class and pass to it a method(with 1 parameter) and start then pass it's argument to method by this code :
//my method that get 1 argument
private void ShowWaitForm(string message)<br />
{<br />
Frm_Waiting fw = new Frm_Waiting();<br />
fw.label1.Text = message;<br />
fw.ShowDialog();<br />
}
// error in this line
System.Threading.Thread th = new System.Threading.Thread(this.ShowWaitForm);<br />
th.Start("Please Wait ...");
but the following error show me :
The best overloaded method match for 'System.Threading.Thread.Thread(System.Threading.ThreadStart)' has some invalid arguments
and :
Argument '1': cannot convert from 'method group' to 'System.Threading.ThreadStart'
i was compile and run it without any problem 2 hours ago but now has error,
how to solve my problem ?

1. You need to use a ParameterizedThreadStart:
System.Threading.Thread th = new System.Threading.Thread(new System.Threading.ParameterizedThreadStart(this.ShowWaitForm));
This allows your thread to run a Method that takes in a parameter and then start like you have done, but . . .
2. You need to change the interface of ShowWaitForm from
private void ShowWaitForm(string message)
to
private void ShowWaitForm(object message)
The delegate used by the ParameterizedThreadStart object references a function of type void that takes in an object as a parameter. You're giving it a function of type void that takes in a string instead. Once you've gotten this to work just cast the object to a string inside of ShowWaitForm.

I need to insert a special charater into the RichTextBox onclick a button.
But, if i did something like this:
richtextbox1.Text += "©";
The charater © will get added to towards the end of the richtextbox document, not where the IBeam (or the cursor) is pointing to.
How can i insert simple text at the exact position the Ibeam or the cursor is standing inside the richtextbox1 ?
|
|
|
|
|
I tried this code (onclick insert button)
MessageBox.Show("Top : " + richtextbox1.Cursor.Size.Height);
MessageBox.Show("Left : " + richtextbox1.Cursor.Size.Width);
But this kept giving me:
Top : 24
Left : 24
No matter where the Ibeam/cursor was...
|
|
|
|
|
that's giving you the size of the cursor, which should be apparent from the name. I'm just looking at the intelisence, might the rtb.SelectionStart property be what you want?

BRILLIANT!
i had no idea rtb had a variable like that
i used this to test it:
int pos = EditingArea.SelectionStart;
MessageBox.Show("Last Line : " + pos);
It always showed the exact position the IBeam/Cursor was at.
Now here comes my second problem, how do u insert the special char at the rtb.SelectionStart?
|
|
|
|
|
I tried to do something like this:
rtb.SelectionStart = rtb.SelectionStart + rtb.SelectionLength;
rtb.Text += "©";
This still doesn't help. Should i use rtb.Text.Insert(); ?

I think im almost there
this code always shows the exact position my IBeam/Cursor is standing on
int pos = rtb.SelectionStart + rtb.SelectionLength;
So, i thought i cud use it to insert the special char using the Text.Insert(); method:
rtb.Text.Insert(pos, "©");
Even this isnt working... why is it so hard to set position of text insertion? Im running out of ideas, can someone please help me out here... i did way too many trial and error and i still haven't found any solution yet...
|
|
|
|
|
1 hour wasted and i finally worked it out
this.richTextBox1.SelectedText = "©";
so simple... wish they had some sort of "how-to" document/wiki for each components such as richtextbox

Hi All,
My C# - VS2005 Application occasionally gives the NullReferenceException when the application is being debugged in Relase mode. It occurs when the program is left idle in debug mode for a long time around 30min.
Any idea why such an error could occur?
Please find the call-stack of the error.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way in C# to do a reverse find?
I have an address that i am parsing say:
124 Modal Street SpringField MO 11222
I start from the back and get the zip and state cause that is more common.
From there, i would just like to grab the city by getting a start index of the space before "SpringField". Can i do that from reverse like this?
|

You might want to consider using Regular Expressions to parse things like addresses

Use the LastIndexOf method on the string. You can use it to search from the end of the string, or from a specific character index, towards the beginning of the string.

You could use the Split method on the string. It would pass back an array of strings. Then you can look at the last value in the array for zipcode etc.

it's a quite large amount of code: please note that the compiler reports the line number where error occurs (and also the IDE helps you to locate the error).
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

Error1 is telling you that something is declared where it's not allowed to be. The first variables in your code
private string[] tx_data = new string[14];
private string[] rx_data = new string[10];
public int i;
need to be moved so that they're declared inside of your class Form1. This also generates Error2 and Error3, so fix the first one and you fix them all.
On an unrelated note, the arrays tx_data and rx_data are being indexed using parentheses - tx_data(0) = "R" - which is incorrect. They need to be indexed with brackets instead: tx_data[0] = "R"
