Re: Adding and Removing Form Controls Using Code

Hello,

Very nice idea to copy the instances in a seperate Collection instead of Cloning the Collection!
Never thought of this bevor!

Thanks for that!

All the best,

Martin

Umm. Iterate through the Controls collection of the Form and set the Parent to null for the control you want removed from the form.

here you are ... "Please"

by the way, you do not need to reply; instead of searching the form, I am going to keep a list of added controls, I will then iterate through my own list to drop the correct controls.

Thanks.

No need to be ironic and/or rude!

Thats a very good Idea!
I would use an ArrayList to hold the instances of the TextBoxes.
I would also be carefull, when iterating over an Collection and Removing an item out of this Collection.
For that, I would Clone the ArrayList and iterate over the Clone, cast each object to TextBox (with "as"), do my validation, and remove it from the original Collection!

All the best,

Martin

Seriously, if you can't write:

foreach(Control ctrl in form.Controls)
{
  if (ctrl.Tag==myTag)
  { 
     ctrl.Parent=null;
     break;
  }
}

Then I have to ask, what are you doing pretending to be a programmer?

Hi,

I am writing the user control,inside user control i am adding button
control. I have collection of buttons,button is geting added using property editor. I want user should not be able to move the button at design time (when user drops my user control on the Form)
I tried with Locked property of button but we can not set this property at run time.
How should i avoid the user to move the button??

Thanks,
Tushar

Hi,

I am adding buttons like this,the event is fired from onInsert of the CollectionBase derived class ButtonList

void _ButtonList_OnCustomButtonAdded(CustomButton newCustomButton)
{
int customButtonWidth = 0;
foreach (CustomButton customButton in _tabPagesList)
{
customButtonWidth = customButtonWidth +
customButton.Width;
}
newCustomButton.Left = customButtonWidth - newCustomButton.Width;
newCustomButton.LeftPos = customButtonWidth - newCustomButton.Width;
newCustomButton.Top = 0;
Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics();
float width = g.MeasureString(newCustomButton.Text, BoldTabFont).Width;
newCustomButton.Width = (int)width;
newCustomButton.Parent = this;
newCustomButton.Show();
newCustomButton.Click += new EventHandler(newCustomButton_Click);
newCustomButton.OnCustomButtonMouseDown += new CustomButton.CustomButtonMouseDown(newCustomButton_OnCustomButtonMouseDown);
this.Controls.Add(newCustomButton);
newCustomButton.BringToFront();
}

buttons added are movable at design time

Thanks,

As the class and the code that uses it are in separate namespaces, you either need a using statement to locate the namespace of the class, or you have to specify the complete namespace everytime you use the name of the class.

How to send Date as a DateTime Object?.

Hi,

I need to send startDate to a Service like following format.But I need to send it as a DateTime Object NOT like string format.So How do I send following Date with DateTime Object?

<startdate>2007-07-29T00:00:00.0000000+05:30

Please kindly reply me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

DateTime is a serializable class, and there is no issue sending it to the Services like "Remoting" server as a parameter of a interface function call.

Also, if you are trying to send it to the other service which has been written using C#, you can serialize the DateTime object and send it as "byte" data, and get it deserialized at the sever end.
