I need help in making a small program
I am trying to make a program that sits on the desktop never on top of anything unless it is called that is like a start button. when clicked it will open the start menu.
The only this is I need help getting the actual code that will bring it up.
Yesterday I saw a piece of code that will tell the computer that ctr + esc has been pressed when you click on it and it will open it up at where you click but it was in visual basic and I know C#

Post a link and some of us can help translate it if needbe if it does exactly what you want.

I can't seem to find it again... dang I shoulda wrote that down...
but while I was trying to find it I found this too:
Visual basic (missing the link)
Private Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP =
a delphi code peice:
http://delphi.about.com/cs/adptips2000/a/bltip1100_5.htm[^]
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject) ;
begin
SendMessage(Form1.handle,
WM_SYSCOMMAND,
SC_TASKLIST,0) ;
end;
mabye I should learn how to give the computer a command saying ctrl + esc was pressed and to open it at the mouse.

You'll might be able to override the WndProc method of a form to do what you want, otherwise you can set up a global hook (articles here on CP about how to do that) but I don't think that you can use keys already in use, for example Ctrl+Esc, Start+R.

I am trying to open a filestream and have read only access to who ever tries to open the file after it has already been opened. This is the code I am using:
m_oFileStreamTest = new FileStream(l_szLocation, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.Read);
m_oZipFile = new ZipFile(m_oFileStreamTest);
This is the error I get when the second user tries to open the file:
"The process cannot access the file
'C:\..\...\..me.apts.resource.rld' because it is being used by another process"
What am I doing wrong?

Once you open the file for the first time you only permit others to read the file. But the file is being opened for read AND write, so it fails.

How do I go about doing it then, so that the first person to use it gets Read and Write access?
|
|
|

The first person to access the file can request anything they like (assuming also the the file permissions allow it - e.g. a file can be marked as readonly in the file system). It is the subsequent requests that are restricted by what the first has allowed. Obviously when the first person releases the file the next person can request what they like.

Easy. Handle the error in a Try/Catch block. If the open fails, try to open the file again using FileAccess.Read.

Hi,
FileAccess tells what the caller wants for itself, FileShare tells what the caller
allows others to do...
In order to help you make the right choices, you need to provide more information:
- is it two different programs that need access ? (if so, are you in charge of both
of them ?) or is it two instances of the same program ?
- does one program only need to be able to read, or do you want both to be able to
write ? if so, any idea what may happen when both decide to write ? how do you think
you will cope with that ? (what will keep them from creating an inconsistent
bunch of bytes ?).

The following is what I am trying to prevent:
The server is currently accessing a file and a user goes to get that same file. Currently if I do nothing what will happen is the user will access that file without knowing that they are in read only and when they go to save it will crash.
So I want a message to pop up when you open the file to let you know you are read only, and when they go to save they get another message saying they can't save the file but takes them to a Save As window.

That sounds simple enough:
1. on user open, first try open in Mode.readwrite, if that fails, try open in Mode.read
and alert user
2. on user save, try save the file, if that fails, try to "save as".
I dont see the problem. If coded correctly, a save never "crashes".
Things to keep in mind:
1. you need a try-catch for each operation that might fail (each try in above text)
2. dont carry any file state information from 1. (try to open) to 2. (try to save) since
there is no need to, and the state may have changed anyhow.
3. Dont forget to always Dispose() or Close() things that need it (such as FileStreams).

I am doing .Net Remoting and i get following exception what can be the reason?
1. Interface

Client.cs
<br />
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />

bool ensureSecurity = true;<br />

dept = (DeptInterface)Activator.GetObject(typeof(DeptInterface), "tcp://KPTEST1:8080/CustServer");<br />
if (dept == null)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show("TCP SERVER OFFLINE ...PLEASE TRY LATER");<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
dept.Init();
MessageBox.Show("TEST2");<br />
}<br />
It gives exception at dept.Init() ? What can be the reason please help me...

I'm guessing that just by the error message the other machine you're connecting to doesn't want to be connected. A firewall perhaps?
|
|
|
|

Ed, I am doing on the same machine localhost.
By the way when i removed ChannelRegistry from Client.cs I am getting now following exception:
System.Runtime.RemotingException: Requested Service not found
at dept.Init() method.

I don't see anywhere in your server code where you setup the Tcp Channel that you are trying to use in the client.
|
|
|
|

Sorry it was in Server Form_Load method.
<br />
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
<br />
TcpServerChannel tsc = new TcpServerChannel(8080);<br />
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(tsc);<br />
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof(CustServer), "CUSTOMER_SERVER2", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);<br />
textBox1.Text = "SERVER RUNNING ..";<br />
textBox1.ReadOnly=true;<br />
<br />
}

I don't think you can register a "CustServer" and then in the client Activate a "DeptInterface".
Also with Remoting, I recommend using namespaces.

|

so please tell me the way... I will be very thankful to you.
