hmmm, told you my brain wasn't working....

i should have used picLayout.Image rather than picLayout.BackgroundImage.

it was throwing an unhandled exception (which confused me as tried to catch it but it was happening before it got to my try/catch) over the lack of background image in the picturebox.

thanks, all working now, but it would be nice to be able to do this as a mouseover event rather than just mousedown. I just tried it as mouseover event and the cpu load kinda went a bit mad. Any thoughts ?

when i did it before it was fairly simple and something along the line imgName.R.ToString();

hi martin

just to pick your brains a little further.....it would be nice to be able to do this as a mouseover event rather than just mousedown. I just tried it as mouseover event and the cpu load kinda went a bit mad.

when i did it before it was fairly simple and something along the lines of imgName.R.ToString(); or something like that. is that something you've heard of ? I can access the RGB values for the background but obviously thats not much use (as its just grey) but it wont let do the same for the Image.

Any thoughts ?

Hi,

why would you need a new Bitmap in your MouseDown handler ?
This is what I would try:

public void HandleMouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
    Bitmap bm = picLayout.Image as Bitmap;
    string s= bm==null ? "Not a bitmap" : bm.GetPixel(e.X,e.Y).ToString();
    label2.Text = s;
}

And since this is a cheap operation now, you could try it in MouseHover handler also.

Smile | :)

hello everyone,
i m new in this discussion board,
I develop an application which handles the Word files, i use the class Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, this class has an object named application which contains the documents, the problem is when I turn my application in a specific machine, with closing the application, word.exe remains always in éxécution
, but in my machine all goes well,

to open a word document :

<br />
<br />
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document document;<br />
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document.ApplicationClass wd = null;<br />
wd = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass();<br />
 document = wd.Documents.Add(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);<br />
 <br />

to close the document and my application:

object dummy=null;<br />
object dummy2=(object)false;<br />
document.Close(ref dummy, ref dummy, ref dummy);<br />
wd.Quit(ref dummy2, ref dummy, ref dummy);<br />
 Marshal.ReleaseComObject(wd);<br />

how can we be sure that the application(winword.exe) is closed? Confused | :confused:

Thanx
Morad SAJID

I think this could all be done easely over the System.Diagnostics.Process class

All the best,

Remember that as soon as you open one of the programs of MS Office,
it starts a background process called WinWord.EXE. This is to help
decrease the load time for the Office framework. You can kill it without
harm. Unless you are actual doing something with Office.

God Bless,

how to identify the WinWord.exe process that i uses ?

Thanks
Morad

Morad SAJID18-Jul-07 6:38

18-Jul-07 6:38

Thanks

trough my application I want to create a new user and i want to create a new sqllogin for him in the database. To do this what i'm expecting is to create a new user login in the sql server with out login to the sql server, just using the codes of the application.So is this possible to do (I know it might be very advance).

From your code you will still have to log in as a user with admin rights in order to create a new login and user. The login information will go in the connection string (or it can be set to a trusted connection, in which case the user running the application will need the rights to create logins in the database)

You can run pretty much any SQL code through the SqlCommand object, so the commands will be the same.

OK - I give up. I really don't see why this would be voted 1. It answers the question without handholding this guy through a set of commands he probably wouldn't understand.
