hi, i have a question. imagine i have a window form and in it i have a panel. now, i need to do a mousedown on the form and then mouseup in the panel. The idea here is to create a drag and drop action. However, the by creating those events, it does not seem to work because the mouseup event is never called although i click on the mouse on the form and then hold and finally release in the panel area.
What events should i use since this can''t work?

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just use the drag & drop functionality a form already supports.. It will save you a lot of headache!

Hello,

The trick is to handle the MouseUp from the form as well, and check if the Cursor is in the Panel range.

Point pt = yourPanel.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
Rectangle rc = yourPanel.ClientRectangle;
if (rc.Contains(pt))
{	
    //It's in the panels range
}

Hope it helps!

All the best,

Martin

Hi,

I am creating a developing screensaver in C#. I have done everything to create screensaver. Now I am stuck in a problem. How to create a scr file ? I have renamed the exe to scr. However, if I right click the scr file and select the install option, my antivirus prompts a suspicious activity. Any help on this ?

Thanks,

You don't need to install it!
Just copy it in the "Windows" directory.

Color GroupBox

Hi!

Is there some way to get the same color of the GroupBox Heading and put it on a Label? The color is different depending on which Xp theme you are using.

Enumeration System.Drawing.KnownColors contains all of the system defined colours. The Groupbox heading will be one of these - but you'd probably need to experiment to work out which one.

using System.Beer;

Ok, thanks but how do get access to the color
I can not set label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.KnownColor.something

error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Drawing.KnownColor' to 'System.Drawing.Color'

Re: Color GroupBox

Hello,

The Color class provides the static FromKnownColor[^] method.

label1.ForeColor = Color.FromKnownColor(System.Drawing.KnownColor.something);

All the best,

Martin

Or you could use the SystemColors class.

Either way, you should seriously consider using MSDN. Sometimes, reading the manual can actually help.

using System.Beer;

It is not in the there, I listed all the colors from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.knowncolor.aspx[^] and compred them. There are only a few of them that change when you change theme and non of them maches the color of the GroupBox Heading. Other suggestions?

Then you have to use visual styles stuff to get the answer:-

using System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles;

....

VisualStyleRenderer vr = new VisualStyleRenderer( VisualStyleElement.Button.GroupBox.Normal);
Color cr = vr.GetColor(ColorProperty.TextColor);

using System.Beer;

You have to use deletegates. To use it you must declare a void method that accepts a string as a input parameter, and a delegate with the same parameters and return.

Then, when you want change the text you must create the previous created delegate and pass the method name as parameter. Then you call form's "Invoke" with the delegate the string (inside of an array of objects) if Invoking is required.

//Declarations <br />
protected delegate void ChangeFormTextCallback(string pText);<br />
<br />
public void ChangeFormText(string pText)<br />
{<br />
this.Text = pText;<br />
}<br />
<br />
//Use<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
ChangeFormTextCallback oCllBack = new ChangeFormTextCallback(ChangeFormText);<br />
if (this.InvokeRequired)<br />
{<br />
    this.Invoke(oCllBack , new object[] {"New Text"});<br />
}<br />
else<br />
    voControl.Text = vsTexto;<br />
...

just to add, if you are using multi threaded windows applications it is good practice to do this whenever updating the screen. it forces the method to be called on the main thread, which is marked in you app by the tag [STAThread].

AppDomain.Unload() problem

I´m trying to dynamically load and unload assembly. The load part works just fine, but there are some problems with the unload part. It seems that the calling assembly didn´t release the dynamically loaded assembly, because I can´t recompile it.

Here is sample of my code:

AppDomain ad = AppDomain.CreateDomain("TestDomain");
Assembly a = ad.Load(Assembly.LoadFile(@"D:\Test.dll").GetName());
.
.
some code
.
.
AppDomain.Unload(ad);

Can anyone help me with this?

Did your app really exit ? or does it still show in Task Manager ? (probably because one
of its foreground threads did not finish, because it isnt done yet, or you forgot to make
it a background thread).

Hello All,

I am trying to call a method through thread . it is working if the method does not contain any parameter, if it has got a parameter then it will pop up error stating that method name expected.

Am i missing something here to perform this action.

Thanks

you need to use the ParameterizedThreadStart delegate which is part of the Threading namespace in .NET 2.0.

i.e

public void RunThread()
{
 int parameter = 20;
 Thread t = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(SampleMethodWithParameters));
 t.Start(parameter);
}


private void SampleMethodWithParameters(object parameter)
{
 for(int index = 0; index < Convert.ToInt32(parameter); index++)
 {
   Console.WriteLine("HelloWorld " + index.ToString());
   Thread.Sleep(1000);
 }
}</code>

edit:
no idea why my half my FOR loop is being displayed but hopefully that should give you an idea.
