HEllo,
I think best practice would be implementing "System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize" in your control.
public class YourUserControl : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize
This interface has two methods:
BeginInit()
EndInit()
The designer will call the EndInit method at the end of InitializeComponets (means all the properties are set).
((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.yourUserControl1)).EndInit();
Your UserControl just needs a boolean flag wich tells the properties when EndInit was called.
And as an init call a method which does the validation:
private bool initReady = false;
private int _aInt=0;
public int AInt
{
get
{
return _aInt;
}
set
{
if(value!=_aInt)
{
_aInt= value;
if(initReady)
{
DoStuffWithAandB();
}
}
}
}
private int _bInt=0;
public int BInt
{
get
{
return _bInt;
}
set
{
if(value!=_bInt)
{
_bInt= value;
if(initReady)
{
DoStuffWithAandB();
}
}
}
}
private void DoStuffWithAandB()
{
if(AInt < BInt)
{
}
}
#region ISupportInitialize Member
public void BeginInit()
{
}
public void EndInit()
{
initReady=true;
DoStuffWithAandB();
}
#endregion
Hope it helps!
All the best,
Martin

I guess it will vety helpfull.But I am sorry that I am only a beginer from C++ to C#.
I come up such problem in my work.I need a usercontrol,I insert some properties to the control,but some properties could dependent on some others,like my real code(I paste it in anoter reply).
Thanks all the same,But would like to tell me if there is another way to do so?

Hello!
I don't think there is a nicer solution for that.
You would have to set a bool Flag for every property, to see if it was initialized.
Which is dirty, and if you use the "[DefaultValue(1)]" Attribute (which would be good practice, as it is not neccessary that the designer adds code for a property which doesn't change it's value), it would not work!
I would recommend to go threw my example again, add your validation from the setter of your property to the method, and call this method if the EndInit flag is true.
All the best,
Martin

That is unknown to me. I have not seen it in the documentation, so I would
hesitate very much relying on it.
Anyhow, I fail to see where it is relevant to your code.
Both members _A and _B get initialized, there is no property involved in that.
If you now start using the properties, _A and _B have their values.
If you really have a problem, something going wrong give exact symptoms
(compile errors, run-time exceptions, or ist/soll values)

there is the real code:
namespace Test2
{
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private int m_xBlocks = 1;
public int xBlocks
{
get { return this.m_xBlocks; }
 set { if (value > 0) this.m_xBlocks = value; }
}
private int m_BarWidth = 10;
public int BarWidth{
get { return this.m_BarWidth; }
set{
if (value > 0 && value < (100 / this.xBlocks))//or this.m_xBlocks
this.m_BarWidth = value;
}
}
}
}
|
|
|
|

That's a nice piece of code (it would even look better on this forum
when inside PRE tags).
Now how about "If you really have a problem, something going wrong give exact
symptoms (compile errors, run-time exceptions, or ist/soll values)" ?

What are ist/soll values?
"More functions should disregard input values and just return 12. It would make life easier." - comment posted on WTF

ist is what it currently is, and soll is what it should be.
These are German terms, quite handy, and often used in some technical branches
(such as control engineering), no matter what language is being used.

Thanks. They'll go into my next test plan...

What no one has pointed out is that it really isn't good practice to have properties that depend on the internal state of another property specifically for the reason that you can't control the order they will be set by the end user.
For what you are trying to do, using a method that takes 2 parameters would be better. Inside the method, you can set the internal variables in the correct order and then perform your calculations. If you still need access to the parameter values after the function exits, change the properties to read-only.

yes,perhaps should be.
But sometimes I really have to make some properties dependent on others.
For example,I am writing a 3-D bar chart component,the bar width would depend on block width of the x-aix(I mean that no matter how width the bar you set,it should not wider than the block width,but the block width even depend on the block count of the x-aix).
Thanks

Hi,
I am working on a Zebra Printer (110XiIII Plus) and trying to print custom labels using a C# application, but am having no progress in printing graphics i.e. images. I am using the latest driver also.
I have a BMP file that needs to be printed. I tried to print using the PCX format, but even that didn't work.
I read in the documentation that the ~DY command can be used to send a bitmap to the printer and then recall it from the printer's memory and print it.But even that hasn't worked.
The command I am using is ~DYE:123.BMP,B,B,4096,,
Where 123.BMP is my file which is 13x13 and 4096 is the size in bytes. Is this correct or am i missing something or doing wrong!??
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Sharath M

First off Zebra printers are kind of a pain, but they do work pretty good. I guess my first question would be have you loaded the 123.bmp on the zebra printer? In my previous job, there was a lot of custom code to load all the images onto the zerbra so those commands would work. My current job, we use crystal reports and embed images into the report and that seems to work just fine.
Hope that helps.

Hello...
I have a resx file and that file has about 1000 entries.
Some entries are not used. How to find out, which entries are not used ?
Instead of search it manually using "Find All References".
Thanks...
|
|
|
|
|
how run application(program) in task(background)
and how how close process program
|
|
|
|
|
I think if you search on the Process object and process.Start(program) You will find all the info you need.
Hope that helps.

Hi,

No API needed!
Just override WndProc method like this:
const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x112;
const int SC_MAXIMIZE2 = 0xF032;
protected override void WndProc( ref Message m )
{
if( m.Msg == WM_SYSCOMMAND )
{
if( m.WParam.ToInt32() == SC_MAXIMIZE2 )
{
return;
}
}
base.WndProc( ref m );
}
Hope it helps!

Thank you very much Martin its working.

You are wellcome!

If you talking about C# you do not need API for this, just set to false the MaximizeBox property for the Form object.

I've a simple function:
<code>
private void BuildTree()
{
TreeNode rootNode = new TreeNode("Root");
TreeNode node1 = new TreeNode("Child 1");
TreeNode node11 = new TreeNode("Child 11");
TreeNode node12 = new TreeNode("Child 12");
node1.Nodes.Add(node11);
node1.Nodes.Add(node12);
rootNode.Nodes.Add(node1);
TreeNode node2 = new TreeNode("Child 2");
rootNode.Nodes.Add(node2);
TreeNode node3 = new TreeNode("Child 3");
rootNode.Nodes.Add(node3);
treeView1.Nodes.Add(rootNode);
if (!rootNode.IsExpanded)
{
rootNode.Expand();
}
}
</code>
My problem is:
If I create a new Winforms application, the expand function does its work, but if the same function is written into a .dll where the treeview is on a usercontrol, expand does nothing. I mean the node doesn't expands so I have to click on '+' to do it.
I use the same function at each time.
Any guess?

Just a guess but the difference may be at what point you call this function. Probably your test app already shows the treeview when calling the function while your usercontrol calls the function before the tree is visible.
I don't think it has anything to do with the user control as I already used Expand on TreeViews within user controls.
