I can't help you with setting priorities to messages. But I doubt you're going the right course with that anyway.
I think another solution would be to use timeSetEvent/timeKillEvent as mentioned by Luc and just use one for each control. But don't have it fire off periodically unless needed. So if you're sprite is idle, don't fire off any timers. If you're sprite is moving, have a timer tick at a reasonable interval until you're sprite is done moving. This way no unnecessary events will need to be processed.
I'm not sure how windows likes it if you have a massif amount of sprites with timers, but I guess you don't need to worry about that right now.
Another solution might be to have one timer (again with a reasonable interval), which basically is you refresh all event. On that event you can check the position and shape of all controls and redraw them in one go. This will probably generate quite some messages at that time, but probably a lot less compared to having a tick every 5ms.

Hi,
I have several comments:
1.
You can ask a timer to tick every 5 msec, that does not mean it will do that. Read my
timer article!
2.
If you use a Windows.Forms.Timer you will get ticks on the UI thread automatically,
saving half of the messages and avoiding the need for an explicit Invoke()
3.
PictureBox is not my favorite Control, it has limited functionality and unknown overhead.
4.
I guess your painting action is too expensive; I would suggest to optimise the paint
action, possibly by reducing the number of controls. In general the lightweight approach
gives the maximum performance, in its extreme form it means ypu use one Control (a Panel),
do all keyboard/mouse event dispatching yourself, and organize the paint event yourself,
carefully watching the invalidate region. IMO just adding lots of Controls is not the right
way to create a game.

Have you figured this out yet? You may want to try using stored procedures to return MORNING,EVENING to the datagrid...

Hi,
how to storing instance of object in a class?
|
|
|
|
|
Create a class-level variable of the type of object you want to store.
If necessary, add property get/set accessors to your class to retrieve/update your object.

Hi,
In my DataGridView component there are two columns that have to be transparent when they are selected. Becouse these cells are CheckBox cells and their backgorund colors are important, I want that background color will be visible when they are selected.
The problem is while they are selected, if I minimize program to taskbar and maximize again, these cells background color remain same with the desktop. After changing selection they are repainted and become normal. Also at first run, the same problem occurs.
Do you have any solution or idea?
Thanks.

Hi Guys and Gals.
I have never in my life before worked with Windows Services. I have an urgent project where I must create a Windows Service to Export data from a DB to another DB every 5 min. If anyone could give me guidance on this it will be greatly appreciated. I just dont know where to start or go about doing this.
Please help.

Hi Elizma,
I think first you need to make some test application in window services with timer. Two many article posted on web you can go through via google or you can find below link:
http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/C-Sharp/Timer-Objects-in-Windows-Services-with-C-sharp-dot-NET/
After that if you have any problem then you can discuss with us.

Hi guys.
I am struggling in one point whether the values in an xml document can be converted in to a Generic List<t>. ie. when i will read an xml document, it will return a List<t>.I am converting the xml to a Generic List<t> because i have go through 3 tier architecture.
If possible please give me some Urls(sites) where i can get some idea.

Why do you need a list for 3 tier architecture? This is by no means a requirement of good n-tier design.

Hello everyone,
With a C# made software, I create an Excel file with many sheets. Everything
goes well until I tried to remove PageBreaks.
I can add them but I can't delete them so I still have the automatic one
appearing there ...
I tried a lot of things such as:
Range AutoVPageBreaks=ExcelWorksheet1.VPagesBreaks[1].Location;<br />
AutoVPageBreaks.PageBreaks=XlPageBreaks.XlPageBreakNone;
or
VPageBreak VPB1= ExcelWorksheet1.VPagesBreaks[1];<br />
VPB1.Delete();
--> This one raised an error
I also tried to add before ResetPageBreaks() or DisplayPageBreaks=false but
nothing worked ... I still have the automatic pagebreaks ...
Does someone know howw to remove those pagebreaks? Do I need to set the
sheet to printpreview? If so, how? (I tried but that raised an error)
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.

My ListBox Contents are in the form
index. itemName
1. Jack
2. Jane
3. Joe
4. Bill
5. Tim
6. Sid
On removing say Jane I need to get the index of others in proper numerical order. Now ListBox Control only allows me access to the currently selectedItem via its selectedItem property but I need access to all the Items so that I can change them...
Any Advice...
Thanks
Please excuse if this is a very basic question. I'm pretty new to C#.
After Removal the above should become
1. Jack
2. Joe
3. Bill
4. tim
5. Sid

If you iterate through the Items collection, you get the zero based index of the item.

Yes I can do that as
IEnumerator enm = this.list.Items.GetEnumerator();
int i = 0;
//Get to The Desired Location
for(i = 0; i < index; i ++ )
{
enm.MoveNext();
}
//Here I can Get Individual Items
for(i = index; i < list.Items.Count; i ++)
{
String entry = enm.Current.ToString();
String newData = doSomething(entry);
// Now Here I Need to Set the Changed Data to ith Position in the List
// cannot Do enm.Current = newData as Current is a readonly Property of IEnumerator
}
Any More Advice...

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here. This has gone beyond the scope of your original query. Perhaps you could elaborate a bit.

Sorry about confusing anybody. Here is what I want
My Playlist is displayed in ListBox named list
with contents
1. SongABc
2. Song Dev
3. Vid34
4. Clip5
5. ABC and so on
I need to delete an item from that
for that I'm doing
this.list.Items.RemoveAt(index);
Now I need to update the IndexNumber of each entry in the Playlist so that after deleting "Vid34"
My list shows
1. SongABc
2. Song Dev
3. Clip5
4. ABC and so on
I can READ ALL items of list as
IEnumerator enm = this.list.Items.GetEnumerator();
int i = 0;
for(i = 0; i < index; i ++ )
enm.MoveNext();
//Now I'm at the place where I Delete the Entry
//all the Following Items need to update their Numerical Index Decremented by one
for(i = index; i < list.Items.Count; i ++)
{
String entry = enm.Current.ToString();
String newVal = getNewVal(entry); // Strip Index Value so that "4. Clip5 becomes just Clip5"
//Here I need to set the Current Entry with new Val something like
this.list.itemAt(i) = newVal; // But no such method exists
neither can I do
enm.Current = newVal; // Because it is a readonly property
}
I can clear my playlist and readd everything but that would be waste of resources

Aah. I see what you're getting at. Well, the simple way to do it would be to use list.Items[i] = newVal; in the loop. You can simplify the logic quite a lot:
for (int i = 0; i < list.Items.Count; i++)
{
string entry = enm.Current.ToString();
list.Items[i] = getNewVal(entry);
}
