If a rectangle is a target object, then create a Label control with no text and BorderStyle set to Single. Then handle KeyDown event of the parent Form.
If you are going to expand graphics, then use GDI (Graphics.DrawRectangle(...);), however in such case you will have to invalidate a form in this rectangle (this.Invalidate(rect);) (Another way a rectangle would leave it's trace after a movement).

Hi,
there are four steps to draw something so it becomes visible on the screen:
1.
decide on what object you want to draw; it normally is a Control (e.g. a Panel) or a
Form itself. I prefer to add a Panel to a Form, then draw on the Panel.
2.
create some variables (Rectangle, struct, class, whatever) that hold the parameters of
your drawing. In your case that could be top and left coordinate, and width+height,
or just a Rectangle.
3.
create a Paint handler for that Panel, and do all your drawing in there, using the
Graphics class and your variables.
4.
when you want to animate things, modify the variables and call Panel.Invalidate() or
one of its overloads (for selective invalidation).
BTW: if you need to create some objects (Fonts, Pens, Brushes, ...) either keep them
alive in class members (hence create them only once); or create them inside the Paint
handler and don't forget to call Dispose() on them.

I get this error using this code :
string strSQL = "";
if (klantID > 0)
{
strSQL = "INSERT...";
}
else
{
strSQL = "UPDATE...";
}
The error is on the line where the update-query is assigned to strSQL.
What's the reason I get this error ?
|
|
|
|
|
I don't see how that code can produce that error. Is this the actual code you are using?
|
|
|
|
|
This is the actual code (except for not mentionning the whole query because otherwise it would be too long).

How do you build the query?

this is the full code:
if (klantID > 0)

strSQL = "INSERT INTO [IBAX].[dbo].[klanten] ([klantOndNr],[klantNaam],[klantStraat]" +
",[klantPostcode],[klantGemeente],[klantLand],[klantContact],[klantTelefoon]" +

It must be something specificly with the update-instruction.
I've tried it using only the update (so no if...else, always use update) and I've got the same error message.
I've replaced the update with the exact same code for if (the insert-instruction) and then I don't get the error.
I've tried changing the building of the update instruction a little bit but I still get the same error.

You have put an assignment operator (=) where the concatenation operator (+) should be.

Well, spotted. I just went on a tangent about SQL Injection Attacks. (Well, what else am I going to talk about).
Just as well I asked to see the whole code.

Just as well Landie110 is from Belgium where it means "client".

So the client is someone who messed up ? I mean, surely there's a link between two european countries using the same word to mean different things ?

Are all the variables strings?
Also, it would be better if you didn't inject values into the SQL command as it can lead to SQL Injection Attacks.
sqlSQL = "UPDATE [IBAX].[dbo].[klanten] "+
"SET [klantOndNr] = @klantOndNr, "+
"[klantNaam] = @klantNaam";
mySqlCommand.CommandText = strSQL;
mySqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@klantOndNr", klantOndNr);
mySqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@klantNaam", klantNaam);
If you restructure as above, you might find your error easier to find (if it doesn't fix it) AND the security of your application improved.

HI All,
I am trying to put together a print function but I am having some trouble with it. I have looked at numerous code and have tried to put my own together but I getthe following error message, "Object not reference not set to an instance of an object". I think I know where the problem is but do't know how to fix it.

It's quite simple. You have forgotten about initializing BackgroundImage and you get null reference error as long as "null" is a default value of BackgroundImage. Try doing this:
BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(Width, Height);
or sth like that, whatever.

Thanx mate. That seems to have worked. Now, while that seems to have worke fine I have fond yet another problem. My textbox details have gone missng or better yet itisnot moved into the print preview. Is my code missing something? The textboxes are all within a Group Box. My labels are also not printing which probably mean I have not declared them. Correct? f you could ave a look at why my text boxes are not comming through I would greatly appreciate it. Cheers

Well, I have a deep night here in Poland so I am in a "not responding" state. Maybe tomorow I will be able to help you.
PS. I have noticed following expression in your code:
Controls[i].GetType() == this.t1TextBox.GetType()
Why not use the is operator?
Controls[i] is TextBox

Thanx guys but I am still having problems with this one. My Text boxes don't seem to print over. I think it may because they are sitting in the GROUPBOX. Any further Ideas?
|
|
|
|

Yes. You are enumarating Form.Controls collection, which doesn't contain controls which are in a groupbox. Controls in a groupbox are in the GroupBox.Controls collection.
About printing a form. Did you try to use the Form.DrawToBitmap method?
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(Width, Height);
this.DrawToBitmap(b, new Rectangle(0, 0, Width, Height));
b.Save("test.png");
b.Dispose();

Thanx mate. I managed to get one of the groupboxs onto the form now. However groupBox1 doesn't seem to be comming over. I have managed to get some code for printing off the codeprojact site which caters for two groupboxes but it doesn't work in my project. Any other ideas?

Can you tell us what you don't understand?
Me: Can you see the "up" arrow?
User:Errr...ummm....no.
Me: Can you see an arrow that points upwards?
User: Oh yes, I see it now!
