Custom Painting ScrollBar - C# Discussion Boards

Hi,

can anyone help me out about inheritance?

i have a base class inherited from a usercontrol. This base class contains a imagelist with 12 bitmaps and a datagrid, build in designtime.

Now i created 10 new classes inherited from my base class and weird as it is. the image list is copied and not inherited. changing the bitmaps in the base class doesn't change the ones in the other 10 inherited classes..

result is that i have to modify it for each of the classes. Another bad thing is that each class hass his own resource file containing the bitmaps. so 75kb x 10 = 750kb. i suppose this is no inheritance like i known it in Delphi, this is copying source.

Is there a way prevent copying the bitmaps but actually inheriting?

thx

Kurt

Sounds to me like the bitmaps are not static, so a copy is created for every class instance. This would occur if they were 10 different derived classes, or not. Make them static.

Wel,

i had the know it in advance, but i guess it's not possible to set a designtime created control as static. Smile | :)

So this seems to be a huge bug or missing functionality in C#.

Protected is not good enough, private is no option and static is not possible.

Even if you set it back to private in the parent form, the other derived forms still have the imagelist and you cannot delete them anymore...

So again this isn't inheritance, this is copying code.

But thx for you're time anyway.

I'd Love to Have a ScrollBar which I can paint on my own. The Two Arrows for Up/Down and the actual Bar. I found a link on skinning Scrollbar on codeproject.com but it sort of was very lengthy. So is their an easier way to paint Scrollbars just as we paint other Controls???

Thanks...

File Serialization problem

I have a custom class having two members (a String object and a RegistryKey object). I have declared the class as Serializable and implemented the Iserializable interface. When I run the code ... an exception is thrown at the line where I try to serialize the RegistryKey object. My understanding is that this object also has to be serialized. But this cannot be done as RegistryKey class is sealed. Is there any procedure to serialize .NET class library objects?

I have to write my custom object to a file. My object contains other class library objects. Is there any alternative? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Maybe you can exclude it from serialization and write a class that converts it to a string or other serializable object.

You should register CellClicked of DataGridView, then you check ColumnIndex in EventArgs to know the button is clicked or not.

You can see an example here:

How would i add a bitmap for my mian windows app to load up??? in this program:

#include <windows.h>

/* Declare Windows procedure */
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

wincl.style = CS_DBLCLKS; /* Catch double-clicks */

How do i link bitmaps to load with my game app window??Like if i'm using Dev-C++ Windows App Templete and want to link a bitmap with it in C. ( btw everything i'm talking about is C not C++)

Not very far, apparently

1 - try using meaningful ( or at least different ) subjects for different questions
2 - You're not likely to find much help here, given that you want help coding in C and on an unusual compiler, but especially not in the C# forum. The visual c++ forum is your best bet.

hi its muneeb,
i am using File.Move(sourceFilename, destFilename)method in my windows service, where "sourceFilename" is path of file placed on another IP Address i.e: 12.15.200.114, and my system IP Address is 12.15.194.251, i am getting an exception while calling this method "can't find the file'\\12.15.200.114\Files\abc.pdf'", even it exists !!!!.

I also made a mapdrive (Z:\) for the other system in my system, and made path z:\\Files\\abc.pdf, but Again Frown | :-(

its not working

To check this out i made a console application for both scenarios and made the same process it is working good, but not working in my windows service.

Their may be an issue for system rights and service logon, but i checked my service with my user account, administrator account and local system account.

Plz help me out, bc its getting to late.... Sniff | :^)

i make a software help to connect many device with PC,use COM1 in PC.it sent a syntax(have adrees of receiver),and after a little time the device(receiver) sent data to PC in COM1
my problem is if it ask all device,and wait the answer all device,it used many time.that is bad
I want it work multitasking-it ask a device,and when it wait for answer,it can ask other device...
note:COM1 only can sent or receive at the moment
