I have a Visual Studio Setup and Deployment project that associates a file type with my app. I have setup the file type in my Setup and Deployment project and ran the installer, however in windows explorer when you right click a file of that particular type and select "open with" it will show just the app's icon but no text is displayed next to the icon (usually the name of the application is shown here). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Note: if you double click the file it will successfuly launch the app correclty. It's just the application name in the windows explorer "open with" menu that doesn't show.
thanks

Did you set the application title and description in the Assembly Properties of the VS project? AFAIK, Windows Explorer pulls the display name of the application from that information.

If you are aware of any such resource(s) which can help me in quickly done my job then please tell me.
Sometimes google is not of much help and experience of friends is more useful.

Hi!
Obviously you didn't use CP's Search function - there are several articles giving a good introduction.

Does anybody have a good pattern for invoking methods on GUI controls from a different thread?
Writing all these shims is just downright annoying...

It turns out that System::Action comes to the rescue. I wrote this method in my GUI class:
void Invoke(Delegate del) {
Dispatcher.Invoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Input, del);
}Then I add code like this in my delegate handlers:Invoke(new Action( () => { ... }));
I'm guessing I could create a generic delegate chain which automatically calls the Invoke method on an arbitrary Dispatcher object, so that the event handler always runs in the GUI thread context. Just one more thing to look into before going to bed...

Could you post a small example of how you use the Invoke method? I don't understand it. 
|
|
|
|
|
Suppose I have an event handler:
void OnWhatever(...) {
textBox.Text = "Very bad thing from a different thread context";
}I rewrote it like this:
void Invoke(Delegate del) {
Dispatcher.Invoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Input, del);
}
void OnWhatever(...) {
Invoke(new Action( () => { textBox.Text = "This is safe from a different thread context"; } ));
}This'll make sure that the textbox's text property is only set on the GUI thread. If you're used to COM, it's like calling an STA object's method - it gets synchronized by the message pump.
I've tried to make this more generic, so that when you register the event handler (which you know will be called from a different thread), you register a chaining delegate handler which will automatically chain the event call through the dispatcher. I haven't had any success yet, as the last step in the invocation list always gives me an invalid parameter count exception. I have no idea why, and the debugger doesn't give me much else. 
Of course, I'm working with WPF. If you're working with Windows Forms, I think you'll have to take a look at Control.Invoke() or something like that, to dispatch the calls to the GUI thread.

I may be wrong, but only system services are prevented from being stopped. In other words, you cannot prevent your own service from being stopped.

I have been searching all over the place for a way to put a C# form beneath the desktop icons. I have tried using SetWindowPos and I can find the handle for the desktop icons using:
IntPtr hDesktopListView = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr hProgman = (IntPtr)FindWindow("Progman", null);
IntPtr hDesktop = IntPtr.Zero;
if (hProgman != IntPtr.Zero)
{
hDesktop = FindWindowEx(hProgman, IntPtr.Zero, "SHELLDLL_DefView", null);
if (hDesktop != IntPtr.Zero)
{
hDesktopListView = FindWindowEx(hDesktop, IntPtr.Zero, "SysListView32", null);
}
}
return hDesktopListView;
However, no matter what I do, I can't place a form beneath the desktop icons. Can someone tell me if this is even possible to do?

I've never heard of it being done (apart from when Windows had Active Desktop but that was about it).
I doubt it. If it isn't intuitive then we need to fix it. - Chris Maunder

{<br />
public int vkCode;<br />
public int scanCode;<br />
public int flags;<br />
public int time;<br />
public int dwExtraInfo;<br />
}<br />
<br />
public int keyboardHook(int code, int wParam, ref keyboardHookStruct lParam)<br />
{<br />
if (code >= 0 && ( wParam == WM_KEYDOWN || wParam == WM_SYSKEYDOWN))<br />
{<br />
Keys key = (Keys)lParam.vkCode;<br />
<br />
KeyEventArgs keyEventArgs = new KeyEventArgs(key);<br />
<br />
char ch = Convert.ToChar(keyEventArgs.KeyValue + ' '));<br />
<br />
string Str = ch.ToString();<br />
<br />
LogTextBox.Text = LogTextBox.Text + Str;<br />

I have an exercise:
Use C# to view structure of .mdb file (MS Access file). All the names of tables from file will be viewed in one listbox, all column-names (fields) of table, which is choiced from that list box, will be view in another listbox. And one checkbox will show if the field that we select from 2nd listbox is key or not.
This is the first time I work with mdb file in C#, please masters, help me to resolve this exercise.
This is code that I've tried to do:
<br />
string DBPath;<br />
OleDbConnection DBConnection;<br />
DataTable SchemaTable;<br />
DataColumn SchemaColumn;<br />
DataSet dbSet = new DataSet();<br />
<br />
(blah blah..)<br />
<br />
DBPath="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source = " + openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString();<br />
DBConnection = new OleDbConnection(DBPath);<br />
DBConnection.Open();<br />
SchemaTable = DBConnection.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, new Object[] { null, null, null, "TABLE" });<br />
lstbox_tables.Items.Clear();<br />
for (int i = 0; i < SchemaTable.Rows.Count; i++)
{ lstbox_tables.Items.Add(SchemaTable.Rows[i].ItemArray[2].ToString());
}<br />
........something need to be added here from you..My code that was not correct is here:<br />
<br />
int table_index = lstbox_tables.SelectedIndex;
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
MessageBox.Show(number_of_columns.ToString());<br />
lstbox_fields.Items.Clear();<br />
for (int i = 0; i < number_of_columns; i++)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Do a search on CodeProject for keyboard hooks and hopefully that'll explain things.
