You can use the utility MSBuild Task[^] that provides the code that runs during the build process.
You need to include the code to convert header file #define to C# constant

I use the C pre-processor and then pass the result to CSC. But I don't know about integrating that with VS.
One of the problems with trying to automatically convert it is that the macroes don't specify a type.
Another solution would be to store the items in XML and then use XSLT to produce either C/C++ (h) or C# code as required.

Interesting idea...I have a question as to what and how you pass data from the C pre-processor to the CSC?
Thanks everyone for you thoughts!

Thanks PIEBALDconsult...Couple questions
1. Is this entered at the command-line or via a batch file?
2. The "C:\mingw\bin\cpp" reference. Where is this from?
Thanks again!

I'm trying to remember where I got the installer I used, at the moment I can't even find the file I downloaded.
Ah, I remember; at one point I had installed Quincy[^] and it installed MinGW.
When I built my current system I simply copied the directory tree over.

Yeah, tricky. Interesting problem too. I guess you're right, have a prebuild step which parses the #defines and spits out constant integers. I know of no such tool, but should be easy to write yourself.
I've got some vague recollection that .NET doesn't stash constant integers in metadata but resolves them to numbers during main compilation. If this is correct, if your constants are used outside the assembly they're defined in, you'd need to rebuild that assembly as well. Just replacing the one assembly don't work. Perhaps someone here could confirm that or tell me I dreamt it.

I have the following scenario. I have a WinForm that has a TableLayoutPanel in which each cell has a GroupBox that is logically separating the controls on the form. Now, each group box has a button which can be considered the default button if and only if Enter is pressed in one of the textboxes in that group box in that particular cell in the table layout panel.
Now, the default button is no longer an option and I assume that that is because of the table layout panel, so the idea of having one massive select statement figure out which "default" button to fire won't work.
Is there a proper way of doing this?

Are all the GroupBoxes identical? If so, then what about a custom control, derived from GroupBox, which has the controls already added. Perhaps adding a property to expose the Button and TextBox for flexibility. When the return key is pressed in the TextBox, use the PerformClick() method of the Button. Then, just add the derived GroupBox control to the TableLayoutPanel in place of the normal GroupBox setup

In what sense? Their contents represent different things, for example, Name in Arabic, Name in English, National ID Number etc. If you mean functionality wise, what is happening right now is that each Group Box has its own button that then grabs the info from the right text box and grabs all the information from the DB that matches that criteria. Some stuff are not unique (nationality for example) and so will return a number of matches.
I like the idea, but I don't know if its applicable in my case.
Thanks though

DefaultButton may not be available, but AcceptButton still is, because that's what it is called in C# WinForms!

Nope. Its available on the form itself but not from any of the other controls (group boxes in particular), but I remember toying with it before I went to Lebanon and it didn't do what I wanted it to. Giving it another try..
Confirmed, the form is not capturing the Enter keypress. I'm guessing that the event is not bubbled up from the textbox.

The only reference to DefaultButton I could find on my local MSDN gave results in the System.Web.UI namespace.

By exposing the Button, TextBox and Label, you could make changes to them - with a bit of designer hodge-podge, and a few PropertyGrid attributes you might be able to get that code into the Designer.cs files, where it would normally be. If the controls are exposed, you can hook the events as usual. It would probably be immensely boring to add the controls manually, but IMO it'd look better than one humongous switch statement. You could also try putting the name of the Button which should be clicked in the Tag property of the TextBox and having a common KeyPress handler for every TextBox which reads the Tag, searches for a Button with that name in the Parent's Controls collection, and clicks it

Ugh! Massive Switch Statement

Wouldn't that require a new control for each group box? It might be worth it in the future, but for now I'll stick to the multiple button solution.
Thanks buddy!

Yes, but the way I see it, you'd be creating a new control for each new GroupBox anyway. Unless you mean a new derived control, in which case no - you'd simply need to change the properties as usual

More of a philosphical question - why do you need multiple default buttons? The Accept button dismisses the dialog box, so how does it matter which button click causes it to go away?

Noone is going to just hand over the entire source code for such a large project.
It is not as easy as you think it is. You need intimiate knowledge of how Windows works, how the Shell works, plug-in support in your own application, writing and exposing an API that thes plugins would use to interface with your SideBar, ..., yada, yada, yada...

rentacoder is a good option.
Then again, like most people who request around here, you can keep on dreaming.
