Hi all,

I was creating a ToolStripe with a few Buttons.

I was creating a SplitButton. This Button has Items.

i.e:
Start Program 1
Start Program 2
Start Program 3

How can I get the select Text of the items ?
My sample returns only the name of the split button Frown | :(

MessageBox.Show("ITEM: " + item.Name + " " + ButtonBenutzerAuswahl.Selected.ToString());

Have you tried the item's Text property?

What type of items are you adding to your split button, and what value so you expect or want to get from them?

1 - what do you mean by query wizard ? To talk to a DB ? You connect, you take input, and you run it on the DB.
2 - Then you add a column and put the values in there

I have a class called CardHolder which extends UserControl. I have overrode its OnPaint function like so:

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
    base.OnPaint(e);<br />
<br />
    Graphics g = e.Graphics;<br />
<br />
    foreach (Card c in this.Controls)<br />
    {<br />
        g.DrawImage(c.Image, c.Location);<br />
    }<br />
}

Each image is tied to a Control which has been added to this control. Each image is a partially transparent image which is partially overlaid another image. However, each time the OnPaint function is called, it doesn't clear the Control of what was there before:

Good: http://img20.imageshack.us/i/goodw.jpg/[^]

Oh dear: http://img24.imageshack.us/i/ohdearz.jpg/[^]

I've hooked into the CardHolder's Resize event and call PositionCards in that function to position the Controls, which in turn calls OnPaint behind the scenes. I hope what I'm doing here makes sense to you guys. How do I clear the Control of the previously drawn images?

Card extends UserControl as well but is transparent and has no child controls.

How is the OnPaint being called? Call the Refresh() method to make your control invalidate the graphic and repaint itself.

I don't know how OnPaint is being called. I'll give Refresh a try.

0. No-one will download your code and fix it for you.
1. I am not a fan of CrappyReports; they have to grind down cute puppies to build this software.
2. I am guessing you have a paramatised report and a form for entering said paramater. Check the CR documentation [har har] on how to pass on to the other.
3. There are 865,492 better reporting tools that are free!

Inheritance

Hi from what I understand, the built-in System.Windows.Forms.Label class inherits from the System.Windows.Forms.Control class. Is there any way to change the Form.Label class' inheritance to a custom (SectionControl) class which is derived from the Forms.Control class?

so basically,

class SectionControl : Control
class MyLabel : Label

but override/replace the existing implict 'System.Windows.Forms.Label : Control' inheritance to 'System.Windows.Forms.Label : SectionControl'.

That way I get the benefits from both the SectionControl and MyLabel specializations. If this is possible I would proceed to add MyTextBox, MyCheckBox, etc... classes also deriving from the obvious parent and thereby retaining the commonality of all the custom controls in the SectionControl class. As C# doesn't allow multiple inheritance, and as i'm not interested in a semantic Interface either I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

No. But you could wrap a Label in something that derives from SectionControl.

Calculation of Efficiency using Microsoft Solver Foundation

Hi All,

Is it possible to calculate Efficiency of different Business Units on the basis some inputs and output using Microsoft Solver Foundation?

Following is the sample data for which efficiency needs to calculate.
Each row here represent the details of each Business Units.
1st column "Location" contains the location of business unit
2nd & 3rd columns "Personal" & "Business" are the outputs
4th column "Staff" is the input.

Location Personal Business Staff
Croydon 125 50 18
Dorking 44 20 16
Redhill 80 55 17
Reigate 23 12 11

In MS Excel, there is a add-in named as "Solver" that can be used to calculate the efficiency. For that we need to add the weighted output, weighted input and some more columns to meet the requirement of Solver add-in.

I believe some thing similar should be existing with Microsoft Solver Foundation, and can be calculate the efficiency programatically.

you all are requested to provide your thoughts on the same...

An earlier reply will be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. But that code brings focus forcefully to the excel application which I dont want and Marshal.GetActiveObject() will not work in that case.

System.Timers.Timer doesn't stop with Stop()

SimpleData21-Jul-09 2:24

Hi I have a timer which I've created in runtime with System.Timers.Timer myTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(10000);

I make some settings of this timer and start it with this code:

myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(myMethod);
myTimer.Start();

After myTimer started I stop myTimer using myTimer.Stop();

Some time later I need to start myTimer again so I start it with myTimer.Start(); But the weird thing is that it didn't actually stop when myTimer.Stop(); was executed. It's like two instances of myTimer are ticking at different times but I just want the last one to work.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I think the code block where new ElapsedEventHandler is added is called more than once.

It means when even is raised, more than once the myMethod will be called, and hence the timer will be incremented.

So can I add more than one ElapsedEventHandler to my timer right?

If I

myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method1);
myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method2);

then when myTimer ticks both Method1 and Method2 runs, right?

If I

myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method);
myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Method);

then when myTimer ticks Method will run twice, right?
