Thanks for your answer!
Seems an interesting idea to further follow.
The idea was to have the user do ZERO configuration, except specifying the connection string. Hopefully I will manage to do.
Cheers
Uwe

First drag a ContextMenuStrip from the tool box...................... then just create one label on it and write just the text you want to be displayed ........................ like 'Open Form1'................... then double click it and write like ..... "Form1.show".................... on the property of your notifyIcon change the value of ContextMenuStirp from none to ContextMenuStrip1 ............................ I think this must work....
good luck

Im writing a simple control to use in my app. It consists of a button with two labels on it, each displaying different data.
Heres my problem:
When I use the control in my app, I have to click twice on the labels to trigger the click event of the control while clicking on a part of the button with no label on it works correctly. I assume the way to handle this is to tie the labels click events to the controls click event. I have managed to setup properties correctly to alter label text and color and what not but how do I go about linking the click events"
The data on the labels doesnt change once it is set. The button is for music, the top label is the song title and the bottom is the album name. When the user clicks anywhere on the button(including on the labels), the song should loaded into the queue to be played.
Problem is when the user clicks on a part of the button with a label, they have to click twice in order to trigger the load.
Thanks, Jon

From your description I have little clue what might be wrong...
So, just to give you some suggestion on how to do that, here is a very simple desktop application with 2 button:
Window1.xaml
<Window <br />
x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"<br />
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"<br />
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"<br />
Width="200" Height="100"<br />
Title="Window1"><br />
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical"><br />
<Button Click="DoClick1"> <Label>Label 001</Label><br />
</Button><br />
<Button Click="DoClick7"> <Label>Label 007</Label> </Button><br />
</StackPanel><br />
</Window>
Window1.xaml.cs
public partial class Window1 : Window<br />
{<br />
public Window1()<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void DoClick1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine("Click 1");<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void DoClick7(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine("Click 2");<br />
}<br />
}<br />

IM sorry, I should have mentioned Im working in C#.

Er... I did reply in C#!!!
The code Behind is in C#, the XAML is, well XAML, but that's the way of WPF, even in a C# project!
From your remark I could be under the impression that you are doing WinForm development.
However "It consists of a button with two labels on it" is not really possible in WinForm.
So I'm at loss as to what you are doing...
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

As I said earlier, it's quite unclear what you are doing but...
I'm guessing it can be...
You are doing WinForm development
You added a Button and a Label to a UserControl and positioned the Label on top of the button.
Am I right?
Frankly I'm surprised you can click on the button at all!
But you should not do that!
Why not, instead, set the .Text and .ForeColor properties of the button?!!?

OK lets see if I can clarify:
I have a user control consisting of a button with two labels on it, one for displaying a song title , the other for displaying the artist.
Im using the control in a flowlayout panel with multiple instances of the control. When a user clicks on the control, another form with information about the song is displayed.
Problem is, using the onClick event, If I click on top of one of the labels I have to click it twice to trigger the click event for the control. I need to be able to only have to click it once.
|
|
|
|

I'm sorry but I still don't get it, could you write some code?
If I would guess, I would say it looks like your control is like that:
public class MyControl : Control<br />
{<br />
public MyControl()<br />
{<br />
var b = new Button();<br />
b.Size = new Size(80, 40);<br />
b.Controls.Add(new Label { Text = "L1", Bounds = new Rectangle(10, 10, 20, 20), BackColor = Color.Transparent });<br />
b.Controls.Add(new Label { Text = "L2", Bounds = new Rectangle(50, 10, 20, 20), BackColor = Color.Transparent });<br />
<br />
Controls.Add(b);<br />
b.Click += new EventHandler(b_Click);<br />
}<br />
<br />
void b_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine("Clicked");<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Well, and I'm still surprised you can click on the label at all!
Nothing happen when I click on the label, be it 1 or 100 times!
And it's not the way to handle button.
I decided to stop investigating this pointless undefined problem and thought I could show you what I would do instead.
I would define a control, which looks like a button, and display what I need!
Here you go:
class MyControl2 : Control<br />
{<br />
public MyControl2()<br />
{<br />
PushButtonState = PushButtonState.Normal;<br />
Size = new Size(100, 50);<br />
}<br />
<br />
protected override void OnClick(EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
base.OnClick(e);<br />
Console.WriteLine("Clicked");<br />
}<br />
<br />
public PushButtonState PushButtonState { get; private set; }<br />
<br />
protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
base.OnMouseDown(e);<br />
PushButtonState = PushButtonState.Pressed;<br />
Invalidate();<br />
}<br />
protected override void OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
base.OnMouseUp(e);<br />
PushButtonState = PushButtonState.Normal;<br />
Invalidate();<br />
}<br />
<br />
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
ButtonRenderer.DrawButton(e.Graphics, new Rectangle(0, 0, Width, Height), PushButtonState);<br />
<br />
e.Graphics.DrawString("Label1", Font, Brushes.Red, new PointF(10, 10));<br />
e.Graphics.DrawString("Label2", Font, Brushes.Blue, new PointF(50, 10));<br />
}<br />
}<br />

Hi all... I'm looking for a control similar to Properties Window[^] in the visual studio (C#, VB...)
The use: I'm looking for a control that: has two columns, one to show a properties, the other for a corresponding value (each property can have only one value), also I want to unite some properties under a groups. the "Properties Window" is the perfect control I can think of.
Question is: is there such a control anyway??, if not what control can you suggest that support the requirements above?
|
|
|
|

Yes. Look at the PropertyGrid control in MSDN. There's also quite a few attributes which can be applied to properties which change how they look in the PropertyGrid; you may want to have a look at those as well

And the reality

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for!

the PropertyGrid is a great control, problem is that it has only one way to work with it: the PropertyGrid can only get an instance of an object and displays properties based on the set/get functions of that object (based on what I have learned). is there another way to populate the PropertyGrid?, say by row? (to set the values of rows/columns)

Ok, I know it has something to do with Spy++ Or Windows Hooks or maybe both, whatever the method is, how would you track the coordinates of an open window "say, My Documents folder floating window on my desktop".

Not sure, but I guess GetWindowRect method will help you out.

Hi, Ive just started using vs2008
im trying to call a method in a parent aspx page from a user control.
ive usually done this using something like:
((PageClass)this.Page).Method();
But for some reason PageClass never appears in intellisense...
- I cant reference the page class from the control.
Ive put the page and the control in the same namespace but still no luck.
Ive also tried using events instead - but after the event is assigned in the parent it still seems to be null in the control...
Any ideas what im doing wrong??
Thanks,
Chas

This is C# Forum. Your question is related to ASP.NET. So please Post it to ASP.NET Forum.
Thanks

You can access the method this way:
((ClassNameOfASPXPage)(this.Page)).MethodName();
Make sure the method is internal/public.
