Windows 7 preview and white space - C# Discussion Boards

the page you linked to calls it "Vista's Task Dialog"; why should this work on older systems?

Windows 7 preview and white space

14-Nov-09 11:01

Why should the system know what you intended to do??

All it knows it that you tried to call a function, TaskDialogIndirect, in ComCtl32 that doesn't exist in Windows versions before Vista. So, yeah, it's going to throw an exception, which your code didn't catch and handle. If you want a different dialog to show up, you're going to have to write code around this section that blew up to catch the exception and call a different function or show a different form or whatever if you want something different to happen on XP.

Hi,
As it can be seen from the sample picture I added, my form has a weird white space on it's Windows 7 window preview. This only happens on this from and I have no idea on why it happens.

Sample picture:

Any help is appriciated. Thanks.

Looks like a scaling-down artefact. The preview seems to have been generated by scaling down the original with performance preferred over accuracy (linear vs more complex interpolation).

It might be that, but when I increase the width of my form this white space disappears and the preview is drawn correctly. I suspect maybe a component having a larger width then the form causes this. Is it possible?

Luc Pattyn14-Nov-09 3:22

if the scale down is executed by simply skipping some rows and columns of the original image, then the artefacts will depend on the exact location of the various parts in the original; your 3-D effects do include whitish lines. Your scaling down just happened to hit it.

Change your email content so that the receivers spam filters don't think it's spam.

Your email address may be on a blocked list, like if you're sending from a GMail or Hotmail account or the content may be flagged as suspicious.

There is nothing you can do with the code on your end to fix this.

Read Dave's response again. There is nothing you can do in code to prevent this.

The message subject or text may contain words that the email filter deems as spam.

You have no way of knowing, from your side, why the spam filter is eyeballing your emails. You can ask the receiver to investigate it for you, but that's about it.

Updating weather using Threading

There is no difference between your app sending an email and Outlook sending an email. The receiver does the filtering, not your app. You simply have no control over it.

Hi people

I'm using a web service to display the current weather on my main interface. At the moment I have to click a button everytime I want to update the weather, and while this is updating, my interface stalls for however long it takes to update which is usually 5 seconds. What I want to know is, is there a way to have this running on a separate thread without clicking a button and have it update continuously while still being able to work with the main interface?

Here is the code I use to update the current temperature:

string strTemperature = "";

GlobalWeatherService.GlobalWeatherSoapClient proxy = new aXYZ.GlobalWeatherService.GlobalWeatherSoapClient("GlobalWeatherSoap12", "http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx");

string weatherXml = proxy.GetWeather("Port Elizabeth", "South Africa");

StringReader reader = new StringReader(weatherXml);
XmlReader readerXml = XmlReader.Create(reader);
XmlDocument weatherXmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
weatherXmlDoc.Load(readerXml);

for (int i = 0; i < weatherXmlDoc.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
{
     for (int j = 0; j < weatherXmlDoc.ChildNodes[i].ChildNodes.Count; j++)
     {
          if (weatherXmlDoc.ChildNodes[i].ChildNodes[j].Name == "Temperature")
               strTemperature = weatherXmlDoc.ChildNodes[i].ChildNodes[j].InnerText;
     }
}

lblTemperature.Content = strTemperature;

You can indeed use a thread to handle this.
Here's a nice beginners guide about threading here on Codeproject: Beginners Guide To Threading In .NET Part 1 of n

Thanks. I'll go through that now.

I tried using a DispatcherTimer like in the following code:

// Create a Timer with a Normal Priority
DispatcherTimer _timer = new DispatcherTimer(DispatcherPriority.Normal);

// Set the Interval to 2 seconds
_timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(2000);

// Set the callback to just show the time ticking away
// NOTE: We are using a control so this has to run on
// the UI thread
_timer.Tick += new EventHandler(delegate(object s, EventArgs a)
{
    UpdateWeather();
});

// Start the timer
_timer.Start();

I've tried about 4 different ways of using the Dispatcher, but no matter what I try, my UI keeps freezing while it's doing UpdateWeather. Can it be because I call this Timer from my form_Loaded event??

Hi,

you probably need this[^].

BTW: does the weather really change every 5 seconds where you live?
