AFAIK you can't - a form is drawn first then the controls are drawn on the form's surface.
The easiest way to acheive what you want is probably to create a DashedRectangle control that has a transparent background and make sure that's the last control to be drawn.

I am working on an application where I am using C# .net as well as ATL COM.
I have created below classes
1) Class Add, Which is created using C# .Net. And which implement Addition functionality. This class uses IAdd interface which is having Add method to perform addition. (Please note that IAdd is an com interface and we have used it by creating interop dll)
public class Add : IAdd
{
#region IAdd Members
void IAdd.Add(double P1, double P2)
{
throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
}
#endregion
}
2) Class Calculate (com visible component), which is created using C# .Net. And which internally uses Class ADD to perform addition. . (Please note that ICustom is an com interface and we have used it by creating interop dll)
class Calculate : ICustom
{
#region ICustom Members
Add add = new Add ();
#endregion
#region ICustom Members
void ICustom.CustomQueryInterface(Guid id, ref object ptr)
{
throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
}
#endregion
}
3) Class Client, This class is created using ATL COM, which crates the object of class Calculate as “calculate“ and then tries to retrieve interface IAdd using object calculate.
To get the IAdd interface, what I have done is I have created a Custom Interface which contain a method similar to the Query Interface () method available in the IUnknownInterface.
This interface is then implemented by the class Calculate, Now whenever client requires an IADD interface pointer; it will use ICustomInterface to retrieve it.
Please suggest:
What should be the implementation Of .CustomQueryInterface(Guid id, ref object ptr)?
Also what should be the code at client side (Client is implemented inCOM)
IDL file :
[
object,
uuid(E99CD31D-34FE-4AFF-A1E6-C438F73F685F),
dual,

interface ICOMClient : IDispatch{
[id(1), helpstring("method PerformCalculation")] HRESULT PerformCalculation(void);
};

Hi again
trying to create a simple video fade effect by changing the contrast value of video from 0 to -128 over a period of 2 seconds, tried using time_tick and a for loop but it didnt work as all that happened was timer started and then loop exacuted
timer set to 100 millisecs
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i < -128; i--)
{
contast = i
}
}
anyone point me in right direction
thanks

Try this:
private int contrast = 0;
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (contrast > -128)
{
contrast--;
}
else
{
timer1.Stop();
}
}

Hi,
having the loop execute completely within a single timer tick won't cut it; what you need is one tiny step on each of a number of timer ticks, as Griff already has shown.
FYI: that requires a small time step, probably pretty close to what your system is willing to offer through a System.Windows.Forms.Timer; see my article Timer surprises, and how to avoid them[^]
BTW: your for loop's exit condition was wrong too.

The problem is quite simple, but you need to do some thinking (and possibly studying) because it shows that you have not understood static versus instance data.
public string _variable = String.Empty;
Declares a string variable called _variable, and assigns it to empty. Because this has no prefix, this is an instance variable. I.e. it is part of your class, and each instance of the calls has a separate copy of the variable. If this were cars, it could be the Colour - your car has a different Colour from my car.
public static string Variable
{
set { _variable = value; }
get { return _variable; }
}
Declares a string property called Variable. Because this has the static prefix, this is a static variable. I.e. it is part of your class, but all instances of your class share the same value. If this were cars, it could be CountTheWheels - your car and my car always have the same number of wheels - four.
Because the property is static, and the variable it is trying to use is instance, the compiler is telling you that you need to refer to a specific instance of your class in order to access the _variable value you want. What you are trying to ask is "What colour is any car?" - which is plainly nonsense since all cars do not have the same colour.
BTW: Do not make the _variable field public - that is what the property is for. If you expose the property and the backing field, which one is the user supposed to work with? The field? The property? Both? What if the property does something with the data before assigning it to the field - like validation?

"Message Removed"
I really hate it when they do that.

Unfortunately one can not even respond any longer, there is a reply widget but it fails.
The message was:
Hey guys, I know this is simple stuff still would appreciate ur help, I assumed by declaring this method static It would solve the problem but hasn't ... Frown
I get this error: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property
public string _variable = String.Empty;
public static string Variable
{
set { _variable = value; }
get { return _variable; }
}

So, he deletes the message to save himself the embarrassment, and you put it straight back?
You're a cruel man, Luc!

All I did was restore the value of your reply, which had become pointless when the question disappeared.
I also informed the OP of his bad manners using different means.
FWIW: why is the reply widget present, when replying to a removed message does not work??

it is much easier to install a little bot that copies new messages as soon as they appear...

Message removed, to preserve the removed content of the removed message. Which was removed at the request of a different, removed message.
Should I remove this message, just to be safe?

one should not reveal this. please remove your reply immediately!

I am still waiting...
BTW: now there's two of them to remove.

Please consider the previous message removed

<whisper>It's ok - I removed my response, quoting his removed message.</whisper>

message to all: now see how removing a question turns a thread into a mysterious sequence of sentences with a rather high level of probable offtopicness.
