Hi all,
I am using combobox Selected Change committed event,
and want the text selected by selected by user.
But problem is it only gives me text which was previously selected.
Suppose there are items as A, B, C, D
Now if user selects A on cmbTables_SelectionChangeCommitted event
its giving blank,
if again user selects A then its giving A.
Its giving the value which was previously selected.
private void cmbTables_SelectionChangeCommitted(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(cmbTables.Text);
}
Why this?
Is there way to overcome this?
Also if some items are present, it show blank, user have to select 1st item from dropdown.
I know we can set that thru coding, but why can't it set by default to 1st item.
regards,
|

try
cmbTables.SelectedText or
cmbTables.SelectedItem depending on how you filled the combobox, instead of
cmbTables.Text
|
|
|
|
|
None of them help,
All are giving me previously selected item text

I've never used the SelectionChangeCommitted event; did you notice it is part of Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 which suggests me to avoid it, it probably exists to mimic some quirks from VB6. I have used SelectedIndexChanged successfully, however I also code carefully with all such XYZChanged events, as some of them will fire more than once (changing a selection may be an unselect followed by a select), and Changed sometimes is and sometimes isn't to be taken literally, i.e. they may also fire when the same selection is made again.

How did you notice this?
If I look into the object browser i just see:
Public Event SelectionChangeCommitted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Member of System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
But in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 namespace there is :
Public Event SelectionChangeCommitted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Member of Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.ComboBoxArray

I'll let you in on a little secret: I occasionally read the documentation; Google the keyword (class name or more) to locate the relevant MSDN page, and pay attention to one of the first lines, which names the namespace. If it contains VisualBasic or VB6, I always suspect it is there for compatibility, probably to copy historic quirks.
Intellisense is great for saving you from some typing, and for suggesting member names, it is not a replacement for the documentation though. When I start using a new class, I read the class page and the list of members; and for each new class member I use, I would read the specific page, especially looking at the remarks, and the list of exceptions, as they often contain hints on less-than-obvious behavior that is to be expected.
In this particular case, I may have been too hasty though, seems like SelectionChangeCommitted also is a normal event in System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox, so I must have read the wrong page. However, I stand by my comments on XyzChanged events in general.

When i use SelectedText, its give previously name.
But if i use SelectedIndex, its giving currently selected item.
I am trying to achieve. There is a DataGridView. I am filling DataSet with approx 20 tables. Then adding these Datatable names to combobox.
Now when user selects a Datatable from comboxbox, lsetting dataMember property of DataGridView to Table Name.
Ques -> Is this Approach correct?
Here i also have to declare DataSet at class level (which i think remain in memory until class/application alive).
void SomeMethod()
{
dsTemp = new DataSet();
dsTemp.ReadXml(ofdXmlFile.FileName);
dgvDS.DataSource = dsTemp;
for (int i = 0; i < dsTemp.Tables.Count; i++)
{
txtContent.Text += dsTemp.Tables[i].TableName + "\r\n";
cmbTables.Items.Add(dsTemp.Tables[i].TableName);
}
}
DataSet dsTemp = null;
private void cmbTables_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
dgvDS.Columns.Clear();
dgvDS.DataMember = dsTemp.Tables[cmbTables.SelectedIndex].TableName;
}
Now above working correctly.
But when i use this below one its not working as expected
But here i dont have to declare DataSet at class level(and it also got garbage collected once SomeMethod Exit).
void SomeMethod()
{
DataSet dsTemp = new DataSet();
dsTemp.ReadXml(ofdXmlFile.FileName);
dgvDS.DataSource = dsTemp;
for (int i = 0; i < dsTemp.Tables.Count; i++)
{
txtContent.Text += dsTemp.Tables[i].TableName + "\r\n";
cmbTables.Items.Add(dsTemp.Tables[i].TableName);
}
}
private void cmbTables_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
dgvDS.Columns.Clear();
dgvDS.DataMember = cmbTables.SelectedText;
}
Also one more quest, when i try to iterate dataset thru foreach loop like
foreach (DataTable dt in dsTemp)
{ txtContent.Text += dt.TableName + "\r\n";
cmbTables.Items.Add(dsTemp.Tables[i].TableName);
} it gives error why?
Error 1 foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'System.Data.DataSet' because 'System.Data.DataSet' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'
How to overcome this? if i want to use foreach only?

1.
The hint is in the documentation:
"SelectedText gets or sets the text that is selected in the editable portion of a ComboBox".
A ComboBox allows you to choose one item from a list; doing so will fire some events and set some properties, in particular SelectedIndex and SelectedValue. These apply to you point-and-clicking in the list.
It also often allows you to type a text yourself; if so, you can edit the text, select part of it, copy, cut, paste, etc. There SelectedText works like it does in a TextBox. That is unrelated to point-and-clicking in the list.
When you do point and click, the TextBox part will reflect what you have selected, and under some conditions, it will also select it (turning it white on blue), at that time SelectedText would become equal to SelectedValue.
Hence: use SelectedIndex for retrieving the index inside a SelectedIndexChanged handler.

Hum Dum wrote: foreach (DataTable dt in dsTemp)
does not work when dsTemp is a DataSet. A DataSet holds tables but does not enumerate them automatically.
However
foreach (DataTable dt in dsTemp.Tables)
should work for you.

Thanks for your reply and time.
also could you give some light on DataSet object i declared. Given the 2 approaches i used, Is my concern is correct i.e
a) By declaring DataSet at form level(outside method). Is this going to remain alive until form object is alive?
Am i correct here?
regards

if your DataSet were a class member of your form, it would stay alive as long as a reference to it exists, which probably would coincide with the life of the form. You should be aware that DataSet has a Dispose() method which you should call when you no longer need the DataSet, so either apply a using construct (that is only suitable for local memory, inside a single method) or make sure to stuff it in a FormClosing handler.

Dear All,
I need a little help here.
Currently I have a website which is not under secure (E.g non-SSL pages).
If the user clicks login, the system will verify whether the login page is a secure page. If it is not, it will had a change of the URL to "https://" instead of "http://" which brings the website to be under secure.
However, if the user logout, my website will disconnect the SSL connection.
Now my problem is, how to disconnect the SSL connection in C#?
I tried searching googles, forums, etc for about a week and most of the replies are by using "FormsAuthtication.SignOut()" but it does not work in my website.
I include "FormsAuthtication.SignOut()" and redirect to "http://" page, it give me an error:
"The page must be viewed over a secure channel
The page you are trying to view requires the use of "https" in the address.
HTTP 403.4 - Forbidden: SSL required
Internet Information Services"
Please give me advie on this.
Many thanks.

Hi
Im using AVIStreamWrite to create a video using a string of JPG's from a ethernet camera. I believe that I have to use aviSetFormat before I can use the above function. One of the arguments for the aviSetFormat function is a BITMAPINFOHEADER. I have tried settings it up manually but the video is just black. So is there a way of finding the BITMAPINFOHEADER of a image using a function call?
Thanks

There is some code here[^] that does what you are trying to do. Have a look to see if it helps.

Thank you for the reply. I have managed to get it to create avi's with uncompressed images but my problem is that I dont know how to add compressed images. I need to know the BITMAPINFOHEADER.Compressed parameter. Do you know how I can get this parameter from the image?
Thanks
|
|

|

According to A Simple C# Wrapper for the AviFile Library[^] you cannot add compressed images directly. It seems that you have to create a new Stream add them to that, then add the new stream. Anyway the article explains it better than I can.
Although, from a very quick read, it does not seem to use BITMAPINFOHEADER.Compressed it seems to manage the whole thing.
Once again, I hope that if it is not sufficient by itself, that it gives you some ideas.

Hi all,
I got small trobule with randomize
her my code for starting randomize
private void lblStart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool run;
run = true;
Random d = new Random();
Application.DoEvents();
while (run == true)
{
Application.DoEvents();
int rnd = d.Next(0, lst.Count - 1);
lblNumber.Text = lst[rnd].ToString();
}
}
here for stop randomize and show result in messagebox and Label
private void lblStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
run = false;
MessageBox.Show(lblNumber.Text);
}
after I click stop button in label and messagebox it show the same text, but after I clcik OK button in label show another number?
Can anyone help to correct this?
Thanks
Socheat

All you are doing there is clogging up your processor, to no good end. Do it this way:
Create a class level Timer, call it randomTimer.
Move your Random to class level.
In your Start_Click event handler, check if there is an existing Timer in randomTimer. If not, create an instance, set the interval to 1/10th second, and set a handler for the Tick event. In all cases, start the timer.
In the Tick event, set the lblNumber.Text to your random value.
In your Stop_Click event handler, stop the timer.

Here code I just used timer control but still can't use
bool run = true;
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1.Enabled = true;
this.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
run = true;
Random rnd = new Random();
int i = 0;
while (run == true)
{
Application.DoEvents();
i = rnd.Next(0, 1000);
textBox1.Text = i.ToString();
}
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1_Tick(sender, e);
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer1.Enabled = false;
run = false;
MessageBox.Show(textBox1.Text);
}

No.
Read up on Timer.
private Timer timer = new Timer();
private void buttonStart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer.Interval = 1000 / 100;
timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
timer.Start();
}
void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
... Do a single instance of your Random stuff.
}
private void buttonStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
timer.Stop();
}

Hi,
your code contains a couple of mistakes against general rules, including:
1. event handlers (such as a Click handler) should execute and be done with in less than say 20 milliseconds; anything that takes longer needs a different approach, maybe a timer (a System.Windows.Forms.Timer is best for GUI related stuff), maybe a separate thread;
2. don't abuse Application.DoEvents(), there are a few situations where its use would be OK, yours isn't one of them.
3. avoid "busy loops", such as your while(run) construct, whenever there is an elegant alternative.
Obeying (1) often makes (2) moot.
Griff's approach is fine.

Hey Luc, what situations are there where Application.DoEvents() would be OK?
|
|
|
|
|
I allow myself to use DoEvents() inside an event handler when I am sure there is no risk of the event handler being re-entered by doing so, and I want the GUI to settle before I continue. Case in point would be a MenuItem.Click handler on say an "Open File..." menu item, where I want the menu to disappear and the GUI restored ASAP before opening the dialog that was ordered.
