Hi CodeProject.com World!
From My subject u can understand my question
But i will repeat my question in another way also :

Q:
I am attempting to detect a Shift+Tab in the KeyPress event for back
navigation on a Datagridview.
Have any ideas how to compare e.KeyChar to a ShiftTab?

KeyPress event is for the typeable character keys. You can use KeyDown or ProcessCmdKey.
For KeyDown you can check the Shift property of KeyEventArgs[^].
Alternatively you can override the ProcessCmdKey[^] method like this:

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
    if (keyData == (Keys.Shift | Keys.Tab))
    {
        // Your code here
        return true;
    }
    return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
}

I've been trying to find a pattern in the CP1252 to predict that value, but I haven't had much luck this morning. It must be too early.

Why not just write the KeyPressed handler to show the value returned, then press the key combination to see what pops up? That's how I tackle such problems, and you'd have your answer in about as much time as it took to write the question. Big Grin | :-D

your description is not clear:
1. the symptoms are not described clearly
2. some essential information is missing, such as the declaration and set-up of gridAbout

Anyway, I have these remarks:

1. you should not touch GUI parts from any thread other than the main thread (or the ProgressReport/RunWorkCompeleted handlers of a BGW created by the main thread); a BGW's DoWork is running on another thread.

2. You should check BGW.Error in BGW.RunWorkCompleted for more information

3. The things you have in BGW.DoWork don't block at all, they could as well be executed on the main thread.

4. If you insist on updating the GUI from inside BGW.DoWork without relying on ProgressReport, you'd need this[^].

There are a lot of possible ways and a lot of possible scenaries where you transfer a string from the one form to another. A very simple way is to associate the both form. That means, that form 1 has a instance for form 2 or reversed. So you have to make sure, that the properties from form 2 are public that you wan't to set from form 1.

Here a small example of a association of two forms:

    public partial class Form1 : Form {

        public Form2 Form2 { get; set; }

        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

            Form2.MyStringIfWantToSet = "Hello World";
        }
    }

    public partial class Form2 : Form {

        public string MyStringIfWantToSet {
            get {
                return textBox1.Text;
            }
            set {
                textBox1.Text = value;
            }
        }

        public Form2() {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }

[STAThread]
        static void Main() {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

            Form1 form1 = new Form1();
            Form2 form2 = new Form2();

            form1.Form2 = form2;

            form2.Show();

            Application.Run(form1);
        }

in form2 declare public property

public string FindText;

you can access this property, like this

string find = from1.FindText;

Control Horizontal Scrollbar of DataGridView

M Nasir Uddin19-Jun-10 1:01

Hi Everyone

I am new in C# and developing a desktop application using it. There I have developed a form. In that form a DataGridView control is used. In that control a lot number of column is added with header text manually. This result a Horizontal Scrollbar appeared when run the form. Now I would like to control that Horizontal Scrollbar bar by locking some column not to scroll from beginning to a certain index of column. After that index the rest of the columns will be scrolled horizontally. Please help me in this regard. Thanks to you all. Smile | :)

Re: Control Horizontal Scrollbar of DataGridView

IMO you would need to set DataGridViewColumn.Frozen=true for all non-scrolling columns.

I Think that there is a hidden Character at the end of your string that you try trim

try to copy the value and paste it , in a word application , OR notepad++ ,

then press ( Show All Character Button ) it's looks like ( ¶ )

---- IF you found a hidden chars , which is not a space , then you can remove this char
by updating all your records , and re-use the LTRIM (RTRIM) Function again

Hope this help ,

Kind regards

Hi Stark DaFixzer,

I got a solution for trim the values using LINQ. The following statementi have used in my application.

var NameList = (from param_enum_desc in dsPartnertype.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                        select new
                        {
                            POS_VALUE = param_enum_desc.Field<string>("POS_VALUE"),
                            POS_DESCR = param_enum_desc.Field<string>("POS_DESCR")
                        });

        stoPartner.DataSource = NameList;
        stoPartner.DataBind();

Thank you

Splitting HTML pages as Metafile without text break using MSHTML in C# [modified]

I need to convert the HTML Page into multiple Metafile without any partial clipping of the text at the bottom of the images. I am using IviewObject's Draw method to capture the HTML page as Metafile. I have tried to avoid text breaking by using the IHTMLElement class and compared the element position with the region height and skipped the element to the Next image if it was not fully preserved within the region to be clipped, but it doesn't seems to be working. Any help on this...

I think it might help if you rephrase this as a question - asking something specific, perhaps about some code, and showing what you've done so far .. if you dont have a place to start, you may have to google a bit first
