I would like to update the progress bar of form2 from MyClass.. please help me.. Thank in advance.
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
public ProgressBar ProgressBar
{
get { return this.progressBar; }
set { this.progressBar = value; }
}
}
class MyClass
{
void DoaLengthyJob()
{
int i=0;
while ( {
Form2 f = new Form2;
f.ProgressBar =i;
i++
}
}
}

You should make DoALengthyTask a public method with a Parameter that takes an instance of a progressbar, then when you call the method just pass in the progressbar property you created :-
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public ProgressBar Progress { get; set; }
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.DoALengthyTask(Progress);
}
}
class MyClass
{
public void DoALengthyTask(ProgressBar progress)
{
int i=0;
while (true)
{
progress.Value = i;
i++;
}
}
}
Hope this helps

Sorry .. here is more info.
<pre lang="cs">public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
public ProgressBar ProgressBar
{
get { return this.progressBar; }
set { this.progressBar = value; }
}
}
class MyClass
{
void InitLengthyJob()
{
private void BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(
object sender,
System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
DoaLengthyJob();;
}
}
void DoaLengthyJob()
{
int i=0;
DoaLengthyJob()
Form2 f = new Form2;
f.ProgressBar =i;
i++
}
}

There are a couple of issues here:
1. You are not showing the form at all (maybe you ar showing another instance of the Form2 class, but that doesn't help, they are distinct, and so are the progress bars)
2. a lengthy job should not run on the main thread as it would block the GUI, resulting in poor behavior: no window repainting, unable to move/resize the window, etc. You should use a different thread for long operations, a BackgroundWorker could help here.
3. And then, another thread shouldn't directly create or touch WinForm Controls. You need some kind of Invoke, see here[^].

OK you fixed one issue, now deal with #1 and #3.
And read up on BackgroundWorker and how it helps you in reporting progress.

Hi
Not sure if this is the right forum for this as its more of a general question, but it didnt seem to fit any other category, and since I am looking for a c# solution....
I am looking for ideas to handle possessive case for a multi-lingual site.
e.g
John Smith's photo's (the 's after smith).
Since the name is what the user entered, and in this case IN ENGLISH it requires an 's to make it possessive, but in some cases it will just require an apostrophe, without the (s).
Doing this for a single language is easy enough when you know the rules, but how would you implement this on a site using Localization?
Is there a better way than hard-coding the language rules per culture code?
Thanks

I don't think you can do that a generic solution. In English it's easy, but in Polish you would have something like this:
The name: "Jan Kowalski".
Possessive case: "Jana Kowalskiego".
You see, in Polish we have 7 (seven) cases. And those are applied to both first name and last name.
Similar situation also applies to Russian, Czech and other Slavic languages. Don't know many others, but generally, you can't create generic solution for all languages.

Thanks, I figured that would be the case.
I was just wondering if there was a better way than a whole bunch of "ifs" for each language we implement.
|
|
|
|

Well... Another way could be to do with String.Format.
<br />
string.Format(formattingString, "John Smith");<br />
And now for English you can have resource: "{0}'s photos".
For Polish you could have: "Zdjęcia należące do użytkownika {0}".
And although it is quite long, it is grammatically valid.
But you have to create a version for each language you support

I am creating an organizer with basic add/delete/edit functions. I need to create an animated agent which talks to the user. I am stuck.
Any help guys? I'm really stuck 
|
|
|
|
|
What is it that you are stuck with exactly? Have you tried one of the CodeProject articles[^] on the subject?

I am not too sure where to start, I have created a project in c# which is an organizer. I now need to add the agent to this which will make it easier for a user to use the software created. It must be animated and be able to speak to the user through a verbal means. I have looked at some articles but I still am confused. I am using Visual Studio 2010 c# Express and wondered what ways I could incoorperate an animated agent into this

By reading the article I linked; it explains how to program against the Agent API.

Well, if it's something specific that you're confused about then we can look into that. If the concept is still vague, then you'd have to follow one of the articles from top to bottom.
Programming an agent isn't explained with a few code-snippets, but you could have a nice result in a few days if you follow the article.

Note 1: I just became aware of Luc Patyn's very interesting article: "WinForms AutoScroll Experiment"[^], and am diligently studying that code to see if it would meet my needs in this scenario.
Note 2: I thought about posting this on the WinForms forum, but that forum doesn't see much action, and, I consider it vaguely possible that a similar problem may occur in WPF/SilverLight (poor excuse ?).
Imagine you have a large Panel that fills most of a Form, the OuterPanel: at run-time you are creating/adding Panels into the Controls collection of the OuterPanel, and they are Docked Left. You put a custom drawn border around these inner Panels.
And, you have the auto-scroll property of the OuterPanel set to 'true.
At the point where a new inner Panel is added that exceeds the visible extent of the width of the OuterPanel, the Horizontal ScrollBar will automatically appear.
Unfortunately the H-Scrollbar appearing also reduces the vertical internal size of the OuterPanel's effective display area by about 17 pixels, which can result in the bottoms of your docked inner Panels being 'clipped' out of view.
I have a work-around for this based on detecting the change in the OuterPanel's size, and then just increasing the OuterPanel's height by 17 pixels, but that's ... errr ... not very elegant, since you've got a visible "bump" in the UI. I suppose I could enumerate the inner Panels and shrink their height, also, but I find that equally revolting a thought
The beauty of using Docking is the auto-alignment and re-sizing you get, the downside is you eliminate the other nice features provided by the 'Margin and 'Padding properties of controls.
I would love to have a set of DockedMargin and DockedPadding properties that paralleled the Margin and Padding properties for undocked controls !
I assume there is, but haven't tried to find, some pInvoke that could force a Panel to always show the horizontal scrollbar. I'd consider that a "last resort."
Any ideas ?
thanks, Bill

Who needs pInvoke?
myPanel.HorizontalScroll.Visible = true;

How I wish this would work ! In my innumerable experiments I found:
1. if AutoScroll is set to 'true, setting both Visible and Enabled properties of somePanel.HorizontalScroll will have no effect.
2. if AutoScroll is set to 'false: yes, the HorizontalScrollBar can be forced to appear, as you show, but does not move the Panel when scrolled, at least not in my OuterPanel, which is completely filled at any moment in time with Docked inner Panels.
So, okay, you implement the Scroll Event, and as I drag the scroller, I can monitor the changing values of its position: they are changing.
But, when I mouse-up on the scroller, after moving it: it snaps back to far-left position in the scrollbar, and the Panel is not scrolled at any time !
I also tried, in the code in the main Form that creates a new inner Panel, and inserts it in the OuterPanel, calling:
OuterPanel.ScrollIntoView(newInnerPanel);
OuterPanel.Invalidate(); No result, there, either.
Which is why I did not pursue use of the Scroll event, or ScrollIntoView.
I appreciate your response, and perhaps I should re-direct my attention to: when a new inner panel is added, calculating where its right border is in OuterPanel co-ordinates, and trying to somehow force the horizontal scrollbar position so that the newly added inner Panel is fully visible ?
But, will "forcing" the h-scrollbar scroller position require a pInvoke, and/or actually move the Panel ? mmmm ...
At least when AutoScroll is set to 'true, and the scrollbar appears, the Panel will be moved when you move the scroller.
Looking forward to your continuing exercise of your (greatly admired) skills in finding the 'blind spots' in code.
thanks, Bill

Hey - you only said you wanted it to show the horizontal scroll bar!

One bullet to add to the forum guidelines: don't make your answer way shorter than the question was, right or wrong, it is just too discouraging for the enquirer...
|
|
|
|

So "Yes." is out of the question then?

I am sure it is only the transferred "psychic force" (mana, shakti) of OriginalGriff just appearing in this thread that led me to go back and take another look at the 'Scroll event of a Panel.
And, shiver me timbers with a cold wind of chagrin: turns out
OuterPanel.HorizontalScroll.Value = e.NewValue; And: voila: as Galileo's final words said: "E pur si muove:" 'and yet, it moves.' The Panel scrolls !
From here, I think it should not be difficult to achieve what I want.
I still wonder about what 'ScrollIntoView, for a Control in a Panel requires to work, however.
One less blind spot for Bill, one small crawl for mankind.
thanks, Bill
