Sorry for the not so descriptive or apt title but I have been trying to do this for a while now but to no effect and its getting to me. I have a chat server(console application) and a chat client (winform application) and a separate winform application which only has a button on it. Whenever there is any new message and if the client window is minimized then i want that the button on that separate winform turns red. Once the client window gets restored or maximized then it should turn back to yellow which is also the original color of the button. I am able to achieve the change of color when a message is received but not taking into consideration the minimized state etc. If i try to do that using IsIconic nothing happens. What i have done is that get a handle of the client winform in the server application and checking if it is Iconic or not. Please guide as i am stuck on this for a while. The code is as follows:
The Server Application:

/*

I have been stuck on this for a while now and would really appreciate any help or sample code or correction of code...really anything at all

I don't think anyone is going to look at that code until it is edited, properly indented and placed between <pre> tags like:
private void buttonUCT_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Process.Start("C:\\Users\\MainUser\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\Projects\\chatServer\\chatServer\\bin\\Debug\\chatServer.exe");
}
You also need to be much more specific about where in the code the errors/problems occur.
Use the best guess

I am making android game in unity it is a bout ball hit a wall then reflect to player and the player should press on right button(cube) of 4 button(cubes)->(up,under,right,left) to reflect the ball to wall and if he press on wrong button the ball do not reflect and the player lose chance of 3 chances , and the player have 3 chances if he lose it the game stop
so -i want c# script to make the ball reflect randomly in 4 position(up,under,right,left)
and -other one to fixed if the player press on right button or no
and -other one to make 3 chances and if he lose it the game stop
please help me  ,
thanks,

You would be much better off asking in the Unity forums for this.

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to display the suggestions in a list box with a key from textbox?
let say I type in TextBox "ap" then listbox will show
"apple"
"appliances"
"application"
something like that?
Thanks for your help.

You will have to build your own logic to implement this kind of textbox.
AutoCompleteMode[^] can be used - however, the dropdown still needs to be implemented.
This sample[^] might help you.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Abhinav,
I tried that already but I think I should display the suggestion in Listbox to create an awesome effect.
But thank you for the reply.

Yes you can do this. The events of the TextBox will help you in this case. You need to capture key events, may be KeyDown, KeyUp, or KeyPress help you in that case. In that event, write code for fetching the list which you need to bind with the listbox on the basis of the text entered in the TextBox and then bind it.
Hope it will work

Thanks SaqibRasheed,
I think this was a great suggestion. I am just wondering if there's a quick solution for that, like you just have to set the property of a list box same with the autoComplete feature of textbox.
Thanks.

I have worked with VS 2008 and there was no such property like autoComplete for TextBox. May be later versions of Visual Studio are having such property.
|

It's probably the case you just never used TextBox's AutoComplete facility, and have forgotten it was there.
AutoComplete facilities, like those in the ComboBox, have been implemented in the TextBox Control from .NET Framework 2.0~4.5, and in the .NET Client Profile from 3.5 SP1 to 4.
Visual Studio 2008, November, 2007, used FrameWork 3.5.

You can achieve this functionality using only a WinForms ComboBox.
Just set the ComboBox 'AutoComplete property to 'Suggest; and, set the 'AutoCompleteSoure property to 'ListItems. The AutoSuggest feature will work with the ComboBox 'DropDownStyle property set to either 'Simple, or 'DropDown, but not 'DropDownList.
Enter a set of items, using the design-time editor, for example:
aardvarks
axolotls
bears
beavers
bushmasters
chickens
civet cats
coyotes
dingos
eagles
foxes
gorillas
horses
hyenas
Run the application, and watch what's presented in the auto-dropdown when you type the character "b," and then observe what's presented when you enter "be."
Note that you can set the font, color, style, etc. of what your type, what's displayed after your choice, in the text-entry area, but the suggest drop-down items will use a default Windows small-size font.
You can also define a 'CustomSource for your 'Suggest list[^].

I tried it before but I think I should display the suggestion on a listbox.
Thanks anyway.

A ListBox does not implement any AutoComplete facilities; it's one of the simpler Controls. It has no "DropDown" behavior built into it.
Of course, you could spend a few weeks building your own UserControl that contained a TextBox (which does support Auto-Complete), and somehow co-ordinate that with which items are displayed in a ListBox, and by the time you have wasted many hours developing that, and dealing with all the possible complications: you will have duplicated a ComboBox with AutoComplete, and that control is going to be very slow in response, compared to using a ComboBox
good luck, Bill

Create a new usercontrol and place a textbox and listbox on it.
Then add this as the code behind the control
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Data;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
private DataTable autocompletelist;
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
autocompletelist = new DataTable();
autocompletelist.Columns.Add("item", typeof(string));
autocompletelist.DefaultView.Sort = "[item] ASC";
listBox1.DataSource = autocompletelist;
listBox1.DisplayMember = "item";
listBox1.ValueMember = "item";
listBox1.Visible = false;
fillautocomplete();
textBox1.TextChanged += textBox1_TextChanged;
listBox1.DoubleClick += listBox1_DoubleClick;
this.Leave += new System.EventHandler(this.UserControl1_Leave);
}
private void fillautocomplete()
{
autocompletelist.Rows.Add(new object[] { "ape" });
autocompletelist.Rows.Add(new object[] { "apple" });
autocompletelist.Rows.Add(new object[] { "apppliance" });
autocompletelist.Rows.Add(new object[] { "application" });
autocompletelist.Rows.Add(new object[] { "boy" });
autocompletelist.Rows.Add(new object[] { "bat" });
}
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
autocompletelist.DefaultView.RowFilter = "[item] LIKE '" + textBox1.Text + "*'";
listBox1.Visible = autocompletelist.DefaultView.Count > 0;
}
private void listBox1_DoubleClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (listBox1.SelectedValue != null)
{
textBox1.Text = listBox1.SelectedValue.ToString();
}
listBox1.Visible = false;
textBox1.SelectionStart = textBox1.Text.Length;
textBox1.Focus();
}
public override string Text
{
get {return textBox1.Text;}
set {textBox1.Text = value;}
}
private void UserControl1_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
listBox1.Visible = false;
}
}
}

 Interesting work TnTinMn !
I really enjoyed studying your code, and seeing what you did with a DataSet, and the AutoComplete filter, thanks.
There are, however, some structural problems I see with your solution:
1. a ListBox has no 'AutoSize property: you never adjust its height, so, unless its height is equal to the possible maximum height (sum of the heights of all matches) of any possible single-character match, which, imho is undesirable visually. Then:
2. if the ListBox Height is too "short" to accommodate all the items of a given match: you will have to use the up-down selector at the ListBox right, to scroll to get to see all the possible matches. imho, that's an unacceptable burden on the user.
3. your solution will work for a single character entered at the start of a TextBox only.
4. when the TextBox is cleared, all the choices are displayed.
5. if you enter two spaces, followed by a valid letter, like "a" in this case, no choices appear.
If you modify your code like this:
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox1.Text))
{
if (listBox1.Visible) listBox1.Visible = false;
return;
}
autocompletelist.DefaultView.RowFilter = "[item] LIKE '" + textBox1.Text + "*'";
if (autocompletelist.DefaultView.Count > 0)
{
listBox1.Visible = true;
listBox1.Height = (autocompletelist.DefaultView.Count + 1) * listBox1.ItemHeight;
}
else
{
listBox1.Visible = false;
}
}Now the user will see all the possible matches, filtered as you would expect, but the control's behavior still has the other problems mentioned above: with the code as it is now.
While your solution is "fun," haven't you duplicated the function of a ComboBox ?
yours, Bill

Bill,
I agree that this essentially duplicates that the function of the ComboBox and I see no need for it myself.
I had read through this thread and seen that you were trying to steer the OP to using a ComboBox (I agree that this makes the most sense), but he/she seemed insistent on having a separate list box. My primary goal was to show a simple way to create the filtered list and get it presented in the ListBox. I was not focused too much on the control's usability or aesthetics as those criteria would have been my own and not the OP's; after all, this is not an article on how to write a replacement ComboBox. 
Quote: 3. your solution will work for a single character entered at the start of a TextBox only.
I don't understand this statement. The filter will find all matches that start with the TextBox text.Quote: 5. if you enter two spaces, followed by a valid letter, like "a" in this case, no choices appear
This by design (sheesh, I sound like MS justifying a bug  ). It is the same filterin behavior that the ComboBox autocomplete has.
I'm glad that you had some fun playing with it.

Hi all!
First I want to thank to the site because really has a great utility, ever I have a question who has the answer in CodeProject.
I want to develop a software for a SME(Small and medium enterprise), and I think that should exists a template for develop it (with a basic management of customers, stock, registry of sales and purchases). I want to customize it a lot but I don't want to develop starting from zero, because I don't have much time and the base code is typical for all the SMEs. The base of the software is basic, for that I think that a open source code from a project should exists. I like C#, but I know Java, and C++ too.
Thanks all!!

Not likely. I've never seen nor heard of a "template" piece of software like you describe.
|
|

|

I agree with Dave, I am pretty sure such a template does not exists, there may be a database schema to get you started here[^]
The rest of it is going to have to be done from scratch I think.

You may get some help on the internet - both with technology and the functional domain itself. However, there is no "boilerplate template" that will help you get any solution in place.
What you build is unique and your own solution so why do you want to use a template anyway?
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe a template was not the correct word.
I need a sample to help me to understand the structure or the solution clearly, to accelerate the time of design and the coding time. Is a typical program, I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Thank's for the fast answers
