Thanks Philip
believe or not though i've just managed to get around it by trying something a little different.... instead of trying to re create the Rects after the scroll i just modified the mouse click point by subtracting the scroll offset .. that way i don't have to touch the Rects...
but thanks for that info .. i'm sure i'll need it further down the road at some stage
Cheers

Hello there,
i've written a control derived from System.Windows.Forms.TextBox.
When the user presses Shift + CursorLeft I want to select more than
one character under certain circumstances.
So I set the SelectionStart and the SelectionLength properties
to new values and mark the key event as handled.
After that, the TextBox always positions the cursor to the right
of the selection.
Does anybody have an idea how to avoid that? I'd like to position
the cursor to the left of the selection after that event...
Thanks a lot.

Now why the hell is this so difficult?
I mean, it works perfectly with child windows, but do I really have to go subclassing and calling API only to draw a simpke string on the background of an MDI window?
I appreciate any help about this. Thanks.

I don't know if there's a "proper" way to do this, but a workround I've found is to draw the text on a bitmap then assign this bitmap to the MDI window's BackgroundImage property. A snag is that you have to re-create the bitmap whenever the window size changes or it gets tiled (actually you probably only need to recreate it if the window gets smaller, but I haven't tested this). For example, putting the following code in the MyMDIForm_Load and the MyMDIForm_Resize event handlers works:
Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(ClientSize.Width, ClientSize.Height);<br />
Graphics gr = Graphics.FromImage(bm);<br />
gr.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Yellow), 0, 0, bm.Width, bm.Height);<br />
gr.DrawString("The cat sat on the mat", Font, new SolidBrush(Color.Red), 50, 50);<br />
BackgroundImage = bm;

Yes, thanks, but I already new this one. The solution is awkward one, and I was looking for something better
I also know how to subclass the window and then enumarate all windows to find the MDIClientWnd (which is actually a container for all child windows) and then to intercept WM_PAINT and WM_ERASEBKGND messages to get a device context to draw onto.
But this all is just too much for a simple drawing on the MDI background, so I was just wondering if I am missing something obvious.
Thanks for yor answers anyways, I appreciate it.

Try this in the MDI parent form:
foreach(Control c in Controls)
{
MdiClient mc = c as MdiClient;
if (null != mc)
{
using(Graphics g = mc.CreateGraphics())
{
g.DrawString(...);
}
}
}As far as I can see, the MdiClient class is the managed equivalent of the MDIClientWnd.

Thanks, your solution is a smart one, and it works, but only partially. When I put this in the Form_Load event it will draw the text, but then any child window that moves over that area of MDI background where the text is drawn will actually erase it. I put it in the load event, so to draw it only ones for the lifetime of the application, if I put it in the paint event it does not work at all.
But thanks for your code anyways, it is good to know that MdiClient class maps to the MdiClientWnd, which is something I totally disregarded.

The general question is: How I can make a class that will support this kind of command:
book[1].name
or
book[7].FindInText ("This is a first line");
I mean for this part of code (book[5]) I need a n indexer inside of class 'book' but indexer properties can only accept accesories like Set; and Get; -How I can add my own function/properties to indexer ? Or may be I don't need an indexer to do this ?
Please if you can - write a little peace of code that will provide solution and help me understand thecnics used. Thank you

This is done by returning a class from you indexer:
public class Books: CollectionBase<br />
{<br />
public Books()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void Add(Book book)<br />
{<br />
List.Add(book);<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void Remove(Book book)<br />
{<br />
List.Remove(book); <br />
}<br />
<br />
public Book this[int index]<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
return (Book) List[index];<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public class Book<br />
{<br />
public Book()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void FindInText(String value)<br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
public String name<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
return "hello, world";<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}

10x man for quick answer - It's look very simple now but there's some problem with this code in my program  Actually I making program that will be Outlook client (receive e-mails from Inbox,manage them,send, etc...) For this purpose I made an .DLL that will implement all function,properties that I need in my main() program. Generally I read one by one all e-mails in Inbox and return to main() program the properties of this e-mail item. To work with e-mail item I need to know it serial number (number in the list,index..) So I came up with idea how to handle (error traping,return error codes..) e-mail's from my DLL. For this I made function like
String Subject (int eMailIndex)
{
try
{ return this.emailItem.Subject.ToString(); }
catch
{ throw (new System.Exception ("eMail is not found"); }
}
But number of requred function is grow up quickly (like GetSenderName,GetReceivedTime, etc...) and all of them requred just an index (integer) of active e-mail item. So I thought instead sending all the time the integer with the function, make an indexer that will do all the work. The problem is - I don't know how to write this Some function requred just an index some of them requred some parameters to be send with them and not just an index, and I don't have any collection (and don't need it) in my class and nowhere in the program (So I can not work directly with .List[index] ). Can you help me to write such a class that will do this work ? (Don't worry about connection to Outlook - I'll make it myself - just name it with guesible names (like eMailItem) and I'll do all the rest)
P.S. If you know any site that will help me with Outlook programing please send me a link too if you can

There are a number of solutions
1) An indexer does not have to be a integer - you can use any type of object, so create a class that contains the index of the email and the command you want to execute.
2) Use a standard index to get the email back then add a function to the class for every outlook function.
I prefer the later as its more oo.

Hmmm.. always get an error
Compiler Error CS0021

Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'type'
An attempt was made to access a value through an index operation on a data type that does not support array-like operations.

post the code so I can see whats wrong.

I've loaded an image into a control. Now the User can choose a particular region in the image. Once the user releases the mouse, the entire image has to be zoomed by a specific factor and the scrollbar should be moved to point to the region that the user selected.
Approach: I tried out the followin approach.
I zoomed the entire image and move the horizontal and the vertical scrollbar to the start of the zoomed region.
The problem is: The selected region thats captured corresponds to the original bitmap, but when the image is zoomed the coordinates changes. So is there any way that i can find out the coordinates of the clicked part in the zoomed image.
Any other approach to this problem is also highly appreciated

Just trying. What if you keep a bitmap object with the original image?

Hey
I didn't get u. Can u be bit more elaborate. It would be helpful if u could give some sample codes
|
|
|
|
|
either using the scale* on your picture/form or just multiple your coordinates by size.

i want to make a text display on a textbox according to what I type in another textbox after I press a button. I am trying to get this to happen on one Main Form several times having the thread stop at each question and then resume after the button is pressed stopping for the next question.I was thinking of using a Thread.Sleep() method but am getting confused pretty quickly being new at programming.
|
|

|

don't use sleep - it will break your app.
much simpler use a variable with either a number or a enum - this is your state.
every time the use presses the button increate the state and then do which every action is required for that state.

Hmmmm,
Say I use XmlDocument to load an XML file off disk, now I cannot call Save on this same file eh? I even tried to call Close on the XmlTextReader used to load the XML but even then it wont let me save to the same file.
THus if I want to edit c:\aaa.xml I need to create c:\aaa1.xml, then del aaa.xml and rename aaa1 to aaa. I dont like this at all.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?

Nish
