LocationChanged to set windowstate=Maximized

It states that Visual Studio Code supports only a "limited subset" of VS project types.

If you "guys" are going to succeed at working together, you better agree on a common IDE and source code manager / version control.

How do I implement a Window app to maximize when user moves the window from one display monitor to another. When the move occurs LocationChanged event is triggered and the window state becomes Normal.

I tried this.WindowState=FormWindowState.Maximized in the LocationChanged handler. However, the window does not maximized. Likely because it triggered circular reference. I had also implemented a module Boolean variable to avoid this. However, the window never maximized.

What is the proper way to implement this?

Thank you in advance for your response.

While the mouse button is down, as far as the system is concerned, the window is still moving. I would look at setting a flag in the LocationChanged event to let you know that the window is moving, and then set the FormWindowState in the MouseUp event (and then resetting that flag too, of course).

Cheers,

I think the ResizeBegin and ResizeEnd events will help you. The naming is misleading as the purpose of these events is to indicate when the form is showing the resizing border. Click and hold on the form border or caption bar and the ResizeBegin event is raised. ResizeEnd is seen on release whether or not any resizing has occurred.

Here is a trivial (and annoying) modification to a form to make it maximise when it is moved without having changed it's size.

private Rectangle? lastBounds;

protected override void OnResizeBegin(EventArgs e) {
  base.OnResizeBegin(e);
  System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print("EVENT ResizeBegin");
  lastBounds = Bounds;
}

protected override void OnResizeEnd(EventArgs e) {
  base.OnResizeBegin(e);
  System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print("EVENT ResizeEnd");
  if (lastBounds.HasValue) {
    Rectangle previous = lastBounds.Value;
    // Maximise when moved without resizing
    if (previous != Bounds && previous.Size == Bounds.Size) {
      WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
    }
    lastBounds = null;
  }
}

In your case it would be necessary to detect the System.Windows.Forms.Screen containing the form in ResizeBegin and test for the desired destination Screen in ResizeEnd.

Alan.

Hi Mick, Alan
MouseUp and ResizeBegin/End works wonderfully. Thank you and Happy New Year.

Simulate Desktop Mouse Scroll (Via C++ PInvoke)

I am attempting to simulate a mouse scroll on the desktop screen (Windows 10) and use the following:

SendMessage
(
    GetDesktopWindow(), 
    WM_MOUSEWHEEL, 
    MakeWParam
    (
        LowWord((uint)MK_CONTROL),         
        HighWord
        (
            (uint)System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.MouseWheelScrollDelta
        )
    ), 
    MakeLParam(0, 0)
);

const int WM_MOUSEWHEEL = 0x020A;

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, UInt32 Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = false)]
static extern IntPtr GetDesktopWindow();

public static ushort LowWord(uint val)
{
    return (ushort)val;
}

public static ushort HighWord(uint val)
{
    return (ushort)(val >> 16);
}

private int MakeLParam(int p, int p_2)
{
    return ((p_2 << 16) | (p & 0xFFFF));
}

public static uint MakeWParam(ushort low, ushort high)
{
    return ((uint)high << 16) | (uint)low;
}

I get stuck because I do not know what to replace MK_CONTROL constant with, which is used to create a "low word." I've searched far and wide, but can't find anything as it relates to WM_MOUSEWHEEL.

I got the algorithm itself from this page, but it's all in C++...

Ultimately, I found this article, but it does not suggest it is a constant of any kind or how to use it with SendMessage method.

I am trying to understand the DbContext class by going to its definition and look at its members.

I am confused by what I saw in DbContext's definition, all of the methods in the DbContext class only have method signatures but no body (no implementation). Please see some of the methods below.

public virtual int SaveChanges();
public virtual DbSet Set(Type entityType);

Can someone please explain why all of the methods in the DbContext class look like they are abstract methods in an abstract class or methods in an interface. If these are concrete methods why don't they have implementations?

I don't know what you're looking at but those do have implementations. They're overridable, but they do have default implementations.

Examine the source for DbContext here[^].

Can you give us the whole structure of the class you are looking at? You are looking at wrong place I guess.

Hi, thank you for replying. I have a class that inherits from the DbContext class and to go to DbContext class definition, I placed the cursor on DbContext and pressed F12.

For the most part the definition of DbContext that I saw looked like the one shown in the link provided by Dave Kreskowiak above. The only problem is that none of the methods have implementations.

You're looking at the peek definition window. It shows the definition for the type or method symbol your cursor is currently on. It can not show implementation code it doesn't have access to like in an external DLL. In that case it only displays metadata.

So you're looking at positional indexing. In other words, get the string from position 0 to 4 then 5 to 8 and so on. The string class has many features that could make this life easier for you but, if I were you, I would look at the Substring[^] command.

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.
So why would you want to disable the keyboard when the system is idle, given that the system will only become "busy" again in response to events - one of which is the user typing on the keyboard?

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

There's a difference between an idle user and an idle system, and normal applications cannot disable all keys.

What are you trying to achieve?
