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

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.

hello Friend i have to know how to split below string in particular part. i have find this type of string in bar-code scanner as a input
I have a input
Hide Copy Code
0.1042.5140.7043.037.000.005.063.613.761.70.062
and i want output
0.104
2.51
40.70
43.0
37.00
0.00
5.0
63.6
13.7
61.7
0.06
please help me to solve this.

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.

What is the basis or pattern for the split? You example appears random.

string s = "0.1042.5140.7043.037.000.005.063.613.761.70.062";
List<int> widths = new List<int>() { 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4 };
int index = 0;
widths.ForEach( w => { Console.WriteLine( s.Substring( index, w ) ); index += w; } );

How to disable the keys while the system is in idle time ?
How to count the idle time of a user ?

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?

Ummm... why on earth would you disable a keyboard that isn't being used at the time?

I know that Func<t,tresult> is a delegate that takes T as a parameter and returns TResult as an output but I do not know what the following means.
Expression<Func<T, TResult>>
Can someone please explain what the above syntax means and how it is used.

Hi, thanks for replying. Your link does not help me understand what an Expression is in C# or how to use it.
I came across a method the other day and I was trying to find out what the syntax is trying do. I've been looking at tutorials on Expression on Youtube and Google but it didn't really help.
The following is the method I mentioned but I don't really know what it is supposed to do.
public IEnumerable<T> Find(Expression<Func<T, bool>> predicate)
{
return Context.Set<T>().Where(predicate);
}

In what you have posted here it allows you to pass a lambda statement as the argument. For example
MyClass.Find(p=> p.id == 12);
or
string[] toInclude = new string[] { "Hi", "Why", "Bye"};
MyClass.Find(p=> toInclude(p) == true);

Expression<Func<T, TResult>> represents a strongly-typed expression tree of a lambda or function. Expression trees represent expressions like a < b stored in a tree structure. So what are they used for? Well, that's open to your imagination honestly. A common scenario is if you want to modify a code expression based on some currently unknown or later business logic. Since an expression tree is a data representation of a code expression you're free to modify it before calling Compile() and executing it. This is essential for LINQ-to-SQL which transforms expressions like from a in db.table select a into an expression tree which is then transformed into the necessary SQL for the actual DB call. Expression trees are also heavily used in the Dynamic Language Run-time.
As far as the specific example in your other post:
public IEnumerable<T> Find(Expression<Func<T, bool>> predicate)
{
return Context.Set<T>().Where(predicate);
}
Context is most likely a DbContext object. Set<T>() returns a DbSet<T> of all entities of the type given to Set. Then Where is called to filter the result based on the predicate expression which, instead of just being a lambda, is stored as an expression tree - I'm guessing because of some other logic elsewhere in the application otherwise this seems a little over-the-top.
EDIT: Forgot to add how to use them. In LINQ you treat it like any other function. Outside of LINQ you call Compile() to create the Func delegate. To create them is as simple as assigning a lambda in simple cases. For example, Expression<Func<int,int>> incrementTree = a => a + 1;. In more complex cases, you may need to explicitly use the expression tree API which you can find links to in the MSDN guide below.
