Ahhh... now I think it's starting to make sense! Thank you!
But how do I "derive" a C# class from a Managed C++ class?

"2. You can create GUI in C#, it's easy enough even for beginner. But if you want to create custom controls, I wouldn't advice.
The fastest way is to use controls created by someone or just "skin" your application as it's normally done with multimedia applications.

These "custom" controls - are you talking about ActiveX controls? Where do I get these custom controls? Can I put these custom controls into the C# form that I created?

Could you elaborate on the skinning process? What happens to the C# form I created when I perform the skinning process? Can the C# form and the skinning process co-exist? Also, when I trigger a menu item on my "skinned" application, and a submenu pops up, then how do I process to skin the submenu? That's what I'm confused about.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sounds like you are familiar with this process.

How can I Set a Key in a ImageList??

15-Jul-03 8:50

OK. I found this template library for DirectShow: Seems like no one else has taken this approach. Do you know why?

http://www.kohsuke.org/dotnet/directshowTypelib/

Does this template library solve my problem of working with DirectShow in .NET? So I can use the template library to do MC++ and C# programming?

Passing data through tiers with collections

Hi,

I'am looking for examples or articles concerning following :

N-tier application :
Data layer -> gives datasets to the business layer
In the business layer we make collections (each row in dataset is an object in the collection).
Business layer and UI works with the collections.

Lets say in the UI we have a grid with all the objects of the collection. In this grid we can add, update and delete (objects in the collection).

What is the best way to go from the collection to the database?
Do I have to mentioned in each object if it is added, updated, deleted or not changed? Also each object have a timestamp to look if there are no changes in the database.
So, al the features of ADO.NET I can't use, because of the collection.

Is there someone who have any idea's?
Thanks in advance,
Vic

Opera Browser - GetClassName!

I am trying to get the ClassName of the Opera browser and then read the url from the address bar but I can't seem to get the name of the address bar. What is it? I am using Spy++ and no luck. Other browsers' address bars are typically called "Edit" but not in Opera.

[code]
Declare Function GetClassName Lib "user32" Alias "GetClassNameA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal nMaxCount As Long) As Long

[/code]

You could do it with macros, but I don't think I would. I'd be more likely to write a C# program that opened the file and used regex to do the replacements. I'd use a regex something like:

Regex regex = new Regex(@"
/\*\* # start of comment
\s+
(?<comment> # capture to named Comment
.+?\s+ # comment text
) # end of capture
\s+
\*\*/ # end of comment.",
RegexOptions.Singleline |
RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace);

and then use a MatchEvaluator function like:

static public string Evaluator(Match match) {
string[] lines = match.Groups["Comment"].Value.Split('\n');
for (int i = 0; i < lines.Count; i++)
lines[i] = "///" + lines[i];
return String.Join("\n", lines);
}

If you put a WebBrowser control in a Form, and then put that Form inside another Form (set it's Parent to the other form and set TopLevel to false, which is perfectly legal according to the docs), then when you quit your application (close the outer Form), it will stay resident in memory and eat up 100% of CPU time. (You can see it doing this in the Task Manager). This is probably caused by that OLEinPlace stuff somehow but I don't know OLE so that's totally a guess.

This is a HUGE problem for me. MASSIVE!!

How can I make one Form show another?

Re: How can I make one Form show another?

14-Jul-03 8:26

Hello all,

Here's my problem. I have a Windows Form with some controls on it. When the user clicks a button, I want a second form to appear, and the first one to be hidden. I've drawn up both forms, so how can I make Form1 display Form2?

Thanks!

J. Dunlap14-Jul-03 8:34

Re: How can I make one Form show another?

14-Jul-03 8:34

Form2 frm=new Form2();
frm.Show();
this.Hide(); //or this.Close();

Re: Actually I do have one more question

14-Jul-03 8:46

I have one other detail I hope you won't mind answering. When the second form is closed via the close button (next to the minimize and maximize buttons in the upper right) the second form is disposed. However, Form1 remains, albeit hidden. So the program doesn't terminate.

I've tried calling Form1.Dispose() after Form2 is shown but that just quits the program. Any thoughts on how I can make the program quit when the user clicks the X?

J. Dunlap14-Jul-03 8:48

14-Jul-03 8:48

You'll want to do this.Close(), not this.Hide. But that will release the ref to Form2, which may make it close, too. How about

Application.Run(new Form2());
this.Close();

I get this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: It is invalid to start a second message loop on a single thread. Use Application.RunDialog or Form.ShowDialog instead.

Trying Application.RunDialog gives me this error:

C:\Documents and Settings\...\Form1.cs(402): 'System.Windows.Forms.Application.RunDialog(System.Windows.Forms.Form)' is inaccessible due to its protection level

Not sure exactly what that means, but any other thoughts? (Oh, and this.Close() on Form1 does quit the app.)

Fixed it, kinda

I went into the Closed event for Form2 and just put in this line, which works:

Application.Exit();

Still, I'd like to know if there's a way to do it without having to add that.
