Actually, you don't even need to create the structure - only alloc enough memory to hold the LOGFONT information (remember that C/C++ has no such CTS like .NET), taking into account those last 32 characters, which could either be 32 bytes or 64 bytes depending on the current platform. Either way, it doesn't matter.

Thanks for all of your suggestions.
I just got an idea to create some variables for storing up the fonts status only, like bold, Italic etc..
Because I can't sure all variables in LOGFONT are useful, since Fonts(c#) does not contains lfEscapement, IfOrientation, lfOutPrecision, IfClipPrecision etc.
So I concern it may not able to output a correct text with the font I set in C# Fonts. I don't know what if I select some Asian, France, or Symbol for outputing.
so, what is the best way to do??

As the other person mentioned, you just call Font.ToLogFont - it takes care of everything. You don't need to fill the struct (or memory block) yourself. The LOGFONT does include all the parameters necessary to display your text using the Font you specify. To make sure that other fields are filled in, also pass an instance of the Graphics object for your operation, which you would get either from the PaintEventArgs (if in a Paint event handler) or from a call to CreateGraphics (don't forget to dispose the Graphics object in the latter case - do not dispose of it in the Paint event handler since the calling code will do it).

One More problem is the IfFaceName is TChar, how can I make it possible to store unicode FontName, like Chinese Font Name / Korean Font Name?
|
|
|
|

I'm sorry, I just got one problem can't solve yesterday....
If the font name I selected in C# is a Chinese name or Korea name, it can't fill correctly in C++. C++ just got one character.
I think it is the Unicode problem. When I select the font with Chinese name or Korea name, it can't copied to IfFaceName(in C++), because IfFaceName is TChar.
So I tried to set the project to use Unicode CharSet, then all chars become WChar; should I re-define the Size of IfFaceName, as it only allows max 32 chars. And also I can't use strcpy to copy WChar to Char ??
How can I prevent this problem ??
Thanks for help

Hi gurus,
In C#, I am writting a small program that sends text over a network (lan/web) using the sockets.
I can connect a client to a server, but I how can I see if a client disconnect from a server after being connected and how a client can see if the server is disconnected after being connected?
Thanks.
There is no spoon.

Try communicating in a set interval (a "ping" as it's commonly called). If they aren't connected for any reason, and exception would be thrown so be sure to handle it. There really is not other sure way of doing. Sure, you could implement some mechanism in your protocol where the client tells the server it's disconnecting, but that would assume that the connection wasn't interrupted. You could still implement such a protocol (it's common, like in SMTP, FTP, DICT, etc.), but don't rely on that as the only way for the reason I mentioned previously.

I am using quartz.dll in a thread to play some background music. I have made the sound named mc and i call mc.Run() inside a thread that i ahve named backgroundsound.
In any case when i close the application It still shows up in the processes as running. I can't seem to figure out how to complete dispose of all mc objects or threads if you will.
In my dispose i call backgroundsound.abort() to abort my thread and i call mc.stop() to stop the playing of my sound. Nothing seems to work any suggestions would be great.

Aborting your thread is not a good idea. You should terminate it gracefully when possible, whether that's through some static field you poll or some other mechanism.
The solution is more simple, though. When you create your thread, set Thread.IsBackground to true before you call Start. This won't prevent the thread from executing like a foreground thread, which instance of the Thread class are by default.

Hi everyone,
I am experimenting with ASP.NET charting. I have a bitmap of a given length and width and what I want to do is draw a string in the center of it. Is there a way to calculate the string parameters according to the specified font etc., so that I can know where exactly to draw it so that it will fall in the center.
Thanks,
Pankaj

You can try the MeasureString function, it gives you the size occupied by the string for the specified Font object.

Thanks Kannan!
I was using font.Size methods and all and wondering why it was not working.
Sincerely,
Pankaj

How to get the time when the program executing
Mr Duc Linh Nguyen
|
|
|
|
|
Do you mean DateTime.Now ?

I mean. I got a function and i execute it, then i want to know how long does function execute.
Mr Duc Linh Nguyen
|
|
|
|
|
Just record the time when the application/method begins execution and diff the time when it stops.
DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan duration = DateTime.Now - start;
Console.WriteLine("Ran for {0} milliseconds.", duration.Milliseconds);This is basically what Christian's source that someone mentioned is doing. I mean, how else would you do it?
If you want a more thorough solution, I recommend a CLR profile like this free one[^] from Microsoft.

Dear all,
i try to popup a dialog when i change item in a drop down list. i use javascript:
SelectDropDownList1.Attributes.Add("SelectedIndexChanged","Javascript: return confirm('sure?');");

Is AutoPostBack set to true on the control ?
Try not! Do or do not, there is no try. - Master Yoda

First of all, it's "javascript:return myconfirm();" (notice the colon), but you shouldn't use the "javascript" declaration. This scheme is only necessary when you use it in an attribute that accepts a URL, such as the A.href attribute.
If you change the the handler for the onchange event of your element, auto-post back won't occur since events only work with a single handler. You can, however, call __doPostBack (with the necessary params) in your myconfirm function. The work-around for this problem is just what I mentioned: since you can only have a single handler for an event, have that handler call other functions. Of course, you should call __doPostBack last since it will create a new request (thus resulting in round trip to the server).

Heath,
i try to work it out follow your way. here is the code i wrote:
in test.aspx.cs
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// b1 is a invisible button will save change to database
string sCmd = Page.GetPostBackClientHyperlink(b1,"");
string script1 = "javacript: return myconfirm(" + sCmd + ")";
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
DropDownList1.Attributes.Add("onchange",script1);
}
}
in test.aspx
function myconfirm(cmd)
{
var agree = confirm("sure?");
if (agree)
eval(cmd);
}
but the browser always said the javascript code had errors. is there any error in string script1.
thanks.

As I mentioned before, don't include "javascript:" before your script. You only do this in URL attributes, like <a href="javascript:doSomething();">Do something</a>. In event attributes, you don't include this because they only work with script.

Hi Heath,

Look at the rendered output when the AutoPostBack is set to true. There should be an attribute there that you could "override" in such a way.
Another way in both cases is to let ASP.NET do it's job and post back to the server, then use RegisterStartupSCript to include inline javascript toward the end of the page (before the single server-side form's closing tag) that pops up a window. When you start overriding event attributes, you take a big risk at breaking the ASP.NET pipeline (which is why - as I mentioned before - you must make sure you call __doPostBack with the right params in your javascript function).

Hi guyz,
Does any of you know how to pop up a save file dialog box for a web application? For example, if we want to save files (image, windows media files,mp3s) from the web to the user-end pc.
Thanks in advance guyz.

I believe the dialog you mention is part of your browser functionality. For example, IE or whatever browser you use will prompt you for download, show progress of files that are to be downloaded, or even launch the file with appropriate application.
All you do is create the hyperlink for the downloaded content (i.e. zip, wmv, etc.)
Example:
<a href="/relativepath/somefile.mpg>A cool tune</a>
The browser will handle the file according to the settings. For example, it may launch a hyperlinked .mpg file with Media Player or some other player that is registered with your operating system.
