How can i get the baseline of a font object?

eg: (imagine this is a lower case g :P)

<br />
----------------- (text top is about here (top of capital letters)            <br />
   <br />
<br />
 ********<br />
**    **<br />
**    **<br />
**    **<br />
 ******* -------- (baseline is here)     <br />
      **<br />
      **<br />
 ****** --------- (textbottom is here)<br />

is it even possible to get this from a gdi+ font?

i need it for my 100% managed gdi+ html renderer engine.

look at Font.EmHeight in points, Font.GetAscent in points, Font.GetDescent in points, Font.Height in pixels

The best way to convert it, it to Font.GetHeight()*(Font.GetAscent/Font.EmHeight) given a top left as the 0,0.

I use MSComm control in a C# applications. Most time the program works well. But the only problem is that, at a certain position in the transporting sequence, the server terminal has returned reply, but the OnComm event doesn't execute immediattely. It will execute in several seconds. That seems the MSComm control doesn't work at the point for several seconds.
Anybody meet similar problem?
Can you help me? Confused | :confused:

you'll need ClipCursorAPI to limit the cursor to a specific area (rectangle)

private void panel1_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
		<br />
	Point mDL = new Point(e.X,e.Y);<br />
<br />
	if (mDL.X>panel1.Width || mDL.Y<panel1.Height)<br />
	{<br />
	  mDL.X=panel1.Location.X+panel1.Width-20;<br />
	  mDL.Y=panel1.Location.Y+panel1.Height-20;<br />
	  this.Cursor = new Cursor(Cursor.Current.Handle);<br />
	  Cursor.Position = new Point(Cursor.Position.X - 40, Cursor.Position.Y - 40);<br />
	  Cursor.Clip = new Rectangle(panel1.Location,panel1.Size);<br />
	}<br />
	panel1.Invalidate();				<br />
}

still i can move my ellipse outside the panel.And after I move the cursor outside the form I can move the cursor only in the upper part of the form?!?!
Can you give me another tips??
Thanks

How to generate keyboard events from a sys service

Hello!

I have a service installed on some winxp machines and i want the service to send the CTRL+ALT+DEL keyboard event to the host operating system, followed by a username,TAB and a password, so that i could log on the user locally on the target machine.

I don't know how to do that, nor wether it is possible for a .NET service or application to take control over the keyboard at such a low level.

Though, i can launch a MFC exe who does that but i don't know how to create that code, because my knowledge about VC++ & MFC is poor.

If anyone knows a resource, an example, a place to start digging from, for either the MFC or .NET solution, please reply.

Thanks!

You would need a global hook, to capture the ctrl+alt+del keyboard sequence, unless you just want to capture it from a specific application, then you could use an application hook.

Here is an article on windows hooking with .NET that should get you started

Thanks for the tip, but I wanted not to catch the keyboard events, but to generate them.

I will send through the network to the service on the remote machine a username and a password and it will create the CTRL+ALT+DEL event and then, one by one, the letters of the username and password strings, so that i can locally logon the user at that remote computer.

I don't know how to create those events, without using any windows.forms classes, wich normally treat such events.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete is not sent to the hook chain. It is handled ONLY by Windows (specially, most likely LSA).

First, your service must be allowed to interact with the desktop service. It does this either by logging on as LocalSystem with the "Interact with Desktop" (or something like that) option, or as a specific user (although then it would only work for that user).

Then you need to get the desktop handle for the session (like P/Invoking GetDesktopWindow - which may return NULL is there are no active users) and you can P/Invoke SendInput. See http://pinvoke.net/print.aspx/user32.sendinput[^] for an example. You can use the Keys enumeration in .NET, since the enumeration member values are the same as the native VK enumeration constants.

Sys or CPU Temperature

I am interested in how you do this as well, however one thing, the computer will have to have sensors on the motherboard for you to be able to get this information.

I couldn't find any API, if I do I'll let you know.

Good luck.

So far the only means of doing this i have found is if your motherboard have monitor software that comes with it. THen you could call it's dll. However that's not an option for me.

What mb do you have?

Hi,

You need to use SNMP or WMI in order to get CPU temperature. If you use SNMP, you need knowledge on socket programming.

Are you sure about WMI? The only thing I found in that was Win32_TemperatureProbe and that only gets you information about the "thermometers".

What are you refering to?

And SNMP is a "standard for gathering statistical data about network traffic and the behavior of network components." Will this really get me a CPU temp?

Thank you for your time.

Yes, you can use SNMP in order to get temperature through MIB, if your OS supports. But, i'm not sure about that Windows supports SNMP.

How can I remove a field from a report at runtime?

According to documentation and other questions asked in this forum, the report definition (for Crystal Reports) isn't modifiable (like that; i.e. adding and removing fields) at runtime - at least not from what is exposed to .NET. The most you could do is get the ReportObject and set its Width and Height to 0 so that it doesn't display.

Hi All, I need help on a programme that Retrieves some data from a web site. what I need is for my windows form to have three boxs on it which the user uses to input some info.

the first box = A web site adress.
Second = (string Varible) e.g. "Engineer"
thered = (string Varible) e.g. "Location"

once these have been put into the boxess and a connect button pressed the form is connected to the web site and the infomation sent into the correct boxes on the web site.
On the web site with the boxs there would also be a button that the surfer would normally click. Can I add code to my project that will perform this task automatically.

I have already got the form to connect to the server useing the TcpClient class and used the following code to upload the data.
// data input to the box
Data = Location.Text +CRLF;
szData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Data);
Server.UploadData("http://"+WebURI.Text,szData);

but this doesnt work and all I can download is the Souce code for the web site.

Can anyone Help, I dont want you to do it for me but guide me in the right direction. Smile | :)
