in my original idea, i dont want my application to be tied into other applcation.i thought it would interfere with other appliction's nomarl process.
from these words:but you don't want your application to be tied into the other application at all,i guess :
if my application is tied into other application,will it have the ablitiy to do the work ?
could you make a suggestion about your idea ?

Is the "Other Application" something that your developing? If it is you could tie the two together somehow, sending a message to your "Listening" application to prompt it to do something?

Without knowing the entire problem it's difficult to suggest anything specific.

Hope you are able to solve the problem.

i think the real problem is: "The other applciation" is not my developing . So i want to find a way how to monitor other application 's status to comfirm whethere there occurs an error.
in my opinion, if i can recorgnize a messagebox's displaying i can guess there might be an error occured.

I don't know if it would even be possible, if the other application doesn't do anything more than display a MessageBox then i wouldn't know how to do it.

Maybe someone who knows a little more about how windows works will be able to help you but this is a bit above me i'm afraid.

Hope you resolve your problem.

Hi..
In my form, I have three combo boxes, one Add button one Save button
and a listview.

Step 1:The comboboxes is being populated by a dataset.
Step 2: On clicking the add button, the listview should get populated with the contents of the combobox.text.
I can repeat Step2 a number of times, each time selecting a different value in the comboBox and adding in the ListView
Step 3: on clicking the Save button, all the data in the listview should be saved in a database.

How will I accomplish this the task? How do i save the Columns and fields of the ListView into a dataset

plz help with code or explanation

Thanks

The ListView does not support data-binding like this. You must enumerate ListView.Items and for each row enumerate ListViewItem.SubItems. Each ListViewItem represents a separate DataRow which can be inserted into your DataTable (within a DataSet) in many different ways, which would be obvious if you read the class documentation[^] for the DataTable class in the .NET Framework SDK.

There are several methods that work a little different, from simply adding the row to updating an existing row (by key) or adding if the key doesn't exist. It's not worth discussing here because it's all documented in the .NET Framework SDK, which I've linked above.

I know a little bit that i have to create a menifest file. but i dont know how.

Thanks in advance,

if your app is not running on an XP machine, creating a manifest won't help. If you are running XP, just add the following 2 lines to your app's Main function:

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.DoEvents();

There are many articles about owner-drawing buttons and other controls both here on CodeProject and around the 'net. Try searching this site or using google.

This isn't XP themes, however. The theming API is only available in Windows XP and newer, and the common controls library that supports themes is only available for Windows XP and newer. This is covered in the Theme API documentation.

Length of proportional width string

Hi, does anyone know any way to find the length of a string that will be displayed using a proportional width font?

A proportional width font is one that displays letters at different widths e.g. i gets less pixels than G.

use Graphics.MeasureString(string, font)
This will return a SizeF object with the width of the string in pixels.

Printing Controls with Page Margins

Hi,
I'm printing Form Controls (buttons,labels, textboxes and such).
I'm trying to set the left margin for the printing page, but it's not working.
The code to change to landscape works OK though... what's up?

private void menuPrint_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = 200;
this.printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
this.printDocument1.Print();
}

thanks,
Ron

That code should set the left margin correctly but your problem might be in your printing code instead.

inside your print method how are you deciding where to print your objects?

printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(myPen, e.MarginBounds.Left, Y, Width, Height);<br />
}

I believe that would print a rectangle starting at the left hand margin of your printed page.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Kev,
I'm new to programming and thought that margin would be added automatically to the control coordinate already given. I'll try something like this:

ControlPaint.DrawButton(g, t.Left + e.MarginBounds.Left, t.Top + e.MarginBounds.Top, t.Width, t.Height, ButtonState.Pushed );

Printing allows you to print in the page margins because Headers and Footers go into the margins.

Anyway, good luck with your printing.
