I have a display (kind of NUnit stuff) with two RichTextBox displays.
Left one is test results / right box is original results showing green or red.
What I want to do:
If someone scrolls either window up or down the other window scrolls in concert as well.
Has anyone successfully attempted this?
Thanks,
Michael

It's possible and quite easy. There are serveral articles here on CodeProject that describe this in various languages, and if you click "Search comments" you can search this message board where we've discussed this before as well.
One such article is Scrolling Around with the RichTextBox Control[^]. It's in VB.NET but mostly calls to the BCL and P/Invoke method (PostMessage, to be exact). You handle the scrolling events (or notification message sent to the native window handle (HWND), which does make things easier) and post them to the message queue for another RichTextBox. Keep in mind that almost all the Windows Forms controls are just encapsulating native Common Controls, so windows messages are still sent/posted and handled by a window procedure (defined as Control.WndProc).

I have a component in which the ErrorProvider is defined upon initialization of the component as:
<br />
valueErrorProvider = new System.Windows.Forms.ErrorProvider();<br />
valueErrorProvider.SetIconAlignment (this, ErrorIconAlignment.MiddleRight);<br />
valueErrorProvider.SetIconPadding (this, 2);<br />
valueErrorProvider.BlinkRate = 1000;<br />
valueErrorProvider.BlinkStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ErrorBlinkStyle.AlwaysBlink;<br />
<br />
components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();<br />
tltpInternal = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip(components);<br />
tltpInternal.ShowAlways = false;<br />
tltpInternal.InitialDelay = 250;<br />
tltpInternal.AutoPopDelay = 5000;<br />
tltpInternal.Active = false;
To set/clear the message I use the following:
private void SetErrorMessage(string msg)<br />
{<br />
this.valueErrorProvider.SetError(this, msg);<br />
tltpInternal.SetToolTip(this, msg);<br />
tltpInternal.Active = (msg.Trim().Length > 0);<br />
tltpInternal.ShowAlways = (msg.Trim().Length > 0);<br />
}
The problem is that the ErrorProvider symbol does not always show. The Tooltip is always populated as expected, the symbol just doesn't flash. If I select a different application and then go back to the application with the error, it begins to flash as expected.
Is there something I need to call to ensure the ErrorProvider will display?

hai
i am doing a project in which i need to trap the active window title after any event like mouse click, minimize,alt+tab,etc. I tried to use the cbt hooks but could not install a global hook. i learnt that i need to give the final parameter of SetWindowsHookEx as 0. But even then i could not install it. please help me.Urgent.
Advance Thanks to u.

The WH_CBT hooks execute in the context of the application in which the even occured...so you need to write them as a _standard_ dll so the target process can load them into its address space.
Only WH_JOURNALRECORD, WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK, WH_KEYBAORD_LL and WH_MOUSE_LL global hooks execute in the context of the hook installer app so only they are safe form .NET afaik.

Hi,
I think this a simple question but I have two computers that I want to be synchronized so I have attached a GPS to them so I can get the universal time (UTC). Then I want to set the local system time to the same as the resently read UTC time. I have tried with the DateTime class but I can only find read only methods there.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks in a million

Try P/Invoking SetSystemTime as the following:
[Serializable, StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct SYSTEMTIME
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Year;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Month;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short DayOfWeek;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Day;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Hour;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Minute;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Second;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)] public short Milliseconds;
}
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern bool SetSystemTime(ref SYSTEMTIME time);

What Nick told you is correct, but note that this isn't really a good way to synchronize the machines. Yes, the time on each machine would be the same (within a certain margin, taking into account network lag), but that doesn't mean they're accurate. You should use an NTP server, which is a time client that eventually synchronizes with the atomic clock (or whatever they're using now for an accurate decay rate; I heard they changed it or where planning on changing it).
Windows XP has an NTP client built-in and set to time.windows.com, IIRC. If you're on a corporate network, most likely your network administrators have set up your DHCP server (if using a dynamic address space, which most corporate networks do) to broadcast time servers). You can also get free or cheap NTP clients on the 'net - just try searching for some on google[^].
This is by far a better approach. The longer the NTP client runs the more accurate the time is and both machine clocks will be in sync by the nature of NTP. NTP also takes into account time zones which is a necessary step in ensuring that time is accurate.

Again, like Colin said we need more info. This shouldn't be hard and both Heath and I have discussed this issue in the past in this forum. Take a look at the following[^] post (similar concept) as well as Heath's[^] response too. Hopefully this will get you started.

No, NT-based OS's will NOT allow you to this directly. You will the Windows DDK AFAIK, and write your own driver and start praying (alot)!

Hi, 
Can C# export a report (created using Crystal Reports 9) to multiple excel files automatically (in background)?
Because the report is to big for only one excel file, so i need to split it into more than 1 excel files.
Thank you for the help.
|
|
|
|
|
What I use to do for exporting is exporting HTML file but under XLS extension (Excel can understand HTML).
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachement; filename=\"SomeFile.xls\"");
That is the code that I entered in my Page_Load. Everything works fine after that

Hi,
I am having the following problem with a richtextbox. I have files that I read into it that often contain one line that may be 1 million characters or more.
When I read these long lines in, the line is displayed on multiple lines in the richtextbox. Each display line seems to break at around 3066 characters. (Reading these into an application like notepad, will give me what I am looking for which is a one line display).
All I'm really doing in the code is opening the file using a streamreader and reading it with ReadLine(). Looking at the richtextbox.Text property, all looks well until it displays.
I'd appreciated any tips you may have.
Thanks
Dave

Are you sure it's the number of characters? All control's are limited in height and width by int16.MaxValue (32767). If you try to draw anything beyond those borders, it will be clipped. Perhaps this is what you're seeing with the RTB?

Why would you want to load up one line of any TextBox with over a million characters? What purpose could that possibly serve?
Look into just adding the first, say couple hundred characters of the line into the RichTextBox. If you need to append all these things together and your using the RichTextBox to do this, don't. Use the RichTextBox for displaying information and then write your code for appending the data together.
