I had exactly the same problem with OnPaint and classes derived from TextBoxes; it simply doesn't seem to run it.
Never did figure out why, MS don't seem to want you to inherit from TextBox or RichTextBox, so there's no documentation. I think the answer is to inherit from TextBoxBase but I'm not 100% sure. I ended up selecting the text I wanted to highlight because it was an internal project and that was enough; I do intend to fix it at some point though.

Well, at least I am glad that I'm not the only having a problem with this.

When I tried that I got this error:
System.Windows.Forms.TextBoxBase.TextBoxBase() is inaccessable due to its protection level
Thanks for the repsonse.

Showing a messagebox in such functions is much like debugging code while having the current window DC handle on air. Read : this does not work.
I suggest to put text in the output console instead.
Also, be sure to call the OnPaint base class implementation.

S.Rod, thanks again, seems like I am running into brickwall after brickwall today. I made changes like you suggested and it looks like the following now, however I am still not getting anything even printed in the output console, any ideas?
protected override void OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
SolidBrush b = new SolidBrush(this._borderlinecolor);
Pen p = new Pen(b, 2);
p.Color = this._borderlinecolor;
e.Graphics.DrawLine(p, 0, this.Height/2, this.Width, this.Height/2);
Console.WriteLine("I just painted....");
base.OnPaint(e);
}

I don't have .NET at work. Will look the details later tonight.
In the mean time, an obvious question : did you put a breakpoint in that ?

Yes, it seems as if it just doesn't work. I don't know, I think I am going to take a break for a few minutes and come back and look at it again. Thanks again.

This is something that someone else had seen, Stan Shannon I think. The problem is that windows handles all of the painting for textboxes so the OnPaint method is never called.
There is a VB.NET article on control SubClassing using the NativeWindow class, I think that would give you the OnPaint method again.
Let me know if that works,

i want to make my program's User Interface more attractive and have multilanguage support, how could i make it?I'm a newbie so i need your help...
|
|
|
|

Multilanguage support or Localization as they call it in .net is a concept you need to understand completely. Here[^] is a good starting point.
Also look for Localization samples in framework sdk (it would be under Samples\Resources\resourcesandlocalization )

Anyone tried using directx 9 and c#??
I downloaded the DX9 runtime and the DX SDK for c# but could get it to work
I found the DX assemblies on the harddrive but I couldn't find them in the
add reference list, also I couldn't add the manually by using browse.
|
|
|
|
|
yes it works for me I have the full sdk and VS.NET and there were no problems installing it and running all the C# examples and I could even write a short program
|
|
|
|
|
Hi!
I have about the same problem as you have. I have downloaded the whole sdk and I could run the samples but I can't compile anything?
|
|
|
|
|
Yep that's it, I could run the samples but wasn't able to compile any programs because the reference was missing.
Tried referencing the assemblies in the assembly folder, but that's not possible.
For some reason the assemblies don't appear in my VS add reference list
|
|
|
|
|
YES!!!!
Fixed it, I deinstalled the directX SDK and downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0 SDK Developer Runtime from the microsoft site.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FB6B635E-9F47-43D7-8E4E-11DE9356849F&displaylang=en
Than i installed the debug version and it worked like a charm

what would be the fastest thing to use if i would like to read bytes from a big chunk of data in c#
and i basicly only need to read from the buffer.
ive tried using byte* to pin down the first element of a bytearray but it actually wasnt any faster than reading from the byte array w/o pointers , so i guess i wouldnt get any speed gain if i do the same on a memchunk that i allocate with some allocmem api?

Hi , this might sound weird but is there any attributes one can set on a method to
remove out of bounds checks , .net security checks etc etc?
so the question is basicly , is there any attribs that can be applied to a method to make it execute faster (by removing various checks)
//Roger
|
|
|
|
|
No I don't think there is any attribute to remove Bounds Checking, if performance of utmost importance,I think you should be taking the C++ route and you can call C++ routines through P/Invoke.

While I beleive there's no way to disable portions of the Framework management (and I hope there aren't ways to do this), there are a number of code optimization tricks you can do that can have a dramatic increase in performance.
Check out .NET Show on code optimization here:

What .NET library function corresponds to "QueryPerformanceCounter" from the Win32 API?
|
|
|
|
|
There is a PerformanceCounter class in .net but I doubt there is an equivalent of QueryPerformanceCounter method in .net.
So you would have to take the P/Invoke technique, of calling the Win32 API directly.
Have a look at this[^] article
Hope this Helps

I want to edit the datagrid control to display data like the properties window does in the visual studio environment. I.e. I have performed a database query and have a DataTable with the following in it (2 columns of data)
LABEL VALUE
Push To Talk 100
Receive to Transmit 150
Transmit to Transmit 100
Carrier Detect 100
etc..
Basically a list of parameters with values that a user can change
I have created a datagrid and set its source to this datatable and it fills up correctly however I would like it so the first column LABEL is uneditable and its background colour is identifiable as an uneditable cell. I would also like it so there is no new empty row at the bottom of the datagrid because I dont want users adding new rows??
How can this be achieved. I have seen the DataGridTableStyles property and am guessing it is by utilising these collections and adding styles. I have fiddled but havent got anything to work. Has anyone done something like this before that could help ??
Thanks
