Im not going to give you a code solution. Here is how you do it (psuedo-code straight from my head, hopefully no mistakes):

Point originalFormLocation;
Point originalMouseDownLocation;
bool state;
onMouseDown()
{
  // save original screen coordinates of form
  // save original screen coordinates of mouse
  state = moving;
}

onMouseMove()
{
 if (state = moving)
 {
   // get current screen coordinated of mouse
   // calculate offset
   // apply offset to original form location
   // set form location
 }
}

onMouseUp()
{
  // reset state
}

Note: you're always working with screen coordinates.

Yes..Alex...This will work perfect. I had implemented the same in my previous project. Only little bit of correction is required...You do not need to save the form's location in MouseDown (If I remember correctly..).

As long as you can get it to work.

I believe saving the original coordinate at begining is necessary to get error free moving. If you're not moving relative to the point where you start but you're doing something relative to the last time the mouse was moved you can get some big glitches.

Actually Previous MouseDown Location's coordinate is relative the the previous Form location,

And If you see with reference to the screen , The mouse down location saving should solve the purpose....

I will try to post the code tomorrow...

I've searched all over and haven't been able to find much help with burning data CDs in C#. I saw one article that used IMAPI Wrapper, but it was originally written in VB and I haven't been able to get even their source code C# version to compile properly.

Any help?

Yes, but I haven't been able to get it working, something about the reference to the .dll is wrong. I'll edit this post with greater details later tonight when I get off work.

Nice article on MSDN[^]. The basic aproach is loop through controls and set focus. Here is an alternative way that I've used a long time ago: http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/plaudeman/archive/2004/04/12/11215.aspx[^]

An inherited control on a form that will be inherited

Jochen Jonckheere8-Dec-04 11:45

Hi,

I create a custom control derived from an textbox.

<br />
...<br />
public class JButton : System.Windows.Forms.Button {<br />
...<br />

Then I create a form, frmBase, and I put my new button on it.

After that I create a form, frmInherited, that inherits from my frmBase.

When I run it my custom control isn't visible. Confused | :confused:

But when I put a normal Button on frmBase and I recompile and run it again I can see the normal button. But never the custom button.

Can anyone help? I can provide the full code if needed.

thx

Jochen

Do you have a designer class for the button? Have you associated the designer with your button? If not: search a little to see how its done.

My code is a bit like this: Writing your Custom Control: step by step

And the button is visible when I use only frmBase. Compile and run frmInherited that inherits from frmBase. I can't see the button I placed on frmBase.

I will try the designer. But in my opinion a designer is only needed when I want to see the control in VS.NET.
My problem is that I can't see it when I compile and run.

Parsing Source in C#/NET?

McClamm8-Dec-04 8:21

8-Dec-04 8:21

Hello all,

I need to search through a pile of source code and pick out certain "help IDs" based on context and output them to a file, GUI, etc. Now, I can think of many many ways to do this, but what I want to know his, what is the BEST way to do this in your opinion?

I could make my program read through every line of every file and use String.substring; I could use Regex.Match on every line, I could use Regex.Match on entire files dumped into strings, etc. I would like to use a regex, but I'm basically not sure if it is more efficient to do it line-by-line or file-by-file?

I actually started looking at perl to do this but that meant figuring out how scope/namespaces work with recursion in yet another language so...

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

A while back I wrote an application that searched our webapp logs using .NET RegExs for any token the user specified. These logs were on an average day around 40 mbs and on heavier days, around 80-90 mbs spread across 10 servers. Before then, I had a Perl script that did the same thing. From an 'searching' perspective, both apps did their job well. However, from a design perspective, I liked the .NET one better cause I could compile the regex that the user used and use it (making a bit more efficient). In Perl, it compiles the RegEx everytime you run the script as compared to loading it from an assembly.

Just my two cents.

Depending on what you need, just a simple grep will solve. Some solutions may need a full blown C# parser. It's hard to say, without knowing what you mean by "context".

Global variable

I am abeginner in C# and I try to access a variable defined in the main class (frmMain) witch is declared like in the following code:

<br />
using System;<br />
using System.Drawing;<br />
using System.Collections;<br />
using System.ComponentModel;<br />
using System.Windows.Forms;<br />
using System.Data;<br />
<br />
namespace Test<br />
{<br />
	/// <summary><br />
	/// Zusammenfassung für Form1.<br />
	/// </summary><br />
<br />
	public class frmMain : System.Windows.Forms.Form<br />
	{<br />
	  <big>public string	testString;</big><br />
<br />
		public frmMain()<br />
		{<br />
			<br />
			//<br />
			InitializeComponent();<br />
<br />
		}<br />
<br />
		[STAThread]<br />
		static void Main() <br />
		{<br />
			Application.Run(new frmMain());<br />
		}<br />
<br />
		private void mnuMenu_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
		{<br />
			frmChild newMDIChild = new frmChild();<br />
			// Set the Parent Form of the Child window.<br />
			newMDIChild.MdiParent = this;<br />
			// Display the new form.<br />
			newMDIChild.Show();<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
}

Now i try to access the variable testString in the child window frmChild:

<br />
testString= "Why does this not work???";

Even frmMain.testString= "Why does this not work???";
and won't work.

Can somebody help a stupid beginner? I know it must be easy.

Thanks

1. You need to get at the parent of the child form
2. You need to cast to the correct type to get at the testString

so you could have the following code in your child form

<br />
((frmMain) this.MdiParent).testString = "";<br />

This code will only work for the example you gave.
