I note you use the word 'Control to describe what you are working with, but using Process.Start runs an Application that then puts up a window(s).

1. what is the Application you start using Process.Start ?

2. what are you doing to make that Application's Window(s) a child Control of the Panel (added to the Panel's ControlCollection) ? or, is it (more likely), that the application window is not a child of the Panel ?

3. is it possible that whatever application you start's window has a fixed window size maximum ?

4. if you make the Panel size smaller: what happens to the hosted whatever ?

More specific details, please.

1 - I am hosting media player classic. I start this application using Process.Start.
2 - Don't know what to say.
3 - NO
4 - nothing

This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

I'd be interested in the answer to 2. Dark magic, perhaps.

Hi Rob, My understanding is that some applications are designed to be "embeddable" ... like Mozilla, IE. In this case we don't know what app the OP wants to launch, or even if he needs it to be "embedded."

cheers, Bill

Interesting. I'll have a look at that later on.

My thinking is its a protected operating system so the idea of borrowing a windows handle from one process and incorporating into the hierarchy in another would be strictly unavailable.

But, as one other comment points out, what about OLE?. More thought/research required.

[Edit] - even if possible somehow, it sounds like a dreadful idea.

Rob Philpott.

But the problem is, it stops resizing after I drag its border just a little bit. It does, though, resize for that little bit drag of form border.

That is a bit confusing, does it resize or does it not? Is this window a child of your panel (i.e. how are you hosting it) or are you just positioning it above your panel?

Please read my updated question. As I said there, breakpoint gets hit which means that I can not go on and continue resizing my form.

That is as to be expected, but does not add to the information you have been asked to provide.

First, that other process is not a "control". It's a foreign process "window". You cannot use the two terms interchangeably as this will confuse people.

Second, I already told you what you're doing is very difficult to control and you will not have complete control over the foreign process window. Users CAN and WILL manipulate that window just like it was sitting on the Desktop outside of your application. For example, they WILL be able to grab the window title bar and window edges and move them around. They can even minimize and maximize the window without your application knowing anything about it!

What you're doing is possible to do, but not in a production application. It's more of a novelty than anything else.

hi,

i'm implementing one program in C#.net Console application for converting pcl files into pdf format using GhostScript open source dll.

could you please tell me how to implement the above task using mentioned dll, if anyone knows?

if possible, please send the source code which is properly working.

thank you,
sai k

GhostScript cannot read/convert pcl files: you need to use PCL (note that even GhostScript's site sometimes using PDL); it's part of the GhostScript "family"), see: [^].

Hi,

I had the following code to Post my data to WebApi.

[code]
public EFileInfo UploadFile(string WebApiBaseAddress, string WebApiServiceUrl, WebApiParameters webParams)
{
EFileInfo eFile = null;

RestClient client = new RestClient(WebApiBaseAddress);
RestRequest request = new RestRequest(WebApiServiceUrl, Method.POST);
request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;
request.AddBody(webParams);

IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

eFile = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<efileinfo>(response.Content);

return eFile;
}
[/code]

And the following is my code to accept the parameter and post the data:

[code]
public EFileInfo PosteFile(WebApiParameters wParams) {
EFileInfo eFileResult = null;
var httpRequest = HttpContext.Current.Request;

try {
eFileResult = resp.Upload_File(AppRootPath, Convert.ToInt32(wParams.Parameters["year"]),
Convert.ToInt32(wParams.Parameters["month"]), wParams.Parameters["location"],
wParams.Parameters["brand"], wParams.Parameters["department"], wParams.Parameters["type"],
wParams.Parameters["generateFrom"], Convert.ToInt32(wParams.Parameters["expiryDuration"]),
wParams.UploadFiles.First());
} catch (InvalidOperationException ex) {
throw new NotImplementedException(ex.Message, new Exception(ex.InnerException.ToString()));
// throw new NotImplementedException(ex.Message, new Exception(ex.InnerException.ToString()));
}
return eFileResult;
[/code]

I am not sure why the parameter always unable to pass it to PosteFile. The process sometimes run smoothly but sometimes it pass NULL value to PosteFile function. I checked the parameters, everything is ok.

Not much information there. But why do you think there is a problem? Easiest solution of course is if wParams is null then check at the beginning of method and exit the method without doing anything.

hellow to every body

First, nobody is going to write your code for you. The code you get is the code YOU write.

Second, you haven't said anything at all about what you what out of that table.

can we programmatically detect when user touch the panel left or right edge ? suppose i have one panel with 200X200 size now i want to update a label text when user place his mouse at the left or right most portion on the panel. anyone can help me to achieve it programmatically. thanks

tbhattacharjee

There's a mousemove event, and there's a mouseenter event on each control.

Bastard Programmer from Hell Suspicious | :suss:

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

I assume this is a Windows Forms project with: on the same Form:

1. a Panel named 'panel1 200x200 in size

2. a Label named 'label1

3. you define the Panel's 'MouseMove EventHandler:

C#

private void panel1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.X < 5 || e.X > 195)
    {
        label1.Text = e.Location.ToString();
    }
    else
    {
        label1.Text = "";
    }
}

The label will be updated with the current mouse position in 'panel1 co-ordinates every time it is moved within 5 points of the right and left side.

Consider another simple solution:

1. a Panel, 'panel1 200x200

2. a Panel, 'panel2 190x200

3. a Label, 'label1

by placing 'panel2 inside 'panel1 (adding 'panel2 to panel1's ControlCollection), and writing this MouseMove EventHandler for 'panel1:

C#

private void panel1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    label1.Text = e.Location.ToString();
}

The mouse-move will be detected only when the mouse is over the area not covered by 'panel2: which would be an area of the two horizontal sides of 'panel1 5 points in width.

« I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief » Immanuel Kant

here is your code.

C#

private void panel1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.X < 5 || e.X > 195)
    {
        label1.Text = e.Location.ToString();
    }
    else
    {
        label1.Text = "";
    }
}

here you hard code 5 & 195. in my case value can be different. so how do i know what i should use to test this. let me know. thanks

tbhattacharjee

You should be able to easily figure out how to make those hard-coded numbers in my example calculated in your code by looking at the width of the Panel, and the value of your own variable that holds the width of the two areas you wish to be "mouse-sensitive."

I'm here to help you learn how to learn, any time Smile | :)

cheers, Bill

i have one panel and i put a flow layout panel in the main panel and flow layout panel has many images. my UI looks like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/14eJG.png[^]

now i got a code which scroll the container in the panel. i mean the flow layout will scroll in main panel when i will place my mouse at the left or right most area on the main panel. their code is working i checked but when i place their code in my project then that is not working, i means scrolling is not working when i place my mouse at the left or right most area on the main panel.

here i am attaching main code which causes to scroll the flow layout panel inside in main panel

protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
get
{
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.ExStyle |= 0x02000000; // Turn on WS_EX_COMPOSITED
return cp;
}
}
int _myval = 5;
protected override void OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
{
base.OnMouseMove(e);

if (e.Y < metroPanel1.Top || e.Y > metroPanel1.Top + metroPanel1.Height) return;

if (e.X <= metroPanel1.Left && e.X >= metroPanel1.Left - 40)
{
if (metroPanel1.HorizontalScroll.Value <= _myval)
{
metroPanel1.HorizontalScroll.Value = _myval;
}
else
{
metroPanel1.HorizontalScroll.Value -= _myval;
}
}

if (e.X <= (metroPanel1.Left + metroPanel1.Width + 40) && e.X >= (metroPanel1.Left + metroPanel1.Width))
{
metroPanel1.HorizontalScroll.Value += _myval;
}
}

i just do not understand this value 40 used here if (e.X <= metroPanel1.Left && e.X >= metroPanel1.Left - 40)

i guess i need to use different value rather than 40 but i used 10 & 20 but did not work. here is my full project link from where anyone can download and see what is wrong in my routine which prevent the scrolling. here is the link https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=C4A6F16F34D7540A&resid=C4A6F16F34D7540A%21134&authkey=AM5Fq2gcFLtcw_A

so it is my request that please some one see my code and guide me what i need to change in code and why. thanks

The problem with Windows ContainerControls and trying to create your own alternative for "seamless" AutoScrolling is that setting 'AutoScroll to 'true means Scrollbars will be shown.

But, the bigger problem is that Win Forms is not designed for smooth animation ... at least not from programming regular C# with no API calls ... If you have a FlowLayoutPanel with lots of fancy Controls in it, moving it yourself within its ContainerControl will probably lead to a "herky-jerky" kind of effect. And, what the user sees is probably going to be influenced by the power of their CPU, GPU, etc.

To do animation of Controls, Windows, etc., why not consider WPF rather than WinForms: it's designed to support such advanced graphic features.

Please, as Dave suggested, format your code example.

Try and state your goal here very clearly: is it to make a FlowLayoutTable Control inside a Panel automatically move right or left ... an animation ... when the mouse is within certain areas ?

The solution I would use would not involve using 'AutoScroll at all: I'd use a 'Timer, and two Panels outside the Panel that contains the FlowLayoutTable.

Be happy to help you discover how to achieve this, but I want to see more work on your part, first, and I strongly suggest you think about whether a lot of work here might lead to a disappointing visual result.
