Hi,
I am doing some owner drawn menus that are supposed to display when right clicking on a NotifyIcon in the Tray. This has lead me to discover these 2 issues...
1. You can't use the OwnerDraw property on menuitems that are added to the "ContextMenu" property of a NotifyIcon. When you do, the user defined "MeasureItem" and "DrawItem" events never fire so you end up with a blank menu. - I fixed this by switching to use the NotifyIconEx that I downloaded from this site, and all my menus work fine then.
2. When you call e.DrawBackground() in the DrawItem event of the menu it draws the correct highlight color, but it draws the background as "KnownColor.Window" instead of "KnownColor.Menu" when the item isn't selected.
Does anybody know anything about these 2 things? Anybody know any way to get this work correctly? Or are they already working correctly and I just didn't RTFM?
Cheers,
Chris.

Hi,
In what dll is stored the GET_X_LPARAM(GET_Y_LPARAM) macro from the win32 SDK?
It is declared in WindowsX.h, but in what dll it is located?
As for my custom caption form I need to get the non-client mouse coordinates and to override the wndproc and catch the WM_NCHITTEST message.
Thanks in advance!

Macros aren't "stored" in DLL's. Macros are simply code substitution constructs which allows you to substitute a block of code with a friendly name. In other words, when you compile a source file and a macro is encountered, it removes the macro name from the source location and places the macros code at that place and continues compilation. The macro itself, just like a comment, isn't located in the resultant binary file. You'll have to write your own version of it.

C++ macros are not located in DLLs, they are parsed at compile time.

Hi. I'm a C# newbie and I'm having a bit difficult time to understand using "this". For example:
public class DBBool
{
public DBBool(int value)
{
this.value = value;
}
.....
}
By using "this.value = .." to what do we assing the value and how will we use that value afterwards?

The this pointer is a reference to "yourself". Use it to access members (properties and methods) you inherited from other classes, and for a way to pass a ref of yourself to another object.

Both of them said it. It is the basic tenet of morality - loving and caring for others. But you are right - that exact wording was probably Confucius's.
It will be different depending on which translation of the Bible you use, but here is the NASB-U version, which puts it in plain, every-day English:
Luke 6:31 "Treat others the same way you would want them to treat you."
Something to think about from day to day, isn't it?

this refers to that particular instance of the class.
In the snippet above you have to use this.value in order to assign the value passed in as value to the variable called value in the class.
If you didn't specify this the compiler wouldn't know that you mean the variable named value in the class instead of the local variable called value.
Make a little more sense?

So this code translates as: "Assign the value from parameter to the 'value' variable of the DBBool class". Am I right?

Short and Sweet: "this" refers to the class in which you are typing the word "this" in. It just specifies that you are working with THIS class and not any other class the you refernse to, just the one were you are currently coding in....
public class OtherClass
{
string MyVar = "OtherVar";
public OtherClass()
{
}
}
public class MyClass
{
string MyVar = "YourVar";
public MyClass()
{
string OUTCOME = this.MyVar //is anything in MyClass, nowhere else
}
}
the OUTCOME would be "YourVar";

I'm pretty new to .NET and XML here, and now I want to write a program in C# to remove the heading line from input XML file. For example, my input XML file will look sth. like this:
- <rptindex>
<title>xxxxx
<description>yyyyyyyy.
<subject>
..............
Now, I want modify this file and remove the first line "", so the modified file will be:
- <rptindex>
<title>xxxxx
<description>yyyyyyyy.
<subject>
..............
Can anybody advise me how to do it? Thanks!

Read the file line by line, and throw away the first line.

If you're talking about the pre-processing line or a DOCTYPE, that would work. However, if you're talking about removing the root element, you should read-in the document as an XmlDocument, get the child node(s) of the DocumentElemnt, and write those out to a file.

This just returns the path to the "GenerateXmlTreeView.aspx" file on the server. It doesn't execute the code contained in that file or do anything but take the virtual filename and give you the physical path to it.
You will probably be better served if you ask this in the ASP.NET forum to find out how to get the output of that page into another page.

Does anyone have or know of a strategy for Data Authorization?
I have a requirement to limit a list of records returned from the database depending on user-defined filters. E.g. a grid with employees is limited by the supervisor who is logged on.
These filters can go to other tables etc.
I was thinking about passing my DataSet to a class and let that class filter it for me but i wasnt sure to put it in the BLL or in the DAL.
Thanks in advance for any help

It depends if you are ever going to use those records. If not, why bring them over the wire (assuming this goes over or could go over a wire) or consume memory. If it does not interact with, nor effect, the business logic and the user cannot modify the filter (only set when the user logs in or starts the program), I personally think it would seem best to handle it lower in the tiers such as DAL.

Hi all
I am about to choose a platform for a application i am willing to write. The problem is, that it will be deployed on rather not new machines (hopefully >win95, which .net framework doesnt support). Another problem is that i dont want to go to the client every time he doesnt properly install my application - here i mean .net framework errors when installing or other problems (eg. not meeting .net framework reqs : not installing IE 5.01 before, not installing win2k sp2, etc ...).
My app would be Windows Forms / Ado.NET / Ms Sql Srv Interop
And here is my question : would You recommend me choosing .NET framework as a base platform for my application, or to choose Borland with its VCL and Database components ?
please everyone - answer, write your own experiences, and so
thank You very much in advance
|

There is never a time I would choose Borland (too many bad memories there). Nevertheless, I do not see why you are so limited. Of course, it would depend on which language(s) you have under you belt, which language would best fit the situation and what you expect from the program. There are other options such as C++/MFC or VB with MSDE or MS Access files. You could also use FoxPro or MS Access.
You, as the programmer, are also able to take care of any installation issues since your install program should check for these conditions.
I did notice the "hopefully" on the limit of greater than Win 95. If there is any chance you will support Win 95 then .NET is out!
Of course, with .NET you will gain flexibility, expandability and scalability along with maintainability. Therefore, I guess it depends on what the “ability” your client wants
