1)If you use .Net 2.0 there is an event called DataSet.Initialized, and a property called DataSet.IsInitialized. When the Dataset finishes initialization, the event fires, and the property is set to true.

how do i do that?

2) I don't think I caught up with you, but if I got you right, then you don't want to hide, nor disable the tabpages and the inner controls, yet you still don't want to allow changing the current page. You can handle TabControl.SelectedIndexChanged event, and check IsInitialized in it. If it wasn't true, revert the selected index to the page you desire.

1) you may write :dataset.tables[tablename].Rows.count!=0
2) tabpagechange event can handle this.

Sorry ...

yes, but how do i get the page(index or name) from wich the index/name was chaged? the tab control doesn't have a last selected page or last selected index property.
Another problem is the fact, i think, the tabcontrol selected index changed occurs after the tabpageenter event.

You mean you want to make your program an OCR engine? In what language? The easiest way is to use office interop if it has OCR in it. Otherwise you'd have to buy an OCR component.

Hi There....

I am looking to iterate through A form's Controls collection. However i am also interested in control which are the child of panels. Is there any built support in WinForms? Or is the solution just to write my own little recursive method?

Thanks in advance
Aj

Hi,

yes recursion is the way to go:

private void LoopThroughControls(Control c) {
   foreach (Control subControl in c) {
      //do something with c

      LoopThroughControls(c);
   }
}

Within your Form just call: LoopThroughControls(this);

hi,
i would like to know how i can communicate from e.g. windows shortcuts or context menu items in windows to my program ...
i think i will have a installer finally creating these and adding some registry values and they should e.g give me the location where e.g. the windows explorer is active atm ... ?
something like a context menu extension...
dont know where start searching ...
thanks a lot!
cheers phil

How to write array of strings on a binary file

I think you mean shell extensions.

These series of articles may be a good start. Click here[^].

that the code i wrote
FileStream w = new FileStream("d:\\HufmanCompression.txt",FileMode.Create);
BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(w);
for (i = 0; i < array.Length;i++ )
writer.Write(array[i]);
w.Close();

The output i need is to write a binary file with a very small size(it is a compression prog)

thanx for ur time

I don't seem to see a question in your message? What's your problem exactly? Your code is one way of doing it. What's wrong with it?

Ps.
Make sure to call writer.Flush() at the end of your code before slocing the stream.

Doesn't Close flush the stream?

Well, in his case Close() will flush the FileStream, but not the BinaryWriter. So I suggested that he'd call writer.Flush() to flush the BinaryWriter too.

Regards

Guffa28-Oct-06 4:29

But he's closing the writer. That flushes the writer, closes the writer, flushes the stream and closes the stream.

IIRC he called

w.Close();

and w is the FileStream. How does that close the BinaryWriter -named in his code writer-?

Get Table Fields Description

Yes, you are right in that. I didn't read the code thorougly enough, and was confused by the naming of the variables and what the code really should have been doing. He closes the stream when he should really close the writer instead.

The best way is of course to close the writer, not the stream:

writer.Close();

If you close the stream, you can solve the problem with the buffering in the writer by flushing the writer first, but it still leaves the writer in a confused and unusable state when the stream is closed.
