I would like to know how to create a mp3 scratching program like dj's do with vinyl.
I'm using Visual C# 2005 with DirectX to write the program
I have an idea, like taking the buffer and flipping it back
and forth and changing the frequency speed according to the mouse.
Please help...
Thank You

Try look at the fmod [fmodex] library, i think it could be used in C# too.
Or use C++ to code stuff you want  FMod have a lot of DSP effects aso; you can write plugins for it....
VirtualVoid.NET

Weird... unless I'm not understanding something about Regions.
I build an array of Region objects (constructed from GraphicsPath objects). When I access any array element (to set the Region property of a control), it works fine the first time, but if I try to access that same element a second time, it gives me an Invalid Parameter exception. It's as if the array is read-once.
I work around this by saving an array of RegionData objects, and constructing Regions on-the-fly from elements of this array. Clutzy at best.
Does anyone have any insight on what is going on? (Or what I'm doing wrong?)
Thanks!

Have you tried debugging? Perhaps you should post some code.

Here's a simple project with a form having one button, and a UserControl.
Initially, control looks like a blue circle (as expected).
Click the button, sets currRegionIndex to 1, and the control is a blue square (as expected).
Click the button again sets currRegionIndex back to 0, and ArgumentException ("Parameter is not valid") results. Weird, huh?
-------------------------------------
// Form1.cs
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace RegionTest
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private Region[] region = new Region[2];
private int currRegionIndex = 1;
private MyControl myControl = new MyControl();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
GraphicsPath gp0 = new GraphicsPath();
gp0.AddEllipse(myControl.ClientRectangle);
region[0] = new Region(gp0);
GraphicsPath gp1 = new GraphicsPath();
gp1.AddRectangle(myControl.ClientRectangle);
region[1] = new Region(gp1);
myControl.Region = region[1];
Controls.Add(myControl);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
currRegionIndex = (currRegionIndex + 1) % 2;
myControl.Region = region[currRegionIndex];
myControl.Refresh();
}
}
}
-------------------------------------
// Mycontrol.cs
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace RegionTest
{
public partial class MyControl : UserControl
{
public MyControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
BackColor = Color.Blue;
}
}
}
------------------------------------------------------
Incidentally, I'm using VS2005
Thanks for your help,
Tom

A little smart debugging and a glance in Reflector exposes the problem.
If you place a breakpoint at this line:
myControl.Region = region[currRegionIndex];
and examine the region array, each Region object has a Non-Public member called "nativeRegion". This is an IntPtr handle to a Win32 Rgn object. The first time you use the region, that IntPtr value is not zero - that is, item != IntPtr.Zero. Once you assign the region to the control, that same value becomes 0.
Looking at the code for Control.Region in Reflector exposes why:
IntPtr zero = IntPtr.Zero;
try
{
if (value != null)
{
zero = this.GetHRgn(value);
}
if (this.IsActiveX)
{
zero = this.ActiveXMergeRegion(zero);
}
if (UnsafeNativeMethods.SetWindowRgn(new HandleRef(this, this.Handle), new HandleRef(this, zero), SafeNativeMethods.IsWindowVisible(new HandleRef(this, this.Handle))) != 0)
{
zero = IntPtr.Zero;
}
}
finally
{
if (zero != IntPtr.Zero)
{
SafeNativeMethods.DeleteObject(new HandleRef(null, zero));
}
}
You see what's going on. The region is being deleted once it is used successfully.
The solution, then, is to assign a copy of each region instead, using the Region.Clone method:
<code> public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
GraphicsPath gp0 = new GraphicsPath();
gp0.AddEllipse(myControl.ClientRectangle);
region[0] = new Region(gp0);
GraphicsPath gp1 = new GraphicsPath();
gp1.AddRectangle(myControl.ClientRectangle);
region[1] = new Region(gp1);
myControl.Region = region[1].Clone();
Controls.Add(myControl);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
currRegionIndex = (currRegionIndex + 1) % 2;
myControl.Region = region[currRegionIndex].Clone();
myControl.Refresh();
}</code>

Wow... thanks, Patrick.
Hmm, this is not the behaviour one would expect, but who
says life should be predictable  .
My workaround was:
-----------------------------
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace RegionTest
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
RegionData[] regionData = new RegionData[2];
int currRegionIndex = 0;
MyControl myControl = new MyControl();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
GraphicsPath gp0 = new GraphicsPath();
gp0.AddEllipse(myControl.ClientRectangle);
regionData[0] = (new Region(gp0)).GetRegionData();
GraphicsPath gp1 = new GraphicsPath();
gp1.AddRectangle(myControl.ClientRectangle);
regionData[1] = (new Region(gp1)).GetRegionData();
myControl.Region = new Region(region[0]);
Controls.Add(myControl);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
currRegionIndex = (currRegionIndex + 1) % 2;
myControl.Region = new Region(regionData[currRegionIndex]);
myControl.Refresh();
}
}
}
-----------------------------
which in the end is similar to yours in efficiency (I guess)
but yours is more elegant.

If you don't want a modal dialog, then call Show instead of ShowDialog. Or, have I missed what the problem is ?

sorry for the typing mistake,... i neead modal, but it's creating modeless... .

OK, perhaps you're right, you're on another thread, and that is the problem.

Hi, In my game that I'm making I have a 2D Array of Picture boxes. Using a function:
<br />
<br />
image_arr[0] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.empty;
image_arr[1] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.wall;<br />
image_arr[2] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.target;<br />
image_arr[3] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.rock;<br />
image_arr[4] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.target_w_rock;<br />
image_arr[5] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.bulldozer_down;<br />
image_arr[6] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.bulldozer_up;<br />
image_arr[7] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.bulldozer_left;<br />
image_arr[8] = Bulldozer_2._0.Properties.Resources.bulldozer_right;<br />
<br />
const Byte IMAGE_WIDTH = 32;<br />
const Byte IMAGE_HEIGHT = 32;<br />
<br />
PictureBox[,] PicBoxes = new PictureBox[MAX_ROWS, MAX_COLS];<br />
<br />
private void draw_image(Byte type, int row, int col)<br />
{<br />
PicBoxes[row, col] = new PictureBox();<br />
PicBoxes[row, col].Name = "pictureBox1";<br />
PicBoxes[row, col].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(IMAGE_WIDTH, IMAGE_HEIGHT);<br />
PicBoxes[row, col].Image = image_arr[type];<br />
PicBoxes[row, col].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(col * IMAGE_WIDTH, row * IMAGE_HEIGHT);<br />
}<br />
<br />
Got any ideas why the image isn't showing up? The Images are there and in the resources folder.

|
|
|
|
in draw_image add it to form controls
Form.Controls.Add()
|
|
|
|
|
I typed Form but there was no "Controls" sub program.
|
|
|
|
|
Form is the name of the class. You need the name of the form itself, which you did not provide. Actually, you need to replace Form with this, as you're inside the form.

I partly understood what you meant so I put "PicBoxes[row, col].Controls.Add();" but I don't know what to put for Parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
Controls is not a program but member collection.
As I have written before - formName.Collection.Add()
Collection is without ()
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not too familiar with object oriented programming. I'm used to C++ and PHP. I kinda figured out through trial and error but what do I put for the parameter for Add ()?
|
|
|
|
|
your function should looks like this:
private void draw_image(Byte type, int row, int col)
{
PicBoxes[row, col] = new PictureBox();
PicBoxes[row, col].Name = "pictureBox1";
PicBoxes[row, col].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(IMAGE_WIDTH, IMAGE_HEIGHT);
PicBoxes[row, col].Image = image_arr[type];
PicBoxes[row, col].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(col * IMAGE_WIDTH, row * IMAGE_HEIGHT);
this.Controls.Add( PicBoxes[ row, col ] );
}
the bold line is missing in your code.
|
|
|
|
|
It compiles okay but when I run it I get this error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
Additional information: A circular control reference has been made. A control cannot be owned by or parented to itself.
|
|
|
|
|
You cannot call data.Controls.Add(data), where "data" is any object.

|
|
Then what would I put there? The Form? That would make sense I'll try that.
[Edit Nope that didn't work]
|
|
|
|
|
What command are you currently using?
|
|
|
|
|
this.Controls.Add( (PictureBox)PicBoxes[ row, col ] );
if your table is not of type PictureBox.
read documentation to classes which you use. write PictureBox class in google and you will have everything you need

Sick. Thanks a bunch Ermak!!
