I am working on a screen capture project that uses a global mouse hook. It works great.
currently when the user holds the right mouse button down for a time the cursor changes to a hand.
see below
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr LoadCursor(IntPtr hInstance, int lpCursorName);
private int IDC_HAND = 32649; /// IDC_HAND = 32649;///IDC_UPARROW=32516///IDC_CROSS=32515
private const uint OCR_NORMAL = 32512;
on event
private void setcursor()
{
IntPtr hcursor = LoadCursor(IntPtr.Zero, IDC_HAND);/// IDC_HAND/// IDC_UPARROW//IDC_CROSS
bool ret_val = SetSystemCursor(hcursor, OCR_NORMAL);
}
What I need is a LARGE CROSS
so I made these changes
DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr LoadCursor(IntPtr hInstance, int lpCursorName);
private int IDC_CROSS=32515; /// IDC_HAND = 32649;///IDC_UPARROW=32516///IDC_CROSS=32515
private const uint OCR_NORMAL = 32512;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RegistryKey loadcursor = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Control Panel\\Cursors", true);
loadcursor.SetValue("Crosshair","%SYSTEMROOT%\\Cursors\\lcross.cur");
loadcursor.Close();
}
on event
private void setcursor()
{
IntPtr hcursor = LoadCursor(IntPtr.Zero, IDC_CROSS);/// IDC_HAND/// IDC_UPARROW//IDC_CROSS
bool ret_val = SetSystemCursor(hcursor, OCR_NORMAL);
}
am changing the poiter of the crosshair cursor the crude way !
dont now how to make it apply the rgistry changes. so that you dont
have re boot to make changes apply.
I would do it in the private void setcursor(),
but there is no system "large crosshair cursor".
only lcross.cur in windows/cursors.
AM I MESSED UP OR WHAT?
Thanks,
Regards.
P.S.
here is a link to the published project
it works great. Just want to put a little polish on it.

I'm searching for a nice way to get notification from Web Service. Something like this, I call a method of WS and it register me in someway. Then when some other application calls another method then it should send me any kind of notification. I got exactly what I needed in How to Get Notifications from a .NET Web Service[^]but it can be go worse in some condition. I read about Duplex[^] but its WCF. So is there any cool way of doing this...?

Hi,
assuming a TextBox, the basic principle is to provide a handler for the TextChanged event; in there, the text is used in a search command (say a SELECT * FROM ... WHERE ... in SQL) and the results are shown in a DropDown, a ToolTip, or whatever you choose.
So basically there is one database query for each character you type into the TextBox.

Hi,
I'm trying to talk to a mini-filter driver using p-invoke, but cannot make this function return successfully:
C/C++ function:
HRESULT WINAPI FilterSendMessage(
IN HANDLE hPort,
IN LPVOID lpInBuffer OPTIONAL,
IN DWORD dwInBufferSize,
IN OUT LPVOID lpOutBuffer OPTIONAL,
IN DWORD dwOutBufferSize,
OUT LPDWORD lpBytesReturned
);
C# function:
[DllImport("FltLib", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Winapi, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern int FilterSendMessage(
[In] SafeFileHandle hPort,
[In] IntPtr lpInBuffer,
[In] int dwInBufferSize,
[In, Out] IntPtr lpOutBuffer,
[In] int dwOutBufferSize,
[Out] out int lpBytesReturned);
My problem is that whenever I call this function (in C# code) it returns 0x80070057 (Invalid parameter). The handle to the port is valid, and I have received a message from the filter just before this method is called.
I'm using it like this to send a message to the filter:
int bufferSize = Marshal.SizeOf(myBuffer);
IntPtr inBuffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(bufferSize);
int bytesReturned = 0;
Marshal.StructureToPtr(myBuffer, inBuffer, true);
int res = FltLib.FilterSendMessage(_hPort, inBuffer, bufferSize,
IntPtr.Zero, 0, out bytesReturned);
Any help appreciated, thanks...

Hi,
I am using some unmanaged Dlls and need equivalent types when calling the functions in these DLLs from managed C# code:
For e.g.: const char** = ref string, const char* = string, char** = out IntPtr.
Does anyone know the equivalents for these?
int* = ?
char**** = ?
char*** = ?
float* = ?
uint64* = ?
double* = ?
thanks

They are all inptr. Any pointer has the same space in memory, as it's a memory address. Then you need to marshall the intptr in your managed code to get the data it's pointing to. A char * is different, it's a string. So, a char ** is a pointer to a string. Hence, an IntPtr.

I tend to disagree somewhat. For value types a single indirection can easily be accomplished using the ref keyword; I do use IntPtr for reference types that either got fixed or GCHandle-pinned (with the exception for strings).
Here is a working example:
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern int GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(string rootPathName,
ref long lpFreeBytesAvailable, ref long lpTotalNumberOfBytes,
ref long lpTotalNumberOfFreeBytes);

One note to this - if you're passing a string into unmanaged code that's going to be written to, you should use a StringBuilder instead of a string.

I do. It even is my favorite way of returning a string: just pass a SB with sufficient capacity and have it filled.

Hi
I have created a web service, and I need to pass this data into a named pipe stream, which connects to an external device.
My web service is working well, and I have a method to retrieve data from the web service, which I can bound to a datagrid successfully. This tells me it is working correctly, and I can see my data.
However, where I am stuck is how to convert the data from the web service into either a string or bytes for the pipe to use and what is best way place the data on a named pipe in .Net?
Can anyone show me how to do this?
Thanks

Hi
I have an application which uploads files over FTP. I create a new thread and start uploading on that thread but GUI locks while this upload takes place. As far as I know because I am not uploading on main thread GUI should not lock and it should stay responsive.
What am I doing wrong? If you need the code please tell me.
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
it would be wrong to:
- have an event handler start the thread and wait for it to finish;
- have the thread touch any Control or windows-related Component, including Windows.Forms.Timer; this[^] explains it.
If neither apply, we will need to see some code.

Thank you for your answer. My thread is interacting with a progressbar. What would be the correct way to interact with the progressbar without locking the GUI?
