I thought, but I could be wrong, that VS .Net came with some version of Visio that would let you do this.

If you have the Architect version then you should find a copy of Visio on the installation media. It isn't installed by default. When installed there is an option to Reverse Engineer added to the Project menu.

There is an add-in project here on CodeProject that might be useful to you if you don't have a copy of VSNET Ent Arch and Visio for Ent Arch.

It's called PocketUML and from what I have seen, it does a pretty fair job:

http://www.codeproject.com/macro/pocketuml.asp[^]

I've downloaded it, but don't really use it much because I have the Ent Arch editions of both.

On a side note, does anyone know if Visio for Ent. Arch. supports full round-trip engineering? Or team collaboration?

Hi all,
Since I have seen some of the greatest C# code on this site; I'd sure appreciate your contribution to a presentation I will be delivering. I'm looking for radical cool C# tips & tricks to demo. You will be mentioned in my presentation, if you do not object. So any cool stuff with unsafe code; com interop; or even general .Net cool tricks are welcome.

You (already) have my eternal gratitude.

Looping Problem.

I have finally found a good use for looping in a small tool I am creating.

maxBits: is defined elsewhere in the code as a maximum integer that cannot be passed.
subs: is also defined elsewhere as an integer that needs to be passed by at least a value of 2.

---------------------------------------
A little more in depth:
IE- (2^x), where "x" is an integer value.
What this is really trying to find is the "x" power of 2's value, that is right after the value of "subs" but that power cannot be higher than "maxBits" and if it is, it is invalid and a message needs to be passed to the user.

Here is my code:
------------------------------------

// newSubs is the value of the "x" power of 2 right after the value of "subs" int newSubs = 0; int n = 0; for (int i = 0; i <= maxBits; i++) {
while (n < subs)
{
newSubs = 2^i;
n = tSubs;
}
}

------------------------------------

It just isn't working and I don’t know why. I have tried many different cominations of looping structures to get the effect I need. With the code given above, the program crashes when a value of 3 is assigned to "subs".

Can anyone help me with the looping structure? I am going insane just thinking about it Wink | ;)

Thanks for the help.

looks like my code didnt paste right the first time. hopefully it will work now...

// newSubs is the value of the "x" power of 2 right after the value of "subs"
int newSubs = 0;
int n = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= maxBits; i++)
{
while (n < subs)
{
newSubs = 2^i;
n = tSubs;
}
}

Well, in C# the '^' operator is the XOR operator. To accomplish what you need you can:

1. Use Math.Pow method
2. If you need 2^x you can always use 1 << x, which will operate only in integral types (byte, short, int and long) and is super fast.

RichTextBox Scrollbar

I have a richtextbox where things will be printed in it from other textbox's. But when the richtextbox is filled with text, instead of the scrollbar automatically scrolling down as new text is appended to the richtextbox, the scrollbar stays at the top and the new text can't be seen unless the person moves the scrollbar himself. Is there a property which allows me to change the location of the scrollbar so that the scrollbar automatically moves down as new text is appended to the richtextbox?

Thanks Sleepy | :zzz:

If I remember correctly I did something like this:

richtextbox.Select();
richtextbox.SelectionStart = richtextbox.TextLength - 1;
richtextbox.ScrollToCaret();

Or somehing along those lines, alternatively, you can use interop for more control.

Thanks, it works fine except for now when I hit enter in the richtextbox, it will make a new line. I can't input any other letter or anything, enter is the only thing that changes richtextbox... I'm sure I'll figure out how to stop it sooner or later, but do you know why it does this?

Some Bugs While Running C# Application On Win98

yccheok2-Dec-02 14:16

i have a c# program where i run perfectly no problem under win2000.
however, the problem occur when i try to run in win98 installed with
.NET Framework 1.0.3705.

(1)i try to hide the main form and display the system tray icon when
user click on minimize button. i put the following code in main form
constructor:
------------------------------------------------------------
this.Resize += new System.EventHandler(this.frmMain_Resize);
this.notifyIcon1.DoubleClick += new
System.EventHandler(this.notifyIcon1_Click);
------------------------------------------------------------

the function of frmMain_Resize look like:
-----------------------------------------
private void frmMain_Resize(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if( this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized )
this.Visible = false;
}
-----------------------------------------

the function of notifyIcon1_Click look like:
-----------------------------------------
private void notifyIcon1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.Show();
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
this.Activate();
}
-----------------------------------------

when i click minimize button of the main form, main form hide and the
system tray icon display. i double click the system tray icon and the
main form show up again. then when i click on minimize button again,
nothing happen.

i realize the frmMain_Resize wont be execute. this problem only happen
when i run this application in win98. win2000 work perfectly.

(2) please refer http://www.geocities.com/yccheok/net/prob.html for
screen shoot.
i try to display a modeless dialog with code
--------------------------------------------
if(frmViewLive.IsDisposed)
{
frmViewLive = new FrmViewLive(this);
this.AddOwnedForm(frmViewLive);
frmViewLive.Show();
frmViewLive.Activate();
}
else
{
this.AddOwnedForm(frmViewLive);
frmViewLive.Show();
frmViewLive.Activate();
}
--------------------------------------------
although i click on the close button of the frmViewLive, the task bar
still displayed its "Live Image" title. when only i click on the "Live
Image" task bar, only will the task bar disappear. this is strange coz
win2000 has no this kind of problem.

may i noe how can i solve this problem? thank you.

regards

1) The message you want to catch is not normally exposed by .Net. Clicking on the minimize button, or by using shortcut keys, etc., sends a WM_SYSCOMMAND message to the form's window, along with a command value of SC_MINIMIZE. There is a way to capture these messages, however, so you can really polish your app.

In your app's constructor, add:

this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.EnableNotifyMessage, true);

That will allow you to override the OnNotifyMessage() function, which catches all window messages. So add to your app's methods:

protected override void OnNotifyMessage(Message msg) {<br />
<br />
   if (msg.Msg == 0x0112  &&          //WM_SYSCOMMAND<br />
       (uint)msg.WParam == 0xF020) {  //SC_MINIMIZE<br />
<br />
      MessageBox.Show("Minimize activated");<br />
   }<br />
}

I'm fairly sure that no matter what platform you run on, the message box will fire on any minimise event. That includes minimising from the taskbar, or any other means. Of course, you'll want to replace the message box with your form-hiding code. No other event will falsely trigger minimising either.

Cheers

Honestly, I'm not sure, although I do know that there were some changes in message handling, that started with W2K. I was only thinking in terms of giving you a better solution to your problem, and had not looked into the cause of your difficulties.

A simple way to find out, would be to temporarily add logging to app (or add a textbox), and list every message received in your new handler. Then just compare the list of events triggered after clicking the minimise button in W98 and W2K. You could do the same thing with Spy++ too.

One of the frustrations I have with .Net, is that I can't see how things work like is possible with MFC/ATL/WTL. So the answers aren't always obvious.

The following doesn't seem to work:

set o = CreateObject("TestNamespace.Test")

After compiling Test.dll and running regasm Test.dll. I've also tried regasm /tlb Test.dll.

The error I'm getting is "ActiveX object can't create component TestNamespace.Test".

It does work if I place the dll in the gac. Shouldn't vbscript look for the dll in the current directory? What should I be doing to get this to work without using the gac?

Re: Com interop

Use the /codebase parameter to regasm (btw the /tlb option is actually /tlb:filename).

The /codebase option gives you functionality you are used to with regular COM server dlls in that you don't need to know where the server is located for it to work.

Ok that does seem to work. Appreciate it. But why doesn't it just look in the current directory? Kind of odd that it would need the codebase tag.

It *should* work with it in the build directory. But if I remember correctly when you run the program from within the VB6 IDE you aren't actually running your exe in the build directory. You are running something from within the VB6 program directory.

I don't have VB6 installed anymore so I can't verify this; but it jives with everything I remember.

Well I don't see why it doesn't just *always* look in the current directory for the dll even if you are running a vb6 exe (I did copy the dll to the vb6 build dir). Just doesn't make sense why you would need a static codebase.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
