Ooh I think you have a owned form which isn't playing cricket! When the owner begins to close it tries to close the owned form but can't and then the owner's FormClosing event handler is supplied with a precancelled event args.
Rather than dispose of the utility form you should allow the form to close itself. In the example I assume that Hide should only occur when the user attempts to close the form manually.
protected override void OnFormClosing(FormClosingEventArgs e) {
if (e.CloseReason == CloseReason.UserClosing) {
Hide();
e.Cancel = true;
}
base.OnFormClosing(e);
}
Alan.

Thanks, Alan, that does take care of the problem. I never thought that the 'Owned Form relationship could be a factor !

Hi,
I am using below code to save image to database.
I would like to ask how can I modify to save PDF to the database?
using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
pictureDocument.Image.Save(memoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
byte[] employee_document = memoryStream.ToArray();
sql_command.Parameters.AddWithValue("param_document", employee_document).MySqlDbType = MySqlDbType.LongBlob;
}
Thanks,
Jassim

Convert your PDF to a byte stream and save that instead. You can use a file stream to do this.

Hi all,,
I was reading about sending a mouse motion to for example Notepad..
I tried to implement something to help me send a right click to Notepad so when the event fired it shows that there is a right click fired and the right click menu appears in the notepad..
I wrote this code but I'm not sure it's correct -no error but it doesn't work..
// to send the mouse Message
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern int SendMessage(int hWnd,uint Msg, int wParam,int lParam);
// mouse input
private const uint WM_RBUTTONDOWN = 0x0204;
private const uint WM_RBUTTONUP = 0x0205;
// event handler
private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int window = FindWindow(null, "Notepad");
SendMessage(window, WM_RBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0);
SendMessage(window, WM_RBUTTONUP, 0, 0);
}
it does not work for me,,
Do I need to add extra code or functions for that??
Thanks

fyi: according to the site, the Mouse Simulation facility was never implemented.

Well, I actually bothered to look at the code.
There is an interface (IMouseSimulator) and a class (MouseSimulator) that look suspiciously like they may have to do something with the mouse.
And executing the MouseMoveTo() method actually moved the mouse!
Maybe there is some functionality missing, but it's a pretty good start: including mouse clicks; double-clicks; left / right buttons; etc.

You're right. Folks will now expect me to prove the stuff actually works. Or create some documentation...

You picked the wrong forum for this. You should have asked in the design forum as your question has nothing to do with C#. When you do post a question in the correct location, please ensure you provide enough information to say exactly what problem you are facing and what steps you have taken so far.

For a variety of reasons I am running a Windows Forms app which creates several threads. In each of these threads I create another form that hosts an ActiveX control (3rd party which requires a window).
This runs kind of OK but I have some problems and hope you can help:
- When I try to create a Windows.Forms.Timer on the form I created in my thread, it never calls the callback. Any idea?
- I can use a System.Timers.Timer but then I have problems in the event handler to use Invoke to access methods of my second form
- If my ActiveX control sends an event from this secondary thread, is that event handled in the main application message pump?
- I have a seen a lot of articles on how I can raise an event from a thread where the event handler runs on the GUI thread. How about the other way round? Can I raise an event from the GUI thread that then executes in some other thread? I could not make that work.
Sorry about the many questions.
BTW, I cannot replace the ActiveX controls with something else and they have to run in separate threads to increase speed. I am basically doing 4 simultaneous OCR operations and I need to do it fast, hence the threads.

The OCR operations should not require a GUI.

That's not really a supported scenario. Each control is bound to the thread where its message-pump is executed. That may "seem" to work but can collapse without warning.
Divide the actual work over different threads and have the main-thread do the UI.

You are correct, OCR shouldn't BUT I am required to use a 3rd party ActiveX control to do the binarization and OCR. Since it's not just a library but an ActiveX control it must have a parent window

The dirty solution would be to have multiple invisible main-threads. Meaning, if you need to spawn a ActiveX-containing thread, you don't, but spawn an entire process instead. Do your work in the app, and you can use the Process-class to manage your new worker. Once the worker-executable finishes, scoop up the results.

Thanks for your help.
I considered that. If I end up having to do this, I'd probably even use MSMQ to shuffle my data between the GUI process and the "worker process". I think spawning a new process every time I need it is too slow, it takes a while for these dang 3rd party ActiveX controls to initialize themselves.

Then keep it in memory permanently. Or divide it over multiple physical PC's.

I spent the last two days dong this: I use a separate process and communicate with it using MSMQ. Works like a charm

Yeah, there's your entire problem. Because the forms (which are themselves controls) are not reliably connected to the message pump, your forms are not going to work reliably. There is no way to fix it other than to move all the UI stuff back to the UI (startup) thread.
Get an OCR library that doesn't depend on an ActiveX control to work.

for an upcoming WPF application I am asked to give my opinion on the architecture....
right now pondering the client server part...
1 server might 1000+ tablet connected to it. and it might need to push some information to it (.e. 2 way communication).
my first though was WPF talk to Server with WCF.
then as I see the server need to talk back... and never used Duplex comm but wonder about 1000+ client I thought, hey, how about a WCF server on the client that the server could connect to!?
then I though, damn, it's on the internet!! some evil people will talk to our machines!
some maybe I should use secure communication...
but what if people try to impersonate the machines and do dictionary password attack? mm...
maybe I should use HTTPS+WebAPI+SignalR and restrict the IP that can talk to each other...
Is the IP reliable? (or can it be spoofed?)
Anyhow, any idea?
