Re: Embedded Database Luther Baker7-Jan-04 8:50 Luther Baker 7-Jan-04 8:50  Hi, As I mentioned in the original post, "I could resort to file based storage" ... If I could cap the total amout of data - or develop a scheme to incrementally load/search data that exceeded some memory limit. I'm just worried that such a solution will not scale well. Unless I'm reading the entire file into memory, I think this might be a bit slow and I would probably have to implement a searchable object hierarchy. While not the end of the world, thats just not where I want to focus my time right now. SELECT statements are just fine. I've looked at SQLlite (open source file/embedded dbase) and one day, I may implement a small, file dbase - but for now, runtime XML access/storage might not be feasible. I will try to encapsulate the data access anyway. It may make sense to use an XML solution for testing and prototype demonstrations. Thanks, -Luther Re: Embedded Database TuringTest17-Jan-04 21:03 TuringTest1 7-Jan-04 21:03  Hey, this is a great thread.

( Re: mms sending Heath Stewart6-Jan-04 19:28 Heath Stewart 6-Jan-04 19:28  Do you mean SMS, as in short messaging service (often called "texting" for mobile phones)? You'll need an SMS gateway. Google for "SMS" and you'll find some free and commercial gateways. Sending messages to it depends a little on the implementation (depending on what you need to do), otherwise it is a standard system and documentation would be included with the product (assuming you get even a half-way decent one).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

"MMS" is a way of sending images and such stuff from mobile phone to mobile phone. IIRC it is rather expensive (compared with the transmission of voice).

Ah, so perhaps Mobile-to-Mobile Service. Seems reasonable. If that's the case, though, the CompactFramework most likely wouldn't support this because it would've been too new. Of course, if it uses sockets, you could always encapsulate your own protocol.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

GSM operators have MMS Servers and these mms servers have interfaces to speak with the outside. Since messages are in KBytes it can not be handled with SMS. Instead it can be handled with HTTP or SMTP interfaces. There might be some special operator interfaces as well. So it depends on the interface of the MMS server. If it is SMTP , you have to handle it using SMTP codes. RichEdit wrapper? TuringTest16-Jan-04 16:07 TuringTest1 6-Jan-04 16:07  Recently Filomela posted a nice article "Enhanced rich edit control" http://www.codeproject.com/richedit/MyRtfFileHandling.asp[^]. Is there a dot net wrapper for this? I'd email Filomela but i can't find any other posts from Filomela except his rather nice article! Alternatively, does anyone know of a dot net control that comes with simple editing, some version of standard menus and formatting buttons built in?

Heath Stewart6-Jan-04 17:37 Heath Stewart 6-Jan-04 17:37  Just post a message at the bottom of the article. Messages are forwarded to the article's author(s). For read-made RTF controls, I'm sure there is existing ones, but this actually isn't hard to do yourself. The RichTextBox already has methods for most of the features you need (like Cut, Copy, and Paste), and things like font families, colors, and styles are hard to do either. To find existing ones, just search or browse this site, or try googling the rest of the 'net (which includes CodeProject articles in the search, of course).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

TuringTest16-Jan-04 18:45 TuringTest1 6-Jan-04 18:45  Heath, thanks, i guess you didn't understand my post. Upon googling the net i came across an edit control that seems to have some very nice properties. It was written by someone named Filomela and posted Sept 14 2003. It seems to be based on an MFC control (?) called RichEdit. I would contemplate writing such control myself, since all the elements are there, but it would take me some non trivial amount of time (2 weeks??) to understand stuff like bullets and indents, find the correct images for the buttons, and so on. And after i was all done my code might even have bugs in it. Furthermore, having already noticed that there are lots of variants of the MFC RichEdit control, which are quite similar to what i'm looking for, i thought this might actually be a common problem. so i thought perhaps the dotnet community might have also have produced either some native versions or a managed wrapper for RichEdit. But on googling with c# and managed, i didn't turn up anything besides the MFC type stuff. So i thought i'd post the question, and title it "RichEdit wrapper?", to see whether anyone has come across a dotnet version of something like Filomena's article, or if not, would anyone like to recommend their favorite component library with a good lightweight rtf editor?

It was this statement that prompted me to recommend that you post a message at the bottom of the article. I understood your query just fine. What I was saying is that the RichTextBox already supports the functionality he's using. He's exploiting such functionality in MFC (using C/C++) just like you can exploit the functionality of the RichTextBox in .NET. Upon searching - and to my amazement - there really isn't much on canned RTF control solutions complete with toolbars. I can send you some source I have that I wrote for our app. It doesn't have everything you're looking for, but most of it and there should be enough there for you to figure out how to add the rest. I'll send you the required source and you can look it over. It should compile fine, so just instantiate it and add it to a form. I'll send it to the email address I saw when I got notification that you replied. If you know that won't work, please send me a private email to this message (click the Email link at the bottom of this message).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

It's from experience and a great memory. Sometimes people that annoy me (those constant reposts or those that don't get the point after 100 messages) I give blind advice to that usually works (but not always), but I hold true to "give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for life". Know what I mean? Anyway, hope you like it. As I said, the RichTextBox already has all the functionality you need (well, maybe not some wild ideas you might see in Word or from third-party solutions from scratch). It's just a matter of exposing that functionality through a UI.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

This IS the much better way to do it. i do have a question about imagelists, before i be fishing for some within some well known apps, do you happen to know whether these are available in vs or msdn-- or more to the point, whether ms has a policy of encouraging standard images for buttons to get a standard user experience in stuff like rtf button design, or whether they view that as every app's value-add. in any case, yet once again thanks for the fishing tips!! ________________________________________ Gosh, it would be awful pleas'n, to reason out the reason, for things I can't explain.

(http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=706678&forumid=1649#xx706678xx[^]) You can also find common icons and image strips in shell32.dll, and in your Common7\Graphics subdirectory of your Visual Studio installation directory. If you use bitmaps, make sure you set the ImageList.TransparentColor before adding images, and that all the bitmaps (or the image strip) uses the same color mask (magenta is common).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

It's an image strip (a bitmap resource) and you can find most of them in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\browseui.dll. Open the library in Visual Studio and you'll see the resources. Expand the Bitmap category and search through the different bitmaps. It contains image strips of various resolutions and color depths. You can use ImageList.Images.AddStrip to treat them as separate images for use in ListView, ToolBar, custom classes, etc.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Perhaps the converse is that what's required to make it work in Win2K causes it to not work in WinXP, although I'd find that strange. He said he found the information at http://support.microsoft.com[^].

Already i have managed to get line, rectangle, ellipse, filled rectangles and filled ellipses placed on the screen. I can open and save my drawings. But need help, with drawing Polygon, open curves and closed curves. I need different pens and brushes, and implement some rubbing banding with the objects. If anyone can help. email2miles@yahoo.com or lay help on here Re: GDI + package help Heath Stewart6-Jan-04 17:27 Heath Stewart 6-Jan-04 17:27  There's a couple decent articles on this site about rubber bands. Just search for "rubber" or something (I wouldn't recommend doing a google search with that keyword, though! ) As far as pens and brushes, you can extend both Pen and Brush and create your own. There's also brushes with support for hatches in the System.Drawing.Drawing2D namespace. For polygons, use the GraphicsPath class. What I don't understand is that, while you're posting to the C# forum (hence using .NET), that you're not just using the System.Drawing namespace (like the Graphics class). I mean, maybe I'm interpretting your question wrong, but why not use what's already there? If you have to save these vectors to a file, you can always use serialization (though some ISerializationSurrogates might be necessary) or create your own document format to save vector instructions (like an Adobe Illustrator file, for example). You might also consider using SVG to save those instructions. It's a standard (or recommendation, don't remember its current state but I know it's still evolving pretty heavily). There is a couple good articles here on CP. Just search for, of course, "SVG".   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?
