Thanks for the clarification. I guess the app would become backgrounded only when the activity's state is "stopped".

I thought a BGW that was initiated by the app's UI won't execute when the app is backgrounded, although a Service would continue to execute. Perhaps I'm mistaken?

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 23-Oct-20 18:43pm View

I think the OP wants code to run when the app is backgrounded, which I believe is different from BackgroundWorker (which runs code in a thread other than the main UI thread).

Wait until you've been programming for 35 years. You'll eventually learn that in this field you have to figure out things for yourself. Software engineering isn't an activity like painting fences or making toast (with no offense to fence painters and makers of toast). It's not something you pick up in short order by watching a video or reading a few articles on a website.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, my assumption is wrong. It seems (by your experiment) that the value returned from Bar() is cached by the CLR for the purpose of executing the multiple assignment. Thanks for pointing that out.

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 5-Jun-19 22:10pm View

My point was that in the case of the OP's question, it's cheaper to initialize the Text property of the 2 controls to string.Empty rather than getting the Text property of the first one in order to use as the value of the 2nd control. Unless I'm mistaken, the Text accessor calls SendMessage (hWnd, WM_GETTEXT) under the covers. It would be cheaper to instead use the constant string.Empty.

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 4-Jun-19 16:11pm View

Actually there is a difference in performance when it comes to non-primitive types. Chaining assignments is not recommended when the value accessor performs an expensive (or non-zero effort) operation. For this reason (in the case of what the OP asked), it's better to do:

TextBox2.Text = string.Empty;
TextBox3.Text = string.Empty;

rather than TextBox2.Text = TextBox3.Text = string.Empty;

OK, then go ahead and use a dialog.

My point is, the purpose of the dialog is to indicate the user's choice to the calling form. The calling form should use that information to do whatever it needs to do to its own UI. The dialog shouldn't alter the contents of the calling form.

Minhaj, what you're trying to do is pretty complex and unfortunately can't be explained in a single post. At the very least, you'd need to identify what part of the image represents hair and the hairline, and modify the pixels in that region. If you want to do anything more than change the hair color (e.g. change a hair style, make the hair longer, etc.) it would be a lot harder.

One app that amazes me is the one that simulates aging a face. The logic and techniques behind that blow my mind.

> But what if there were no spaces in my textbox

You have to first establish your program's requirements. I assumed you want to identify duplicate WORDS, where a WORD is text separated by one or more spaces. Searching for duplicate segments in an unbroken string is a (much) more complex problem.

So the question I have is, what kind of data is your program supposed to consume?

Please don't expect me (or any other CP volunteer) to do your work for you. And if you expect us to send you a custom solution via WhatsApp, you're smoking some really good s---.

Why are you using SetCursor()? The purpose of that method is to set the visual cursor and has nothing to do with determining the position of the cursor. Instead, override CWnd::OnMouseMove() to determine whether the mouse is within the bounds of your dialog. You will need to write additional logic to compute how long the mouse has remained stationary over the dialog in order to determine whether the dialog should be automatically closed.

> inherited forms.
Ouch, ouch, ouch. That will rely on your inherited form to have labels with the same name as the parent form. Inheriting UI functionality is fine but inheriting the raw UI is awful due to the restrictions it places on naming. If you want to inherit the form, have your inherited method be generic - i.e. let it accept a Label control as an argument (vs. assuming the child form has a label named "lblFoo").

The OP's code seems to imply there's a singleton dialog that is shown when an event occurs in another thread, hence the check for InvokeRequired. The dialog seems to auto-dismiss after a timeout. For this reason, I suggested making the form TopMost (after making it visible) when it needs to be shown.

Hi SA,

By "C# binding" I meant Xamarin offers C# bindings to the Android SDK and allows C# code (e.g. developer defined callbacks) to be invoked by Android callable wrappers. Is this not true?

Xamarin generates IL which is packaged in the .apk (in the case of Android) and runs on top off Mono. The process of converting IL to a form consumable by Dalvik (and the newer Android VM) is transparent. For all practical purposes, the .apk generated by Xamarin is no different than one generated when building a native app.

IMHO, the nice thing about Xamarin is that it allows me to leverage my C# skills and the .NET framework. Caveat: I still need to know the Android API (which is not hard to pick up) in order to build Android apps. The same applies for iOS.

Edit: Xamarin Forms controls translate to native controls.

1) Correct. PCLs are used to build shared business logic.

2) No, everything written in Xamarin is NOT cross platform! Xamarin.IOS is the C# binding to iOS. Xamarin.Android is the C# binding to Android. This allows you to access the standard iOS and Android APIs from C#.

Patrick, you may want to consider using Xamarin Indie edition with Xamarin Studio (instead of VStudio). That's the path I'm likely to follow once I restart working with Xamarin. Like you, I'm interested in Android dev only.

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 24-Jan-15 0:36am View

OG, why use Java when you have a more powerful and elegant language (C#) at your disposal? Use Xamarin Studio (instead of VS) with the Indie license. IMHO, that beats going through the hassle of using and configuring Android Studio or <gasp!> Eclipse and settling for an inferior language.

My point is, once an image file has been shown in a PictureBox, the file is locked until the PictureBox is garbage collected (e.g. when your app exits). If you use the suggestion in the link (the link works fine) your file will not be locked. This will allow it to be moved/deleted/renamed.

The Reports table will have columns:
- ReportId (identity)
- ReportingUserId (FK to User.UserId)
- TargetUserId (FK to User.UserId)
- ReportText (not null)
- TimeCreated

This will let you query the Reports table for reports by/for a specific user and/or reports issued within a certain time frame and/or reports containing specific text.

Your INSERT statement implies the columns in your table are NAME and PICTURE, but your SELECT statement refers to the column ID. Of them seems incorrect. Fix and retry.

Ravi Bhavnani 6-Jan-15 20:07pm View

I apologize. I was thinking ListView, not ListBox. Sorry.

SelectedItem.ToString() will work if the items in the list box are strings and the string is the format of the picture index (e.g. an integer). It should also work if the ListBox contains integers.

Please confirm this is the case and retry.

You're correct - thanks for clearing that up.

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 28-Oct-14 13:36pm View

You're right, Sergey - the code doesn't compile in its current state.

But IMHO, initializing a and b (to get the code to compile) would not really change the values of c and d, as they would "change" from zero to zero, since declaring an int initializes it to Int32.Default. The optimized version of the compileable code would (IMHO) be an empty statement.

Ravi Bhavnani 5-Sep-14 17:01pm View

What do you mean by that?

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 5-Sep-14 9:55am View

I don't recommend your approach. By creating a static TextBox, you're declaring a single instance for all instances of Form1, which is clearly incorrect. Instead, create a TextBox using the toolbox, and follow the instructions in my solution.

To pass a Form1 reference to Form2, do the following:

(1) Add a public Form1 property to Form2.
(2) When you create an instance of Form2 (from Form1), set the value of that property.
(3) Perform step 3 as mentioned in my solution.

If what I've said doesn't make sense, I recommend you read up on the basics of C# and Windows Forms. That will help you implement your requirements.

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 18-Aug-14 7:46am View

No, I assumed you would define sndplayer outside the scope of my answer.

The problem is, it's very unlikely that your timer will fire when it's EXACTLY 6:00:00.000 am. For this reason, you should play the sound the first time the time (to the nearest minute only) is 6:00, and then disable the timer.

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 25-Jul-14 19:26pm View

In that case, you'll need to inspect the JavaScript that's injecting the content (most likely by making an AJAX call) into the page and make that call from your webservice to get that data.

I recommend using Fiddler or Chrome's Developer Tools window (press F12 to show it, then press F5 to reload the page and watch the network traffic).

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 25-Jul-14 18:47pm View

Not crazy weird. :) It's possible that's being injected into the DOM by JavaScript.

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 25-Jul-14 18:30pm View

That content should definitely be present in your string, starting at the substring:

<div Style="height:250px; overflow:auto; scrollbar-face-color:blue" >

/ravi

Ravi Bhavnani 25-Jul-14 18:19pm View

Remember, you won't be able to download content that's injected into the DOM via JavaScript or by making AJAX requests after the page has loaded, by simply making a call to WebClient.DownloadString().
