    - application.exe /Switch - how? Howdy, I'm a seasoned ASP.Net developer and I have a customer who needed a small windows app that consumed a web services and dumped it into their Access DB. I have the app done, and I must say it was easier than I thought, and now I'd like to put the app on a scheduler using Windows Scheduler. How do I setup my app to take a switch, like "application.exe /quiet /import true /log c:\log.txt".

    - Add-in Image question In this line (connect.vb, after creating an add-in through the built in VS.Net Add-in template), Look at the '59' : toolsMenuName = "Tools" CommandObj = _applicationObject.Commands.AddNamedCommand(objAddin, "My_Add-In", "My_Add-In", "Executes my stuff", True, 59, Nothing, 1 + 2) CommandObj.AddControl(toolsMenuName) That number adds the 'smiley face' icon for the Add-in entry in the Tools menu, when the Add-in is used. If you change that, to another number, another icon will appear. Where can I find a list of the different icons that can be used here (what numbers use what icon image)?

    - Domain Authentication Hi All, I'm struggling with this, I've googled it to death but can't find any solution. So at the moment I'm thinking that what I want to do is not possible. It's pretty basic, I want to authenticate a user logging into a windows application - against the domain. Seems like a simple enough request, but hell...can't get any info on how to go about doing this! I do not want to store user info in a database! Can anyone help? Thanks.

    - RTF content in contextmenu strip I have a requirement- need to display RTF content in context menu. I am able to host a rich textbox in a contextmenu strip using ToolStripControlHost class. But assigning some RTF content to the containing rich textbox control does not display in actual RTF format- it just dislpays as plain text. Here's the code am using: //Custom richtextbox to handle bg color in readonly mode public class MyRichTextBox : RichTextBox { public MyRichTextBox() { } public new bool ReadOnly { get { return base.ReadOnly; } set { if (value == true) { this.BackColor = Color.White; } base.ReadOnly = value; } } } ---------------------------------------------------------------- public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); m_cmenu.Items.Add(new ToolStripMenuItem("Edit")); m_cmenu.Items.Add(new ToolStripSeparator()); MyRichTextBox m_richTextBox = new MyRichTextBox(); m_richTextBox.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.None; m_richTextBox.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill; m_richTextBox.ReadOnly = true; m_richTextBox.ScrollBars = System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBoxScrollBars.None; ToolHost textItem = new ToolHost(m_richTextBox); //Assign sample RTF content. m_richTextBox.Rtf = @"{\rtf1\fbidis\ansi \ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Arial;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\ltrpar\sa200\sl276\slmult1\f0\fs28 This is\fs22 \i some\i0 \ul Rich\ulnone \b text\b0\par \pard\ltrpar\f1\fs17\par }"; m_cmenu.Items.Add(textItem); this.ContextMenuStrip = m_cmenu;//Assign contextmenu for Form } Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117103

    - Urgent help needed with ClickOnce Deployment I have been using ClickOnce deployment with my app for over a week now and everything was going fine. This weekend I changed my development machine from windows vista to windows 2003 server. Now when I go to publish my app, the checkbox "Sign the ClickOnce manifests" is checked. I don't want to sign it. I didn't have to before. In fact I just looked at my laptop which is running vista and I checked a copy of the code from a day ago and the check box isn't checked. It has only happened since I moved the code to Windows 2003 server. What can I do? Bill Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117102

    - Keyboard Hooking including Unicode I have been experimenting with sample code recommended by some folks on MSDN for globally hooking the Keyboard in C#. The sample is by Michael Kennedy and it's a System Hook class library. Anyway, his class does the job of allowing me to receive Key-Down and Key-Up events globally (as well as mouse stuff that I'm not really interested in right now). But it doesn't give me what I really need. What I'm really looking for is a C# class that will allow me to globally handle events where I am passed the Keyboard "Text Input" as opposed to the keyboard keys that are pressed. What I mean is that if the user had pressed a lower-case "d" or an uppoer-case "D", I'd like to receive it that way... but far more complicated than that, if they had pressed a key in a different language kayboard, I'd like to receive that character in unicode. In other words, I want to receive the TEXT character pressed or sent to the event queue as opposed to receiving the hardware KEY pressed. Any help - or especially code I could... "borrow"... would be *much* appreciated! Alex Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117098

    - In desperate need of ADD-in help! I've recreated my add-in multiple times - - and at some point along the way, I get an error in the connect.vb file at this line: Dim toolsControl As CommandBarControl = menuBarCommandBar.Controls.Item(toolsMenuName) The error is : Error 2 'Controls' is not a member of MyAddin.CommandBar'. C:\My Apps\MyAddin\MyAddin\Connect.vb 55 49 MyAddin It happens when I rebuild after adding something as innocent as a new resource/image or changing a line of code to one place or another (not in the connect.vb file itself). It could happen at any time. Usually, I can just recreate the project, step by step and add in my form and it works - but, I can't get it to go away at all. I've searched on Google but can't find anything Can anyone help with this problem? Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117091

    - ValidateChildren not envoking validation on controls with CausesValidation set to false From my lengthy and painful debugging experiment it seems that UserControl.ValidateChildren() will not envoke validation of child controls where their CausesValidation property is false. I have a rather complex hierarchy starting with a MS CAB SmartPart view placed on an Infragistics UltraTabPageControl tab, which contains a group box, a flow panel and finally some UltraComboEditors. When the ValidateChildren method is run on the view (which inherits from UserControl), it seems to validate only controls which themselves cause validation. I implement Validating() event handlers accross the whole hierarchy, set all CausesValidation to false except the bottom level of combos where I play with various combinations to see the validation being triggered. This dependency seems so odd, because 1 - wasn't ValidateChildren ment exactly a mechanism independent on (alternative to) auto validation controlled by CausesValidation property. 2 - CausesValidation is supposed to control behaviour of other controls, not itself. Am I right about my observation of this schizophrenic character of CausesValidation, is it something particular to the Infragistics controls library, or is something wrong in my test case? Any comments appreciated. Pavel Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117074

    - DataGridView, DataGridViewComboBoxColumn problems Hi, I've been looking at this for a while now and I have tried 4 or 5 different options and I can't quite get this to work. Requirements I have a DataGridView setup in virtual mode and I want a Combobox column in DropDownCombo style (i.e so you can type a new value in that doesn't exist in the dropdown). If the user types something into the editable portion that doesn't exist in the dropdown I need to perform a search that may find a matching item that I want added to the dropdown, this value should then be selected and pushed back to the datastore. Ideally I'd like to implement an iTunes style fuzzy matching algo as well (perhaps filter the contents of the dropdown but I'd like to get the simple option working first Problem I'm hitting issues with the validation, I've tried several points to hook into the chain of events but none seem early enough to prevent a DataError being thrown because the value I entered isn't in the dropdown Any thoughts on the best way to approach this problem? Thanks in advance for your thoughts David Hayes Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117073

    - Missing Images while printing in vb.net Hi Toall , I want to explain you clearly , I am having some panels having some controls CheckBox,ComboBox,Datagridview,Hyperlink,label,Listbox,Picturebox,RadioButt= =AD on ,Textbox) &(Oval,Line,Rectangle ). with .BorderStyle =3D BorderStyle.FixedSingle . All these things are generating at runtime using some buttons . I am taking them in to bitmaps and then printing using ACROBAT DISTILLER printer. I am printing each Bitmap on a new page taking e.MarginBounds of PrintPage event using e.Graphics.DrawImage () . I took each control on a single panel. Then i take the panel into bitmap using control.drawtobitmap() .And then I print the things . Suppose if the panel is having Circle or line or ComboBox or Checkbox or DataGridView or URL or ListBox or RadioButton ,it is showing the borders . Suppose if it is having picturebox or rectangle or Textbox missing the borders . or if the panel is not having controls then it is missing the borders while printing . It is showing the borders in printpreview everytime(I have to zoom to look at these things ) but while printing ,sometimes, it is printing with borders ,sometimes it is missing the borders. If it is the last page to print it is missing last 3-4 lines (Missing the image part at bottom ). Suppose, i am having 2 bitmaps having the samesize and controls ,then in 1st page it is printing with controls & borders exactly correct .But while coming to last page, it is missing bottom 3-4 lines which makes the printing incorrect . So any help about this to make the printing correct exactly. Thanks & Regards , Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117071

    - SendKeys.Send Problem Hello I'm using the SendKeys.Send method for an onscreen keyboard. This works perfect except one problem: If i configure windows to use an english keyboard the call SendKeys.Send("{^}") results in a "^". BUT when my computer is running with an german keyboard, the call SendKeys.Send("{^}") results in a "&". MSDN says: If your application is intended for international use with a variety of keyboards, the use of Send could yield unpredictable results and should be avoided. Okay that sounds bad, the strange thing is that every other keystroke (or text) is working fine, excepts the "^" character.

    - c# stop user changing tab on tab control stops events All, I am trying to stop users changing tab pages on a tab control if the tab page has not been validated. This I can do by adding a tab control selected index change event handler and a tab page validating event handler. http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/winforms/FAQ_c93c.aspx#q958q However, once validation has failed, no other events are thrown by controls on the same tab page until the tab page has lost and then regained focus. I have attached sample code for a simple form. Uncheck the test box, try to change to tab 2, and then try and click the Tab Button. It does not fire. But it does if you click Form button first. Can anyone suggest a solution to this. I have kept the sample code as simple as possible.

    - Winform to stay on top of a game window I participate in a MMORPG using OpenGL. In conjunction with this, I use a third-party application written in .NET 2.0 that collects data from the MMORPG to help in analyzing my progress etc. I help a bit with the development and maintenance of this window, and have volunteered to TRY to figure out a solution to the following problem. However I am kinda stuck. This 3rd party app includes a form that stays on top of the game to show various in-game data. This works fine under Windows XP, but when using Vista, this "in-game window" does not redraw. Except if the game is running in Windowed mode. When running the game in full-screen under Vista, the in-game window is not drawn. It IS on top, I can move the mouse over the area where the window is, and the cursor will change. If I click it, it will become active and visible. But once the game regains focus, the in- game window is once again "invisible". This must obviously have something to do with the way Vista handles OpenGL, but what can be done to keep the in-game window visible when running the game in full-screen? The form has the TopMost property set to true, and as mentioned it seems to BE on top, just "invisible". Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117033

    - Hooking into DataSet Auto Generated Code I have an application that I am trying to use auto generated code as much as possible. It makes writing the application so much easier. I have created a DataSet based on an SQL database connection. VS2008 generated the dataset class and code. I need to insert some logic in the UpdateAll method just before the workConnection.Commit() statement. I will be using the allAddedRows and allChangedRows item arrays. I know that if I make changes here they will be erased if the code is re-generated. Is there a method I can override or an event I can subscribe to that will let me do something with the database just after the additions and changes are made? I can start my own transaction if I need to, but I need access to the arrays of added, changed and deleted records. Again, I want to keep things as auto generated as possible.

    - Displaying high-res images in .NET? .NET 1.1/2.0 I have a need to display high-resolution scrollable images in a .NET application (Windows Forms). One well known solution is to create a Panel with AutoScroll set to "true" and then add a PictureBox or another Panel to it, that is used to display the image. The above approach works, however, to my surprise, .NET GDI+-based graphics are not really hi-res friendly. Consider the following codes examples: 1) Bitmap b = new Bitmap( 6000, 6000 ); panel2.BackgroundImage = b; // <-- Works OK 2) Bitmap b = new Bitmap( 14000, 10000 ); panel2.BackgroundImage = b; // <-- "Out of memory" error The full stack of the error is: System.OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory. at System.Drawing.TextureBrush..ctor(Image image, WrapMode wrapMode) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.PaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e, Rectangle rectangle) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs pevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.PaintWithErrorHandling(PaintEventArgs e, Int16 layer, Boolean disposeEventArgs) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmEraseBkgnd(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) Internally, the TextureBrush constructor makes a call to GdipCreateTexture() method in gdiplus.dll, and, apparently, there is some limit on the image size that the method can handle. Obviously, I am hitting some limit of GDI+ here, but still need to find a solution. I want to stay with .NET, if possible and avoid using any third-party ActiveX controls. What alternatives can I pursue? Will going with .NET 3.x and WPF help? TIA! Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 117007

    - Reading Data From The Browser I'm working on a stand-alone winform app and could add a really cool feature if I could just get the URL of the active tab in the active browser window. Note that the browser would have focus...my app just sits in the background and based on the current URL, it would change the context of information that would be displayed when the user returns focus to me. I haven't touched the IE API's in years, but know there has to be a way. I doubt very seriously that FireFox does, but if anyone has any ideas, it is more than appreciated.

    - Big Problem with Tabcontrol Hi, I have an Windows Forms application written in C# which has a tabcontrol in it. The tabcontrol has many pages in it. Each tabpage deals with a specific feature in the application. e.g. Download, Upload, Erase etc. If I add all the controls directly to the tabpages, then that basically means that I'd have to handle all the logic in the main form itself. However, this would mean that the entire code for the application would be in one class. Hence, I need to split up the tabpages into either separate Windows Forms OR User Controls(based on some info in earlier posts), and then load them at Main Form's Load event into the tabcontrol. I tried loading the forms into the tabpages by doing something like this... form.TopLevel = false; form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; form.Parent = tab; tab.Controls.Add(form); form.Show(); Now, the problem is that even though the form displays properly in the tab page, some part of the form seems to be missing. The right and bottom parts of the form are not showing, even though the form size and controls are capable of fitting into the tabpage bounds. Also, the controls are much larger than in the form, as if they have been zoomed up. I am having to severely reduce the size of the form to make it display properly, even then the control sizes are not as on the form. The exact same problem occurs even if I use a UserControl instead of a form to host the controls, and do the following... UserControl1 userControl = new UserControl1(); tabPageDownload.Controls.Clear(); tabPageDownload.Controls.Add(userControl); //this line seems to make it fit slightly better into the tabpage, but doesn't solve the problem userControl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; I have run out of ideas here. Any help would be highly welcome. Windows Forms Gurus, please show me the light! Thanks in advance, Bharat Tag: Best practices for GUI of what called in MFC custom controls Tag: 116995

    - SerialPort event not firing after ShowDialog - C# I have a C# application that uses the SerialPort class. The SerialPort is being used for an external input device (a Disto). It works perfectly except when a modal dialog pops up. When a modal window is up the serial port events don't fire. The odd thing is they aren't eaten, they appear to be on hold. When the modal window is closed the events suddenly fire. Since the serial port is being used for an input device I want the events to fire all the time. My understanding is the serial events happen on a secondary thread, and not the main thread. Why are the events being held? Anyone have a clue?

    - C# Application Dies for Only 1 User I have rather odd problem and I am not sure how to go about debugging it. I have an MDI application that I am deploying on the local intranet to about 20 users using ClickOnce deployment. I am just using the default setting in Visual Studio 2005 to deploy the app to an intranet web server. It is a full trust application. After I published the last update one of the users called and said the application would not start for him after the update installed, but was working the day before. No other users are having problems. Basically the problem is: The user starts the application it starts up fine. Then the user clicks on another application that is open causing my app to loose focus. When the user clicks back on my application it shuts down within one second. If the user starts my application and uses Alt+Tab to switch between the applications that are running on the machine the error does not occur. In fact if the user chooses to use Alt+Tab just once to switch between my app and another app the problem goes away even if they start using their mouse to start clicking between my app and another one.

Hello All,

I have MFC-based application featuring:
1) Flow of "Screens" where screens are implemented as a MFC's
CDialog-inherited classes loading PNG or BMP images.
2) Dialog's child controls also loads PNG or BMP images.

What is the best practice to handle the same functionality in .NET/C#?

Thanks,

It's multidiciplinary quesion.
However, it's more about .NET. The MFC is just referenced.

Let me re-formulate this quesion:

I'm looking for inductry way of:
1) Define flowchart of screens.
2) Translation of this chart(written most desirably) in form of
sciprt/xml/whatever to .NET implementation.
3) Each screen is supposed to have it's own graphics(bitmaps).
