    - Using Microsoft Chart Control in dotnet I am trying to use the Microsoft Chart Control COM component in dotnet 2.0 but keep getting "class not registered" exceptions when I try to run the code. I have done the following so far to try and get around this issue: - registered mschart20.ocx using "regsvr32 mschrt20.ocx" - registered AxInterop.MSChart20Lib.dll using regasm - registered Interop.MSChart20Lib.dll using regasm - reinstalled Office Web Components 2003 Unfortunately, none of these has made any difference. More or less, I am doing the following with my code: - create new project - add Microsoft Chart Control 6 reference (listed in COM object list) - drag a Microsoft Chart Control 6.0 (SP4)(OLEDB) to my form - Try to run the code - class not registered exception is thrown every time Does anyone have any ideas? Using DotNet 2.0 with VS 2005 on Windows XP 64-bit currently. Bob Dankert Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102928

    - How to make asynchronous call ? Hi all, First, I use C# with the .NET Framework 2.0. I would like in the method OnButtonClick, call the method A.DoSomething but in a way that executes after OnButtonClick has finished its execution. I am looking for something like a PostMessage in Win32 in fact. How can I do that in C# ? Class A { // may be inheriting from Form too void DoSomething() { } } Class B : Form { void OnButtonClick() // for example { // call A.DoSomething but do not execute yet return; // now it is the time that DoSomething must execute } } Thank, Laurent Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102927

    - .Net: File copy control Hi, I'm looking for a Windows Forms Control to copy files and direcotries between two directories. |-----| |-----| | | <- | | | | | | | | -> | | |-----| |-----| What I've found up to now: System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog System.Windows.Forms.ForlderBrowserDialog As the names state these are dialogs and not simple controls, and thus cannot be arranged like the schema shown above. Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.DirListBox Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.DriveListBox Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.FileListBox Is it a good idea to use VisualBasic controls in a C# application? These controls don't look really nice and they don't really satisfy the schema shown above (z.B. FileListBox only shows files, no directories.). http://www.windowsforms.net/ControlGallery/default.aspx?Category=6&tabindex=5 http://www.codeproject.com/ These sites have some interessting controls. Can someone recomment one of these controls? Or dissuade from one? The controls should be usable in a professional commercial application (license, stability, internationalization, use system icons,...). Other recommendations? Thanks. -Puce Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102926

    - Why does a WinForm stay in memory if the local reference var goes out of scope? Why does a WinForm stay in memory if the local reference var goes out of scope? Hello all, After programming in C# and VB.NET for 4 years, it finally dawned upon me that something Very Fishy is going on when you create a second form. Why does it stay in memory when the form-variable goes out of scope? In FormMain I have a cmdOpenFormTest with this event handler: cmdOpenFormTest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { FormTest frm = new FormTest(); frm.Show(); //for this test we do NOT do frm.Close() or frm.Dispose() //you may leave next line out, doesn't make a difference frm = null; } FormTest is a form with nothing on it, not even a button. I could even have done, with the same effect: Form frm = new Form(); A second button on FormMain allows me to do GC.Collect(); GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(); GC.Collect(); Now the questions: * why does FormTest stay visible when its variable has gone out of scope a long time ago? Even after GC.Collect()? * Why doesn't the garbage collector kick in? * Why doesn't base.Finalize() run, that is, the base-base-base class's destructor? * Why don't we see .Dispose(false) running? ---------- There is a lot of interesting talk in the newsgroups about what's going on after frm.Close() and frm.Dispose(). frm.Close does a this.SendMessage(WM_CLOSE), just like in a Charles Petzold C Windows program. This comes back to the form in the WMClose() handler. Here, if I'm not mistaken (can look it up in Reflector), after some work .Dispose() is called, leading to Dispose(true), leading to the cleanup of all the unmanaged resources, underlying windows & window handles, and the like. There is also interesting talk about mem leakes related to a static hashtable with MenuItem's and references that don't go away. But in my case I do NOT call Close() or Dispose(). Who is keeping a root reference to FormTest? In the old days, using Access 95 and 97, the behaviour was as expected: if you created a second form with a local form-variable, the newly created form would immediately disappear after the local var went out of scope. I tried to figure things out with the CLR Memory Profiler from the msdn website, but I saw a lot of colourful lines and no clear call stack. Any ideas?!?!?!?!?

    - SHDocVw in Separate Process I am using the SHDocVw.InternetExplorerClass in a windows console application. I assign this as my Webbrowser1 and call methods and properties from this (like Webbrowser1.Visible) and it works fine for what we need so far. However, when we start another instance of the application on the same machine, the 2nd Internet Explorer instance runs in the same process in task manager although the application grabs it's own PID with each instance. We are using Windows XP Pro (SP2). Is there a way to use the SHDocVw.InternetExplorerClass and run IE in it's own separate process with each instance of the application? Help appreciated.

    - Window freezes unexpectedly I'm experiencing unexpected intermittant freezing of my windows form application. Unfortunately, no amount of logging within the application can help me divine why.

    - Question about MDI child form... I have an MDI main form that shows a child. WHen the child is shown it maximizes to fit in the space available in the main form. FOr some reason when I set the window property of my child to maximize when the app runs it shows the controlbox buttons (minimize,maximize). I have disabled all the properties that would allow this to happen yet it still occurs. If i set it to run as a normal window it does what it is suppose to but that is not what I want, I want it to be maximized, is there any explanation for this?

    - ProcessCmdKey up to parent form Hello, I have an MDI application which manages smaller tool windows (implemented as separate, modeless Forms), sort of like Adobe Photoshop. The menu items in the main app form can be activated using shortcuts. When I do something in one of the tool windows, keyboard focus changes to the tool window. Is there a way I can have the shortcuts for the menu items in the main app work when keyboard focus is in the tool window? I was hoping there would be a solution like overriding ProcessCmdKey, and calling the tool window's ParentForm.ProcessCmdKey(), but obviously I can't. Is there another way to have shortcuts processed by a different form than the one which has keyboard focus? Thanks, Jon Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102889

    - Limit to range of colors displayed by Label control? Hi, I was just curious to know if there was a limit to the range of colors a label control can display. For instance if I set a label control's ForeColor to 28, 23, 15 it renders black (on my system, at least - but I'm running an nVIDIA GeForce 440 MX 64MB card running in 32-bit color, which should be plenty able to render that properly). Anyway, it occurred to me that perhaps the label had a restricted color range, and if this is the case, which other controls might this restriction apply to? thanks! evan k. stone | software engineer ---------------------------------------- santa rosa, ca, usa Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102886

    - Question about DataRows/DataGrids Hey all, I have a question about using DataRows (and ultimately, its interplay with a DataGrid) So I create my DataSet, create a DataTable, configure it with columns and then add rows like so: (C++ .NET) DataTable* table; //assume setup DataRow* row = table->NewRow(); //columns 0,1, and 2 are all setup in the table row->set_Item(0,fi[i]->get_Name()); //assume fi[i]->GetName() returns some string* row->set_Item(1,S"Queued"); row->set_Item(2, S"---"); table->get_Rows()->Add(row); After I have added the row to the table, can I still use the DataRow object to change data in the row, or is this a no-no ? Do I need to wrap the changes with calls to DataRow::BeginEdit and DataRow::EndEdit? After I have added the DataTable to the DataSet and, set a DataGrid to refer to the DataSet and display the DataTable I setup, can I still change stuff then? If I do, what is the proper way to update things? Should I call DataGrid::Update()? I'm dealing with some nasty problems where I get the "No original data" error from my datagrid while I'm updating literally all the rows in the table by just directly referring to the DataRow object I got from DataTable::NewRow() in the beginning. tia, rj ryan Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102885

    - Windows Service and Threading What is the proper way to terminate a Thread in a Windows Service? I have a windows service which starts up three threads which run in a while loop as long as a boolean flag is set to true. These threads each sleep for X ammount of time then start processing again. Since this is a service it's basically running in an infinite loop. When the user goes to stop the service, I have been calling the Thread.Abort() method, which throws a ThreadAbortedException. I've also tried using the Thread.Interupt() method to wake any sleeping threads, but that too throws a ThreadInteruptedException. What is the proper way to kill these threads in the 30 second timeframe that the windows service framework gives a service to respond back? If catching these Exceptions are the correct way to stop the service, what is the correct way to know if the service actually dies on it's own for some reaon (i.e. god forbid locking)?

    - TLB using problem I created very simple Class Library in VB 2005 (let's call it COMInterop). I set Register For COM Interop property to true to make it accessible by VB6 program. After I compiled it, I got COMInterop.dll and COMInterop.tlb files, I have no problem with using both of them on the machine where the project was compiled - TLB with VB6 clients and DLL with VB 2005 clients. I copied the tlb and dll files onto another machine and registered TLB file with regtlib.exe. I've got a message about successful registration. I created a new VB 2005 Windows Form project, added the reference to COMInterop.dll and it works fine. I created VB6 project, added a reference to this TLB. I'm trying to use it with the simple code which works with VB 2005, but produces an error in VB6: Run time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object The code in client: Private obj As COMInteropTest.COMInterop Private Sub Command1_Click() Set obj = New COMInteropTest.COMInterop 'The error occurs on this line MsgBox obj.myFunction End Sub What am I missing?

    - Interacting with modal and modeless forms Hi all I am writing a piece of control software that monitors data from a data source and controls the data source peripherals. I am using a Modeless Form to monitor the data and to change the data source parameters in real time. I am using Modal Forms to control the peripherals, because these are popped up, used and closed again when required. My problem, is that whenever I open one of the Modal Forms, the Modeless Form no longer responds to input. I could do this in C++ / MFC by giving the Modeless Form a NULL owner, but it seems as though in DotNet a NULL owner impies the Main Application Form.

    - ClickOnce and login on as a different user Hello group I'm developing an C# Windows Forms application that I would like to deploy using ClickOnce. One of the computers that the application is deployed on, is a computer that is always loged on as a generic "controlroom" user. This is necessary for some of the other applications running on the computer. On my application, the user should always logon as himself or herself. Therefore I need to present a login form to the user as the first thing. I have been considering using RunAs, but I'm not sure that is possible along with ClickOnce, at least nok using the GUI of RunAs. I have looked at the Windows API LogonUser, but that seems to be requiring unsafe code permissions and FullTrust, and I was hoping that I could avoid giving those permissions to the application, especially when I'm deploying it using ClickOnce. Do you have any alternative suggestions? Thank you for your answer. Regards Anders Olsen Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102854

Is there a way to determine the form from which the context menu was invoked in the click event handler? Usually I do this with Control.FindForm() but that does not work for the ContextMenu.

    - override maximize event I'm looking to execute a function when the Max button is clicked. I'd like to override the maximize event on an MDI child form so that instead of maximizing, it just fills the MDI area. I've found the code to max the form to the mdi size, but no luck on how to execute my function on the Max button click. I've been looking for a solution, but still no luck. I found the "MinMaxFormSize" article but it's not quite what i'm looking for. Thanks for any help. rich - vb.net '03 Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102841

    - FontDialog Only Allows Integrals? I've noticed that the FontDialog only allows positive integers as input when you show the dialog. Is there some reason for this? The font that it returns allows singles and I can't really find anywhere that explains why this might be. We're writing our own FontDialog (due to some other limitations), and we're trying to find out if there is a practical reason for this or if we should allow any positive decimal number. Thanks.

    - drilling down in a datagrid I have a datagrid with a dataset as its datasource. Its datamember is a table that has 3 datarelations defined in the dataset. I would like to capture the click event on the plus sign to avoid allowing the user to select which datarelation to use to view child records. Can I do this without subclassing the datagrid? If not, what is the best way to grab onto the plus-sign click (since datagrid.hittestinfo doesn't distinguish the plus-sign click from any other rowheader click)?

    - Custom title bar size in Non-client area Hi! I am trying to make a custom size title-bar in the non-client area of the form. I've tried hooking to the NCCALCSIZE message with this code: case (int)Native.NativeMethods.WindowMessages.WM_NCCALCSIZE: if (m.WParam == IntPtr.Zero) { // get the NCCALCSIZE parameters NativeMethods.NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS csp; // Marshal them from the pointer csp = (NativeMethods.NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS)Marshal.PtrToStructure(m.LParam, typeof(NativeMethods.NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS)); // Resize the client area to make more room above csp.rectBeforeMove.top-= csp.rectBeforeMove.top/ 2; Marshal.StructureToPtr(csp, m.LParam, false); } else { base.WndProc(ref m); } return; However, it just says that I am trying to read or write into a protected memory. If i modify any other value, i.e. right, left or bottom of the same rectangle, it works OK yet there are no changes. I also tried changing the other two rectangles, but the result is never what I need. I would really appriciate any suggestions on this topic. Tag: Moving childs within a MDI parent area Tag: 102799

Hi,

I am developing an application using VB.net (2005) and I would like to know
if there is a way for allowing MDI childs just to move within the borders of
the MDI parent.

Now the MDI childs are able to dissapear for a part out of the screen, and
then scrollbars appear. I would like to prevent that.

I've tested a little with the Move event, by changing back the MDI childs
position at a certain position, but this results in a nasty flickering effect.

Is there anyone who knows how to handle this problem ?

Thx, FrÃ©.
