Re: Scrollbar automatically reset when control get focus ?

6-Mar-09 2:34

That is an excellent reply! Thank you for your consideration.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your problem. Let me tell you what I did and then you can tell me how we differ.

I created a Form. I put a Button on it and set its Dock property to DockStyle.Bottom. Then, I put a Panel on it and set its Dock property to DockStyle.Fill. I set AutoScroll to True. I added three TextBoxes, one at the top, another about two-thirds of the way down, and another beyond the clipping box causing the scrollbar to appear.

When I ran this project, I scrolled the Panel all the way to its bottom so that I could see the last added TextBox. Then, I clicked on the Button. Then, I clicked on the Panel. The Panel just sat there and mocked me. It did not, however, automatically reset to the default position.

Do you think that you could post some of your code so that we can look at it?

Hi,

I did what you said and surprisingly, it did not cause the problem. Then i tried to point out what's the difference. After a while, i found out that my control which is inside the Panel, actually extends the UserControl, and that's the cause of the problem. If i change it so that it extends other Control, such as Panel, then no problem at all. I still dont know why.

In summary :

If a Panel with Scrollbar contains an UserControl, then when the Panel loose focus(user click on other Control outside the Panel) and then get back the focus(user click on the UserControl), then the Scrollbar will automatically reset to default position !

But if it's other kind of Control instead of UserControl, then everything is fine.

I'll try to find out why.

Great detective work! I appreciate your hard work.

I created a simple class the inherits from UserControl. I put that on the form, too. Still no scrolling.

I wonder if your custom control is the culprit.

Hi Curtis Schlak,

I have tried to put a dummy UserControl into a Panel, make the Scrollbar on the Panel appear, scroll the Scrollbar to some position, then make the Panel loose focus, and then make it get back the focus by clicking on the UserControl, the Scrollbar automatically reset.

But if i replace the UserControl with a Panel, then no reset at all.

Help you with what? You didn't ask a question you just asked for help? Are you asking for someone to do the work for you? That's not really how this site works. There are some that do work that way like Rentacoder.com

We can help if you get stuck, or provide a link to an article that sets you off in the right direction.

Within what timespan? Writing it yourself is an option, but if you don't know the language then it will take some effort and time.

Start out with writing a small prototype that reads data from a SQL Server table. Exporting the data back to Excel goes somewhat along the same route. If you get stuck with a particular piece o' code, or want explanation about something that you're puzzled about, check back here. Copy & paste the code into a new post, without the "please" and "I need it", and you'll get some helpfull answers.

Could be done in a couple o' days Smile | :)

Hello. Thanks for the replies.

The below code works, it is made on Console Application.. but how to get the column names .. I m just getting only data..

namespace SqldataTable_to_Excel
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string path = @"C:\db.xls";
            if (!File.Exists(path))
            {
                // Create a file to write to.
                using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path))
                {
                    //creating the file contents
                    SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=NT_VIRUS;Initial Catalog=test;Integrated Security=True");
                    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM planets", cn);
                    try
                    {
                        cn.Open();
                        SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                        while (dr.Read())
                        {
                            sw.WriteLine(dr["name"].ToString() + "\t" + dr["age"].ToString());
                        }

                        Console.WriteLine("Database has been exported.");
                    }
                    catch (Exception excpt)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(excpt.Message);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Good job

There is more than one way to get the column-names. You could read the data into a DataTable, instead of using the dataReader. A DataTable also holds some information on the metadata of the table, such as columnnames.

You could also ask SQL Server to give you the same metadata. Execute the SQL-statement below (with the correct tablename) to get a list of columnnames, their types and length Smile | :)

SELECT sysobjects.name AS TableName,
       syscolumns.name AS ColumnName,
       datatype=systypes.name,
       length=syscolumns.length
  FROM sysobjects 
  JOIN syscolumns ON sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id
  JOIN systypes ON syscolumns.xtype=systypes.xtype
 WHERE sysobjects.name = 'AfvinkCode'

Thanks but I didn't understand .. how to apply this in my code.. could you please elaborate mate..

Curtis Schlak.6-Mar-09 4:24

Ok, you really don't seem to know what you're doing. While CodeProject will help you when you get stuck on a problem or want advice, I don't think that anyone will hold your hand to walk you through the creation of your application. That's what books, schools, online posts (though you're confused by them), and mentors are for.

Eddy gave you SQL! If you don't know how to invoke it, then you have a lot more learning to do than I (or anyone else, I think) would want to provide to you.

First, figure out what you want to do. Then, try to learn something about it. Then, come back here and ask a better question than what distills to "Thanks for the code snippet, can you please write the rest of the code for me, too?"

Combobox does have an autocomplete property. Set that and autocomplete source.

Hi I have a requirement as follows.
We have a series of applications all belong to a group(actually we have several groups with several applications in each group). So we have developed these applications of a particular group as a seperate projects and later added this projects to a single solution(that solution identified as a group).
Now as part of deployment of this applications we want to have a single setup.exe for each group and when user clicks setup.exe of a particular group he must be provided the option of the choosing applications belonging to that group and accodingly the installation should proceed in installing the corresponding applications of that group.

Kindly give me a suggestion for doing this

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Krishna Mohan.
