Hi all
Adobe have an SDK for thier DNG file format which allows developers to code so that DNG file information can be read/written etc but the existing ones that I found where to be compiled for VS 2009, using C++ code
The other was for the MAC O/S
Does anyone know if an SDK for DNG is available for .NET windows forms programming please?
Many thanks in advance.
John

could you give me some example or link to do serial COM just using normal window form application.
actually, what i want to o is to communnicate between PC and microcontroller.

there are many different kinds of applications and ways to communicate over RS232C or some other serial standard, and you did not provide a single detail.
So I suggest you pick a few from this list[^] and read what you like there.
Warning: if you haven't done it before, serial communication on Windows can be quite complex to get it right almost all of the time, it depends on how high the load is (needed throughput versus available throughput), and how well your messages are structured (assuming a message oriented protocol of some kind).

Obviously you don't need .NET to access Windows serial ports, however I haven't done that in the last 10 years, and I don't keep any example around. I suggest you use Google (or maybe the CodeProject search facilities) to find relevant articles. IIRC you would need CreateFile (with a special filename), ReadFile, WriteFile and the like.

I can't find an example of this in any of my books, or the examples in the forum.
I am talking of course, about a menu item that shows an ellipsis, not the blocked in > sign, that must be clicked before the sub-menu appears.

Because it's non-standard behaviour. How would the user know that he/she needs to click the item, when the standard behaviour is hovering?
In other words, people are used to putting their car into reverse when they want to drive into that direction. Your "reverse" gear will work differently from what the user expects.

Could be done by adding the sub-items in the click-event, but that might be interpreted as a "choice" and might hide the item alltogether.

You can simply add three periods to the text of the menu item, then handle the menu item click like you always do, with an event handler. The triple period normally indicates a dialog is to be expected, and a Cancel option will be given. So make your handler do that.

Of course - no sub-menu items to appear during mouse-pointer "hover"

I need to create a taskbar in the mdiform just looks like windows taskbar..... when i open a form the name should be displayed in the taskbar when i minimize it should hide on the taskbar....

Sounds like a panel, docked to the bottom of the form.
chandru4uall wrote: when i open a form the name should be displayed in the taskbar
So, when you create a form, you also create a new Panel and add it to the "taskbar-panel".
chandru4uall wrote: when i minimize it should hide on the taskbar
You'd only have to hide the entire Window - the Panel that represents the Windows would still be there on the taskbar-panel.

I was reading up on screensavers (I'd like to try building one from scratch in VB). Am I correct in assuming that I can just write an exe to display the graphics, then manually rename the exe to an scr file to make it a screensaver? Sounds too easy to be true.
When compiling the list of available screen savers, the Control Panel searches the Windows Startup directory for files with the .scr extension. Because screen savers are standard Windows executable files with .exe extensions, you must rename them so they have .scr extensions and copy them to the correct directory.

Yes, but in this case it is. I have done this using C++ in the past, and all that is necessary is that the correct hooks are in place and it works like a charm.

Hi
I have a SplitContainer with two panels.
I'm adding controls dynamically through code to the first panel and it does it correctly - from left to right.
Than I trying to add same controls BUT to the second panel but it adds them from the last location I ended adding controls in the first panel.
Any idea how can I make the second add controls to the second panel from left to right?
BTW, it also concern adding other controls - like adding a lable at the top of every panel and only AFTERWARS adding the contorols UNDER IT.
Is there a way to move to the "next line" automatically or di I have to do it with a calculation?

You should add controls this way:
yourSplitContainer.Panel1.Controls.Add("Add control object here");
yourSplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add("Add control object here");

You will have to perform calculations for this. Also, take care of proper Anchoring and Docking so that layout remains good on resizing the form.
I personally prefer using TableLayoutPanel since it takes away a lot of pain that one needs to do while positioning dynamic controls. You can try using it if you wish.

Thanks for your answer d@nish.
The first code snippet is not very relevant to me because I need to separate two different types into two different areas. So after I iterate through the first type and finish adding it up:
yourSplitContainer.Panel1.Controls.Add(object1);
yourSplitContainer.Panel1.Controls.Add(object2);
yourSplitContainer.Panel1.Controls.Add(object3);
.
.
.
I move on to the next type and ad it up
yourSplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(object1);
yourSplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(object2);
yourSplitContainer.Panel3.Controls.Add(object3);
.
.
.
But as I said the locations of the second type are not placed from left to right.
I'll try to use TableLayoutPanel - I have never used it before.
Thanks!

Are you adding same objects in both the panels? Are you setting the location of the objects properly?

The objects are same controls ListViews
Well, no. I'm not setting this property at all.
I thought there's some property to make the controls align left to right or something.
The first panel's control's are being automatically added left to right, I didn't understand why this doesn't happen in the second panel.
