For that you need to do following.
1. Maintain one dictionary which will serve as base for auto suggestion.
2. Bind that dictionary with your textbox.
3. Track keypress event of your textbox and suggest world if it is starting
from the character user enters.
That's All.

Thanks for the reply. However, I'm not sure if you're following one of the key points I was trying to accomplish - T9. I'm not working by standard letter entry, but rather by T9 entry (or the newer XT9). In the very least this would involve adding the equivalent T9 values for each word in the dictionary, but it still wouldn't account for word usage/popularity. Obviously there are ways that this can be coded completely from scratch, but I wanted to first see if anyone was doing something similar using an already establish method, API, etc.
Thanks again.

Yes definitely possible, though probably not entirely in .NET, and don't think there are API beside the standard Win32 API, and you got to code most of the libraries.
You'll need a light and efficient database for the dictionary, an algorithm to retrieve the words fast, an algorithm to account for the most recent used words, adding and removing words from the dictionary.
You'll need some way to hook the keypress, and sending the character or control characters (backspace, etc) to the control.

Not T9, but been playing with something similar. Kinda started with a Wiktionary-download, gives you a decent dictionary. Once that was in place, started fetching websites to do a statistical analysis.
Read a few sites in a loop (of the correct target-audience) and mark how often a word follows the previous word. Thus resulted in a crash of my machine 
Filtered out all noise-words for the analysis, as there's a lot of words that might follow the word "this". The remark on the target-audience would be important because "this" often has a different meaning on the CodeProject-site than in normal conversation.
..and that's when I stopped playing with it, my harddisk isn't that large. You wouldn't need the complete resultset to give decent options as a prediction; only the top 5000 or so. Still, sounds like a lot of work, and the method that I described here is probably one of the less efficient ways to do it.

I'm trying to do something that should be simple. We have a DRM encripted WMV file, and we need to control the size of the activation window that comes up while the license is being verified. I've seen files that do this, but we haven't been able to find a way. Apparently this is set by Windows Media Player. How do we tell WMP what size window we want?

You could try using the WinAPI, using FindWindow and SendMessage to set the appropriate size.

The following code is meant to draw a grid and is a custom control (one that can be dragged from the toolbox)
:
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
AutoScroll = true;
}
Point _rowColumn;
Point _widthHeight;
Rectangle[,] _bound;
public void Init(int x, int y, int width, int height)
{
SetAutoSizeMode(AutoSizeMode.GrowAndShrink);
_rowColumn = new Point(x, y);
_bound = new Rectangle[x, y];
_widthHeight = new Point(width, height);
_drawArea = new Bitmap(Width, Height);
LoadTiles();
_loaded = true;
AutoScrollMinSize = new Size(x * width, y * height);
}
void LoadTiles()
{
for (int x = 0; x < _rowColumn.X; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < _rowColumn.Y; y++)
{
_bound[x, y] = new Rectangle(x* _widthHeight.X, y*_widthHeight.Y, _widthHeight.X, _widthHeight.Y);
}
}
}
Bitmap _drawArea;
bool _loaded = false;
void DrawGrid()
{
Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage(_drawArea);
gfx.Clear(Color.White);
Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black,1);
foreach (Rectangle r in _bound)
{
gfx.DrawRectangle(pen, r);
}
gfx.Dispose();
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
e.Graphics.Clear(Color.White);
Matrix mx = new Matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, AutoScrollPosition.X, AutoScrollPosition.Y);
e.Graphics.Transform = mx;
e.Graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Pixel;
if (!_loaded) return;
DrawGrid();
Graphics gfx = e.Graphics;
gfx.DrawImage(_drawArea, -AutoScrollPosition.X, -AutoScrollPosition.Y, _drawArea.Width, _drawArea.Height);
gfx.Dispose();
}
private void UserControl1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
}
}
It displays everything but for some reason when I scroll the lines distort!
Here is a link of what it looks like without scrolling (what I would like it to look like)
http://img130.imageshack.us/i/should.png/
Here is a link to what it looks like when scrolled:
http://img139.imageshack.us/i/isnt.png/[^]
The control has no embedded stuff (ie the auto scroll is applied directly to the blank box that appears by default when creating a new control).
Thanks !

the problem with AutoScroll is Windows, while scrolling, will copy and move that part of the painting that it can reuse, and order your Paint handler to only paint the new stuff, the part that becomes visible by scrolling. And that interferes with your intentions.
Furthermore, your code is much too complex; you are using an image, there is no need for, nor advantage in, doing that. Here is a simple example that works well; I use a specialized panel to get double-buffering, and I invalidate the (entire) panel when scrolling, forcing an all-paint, no-copy approach.
Panel p;
int nHor=40;
int nVert=10;
int wid=20;
int hei=20;
public void Demo() {
Form f=new Form();
f.Bounds=new Rectangle(0, 0, 500, 500);
p=new UserDrawnPanel();
p.Bounds=new Rectangle(20, 20, 400, 400);
p.AutoScroll=true;
p.AutoScrollMinSize=new Size(nHor*wid+10, nVert*hei+10);
p.BackColor=Color.White;
p.Paint+=new PaintEventHandler(p_Paint);
p.Scroll+=new ScrollEventHandler(p_Scroll);
f.Controls.Add(p);
f.Show();
}
void p_Scroll(object sender, ScrollEventArgs e) {
log("Scroll="+e.NewValue);
p.Invalidate();
}
void p_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) {
Graphics g=e.Graphics;
log("ClipRectangle="+e.ClipRectangle);
log("AutoScrollPosition="+p.AutoScrollPosition);
g.TranslateTransform(p.AutoScrollPosition.X, p.AutoScrollPosition.Y);
for (int y=0; y<=nVert; y++) g.DrawLine(Pens.Black, 0, y*hei, nHor*wid, y*hei);
for (int x=0; x<=nHor ; x++) g.DrawLine(Pens.Black, x*wid, 0, x*wid, nVert*hei);
}
class UserDrawnPanel : Panel {
public UserDrawnPanel() {
SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, true);
}
}
BTW: you can safely ignore the log statements.

Hi,
I am trying to prevent users from resizing the form window. I have set:
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;
this.ControlBox = false;
It prevents user from resizing except that if I doouble-click on the title bar on top, it resizes. Is there a way to prevent this as well?
Thanks.
|
|

|

Hi,
if you were to have
if (WindowState==FormWindowState.Normal) WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
within the Form's Resize handler, you probably would get what you want (a Form that is either Maximized or Minimized).
And I as a user would probably hate your app and remove it from my system right away.
I like an app to remember its window bounds and reuse the same value next time around, and not to dictate how I choose to use my system.
|
|
|
|
|
I understand it is not user friendly but it is not supposed to be. This is for a kiosk style app and it is the only app running and should always be in maximze state. I would also remove any app from my machine if it dictates how it should be alwyas be displayed.

In case someone else has the same issue, this is how I solved it:
protected override void WndProc(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message message)
{
const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;
const int SC_MOVE = 0xF010;
const int WM_NCDOUBLECLICK = 0x00A3;
switch(message.Msg)
{
case WM_SYSCOMMAND:
int command = message.WParam.ToInt32() & 0xfff0;
if (command == SC_MOVE)
return;
break;
// Non-client double click
case WM_NCDOUBLECLICK:
return;
}
base.WndProc(ref message);
}
|
|
|
|
|
That may be both unnecessary and insufficient; if the application shows in the task bar, you can right click there and choose "Restore".
|
|
|
|

Thanks Luc. It is a kiosk app and I am actually in the process of finding some way to clamp down on what users can do (disable CTL-ALT-DEL, ALT-TAB, etc., remove task bar, ...)
In case anyone knows how to accomplish these, i would really appreciate a sample or pointing me to right direction.
|

You should have said so right away. I have no experience with kiosk mode, but the topic pops up regularly around here; the best reply seems to be this one[^]. For more, use CodeProject's message search facility, or Google.

I would like to have the grid automatically add a new row when the user presses "Tab" from the last cell in the last row of the grid.
I have set AllowUserAddRows property to "false"
Thanks,
Sri

I think this should be simple. You need to capture the KeyPreview on dgv, check if there is a cell selected, then if it is the last cell,last row and then add a new column. Then set the selection to the first cell of the new row.

i need help on usb drive. when a user inserts a usb drive, auto run starts and diplays some of the options to select from. what i want is to add my applications exe to the list of auto run when usb drive is inserted in usb port, so that i can select my application and do some aftermath. please help. simply i want usb drive to run my application when i insert it into my computer.

I am new to making custom windows forms control's and created a small component that can draw a grid.
The problem I am facing is when I scroll using the panels auto scroll features it seems to flicker and be displaced but what I am hoping for is a smooth transition across the x or y axis.
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace TileMapper.Presentation.Controls
{
public partial class MapRenderer : UserControl
{
private Point _tileBound;
private Point _rowsColumns;
private bool _initalized = false;
public MapRenderer()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DoubleBuffered = true;
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer |
ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer |
ControlStyles.UserPaint |
ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
this.UpdateStyles();
}
public void InitalizeGrid(int tileWidth, int tileHeight, int rows, int columns)
{
_tileBound = new Point(tileWidth, tileHeight);
_rowsColumns = new Point(rows, columns);
panel1.AutoScrollMinSize = new Size(_tileBound.X * _rowsColumns.X, _tileBound.Y * _rowsColumns.Y);
_initalized = true;
_pen = new Pen(Color.Black);
_tile = new Rectangle(0, 0, _tileBound.X, _tileBound.Y);
}
Pen _pen;
Rectangle _tile;
void DrawGrid(Graphics e)
{
Image im = Image.FromFile(@"H:\My Pictures/tile.png");
for (int x = 0; x < _rowsColumns.X; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < _rowsColumns.Y; y++)
{
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(x * _tileBound.X - panel1.HorizontalScroll.Value
, y * _tileBound.Y-panel1.VerticalScroll.Value, _tileBound.X, _tileBound.Y);
e.DrawRectangle(_pen, rec);
e.DrawImage(im, rec, _tile, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
}
}
}
private void panel1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
if (_initalized) DrawGrid(e.Graphics);
}
}
}
The design code and such is literally all design and has no functionality and has no need to be here.
Sorry for the bad code but I have tried many double buffering techniques and such to fix this problem so its a bit hacked up 
Anyone got some ideas to stop this flicker?
Thanks !
