You can try doxygen. Its rather flexable. Smile | :)

Hello,

I agree with you. Doxygen is great. But it will be also great to have some kind of tool as described working with the .NET documentation system.

What about NDOC? You can then use the VSHK to convert the CHM into a .NET help project.

Webbrowser control and multithreading.

Hello,

I'm wondering if anybody managed to use the webbrowser
control in a multithreaded application.
I would like to have several browsers runnning in
parrallel in the same program, but when I create several
webbrowser controls and call the navigate() function of
each of them to load different sites, it seems that if one
of them is long or somewhat stuck it affects all the
others. If I increase the number of webbrowser I get even
more troubles. I'm doing my tests using C#.
Has anybody tried this kind of solution ? Any experience
will be welcome.

Thanks,

I believe that's because all web browser control instances are hosted by a unique ole control site.

I would try to write my own. Derive the AxHost class. (google!)

Hello Stephane,

Thank you for your help. Do you have any idea on how to test that with VS .NET easely (if the instances are hosted by the same control) ?

Hi,

I am trying to display a metafile as a background of a C# custom control.
I need the control allows to zoom the metafile without image degradation (the metafile contains only lines and arcs, no bitmaps).
The DrawImage method do not give me the desiree result since scaling yield a loose of details.

e.Graphics.ScaleTransform(100, -100);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(image, 0,0)

or

e.Graphics.DrawImage(image, Rectangle(0,0,100,100))

Using PlayRecord method of Metafile class the drawing process is too slow.

Any ideas?

Thank you

do any body knows a good reference on how to use DDE by C#
i tried to do that using DDEML (APIs) but am stucked with the getdata method, it takes a pointer paramenter to a data type that should be a string, and i don't think that we can make a pointer to a string in C#...ref and out gives a null reference exipition.

please help me...i will be very thankful

Hello,
I work on the same think. To make DDE working for C#. It is very difficult.

For getdata I use following declaration

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public unsafe static extern int DdeGetData(IntPtr hData, sbyte *pDst, int cbMax, int cbOff);

and in the code I do

arry = new Byte[cb];
fixed(Byte result = arry)
{
User.DdeGetData(hData, result, cb, 0);
ppsz = new StringBuilder(new string(result));
}

Did you have some progress or did you gave up.

So far my class is working for some time, but fails later with a illegal memory access error, which is probably caused by the GC in C#.

Hope that helps,

ToolTip / picturebox question - Urgent..for school

this one might be alittle easy....im just having a little trouble. I have a form..that has 2 tab pages embeded into (and tbcontrol) on the second tab .. i have a PictureBox (pbox1). Inside that picture box (pbox1)i have put other picture boxes (pbox2) that move to diffrent locations at diffrent times. i need to find a way to get (pbox2) to display its own tool tip. I cant seem to event get a OnMouseMove override to work on (pbox2). Is there something i need to do before hand to get the tooltip class to be noticed by (pbox2). Thanks alot for your time. I can make this work fine on the form its self. But as soon as i add the pictureBox(pbox1) to a tabpage all of the functions (i.e OnMouseOver) dont respond. Is there some kind of command i need to enable on the tabpage / tabcontrol to get it to show my tool tips or respond to mouse over events ? thanks alot

If you have any further questions reguarding this one...please post them here...i will get back to them ASAP.

It might be helpful if you included some code...maybe ftp the code somewhere so that we can all look at it. The form sounds like it's a mess. Wink | ;)

i can email it to. you its about 300+ lines... It is part of a project for school. The project is to create a traffic simulation with cars randomly generated...with random types....cars changing lanes , random speed and space buffers. I choose to use picture boxes because instead of using just drawing graphics i could assing the picture box its own tool tip. the text of the tool tip would reflect the speed,lane postion ect of thta car. It works as suspected. but as soon as i draw the "cars" on a tabcontrol/tabpage the tooltip of the "cars" dont work. But if i draw them onto the form itself. it works fine. Anyways give me your email and ill send you that class as well as the main class.

Is there a way to change the Title Bar font? I don't want to change the fonts from Display Properties cause it changes all the Windows Title Fonts. I am looking for a C# function or maybe a WinAPI to achieve this.

Thanks in advance

Function shortcuts?

Hi. Is it possible to do something like this? :

res = Response;
res.Write("hello world");

Re: Function shortcuts?

David Stone25-Apr-03 8:13

David Stone

25-Apr-03 8:13

Well, the Response class is of type HttpWebResponse. So what you would really do is this:

HttpWebResponse res = Response;
res.Write("hello world");

This works because HttpWebResponse is a reference type, so all you are doing is creating a new reference to the same Response type.

Problem with unmanaged thread using more than one appdomains

davidliu638724-Apr-03 5:19

24-Apr-03 5:19

I am developing a set of desktop apps using C# with wrappers for existing unmanaged c++ code. The unmanaged c++ code creates its own threads. The application runs fine as individual processes but each one takes a large amount of memory (~30M). To reduce the memory usage, I am trying to run all of the apps in a single process with multiple AppDomains.

The problem I have right now is that when I created multiple appDomains using the same unmanged dll. But all the unmanaged threads were created under the first AppDomain I created and not to AppDomain that created them.

Can someone help me out with this problem?

First of all there is never a one to one correnspondence b/w app domains and threads. Code from two different appdomains can execute in the same thread. When you create a new app domain and call AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly the execution is on the same thread. So in your case after creating the thread create a new app domain on each of the thread and execute the assemblies.

apferreira24-Apr-03 7:45

What you describe happens because Visual Studio instantiates Form1 in the following way.

<br />
static void Main() <br />
{<br />
    Application.Run(new Form1());<br />
}<br />

As you can see, it does not create a variable to hold the object, it just
creates an instance of itself.

But you can declare a public static variable in Form 1 class to hold the reference to your form:

<br />
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form<br />
{<br />
        public static Form1 mainForm;<br />
               <br />
(...)<br />

Then, before hiding your main Form you would store its reference in the mainForm variable:

<br />
mainForm=this;<br />

Since mainForm is a public static variable of the class Form1, you are now able to access your object in any Form your project has through this variable.

<br />
Form1.mainForm.Show();<br />
