hi,
I guess you need to set the
"listBox1.HorizontalScrollbar = true"
property of the ListBox... and that will do the magic...

i did that !!!! for c#'s sake !!!
check the code

hi,
But your code shows that the line is commented... for your ease let me point out the line with repeated "*"s...
// Handle the MeasureItem event for an owner-drawn ListBox.
private void ListBox1_MeasureItem(object sender,
MeasureItemEventArgs e)
{
// Cast the sender object back to ListBox type.
ListBox theListBox = (ListBox) sender;
// Get the string contained in each item.
string itemString = (string) theListBox.Items[e.Index];
// Split the string at the " . " character.
string[] resultStrings = itemString.Split('.');
// If the string contains more than one period, increase the
// height by ten pixels; otherwise, increase the height by
// five pixels.
if (resultStrings.Length>2)
{
e.ItemHeight += 10;
/*********** you have commented here**********************/
//theListBox.HorizontalScrollbar = true ;
/********************************************************/
}
else
{
e.ItemHeight += 5;
}
e.ItemWidth +=100000 ;
}
and if it has still not worked...
then try declaring the same when you are instantiating or rather creating the listbox...

Aryadip.

How to check Maximize button click event of a Form or how to check whether present size of form is maximum available size.
please guide...
|
|
|
|
|
hi,
Handle the "SizeChanged" event of the Form and use the following code :
private void Form1_SizeChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if(this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
{
MessageBox.Show("the window is maximized !!");
}
}
Hope this solves your prob...
regards,
Aryadip.
Cheers !! and have a Funky day !!

Or at any time check the Form.WindowState to see if it's maximized or not. If you need to check if the form isn't maximized but fills the entire desktop area, you can also compare Form.Bounds with SystemInformation.WorkingArea or Screen.WorkingArea (using a certain screen on a multi-monitor system).

static void Main(string[] args)
{
XPathNavigator nav;
XPathNodeIterator NodeIterator;
System.String line = "<a> " +
"<b>" +
"<c>100</c>" +
"<d>20</d>" +
"</b>" +
"</a>";
System.Xml.XmlTextReader textReader=new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(new System.IO.StringReader(line));
nav=new System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument(textReader).CreateNavigator();
NodeIterator = nav.Select("a/b");
while(NodeIterator.MoveNext())
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Value: " + NodeIterator.Current.Value);
}
}
This code prints value of the node 'a/b' as '10020'. Actually the value should have been empty. Can any one explain the correct way of retrieving the value of the parent node.

The child elements of b are part of the node set of b, so they will be displayed using an XPathNodeIterator.
Also, you should simply create a new System.IO.StringReader in your XmlTextReader constructor. You should dispose this when finished, and you can't like this. ASsign it to a local variable and call Dispose when you're finished with it (or use a using block which automatically disposes the object when it falls out of scope regardless of any exceptions thrown).

Dear helpers out there
1. how do I display data from database into a checkbox list?
2. how do I display a new data into that checkbox list (into its database as well), when I add the new data from a AddButton_click?
Thank You A Bunch !! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

You set the DataSource property to a valid data source, like a DataSet or DataTable. If your data source implements IListSource (like a DataSet), then you should set the DataMember to the name of the object (like the name of the DataTable you want to bind to).
Then, set the DataTextField and DataValueField to the names of the columns or properties (depending on whether you bind against a ADO.NET data source or a list of objects).
If you add a row to the CheckBoxList, make sure it gets added to the data source (like a DataSet). If you want to add this to the database as well, you should either use a DataAdapter derivative (like a SqlDataAdapter for SQL Server) with the command properties set accordingly and call Update, passing the DataSet. You could also just add it manually to the database and to the DataSet, but then you have a synchronization problem (they might get out of sync).

Hi folks,
Having just discovered the delights of using IDisposable properly, I have a question concerning the disposal of collections of IDisposable objects.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a class implementing IDisposable. This class owns a collection of other objects that implement IDisposable.
So, when I dispose the main object, should I dispose the contents of the array as well?
Any advise, comments and/or opinions welcome.
PS: Sorry for any typos I suffering mild RSI (three days of furious coding)

If the class "owns" the objects (e.g., private fields) then, yes, you should dispose them.
If the class is merely a container for the objects (e.g., a collection like ArrayList), then no, the class user is responsible for that.
Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them...

I'm not sure how to explain this.
E.G. on a Data Grid Control (Design Time) in the Property Window there is a Auto Format..., Property Builder... Link.
When Clicked on, a window opens up and you can change the properties in a Windows Form.
now my Question is How do I create the Same thing on a control of mine.

|

Implement your own designer class (like a ControlDesigner) and override the Verbs property. Attribute your control or component with the Type of your designer using the DesignerAttribute class.
See the ComponentDesigner.Verbs property documentation in the .NET Framework SDK for more details. You should also read Enhancing Design-Time Support[^] in the .NET Framework SDK.

problem with using VNC hooking
--------------------------------------------------------------
i have got a vnchood.dll and its source code.
the vnchood.dll use a global hook to monitor the desktop's changed area. i want to implement it in my c# project. but i dont know how to use it.
after my study on the source code ,i draw a conclusion: the hook posts messages to its calling thread, and the thread handle the coming message and to do something.
in my c# project,i invoke peekMessage() to gain the message from the hook. but the message seems wrong for it is always an invalide massage.
here is my part code:
private void hookthread()
{
while(true)
{
if(PeekMessage( ref msg,IntPtr.Zero,0,0,1))
{
if ( msg.message == UPDATEMSG )
{
idle_skip = true;
Console.WriteLine("hwnd:"+msg.hwnd);
}
else if ( msg.message == MOUSEMSG )
{
idle_skip = true;
Console.WriteLine("hwnd:"+msg.hwnd);
}
else if ( msg.message == WNDMSG )
{
Console.WriteLine("hwnd:"+msg.hwnd);
}
else if ( msg.message == WM_QUIT )
{
break;
}
else if ( msg.message == WM_USER )
{
Console.WriteLine("hwnd:"+msg.hwnd);
}
else if ( msg.message == WM_USER+2 )
{
Console.WriteLine("hwnd:"+msg.hwnd);
}
else if ( msg.message == WM_USER+1 )
{
}
else
{
TranslateMessage(ref msg); <--- the Loop always be here
DispatchMessage(ref msg);
idle_skip = true;
}
}
else
{
dosomthing();
}
}
---------------------------------
can u give me a suggestion ? or other C# sample using VNC hooking ?

Are you saying that you're rewriting the vnchook.dll in C#?

Hello,
I am using System.Net.Sockets in my app. I took some example code from MSDN for connecting a socket to a listening server, and I put it in an Windows Control (I believe same as ActiveX)...
Unfortunately, the following exception is raised when I try to call: hostEntry = Dns.Resolve(server);
The actual code could be found at MSDN.
Exception:
---------------------------
---------------------------
Exception Object
Source:mscorlib
Message:Request for the permission of type System.Net.DnsPermission, System, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Another important fact is that I am trying to access the control through an HTML page.
Help on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Are you by any chance running your app from a link in a web browser?

Hello,
Yes, I attempt to run my ActiveX control through a web page (with the <object> html tag)...
Hope it gives any clues to the problem.

You need to make sure you have a code group set up in the .NET Framework Configuration (the code access security groups) for your control. You should use Site or Url evidence (host evidence) that matches the site or url from where your control runs (the hosting page URL isn't a factory - only the URL of the control). You should make sure that the DnsPermission is granted, or just cop-out and grant that code group FullTrust permissions.
.NET Code Access Security (CAS) is an important part of the .NET Framework. It's a much better sandbox than what you find in Java, and many, many times better than what's available for ActiveX. For a good article on .NET CAS, see Understanding .NET Code Access Security[^].
For more information, also see an old article of mine describing the entire process of hosting .NET controls in Internet Explorer, User Controls for Windows and the Web[^].

You could traverse your "control"-collection/array/etc and use the center of each "control" as the start/end-point of your line?

A common approach is to define a base class from which all shapes derive. You would define a property on this class that is either a collection or array (which is actually a static collection and list) that stores points. If you want, you could define this property as virtual and provide default connection points. If you declare it as abstract, then every derivative must override it. For any classes where you want to return a custom list of connection points, override the property (assuming it's optionally using a virtual property) and return coordinates of connection points.
Then, these connection point classes that you store maintain a list of other controls' connection points (which should have a member that returns the control they're a connection point for). When painting the container/surface, you draw a line between each connection point that is related to another. This is the reason you define a base class - so you can refer to every shape through it's abstract base class. This is polymorphism.
If you search CodeProject, you should find a couple examples, IIRC.
