 Why on earth would you put a string that long in a TreeView? That is more like detail that should be displayed on some other control. I'm just saying this because if I saw an application do something like that, the first thought in my head would be "WHAT WERE THE DEV's THINKING WHEN THEY DID THIS?!?!"
Now, the TreeView control doesn't support putting huge strings on multiple lines in a single node. You COULD break up that string into multiple nodes under the same parent node. Or you could attempt to ownerdraw the TreeView, but that's not exactly easy. Another option would be to check out an alternate TreeView control from, say, Infragistics...

Hi
Im creating a service application which has the job of watching if my main application is running.
If my application is not running, I wish to start it, but this is where my problems ocures.
It seems that my service application correctly sees that my program is not running, but when it starts the program it just never shows up.
If i take a look in my process list, the program has been started but the GUI (a simple form) is just never shown.
I have a feeling that its because the process is also started in the context of the windows service, and therefor does not support a GUI.
If i run my code in a standard windows app, it works just fine.
Has anyone got any sugestions?
Heres the code I use to check and start up my application:
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("WindowsApplication4");
if(processes.Length != 1)
{
Process tallyMachine = new Process();
tallyMachine.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\WindowsApplication4\\WindowsApplication4.exe";
tallyMachine.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\\WindowsApplication4";
tallyMachine.Start();
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated 
Regards

Hi,
Try this...
tallyMachine.startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;
Add this line in your code and see if it works...
Hope this solves your prob...

Aryadip.

Your absolutely right! This IS what's happening!
To fix this this, try going into the Services manager, click the Properties of your service, change the logon to "Local System Account", then enable "Allow service to interact with desktop". This should take care it.

Great
This works absolutly perfect.
Thank you very much.

Another alternative is to set the credentials of the service to a user with "Log on Locally" and "Log in as a Service" rights. What Dave said is perfectly fine, but it runs with SYSTEM privileges. Just something to think about depending on what your application does.

Hi,
Has anyone made some examples/functions for combining bitmaps? I have one simple program that can seperates a color picture into C,M,Y,K colors picture.
Now I want to combine these pictures into one picture under C#, and finally convert it to *.jpg.
So anyone knows how to do this process..?
THanks for your kindly help..

|

yes.. it is alpha blend images.
e.g. I used the simple program to seperate the color image into C,M,Y,K 4 images. They are same, but different color seperation layers
Now I wnat to generate a correct color image as same as origion one in C#, and then preview it. I don't know how can I do this blending process..
Can you help me ? Thank you

Well the earlier response I guess answers your question. I just would like to add that you may go through Microsoft Data Application Block(downloadable from Microsoft site) and use their ready made methods to connect to database and retrieve or insert data. It is damn simple to use and very very efficient... believe me... and lines of code???... Imagine writing just 2 lines of code to retrieve data from database...
To give you a picture... the application block manages the connection... you only need to supply the query...
Cheers...

Thanks so much for the answers!
It worked out great. I didnt try the data application block, but I will look in to that later!

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

Aryadip.

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...
regards,
Aryadip.
Cheers !! and have a Funky day !!
