I was messing around with this code to hide my taskbar
ShowWindow(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", NULL), SW_HIDE);
I think it's C or C++, but I really don't know... anyways to make it work in my C# app I just put in 0, instead of SW_HIDE. I know SW_HIDE is in winuser.h and equals 0, so thats why I put 0...
So, my question... I feel like i'm cheating "hard coding" a 0. I would like to know how to use SW_HIDE and other things such as -- SW_SHOWNORMAL, SW_MAX etc. in winuser.h -- in my C# program the correct way.

They are usually just int variables , so you can do it like this:
private int SW_HIDE = 0;

You should actually declare them as consts. When it comes down to it, that's all they really are in C/C++ - constants. Since they're pre-proc definitions, they can't be changed by code. The value is actually inserted.
When you declare them as consts, the value is actually used as well. Those values will never change, and using consts is faster.
You can also use enums, which is another common way (but often requires casting to an int or something). The values of the enum are also used in place of a reference (they're value types).
That's just the way it is.

Since you cant use C++ .H files in C#, you have to recode the structures and constants you need from the header files into C# code. Just like Mazy showed you...

like sorta make a class library out of them?

You could. Then in that library, you make the function declarations static so you don't have to instantiate the class in order to use the functions.

If I insert .wmf file to an RTF file programatically Or simply by 'opening that RTF file and insert picture' way, it works fine. But when I select the image and try to compress or enlarge it, the line width of the image changes. How to avoid that? I want to make the widh of lines FIX.
Please guide

What do you mean by "lines"? An image - such as a .wmf - takes up a block of space, not lines. When you change the size of the image, the lines above and below it (perhaps beside it as well, if there's any wrapping) will move, too. This is true even in Word unless you change a lot of settings that aren't available in RTF.
If you want to learn about the RTF codes that you could try to fanagle, read the RTF 1.7 Specifications, available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e5b8ebc2-6ad6-49f0-8c90-e4f763e3f04f&DisplayLang=en[^].

Thanks for the reply. I am reading RTF 1.8 Specification.
Let me re arrange my words, "Lines" means, lets say I draw a simple line in .wmf file and add that to RTF document. When I open the document and select .wmf image with the help of mouse and enlarge it, the size (width and height) of the rectangle (i.e. wmf image) increases that is acceptable but at the same time the line's width also increases, it becomes fat. Can we not control it at the time of creation of .wmf image?
sorry for messy description

That's what's supposed to happen. WMF is a vector graphic, meaning, basically, that the instructions to draw shapes is stored, not the shapes themselves. This is so that proportionally the graphic looks the same at any resolution.
Now, there may be a way to draw a rasterized shape (rendered) but I really don't know.

yes you are very correct, all theory I read so far say the same thing about vector graphics and it is also said that .wmf can contain rasterized shapes (like bitmaps ) but nothing is said about how to add bitmaps to .wmf
may be i need to search more.
thanks

I have three classes A,B & C
A can instantiate B
B can instantiate C
but A cannot instantiate C
How can we do that
|
|
|
|
|
Put B and C in a separate DLL and mark C as 'internal', instead of 'public'.
Other way is making C a protected (or private) class inside the class B.
Yes, even I am blogging now!

 I give up. Is there an option D?

Hi, where can i foud a library for probabilty.
normal, binomial, etc probabilty distrbutions.
Thanks.

Hi there!
I had the same problem some months ago and couldn't find a complete C# library for this. So I've done this myself. In recent future, I want to write an article about that but have no time for this now.
Anyway, to get what you want, there are two ways.
Either you can look for some Probability Library which is written for C++ or so and use it to create a Class Library for .NET. Take a look at this article[^] here on CodeProject which presents a wrapper for the random generators of the Boost.Random library for C++. As the Boost library also contains numerous distributions you could write a wrapper for them on your own orientating on the work done with the random generators.
The other and as I think preferable way would be implementing the distributions completely on your own. This isn't very hard, as they only do some mathematical operations with the numbers provided by a random generator. To know which mathematical ops you have to perform take a look at existing implementations of distributions like the Boost Library. Also I found this nice site[^] which provides good information about some distribution including formulas how to create the random numbers.
Hope this helps!?

Thank you! I will be waiting your article.
For now I will make something with my old probabilty books andyour links.

Good to know that at least someone will read it 
I will try to remember giving you a note when it's online. Hope I get this done in July after finishing my Bachelor thesis.
Until then, Happy Programming

Hello, just wanted to say hello. I recently started programming in C# and this looks to be a good place to gain knowledge. I hope to share my rambling thoughts with you and pester you for questions as the year progresses... anyway; well met!

Is there a way to make drawing of Metafile (WMF) anti-aliased?
When I draw any metafile I get jagged edges for lines or circles.
I tried using:
Graphics.InterpolationMode
Graphics.PixelOffsetMode
Graphics.SmoothingMode
and they don't do anything for metafiles. They do work when I use drawline or drawcircle.
Thanks.

Hi, I'm writing a project that takes values out of a n OleDbDataReader and places them into a text file exactly.
In other words, it has start codes, end codes, and line terminator codes. The line terminator sequence is a 0x0A (LF) followed by 0x00 (NULL). However, when writing this, the next string to be written has strange characters in front of it, like it'll have the 0x00 and then 0x13, which if left in and used in production, will cause the system that processes this file to reject it.
I'm using a BinaryWriter, and it's opened with ASCII encryption specified, so I do not know what is wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

Since you have specified ASCII encoding, I assume you are using the string overload of the BinaryWriter.Write method. This method writes strings prefixed by their length. That explains the strange characters you are seeing.
You would be better of converting the string to a series of bytes or chars first.
