Again, you should call Close in your SystemEvents.SessionEnding event handler, after setting the state variable.
The problem is that canceling the WM_CLOSING notification message (setting CancelEventArgs.Cancel to true in your Form.ClosingEvent) won't affect the WM_QUERYENDSESSION notification message (your SystemEvents.SessionEnding handler). I would recommend implementing the same logic into both handlers:
private void OnSessionEnding(object sender, SessionEndingEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = !CheckPassword();
}The big problem here is that prompting the user takes time (mostly for the user to type their password, unless you're authenticating the password across some wire format or against a slow database; hardcoding it into the assembly is a bad idea since even a tool that comes with the free SDK can read it easily) - more time than Windows is willing to give it when shutting down. The application will appear hung and the user will be prompted to end the task (process) or cancel the shutdown. Inevitably, the user will blame your program.

I think we've still got our wires crossed, a little background might help.
This app is going to be run on PC's in the back offices of our shops around the UK. The staff in the shops are very limited to what they can do on the PC's and most of them don't know the difference between a monitor and a computer so the password being hard coded is safe enough.
The app will run in the system tray while the PC is on but, in certain cases one of our support guys might need to shut the app down manually. So they will restore the app from the system tray, click the cross and enter the password. This is all done without shutting the pc down.
In certain cases, i.e. when the support person in question can't dial into the box to take remote control they may just ask the user to shut down the pc. The way i have the app coded at the minute it prompts for the password when the PC is being shut down, this is what i'm trying to stop. The password is only there to stop the shop user from shutting down the application while they are logged in.
Hope that makes sense

I didn't know they were crossed to begin with. You asked for help and we gave it to you. The suggestions are sound if implemented correctly. What and why you need to do isn't really relevent. As I mentioned about hard-coding passwords, if it's for anything serious it's a bad idea. That implies that if it's not important, then hard-coding it may be fine. It was only a suggestion.
Again, though, what I mentioned before for implementation does work. Shutting down the machine posts WM_QUERYENDSESSION to the application before sending WM_CLOSE or WM_QUIT (it actually doesn't even send WM_CLOSE, IIRC). It wouldn't even make sense to do it any other way. I mean, why give applications a chance to cancel the shutdown if you close the main window (which in most applications terminates the main message pump) first?

FYI:
.NET Framework 2.0 supplies a "FormClosing" event, which sends a "CloseReason" enum which seems to contain exactly what you need.
Alas, it's a beta 
there are no facts, only interpretations

That does indeed sound like exactly what i need, guess i'll have to try Salil's OnEndSession idea.

You could look for the OnSessionEnd Message by over riding WinProc. Then programticly cause the application to close.
Hope this helps....

Thanks for that, seems like a possible solution but....
I've been looking at an example for overriding the WinProc and it seems
easy enough. The message ID is stored in the .Msg property.
Is there somewhere that lists all of the different windows messages and their equivelant .Msg values?
Cheers

hi,
I am executing a select() method agnest a data table. I got result as DataRow[]. Here i got collection of datarow.
My question is how can i create a table from this DataRow[] without executing all unwanted iteration(iterating through individual datarow or something).
Specifically : How can i create a table from a DataRow collection.

Hi
If the result is the type of 'DataRowsCollection' then you can directly assign it to DataTable's Rows property.
If it is a collection of DataRows then you have to iterate one by one

hi,
I think you didn't understood my question. See i don't want to iterate through any row hell. Do you have any other solution for this ?

Hi Sreejith
There is no other way.But we can minimize the work in iteration.
SqlConnection con=new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=YOURSERVER\INSTANCENAME;Initial Catalog=Northwind;UID=sa; PWD=sa;");
con.Open();
SqlDataAdapter adpt=new SqlDataAdapter("select OrderID,CustomerID,EmployeeID from orders",con);
DataTable dt1=new DataTable();
adpt.Fill(dt1);
DataRow[] dr=dt1.Select("customerid='vinet'");
DataTable dt2=new DataTable();
for(int i=0;i<dr.GetLength(0);i++)
{
dt2.ImportRow(dr[i]);
}
int a=dt2.Rows.Count;
------------------------------------
try this.

Right now I am working with DataGrid.CurrentRowIndex
how to do if I have to select multiple rows.
Thank you,

hi,
What is your real requirement ?. We can select more than one record in a datagrid. Select() method is used to select a perticular row. And Unselect() method doing the reverse of Select(). you can check whether a perticular row is selected or not by using IsSelected() method. I recommand you to read the DataGrid Class description in MSDN.;)

Hello Sreejit,
I have used DataGrid_MouseUp() event and then used DataGrid.CurrentRowIndex to get the current row.
private void DataGrid_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
int i = DataGrid.CurrentRowIndex;<br />
}
But how can I get multiple rows index if I have selected multiple rows.
like this>>
private void DataGrid_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
for (int i = 0; i <= DataGrid.CurrentRowIndexes:confused:; i++)<br />
{<br />
int j = DataGrid.CurrentRowIndexes[i];<br />
}<br />
}
======

//For collecting the index of selected records
ArrayList Ar=new ArrayList();
private void DataGrid_MouseUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i <= DataGrid.CurrentRowIndexes; i++)
{
/*this line will help you to deside whether row is selected or not. If yes then it will return a bool value. Else will return a false value.*/
if(DataGrid.IsSelected(i)
Ar.Add(DataGrid.CurrentRowIndexes[i].ToString());
else
continue;
}
}
So finally you will get all index of selected row in your ArrayList.
Remaing is upto you to design based on your requirement.;)

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to detect somehow (from C# app) when the Windows plays some specific .wav file?
What I wanna do is to "subscribe" for that event and do my job when some specific .wav file gets played.
Any ideas?
thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
You're most likely going to be able to do this simply by a mechanism that watches if a file is read, as opposed to played specifically.

How to I paste text to and from clipboard while preserving the formating. Because when I paste from the clipboar, the text that use to be bol is not, etc...
Say from 1 textbox into another. Or from a textbox into a word document.
Thanks
|

I got it to copy, my question is that why it still looses format.
Storing Info:
IDataObject d = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
//d.SetData(DataFormats.Rtf, true, richTextBox1.Text);
// d.SetData(DataFormats.Rtf, richTextBox1.Rtf);
Clipboard.SetText(richTextBox1.Text, TextDataFormat.Rtf);
Retriving info:
foreach (Word.Shape bkMark in aDoc.Shapes)
{
if (bkMark.TextFrame.TextRange.Text.Contains("heading"))
{
// bkMark.TextFrame.TextRange.Paste();
bkMark.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Rtf).ToString();
//Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData(DataFormats.Text).ToString();
//
//
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
bkMark.TextFrame.TextRange.Text contains plain text by definition, if you want formatted text you'll have to use clipboard pasting.
To have control over what will actually get pasted you'll have to specify that you want RTF. IIRC there's a PasteSpecial (or something similar) where you can tell Word what format to paste.
Regards,
mav
