I am want to embed another window application inside my windows form, is these even possible to do?
example, main form, inside of that i would like to open a few sessions of notepad inside my app's form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
and add notepad.exe to my project?
|
|
|
|
|
Sytem.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Notepad.exe") will run notepad.
I don't know that notepad exposes a RCW or Win32 API such that it can be embedded in WinForms.
To open a text editor as a child window within an MDI application you may consider implementing the text editor.
Sorry I misunderstood you.

Starting NotePad sessions from your app is easy (see Process.Start() [^]. Running NotePad sessions "within" your app's main form is hard, if not impossible.

Did you take a look at AnAppaDay[^]? That link points to a download (with source) in which the author has written an app that hosts other applications inside it.

Basically, you start Notepad as a seperate process. Then you have to call into the Win32 API FindWindow, IIRC, to get the handle to the Notepad window, then call SetParent to make the Notepad window a child of your app's window.

That sounds marvelous, but does it really work, the SetParent documentation states
"The new parent window and the child window must belong to the same application."

Yep. Try this. Create a new Windows Forms app and drop a button and a panel on it. Expand the panel to take up most of your form and anchor it on all four sides. Then drop this code in:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Diagnostics;
.
.
.
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="SetParent", SetLastError=true)]
private static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hwndChild, IntPtr hwndParent);
.
.
.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Process p = Process.Start("Notepad.exe");
p.WaitForInputIdle();
SetParent(p.MainWindowHandle, Panel1.Handle);
}

I am a little new to building WIndows Services and was curious if i could just create a single project named company.windowservice and deploy create multiple services in here? If so when installing the service would all services created within this single dll have to be installed as well? Any ideas? Thanks...

I'm trying to communicate with a piece of test equipment on our LAN, and I thought TcpClient would be a quick and easy to do this... I'm using VS2005, and here's what's happening...
I establish a connection to the server (the test equipment), create a stream, and write data to the server. I get the response back, and I'm happy. Then I try to send another message without closing the connection or the stream, and the write occurs, but the read freezes.
If I close the stream and connection to the server, and then build them up again, everything works fine. It just seams like a very inefficient way to do it!
I must have a basic misunderstanding of either TcpClient or the stream GetStream returns...
Any idea what going on?

Can't be sure because you provided no information about the protocol you are working with.

Hey all,
I have a C# program that opens a word document for editing.
I need to have it open, then locate a particular line and column in the word doc, then print a text value in the spot located.
Does anyone know how I should go about this?
Thank you!
Dave

sorry if I was vague. I just need to know if there is a snippet of code out there that I could use to find a coordinate in a word document.
|
|
|
|
|
Can you give us more information as to what information you have that define what will be selected?

Well the location is (line,column) so that is very confusing.
dspyank wrote: then print a text value in the spot located
What does that mean? Insert text at that location? If so you need to go look at the Word Object Model documentation.

Mike,

locate a point ( Line 4 Column 65 )
Then have my program write to that point.
I will check out the documentation.
Sorry I was so confusing, but thanks for your help!

hello
i'm using the visible poperty to hide the panel but it doesn't hide the controls on the panel.
is there any other way other than through the visible property.

They hide that information in the documentation[^]
but the property should work for all the child controls of the panel. If it doesn't then you must not have the other controls as children of the panel.

plz guide me on making child control on a panel.
i simply add controls by draging them from the toolbar onto the panel
