Hi,
I'm a beginer in this language and i hope that there is someone out there who can help me
I want to create a form that has 2 areas. One area is where all the pre-drawn shape is located and the other area allows the shapes to be drag and drop onto it. Any tips what i should do and what kind of classes that i should use?
Thanks

It's a bit complicated, but you have to set properties into two different objects (sender, receiver):
- Allow Drag
- Allow Drop
Basically you want to drag on object (a shape control) into a container that'll accept the object. It's not that simple, but you do need to handle the events that are triggered by the drag/drop event.
There's a lot of articles/projects on this site that go through drag/drop in detail. I'd take a look at some of that code and adapt it to what you're trying to do. Good luck!

Hi,
Currently I am working on a multilingual application.
1. I willing provide a Button on UI which will toggle IME mode, say from English to Japanese. How can do that ?
2. How can I detect if systems IME mode is changed by user ?
3. As well as above I want to transliterate the inputed text to english. Can I do it ?
Regards
Prasad

Erhm, there are several ways to 'translate' your application. I'm also currently working on a project which must be able to support multiple languages. I choose to create a new set of controls to support multiple languages. Therefore created an interface containing translation methods, and make all controls (for example buttons and labels) member of this interface. Then as soon as the user changes the interface language, set the CultureInfo object to the new language, and call the translate method on every control member of the interface 
However, VS.NET contains full support for multi-language apps (using resources) you should consider some options, and find 'the best solution' for you

Thanx Allot Eduard,
I am developing framework for mentioned project now, and I have done with the display part using resource files (i.e. to display label and button text dynamically from resource files). That works fine, problem is with data entry controls like TextBoxes, where IME comes into picture. I wanted to know how can I change IME mode (say from English to Japanese or any Asian language) programatically ?
Awaiting ur reply.

All text in the UI is set using the control.Text property on each control. To change the text change that value.
Heres a search for how to use satallite assemblies to achive this.

Not sure. You might be able to find out more about this whilst researching localisation.

It's possible theres some software out there that will do it badly. If you want decent results you'd have to get a human to do it.
Heres some computer translated text. I've no idea if it's mangled or not since I don't read japanese but it should give you an idea of the quality.
English:
This is an example of some computer translated text. It's probably not very good.
Japanese:
これはコンピュータによって翻訳されるテキストの例である。それは非常によくないおそらく。

Hi originSH,
It seems that u didn't got me correctly. U have told me about Text property of control, but I was talking about setting IME mode. U have told me about translation but I was asking about Transliteration.
Anyways thanx for ur efforts.

i want to know how can i write combobox items in a file
here is coding which i wrote but its giving error
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(".\\ABCD.B");
for (int a = 0; a < am.Items.Count; a++)
{
sw.WriteLine(am.Items(a));
}
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();
where "am" is combobox
the error is
'System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.Items' is a 'property' but is used like a 'method'
|
|
|
|
|
Hello,
Use "Items[a]".

You should really name it different, than you wouldn't have to explain it!
All the best,
Martin

And the first which came in your mind was "am"?
 
Don't care too much!

am.Items[a] to be more safe am.Items[a].ToString()

Hello,

I'm not working with the StreamWriter to often so I'm currious.
What does it make more safe to pass the object as string?
All the best,
Martin

Yeah... I think the ToString() method is implicitly called.

After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.

Hi
Is there any easy way to draw Digital Signal by using pixel level drawing in C#?
|
|
|
|
|
have you considered looking at WPF in .NET 3.0 for this ? I am assuming by digital signal you are implying something like a Sine or Cosine wave?
|
|
|
|
|
You probably mean Digital Signature? Just look at the system.drawing namespace.
Input would just need to associate the device (whatever it is) to defined events in your objects.

Hi all,
What is more efficient/better coding practice:
1. Copying objects using the new keyword and a copy constructor
2. Using a Copy member routine which essentially does the same thing as the copy constructor (except we don't actually allocate memory for it using the new keyword).
My gut tells me that (1) is most likely to be more inefficient (since memory has to be allocated and the 'old' value of the object has to be deallocated) but I'd like to confirm this.
cheers!

You mean a deep copy? i.e. all contained objects wether they are value types or reference tpyes are copied? Or a shallow copy where the references to reference types are just copied rather than the values?

You mean a static method that does the copy by passing by value?
I'm not very clear about what your suggesting here. If you give some more details I'll be happy to help

Hi,
if you have one instance of a class, and you suddenly need a second instance that initially
has the same value, you can go either way:
- instantiate the class with what you call a "copy constructor", i.e. a regular constructor
that takes its own type as an input argument and copies values from it (shallow copy);
- or create an instance method that creates a "clone" (=again a shallow copy), by first
instantiating a new instance, then copying values into it. Several CLI classes offer
such a Clone method, e.g. Array and ArrayList
I havent encountered a Copy method yet, one that takes two objects and copies values
from one into the other (DirectX has some Copy methods, but IMO they should have been called
Clone instead).
The cost for both approaches would be the same; they both create a new object and
initialize it. Nowhere in this an object gets deallocated.
Hope this helps.
