Anyone know how to get the text on a button appear to light up? Or have an idea on how to create the effect?
Thanks...

could change the font color, or custom draw the button and add like a outline around the text (ie. draw the text twice but a larger size behind)

Kinda what I was thinking about too...
I'm drawing the buttons. So I 'think' what I'm going to need to do is draw the text using a brush that highlights? Matrix?? Haven't done it before so maybe I'll have something to do an article on!!
Thanks!

Just use the mouse hover and mouse click events and change the background and foreground color of the button as you wish.

listen, is it a flashing color text?
i don´t really recall know how to code that but, try to add a timer object, set interval propriety for 1 second. After add a timer_tick event, there you change the color of the forecolor or backcolor.
You can query for if textbox forecolor is red then textbox forecolor to blue or if textbox forecolor is blue then textbox forecolor to red.
There you go, you have the color changed each 1 second. Check windows genereted code to set colors.
(i didn´t post code, i dont have c# turn on, but is very simply d´ont worry you will manage it easy)

Why? The original post has nothing to do with toggling back and forth between two colors in a given interval.

I asked: "is it a flashing color text?"
Is it a mouse_hover event what he is talking about? ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

No, they are actually rubber looking buttons. We'd like the text on them to appear as if it glows. As if there were a light behind the button. It's not a web app with the mouse over stuff.
Thanks!

You should be able to do so with a custom control inherited from the Button class and have the MouseHover event handle it.

There are a few photoshop tutorials online that demonstrate the functionality. You would just need to take said images and create a custom control.

If you're using WPF, you can use the GlowBitmapEffect.

Light up but not flash. Glow is a better term, sort of like the button is lit up from the back.
Thanks!

I have this line:
string sAuthor = (string)oDataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Author"];
On some rows the Author is null, so I get a cast error. I'm not sure what to do about this. Can someone help.

Take a look at the DataRow.IsNull method. That might do what you want.

simply use
try
{...}
catch
{sAuthor = null}
you are processing nulls so should be ok

This answer gave me another idea... I believe that the prefered way of dealing with casts in c# is to use:
string sAuthor = oDataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Author"] as string;
This sets sAuthor to null when it can't be converted to a string, and shouldn't (hopefully) cause an exception.

I understand your code here,
in datagridview when i am processing null values i use ...=dbnull.value, like you used tablerow.isnull (never used that before d´ont know here) for a table, but like he is not sending data do a database or whatever table, he has to do string X = null, because he is setting a string not a Dgv or a table, string X = dbnull.value or string X = tablerow.isnull wouldn´t work.
You just forgot that or not noticed, its simply i know you know that, i make errors in really simply things all the time, makes me mad

I have the dataset bound to textboxes on the form:
txtTitle.DataBindings.Add("Text", oDataSet, "ItemRow.Title");
txtCategory.DataBindings.Add("Text", oDataSet, "ItemRow.Category");
txtAuthor.DataBindings.Add("Text", oDataSet, "ItemRow.Author");
txtCatNo.DataBindings.Add("Text", oDataSet, "ItemRow.Catalogue_No");
txtIsbn.DataBindings.Add("Text", oDataSet, "ItemRow.Isbn");
txtPublisher.DataBindings.Add("Text", oDataSet, "ItemRow.Publisher");
In SaveChanges I then pass the oDataSet variable to this code in my Data Access class:
public bool UpdateDataSet(DataSet oDataSet, string sTableName)
{
bool bRetVal = true;
try
{
DataRow oRow = oDataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0];
DataRowState state = oRow.RowState; \\state = Unchanged
oAdapter.Update(oDataSet, sTableName);
}
catch(SqlException e)
{
oException = e;
bRetVal = false;
}
return bRetVal;
}
The DataAdapater is stored as oAdapter on the data access class. When I run this, it doesn't error, but it also doesn't save. Notice that the RowState is unchanged at this point.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here.

The insert and update commands need to be defined as well as verifying that the row state allows for an update. Personally, I do not use the Dataset for updates as it makes such a simple thing complicated.

Isn't that the purpose of the SqlCommandBuilder?
I have:
public DataSet ExecuteQuery(string sCommand, string sTableName)
{
bool bError = false;
DataSet oDataSet = new DataSet();
DataSet oRetVal = null;
SqlConnection oConn = GetConnection(false);
oAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(sCommand, oConn);
SqlCommandBuilder oBuilder = new SqlCommandBuilder(oAdapter);
try
{
oAdapter.Fill(oDataSet, sTableName);
}
catch(SqlException e)
{
oException = e;
bError = true;
}
if(! bError)
{
oRetVal = oDataSet;
}
return oRetVal;
}

hi
do you have any example that to report(crystalreport) from proc(sql server 2005)?
thanks a lot
|
|
|
|

Yes, I have plenty. However, an example is not necessary. In the report creation wizard you can select ADO.NET as the report source, and then select a stored procedure from the list that appears. (If memory is failing me you may have to select ODBC source and not ADO.NET since I think ADO.NET is for datasets only)
