Re: Hide row in Tablelayoutpanel in c# [modified]

Use SizeType.Absolute with a value of 0F (for the RowStyle) to hide a particular row. For example, if you had 3 rows and wanted to alternately hide and show the middle row, you could use the following:

// Hide middle row.
this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles[ 0 ] = new RowStyle( SizeType.Percent, 50f );
this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles[ 1 ] = new RowStyle( SizeType.Absolute, 0F );
this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles[ 2 ] = new RowStyle( SizeType.Percent, 50F );

// Show middle row.
this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles[ 0 ] = new RowStyle( SizeType.Percent, 20f );
this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles[ 1 ] = new RowStyle( SizeType.Percent, 20F );
this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles[ 2 ] = new RowStyle( SizeType.Percent, 20F );

(Note that the "Percent" styles don't actually need to add to 100. The individual values are relative to the "total" of all the percents, so each row in the end winds up using 1/3 of the panel).

(Also, you should group the controls on the "hidden row" in some way so you can collectively disable them so they don't get focus when hidden via tabbing).

Language of ColorDialog(ColorEditor) and FontDialog in PropertyGrid [modified]

Hello

When I have a look at the Color and the Font property I use in my designer, the language in the two editors is a different one.

The FontDialog is displayed in German (i assume because of the operating system's language).
But the ColorDialog is displayed in English.

How can I change the ColorDialog's language to German as well?

I have searched here for articles about ColorEditors and found this one:
ColorEditorEx - An extension to the ColorEditor to support translucent colors[^]

On the screenshot the language is German, but when I open the application, its english again (the tabs).

I hope someone can tell me how it is possible to change the language of the ColorEditor to german

Windows language = german
Visual Studio = english (maybe thats the reason?)

Thanks for your help in advance

SSHA how to encode a string in C#.

Hello to all.
I have a problem, I need to encode a password string in SSHA(this uses SHA1 in some way). I don't know how to do this. I didn't find any article on the net about that.

I need to do this because I'retrieving UserDetails from OpenSSO server, and the password retrieved is in SSHA encoded, and I need to compare with the given one password that's the input for my method, but to do that I need to encode this using SSHA.

Some ideas?

Thanks in advance.

SSHA is the default encoding in openLDAP - I havnt seen many/?any stand-alone implementations of SSHA, so, you could download openLDAP, pull the code you need out of that !

ps .. its also used by the htpasswd function in Apache, so you could d/load that as an alternative to openLDAP

There are many free articles introducing WPF on the net, including here on CodeProject; go to the articles page and look for the headings. I have not tried WCF yet but I suspect the same holds true for that.

There's a reason they aren't free. The authors have to eat, so it's not fair to expect them to spend months writing books on complex topics, and then expect them to give them away.

If you don't want to buy a book, then read through the WPF docs on MSDN, and read through the articles by Josh Smith, Sacha Barber and Karl Shifflett here on CP.

DExplore issue

Do other people run across this Visual studio Help issue(I'm using vs2008 pro all service packs) and when I accidentally hit F1 or cause anything that resembled asking for help, the DExplore.exe opens up and runs "Help Update in Progress" for the rest of the day. VStudio is frozen and you cannot kill the dexplore thread without killing vstudio too.
I've tried setting help options to Not allow offline search, to no avail. I've trid opening up dexplore on its own, but even then F1 will trigger a new dexplore. I've tried removing F1 from the keyboard macros

Anyone else experiencing this. It happens to me on different computers as well.

Well you should post it in the DB forum/section.

Anyway here's one way how you could do it(the query):

OleDbCommnand cmd =  new OledbCommand(con);

//create a Select for example
cmd.CommandText = "CREATE PROC nameOfQueryHere(inName VARCHAR(50))
AS SELECT * FROM tblNameHere
WHERE tblNameHere.Name = inName";

//and create the query/proc by executing the command

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Of course try catch and all that is up to you. I just posted an ideea.

[EDIT]The same technique for creating a table.
Use a command string in witch you create the table and execute it[/EDIT]

Trapping arrow keys in form

Hi!

I've read arrow kay can only be intercepted by using KeyUp event. KeyPress only works with characters, and KeyDown allows Control Keys, too, but not arrow keys.

I have tried, and KeyUp works well... but only if i have no other controls in the form! If I have any control enabled and focussed, I can't trap KeyUp Form evnent... I suppose the focussed control traps it.

I have Visual Studio 2003, so I only can use .NET Framework 1 available (or so I have been told). I'm proggramming a simple form that allow me to brouse data fron a database, and I don't have access to this nice BindingNavigator control. So, I have created the form, binded controls, and created the First, Last, Prev, Next buttons to manage my CurrencyManager. It works fine, but I want to be able to browse just using my arrow keys. I think that trap arrow keys ON EVERY active controls in my form is a very poor solution...

Any help, please? Smile | :)
