Where do you get such nonsense? In WinForms every Control has the same three keyboard events.
Thanks for this info. I was keeping the textbox in a WPF window. When I kept the TextBox in Form Window, the event is available. I never expected that the same control will expose different sets of events based on its container.

edit ... now that you've mentioned you are using WPF ... suggest you re-post in the WPF/SilverLight forum ... and repost with a much more carefully written statement of what you are trying to do ... WPF does indeed expose some different events for a TextBox: take a look at TextBox_PreviewTextInput. ... end edit ...
Assuming you are using WinForms: may I suggest you start by design-time setting an Event Handler for the KeyDown Event in a TextBox via the Properties/Events Manager, and then studying carefully the properties exposed by the 'KeyEventArgs e' parameter in that event handler.
Focus on "e.Shift."
And, then, think about what you have to do to preserve the information that you have received one ... or more ... key-presses with the Shift key down, and act upon it if the next key-press is lower-case.
Note the assumption, implicit here, that just handling whether the 'Shift' key is/was down will be enough to get you a solution to what you have described. Always good to question assumptions !

It doesn't solve the problem that you're explaining deeper in the thread, it merely answers the question.
Which emphasizes the need to ask a clear question, explaining what it is that you're trying to achieve. That's a bit different from how to perform a particular task.

+5 A great answer to the original question as asked ! Now that the OP has finally revealed he's now using WPF, I've suggested he re-locate his question to that forum: I think the WPF TextBox_PreviewTextInput Event will give him everything he needs (that's only a guess; I don't work with WPF).

There are actually two events that you need to hook into, and only one of them relates to previewing text input. The other event handler you need to add in takes care of the clipboard - people often forget that you need to handle the case when the user copies in values. If I were writing this code, I would create an Attached Behavior and handle the events in there, so setting up the actual class would look like this:
public class SpecialTextboxCasing : Behavior<TextBox>
{
protected override void OnAttached()
{
base.OnAttached();
AssociatedObject.PreviewTextInput += AssociatedObject_PreviewTextInput;
DataObject.AddPastingHandler(AssociatedObject, OnClipboardPaste);
}
protected override void OnDetaching()
{
base.OnDetaching();
AssociatedObject.PreviewTextInput -= AssociatedObject_PreviewTextInput;
DataObject.RemovePastingHandler(AssociatedObject, OnClipboardPaste);
}
private void OnClipboardPaste(object sender, DataObjectPastingEventArgs dopea)
{
}
void AssociatedObject_PreviewTextInput(object sender, TextCompositionEventArgs e)
{
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar.ToString() == e.KeyChar.ToString().ToUpper())
{
MessageBox.Show("Only Small Letters are Permitted");
e.Handled = true;
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
And what does your code do if I paste upper case characters into the textbox?
|
|
|
|
|
it not allow to paste
or u can use this code
e.KeyChar = e.KeyChar.ToString().ToLower().ToCharArray()[0];
|
|
|
|
|
Actually, you can't use that code - that's not how you receive text from the clipboard. When you cope with pasting, you have to deal with the possibility that the user is posting in a large amount of text. This is just a friendly hint - try to think of all the ways the user can interact, not just the way that you think is easy.
|
|
|
|
|
Try checking that with char.IsLower function.
|
|
|
|
|
Again, what would you do with pasted text? Please try to be more complete with your answer.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok,
Right to be more specific in textchanged event, check every letter of textbox (using .text property) if its uppercase with char.IsLower and then when you have full string handle code as you want.
|
|
|
|
|
You might want to post this reply to the OP rather than to me. I already know how to do it, and he won't get notified via email that there's a new answer if it's not against his account.
|
|
|
|
|
You may also want to consider handling the TextChanged[^] event and using Regex to fix up the current text. Since the event fires when the control's Text property is changed both as a result of user interaction as well as programatically, you'll need a flag to ignore the event when it fires as a result of a fixup.
Edit: I just realized you're using WPF. In that case, see this[^] event.

In short, I need help on how to add a new section such as:
<section name="Group3" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
along with
<Group3>
keys go here
</Group3>
To a config file laid out like:
="1.0"="utf-8"
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="Groups" >
<section name="Group1" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
<section name="Group2" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
</sectionGroup>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<Groups>
<Group1>
<add key="System 1" value="192.168.0.3" />
</Group1>
<Group2>
<add key="System 2" value="192.168.0.1" />
<add key="System 3" value="192.168.0.2" />
</Group2>
</Groups>
<userSettings>
<setting name="LastGroup" serializeAs="String">
<value>Group1</value>
</setting>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
I have been trying to do this for nearly a day, trying every method I could find to do so, but I was unsuccessful so I decided its time to ask for help. I even went as far as fully implementing this code[^] into my program and I still could not get it to work properly (it added a section, but it added the key and value to the <group3> block, not to an <add> block and I was unsure as to how to fix it.
Trying my best to understand all I can about the Mysteries of configuration[^]....but it seems to do a lot more than I need it to do (it goes into detail about adding custom sections, which I don't really need, keys and value is all I need in a section).

Have you tried:
="1.0"="utf-8"
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="Groups" >
<section name="Group1" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
<section name="Group2" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
<section name="Group3" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
</sectionGroup>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<Groups>
<Group1>
<add key="System 1" value="192.168.0.3" />
</Group1>
<Group2>
<add key="System 2" value="192.168.0.1" />
<add key="System 3" value="192.168.0.2" />
</Group2>
<Group3>
<add key="key1" value="value1" />
<add key="key2" value="value2" />
</Group3>
</Groups>
<userSettings>
<setting name="LastGroup" serializeAs="String">
<value>Group1</value>
</setting>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
where the new entries are in bold?

Sorry that I wasn't clear enough, I need to be able to add the new group and keys via the program itself.
I basically want to create a piece of software that can modify its own .config file based on use input....I would simply use the user settings to do so, but I want to make it an administrative-like software, that changes settings for all users.
So I need some sort of code that can do basically what you did above automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
I'd roll my own rather than try to use Microsoft's idea of a config file. But that's just me.
|
|
|
|
|
If I knew a good way to write my own (guess it wouldn't be too hard, but I don't know C# as well as many people on this forum probably do) I would, but until then, I'm stuck with what is offered to me that I can learn some from.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, well then... here's an article I wrote that might be of some interest:
XmlNode[^]
I tend to write config files that are shared between users and applications -- like a list of the databases that are available on a system.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks, I haven't read through it yet, just glanced over it and it seems like a lot to learn and take in but I can definitely see the benefits. I should be able to basically rework my config to something along the lines of:
<GroupManager>
<Groups>
<Group GroupName="Group 1">
<System Name="System 1">192.168.0.1</System>
</Group>
<Group GroupName="Group 2">
<System Name="System 2">192.168.0.2</System>
</Group>
</Groups>
</GroupManager>
With what you show in that link, and then more easily be able to manage the XML rather than being restricted to Microsofts config functions, right?
|
|
|
|
|
Sure, it's just XML, you can do pretty much what you want.

I have just come to C# after many years of C/C++ and am a bit surprised at the relatively slow speed of C# execution. The following is very simple test piece of code (completely useless) implemented in C# and C. Both tested on the same PC running Windows 7 Professional 64bit
The C# returns between 30 and 45 ms and the C/C++ a stable 4.2 ms.
Is there anything I can do with my C# code to speed it up?
C# Visual Studio 2010 Release Build Optimize On x86
Stopwatch time = new Stopwatch();
int size = 10000000;
byte[] data = new byte[size];
unsafe
{
fixed (byte* ptr = data)
{
time.Restart();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
ptr[i] = 128;
time.Stop();
}
}
var elapsed = 1000.0 * time.ElapsedTicks / Stopwatch.Frequency;
Console.WriteLine("unsafe time " + elapsed.ToString() +" ms");
C++ Visual Studio 2008 Release Build x86
int size = 10000000;
unsigned char* pData = new unsigned char[size];
QueryPerformanceCounter(&start);
for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
pData[i] = 128;
QueryPerformanceCounter(&finish);
time = float(finish.QuadPart - start.QuadPart);
time /= Frequency.QuadPart;
char msg[300];
sprintf(msg,"time %f\n",time*1000.0f);
OutputDebugString(msg);
delete pData;
I know I could make both faster with threading but question is really about the execution speed.
Finally after all the postings...
Thanks everyone for their comments suggestions C# is good for a large number of tasks and C/C++ is more appropriate for a different set of tasks.

First of do not use unsafe
1) There is a performance impact, unless you're playing around with P/Invoke or COM interop, even then it's not worth it, in my opinion.
2) I've never seen an example of something that couldn't be done in safe code.
You can write examples where C# or even Java has a better execution time than it would in C++. I really don't wanna get into a C++ vs. Managed language war here. have a look at this discussion C++ performance vs. Java/C#
Also I suggest you forget about a performance issue untill you actually have a performance issue.
