Changing value of all TextBoxes - C# Discussion Boards

BTW, the prefix to access the file is actually the default namespace for the project. If you blank out your default namespace, you will then access the icon by just "Icons".

Compile error, help!

22-Feb-02 16:55

s = new Socket(
AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
SocketType.Dgram,
ProtocolType.Udp );

s.Bind(localEndPoint);

s.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Udp, SocketOptionName.ReceiveTimeout,1000);

This code produces a runtime error:

An unknown, invalid, or unsupported option or level was specified in a getsockop
t or setsockopt call

Any help anyone ? I just want to set a timeout on recive of a UDP packet.

I believe it is because UDP doesn't support Timeouts, or so this thread on the Advanced DOTNET list seems to suggest.

Yes just when you thought I couldn't push the DOTNET mailing list anymore they make a new one! Laugh | :laugh:

Hope that thread gives you some ideas,

You are right, UDP is "connectionless", and because of that you can't set a timeout.

When you send UDP packets, you just send them, but you never know if the reciever get the packets or not...

Thanks, James, for the link to those two DotNet mailing lists. I'm already signed up! Big Grin | :-D

Hi All,

Simple question here (I Hope)

I need to reset all my textboxes back to blank and am trying to do it in a nice clean loop.

I have the following but it does not work

foreach (TextBox t in this)
{
	t.Text = "";
}

I am getting the error message

C:\Documents and Settings\gavin\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\LTBRMaintenance\EditClinic.cs(487): foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'LTBRMaintenance.EditClinic' because 'LTBRMaintenance.EditClinic' does not contain a definition for 'GetEnumerator', or it is inaccessible

I have a feeling I am nearly there but am missing something obvious..

Thanks

I think that this is just an object and doesn't natively expose a GetEnumerator method. Try this:

foreach(Control c in this.Controls)
{

if(c.GetType().ToString()=="System.Windows.Forms.TextBox")
c.Text="new vlaue";

}

Cheers,
Simon

You could also use; if( c is System.Windows.Forms.TextBox ) this lets the value change for controls derived from TextBox too Smile | :)

That's a better way. Probably more robust too (if MS changes the text of class names).

How do you create an object from a C++ DLL in C#

21-Feb-02 14:05

Hi,

I have a c++ DLL it contains a class called MyClass with methods GetName and SetName.

[DllImport("MyClass.dll")]
public static extern void GetName( string name);

This doesn't work because I need to instanciate the class.

How do I declare the class and methods within the class?

Then how do I instancial the class and call the method?

Thanks

Mike

No way to do this from C#. Either use MC++, or wrap your class into a COM object and the reference it from your code.

Playing sounds through c#

Profox Jase21-Feb-02 4:57

21-Feb-02 4:57

Hello helpers.

So far, my asteroids game is coming along nicely, and I am learning lots. Now has come the time to get c# to play some sounds - by searching around I have found this:

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
public static extern long PlaySound(String lpszName, long hModule, long dwFlags);

This does is fact work, however, the keener amongst you will realise that code execution stops until this function returns a value. Of course, in my game, I don't want the game to freeze everytime I call this function, so, is there
a) another method for playing a sound file (I used a com object in Foxpro) and if so, can somebody tell me how to do it in C#
b) a way to call PlaySound without waiting for a return value?

Many thanks you gorgeous hamsters

Use ASYNC flag that has a value 0x0001.

You can use enum to include other flags:

public enum PlaySoundFlag
{
// Play synchronously (default)
Synchronously = 0x0000,

// Play asynchronously
Asynchronously = 0x0001,

// Silence (!default) if sound not found
NoDefault = 0x0002,

// pszSound points to a memory file
Memory = 0x0004,

// Loop the sound until next sndPlaySound
Loop = 0x0008,

// Don't stop any currently playing sound
NoStop = 0x0010,

// Don't wait if the driver is busy
NoWait = 0x00002000,

// Name is a registry alias
Alias = 0x00010000,

// Alias is a predefined ID
AliasId = 0x00110000,

// Name is file name
Filename = 0x00020000,

// name is resource name or atom
Resource = 0x00040004,

// Purge non-static events for task
Purge = 0x0040,

// Look for application specific association
Application = 0x0080
}

Example:
PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\Windows XP Startup.wav",0,PlaySoundFlag.Filename|PlaySoundFlag.Asynchronously);

Should work

Or you could use an Asynchronous method call or make your synchronous call on a different thread.

Thanks for the advice. I will try to figure out how to make an asynchronous call - I assume this would be different to the flags that Jerzy is talking about?

Thanks though, will look into it.

Asynchronous calls in .NET use delegates. There are methods on a delegate called BeginInvoke and EndInvoke. I personally have not used async calls yet, but plan to do so soon. Smile | :)

AFAIK .NET async calls use a threadpool behind the scenes.

Hey Jerzy,

I tried this, but for some reason, none of the flags I pass in seem to make any difference. The sound does play though. Also, for some reason, when I use the enums as per your example, the code won't compile. I have tried subsituting the enums in the example for their values, but still things don't go according to my expectation (ie, makes no difference).

Does this declaration look right for c# to you?

public static extern long PlaySound(String lpszName, long hModule, long dwFlags);

As far as I understand it, my alternatives are:

1. no sound at all
2. use a com object as per my original fox pro code
3. for every sound played, create a new thread, play the sound, kill the thread
4. do some asynch calls with beginInvoke and delegates and stuff.

Don't want to do 1., 2. seems a good thing to learn in c#, in fact as does 3 and 4.

4 however I will have to leave until I have learnt a whole lot more or until someone explains the whole delegate thing to me.

If you have any more suggestions along the lines of your original, or anything else for that matter, would love to hear 'em.

I tested this code and it's working:

....

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
public enum PlaySoundFlag
{
Synchronously = 0x0000,
Asynchronously = 0x0001,
NoDefault = 0x0002,
Memory = 0x0004,
Loop = 0x0008,
NoStop = 0x0010,
NoWait = 0x00002000,
Alias = 0x00010000,
AliasId = 0x00110000,
Filename = 0x00020000,
Resource = 0x00040004,
Purge = 0x0040,
Application = 0x0080
}

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
public static extern int PlaySound(String pszSound, int hmod,PlaySoundFlag fdwSound);

public Form1()
{
....
....
....

PlayTest();

....
....
....
}

void PlayTest()
{
PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\Windows XP Startup.wav", 0,
PlaySoundFlag.Filename|PlaySoundFlag.Asynchronously);
}

Your problem is the long type. In C# this is a 64 bit int. You should use int instead.
