Hey all,

You know when you connect a new piece of hardware to a XP computer you get a little bubble/balloon informing you that your "new hardware is installed and ready for use"? Can some one point me in the direction of manipulating that for my own C# app?

So who/what keeps you from shouting out loud that 2+2=5 in the UK? Go ahead. See what happens.

Don't you think this book is called 1984 by George Orwell, or do you mean a different one?

1. The book's name IS 1984. I've read it.
2. How can you not remember the name of your favorite book?
3. The quote actually is:
"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows."

You have completely misunderstood the whole thing. Take a look:

2 - I don't know.

3 - Did you actually look it up to get back at me? Man go out, get laid.

And in answer to your PS, WEED!

PS: Don't whack-off too much you might lose your sight, then you won't be able to use Wikipedia any more and I know that will suck for you, but don't worry cause even after you've gone blind you'll still be able to jack-it, unfortunately it does mean that you won't be able to prove people wrong who can't remember every line out of every book that they read.

PPS: If you have nothing better to do than ask stupid questions then stop wasting my time. Besides you could be whacking off.

* If you'd like to pick out any spelling and/or grammar errors that I might have made that would be great, although it would prove that you are a pedantic, anal retentive poignant fool (use Wikipedia if you don't understand any of the words).

Adding Shortcut keys at runtime

Muntyness24-May-07 1:04

24-May-07 1:04

I have a program that uses an XML file to set up the programs configuration.

What I want to do is use the XML file to set up shortcut keys so that they run specific events on specific user controls. (e.g. bind Return to a user control and bind F7 to a different user control)

Just to note, but registering the keys as Hotkeys doesn't work, as I only want the shortcut keys to work while the program has focus. (And registering the keys as hotkeys is a bad thing. I want to bind Return to a control, but if I register it as a HotKey, then return does not work in other programs for as long as my one is open.)

Hi,

Now, I need to rename the application after build process.

Now, the project name is set to MY.PROJECT.UI because it's major on the UI feature.
But, I need to change the application name to MyProject.exe

How can I do?
Do you have any suggestion?

Project properties allows you to specify the assembly name.

Socket.Receive method. It blocks the UI

Hello. I'm using the socket class in an application and I use socket.receive
to wait for data. The problem is that the interface gets locked while the
receive method is executing.

I want to see the interface so the user knows what's happening at any time.

Is that possible?

Regards,

Diego F.

I found a problem with that. Now, I can't access the UI controls, as they are in other thread. I get an execution exception.

How can I solve that?

You can use the Invoke method on the control or form to run the method you are calling on the correct thread.

You might be getting the cross-thread exception.
try this

<br />
// UI class functions<br />
public void UpdateMenus()<br />
{<br />
     if (this.InvokeRequired)<br />
     {<br />
           this.Invoke(new UpdateMenusDelegate(UpdateMenus), new object[] { sender, e });<br />
           return;<br />
     }<br />
       // continue with your code<br />
}<br />

Youc can also use BeginReceive and EndReceive to achieve the same. This moves the thread handling to the Socket class. If you are doing lots of operations then you might want to do the thread handling yourself.

Hello Guys,,

I need to send a int pointer to the C dll . The c coding is as follows

extern __declspec (dllexport) void __stdcall TestIntPointer (int *uiPosition) {

char cMessage[100] = {0};

*uiPosition = 55;
*(uiPosition+1) = 80;
*(uiPosition+2) = 100;

wsprintf (cMessage, "Integer Value Received is :%d:", *uiPosition);
MessageBox (NULL, cMessage, "Hello Sweet Heart", 0);
}

My DLLImport statement is looks like this

[DllImport("TestDLLInvocation.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
private static extern void TestIntPointer(IntPtr s);

Now i need to access all the three int values 55, 80, 100 in my C# coding

How can i do this.. Please help..
Thanks in Adv

You can actually manipulate pointers in C#, in an unsafe block.
