Re: Hi all - C# Discussion Boards

your panel are in horizontal layout or verticle, what ever be change the logic accordingly

set two properties Location and size

First
location Point (0,0)
size(form.width,form.height/2)

second
location Point (0,form.height/2)
size(form.width,form.height/2)

That's it. (According to my perception)

Be happy

first of all sorry i was away from my system...

it is not just a pannel on the form i am having grid and some button also...

the pannels are just below the grid and above to buttons ... i was trying to dock the pannel but no luck coz it is neither top nor bottom or verticle ..

thank you very much for ur help ... i am sorry i didnt clear all these points earlier ...

vikas da

panel3.Visible = false;
this.Size = new Size(this.Height - panel3.Height , this.Width);

i am assuming all three panel are in vertically arranged and panel 3 is the last panel.

or

to make the load of the form as per available controls you can write the resize event of the form.

Thank you very much for ur reply ... all pannels are horigental let me try with this solution ..

i will do like

panel3.Visible = false;
this.Size = new Size(this.Height , this.Width- panel3.Width);

Hi,

Instead of hiding and resizing the other panel use INHERITED FORM. This approach is better because it uses OOP when designing Windows forms. This concept is similar with MASTER PAGE of ASP.NET.

Regards,

can you please explain me bit more...

from where i should inherit and what functionality(property) should be there so the resizing part can be done easily ...

so in above if i am saying panel1.hide so panel2 and panel3 should be on the place of panel1 and panel2 respectively

i want to solve this one .. please help me ...

vikas da

Hi,

What is the reason why you want to place those panels in one form and not creating 3 different forms? Is it you want to reuse the method, function and properties of form you've created and you don't want to repeat this codes in other form plus they have the same look and feel with some slight differences in Pane1, Panel 2 and Panel3. If your answer is YES you should go to inherited form.

NOTE: Methods and Properties of Parent Form are visible to inherited Form (Only Public and Protected access modifiers).

The result of this approach is you have 4 Forms but you never repeated any codes that already created in Parent Form and you have more manageable codes.

To create inherited form you should go to usual process of adding new forms in the project but now you will select the object Inherited form then follow the wizard Wink | ;-)

No need for resizing, treat inherited forms as a new form with extra codes and design.

Hi

I want to develop a viso link line control. That can be attach with any shape and it has some mid points from them we can adjust its path.

Any idea, code sample or relavent article is welcomed.

Thanks

Syed Shahid Hussain

You mean a control that works like Visio and creates such diagrams ? You'd probably create a family of controls and write code that draws them all using a base class, I would think.

yes I've the idea but where to start.

Syed Shahid Hussain

Create a base class Shape that contains width,height,x, and y. Inherit your shapes from the base class and each shape should know how to paint or draw themselves.
Create another class such as handle or nodes that is assigned to your shapes. This class will resize your shapes while dragging the handles

Hi All,

i have these strings: C:\CCCRM\CCCRM\bin\release\cccrmNeeded.dll. how can i take the "cccrm_Needed" out of this string. i have this code here:

char[] delimiterChar = { ':', '\\', '.' };
string[] module = file.Split(delimiterChar);
foreach (string str1 in module)
{
// To grab the needed string, which is "cccrm_Needed"
}

Many thanks

Thanks a lot Christian, you are the legend.

I knew there had to be a better way and it would present itself eventually.
I've just never had need of the Path class before (or didn't know I did).
The FileInfo class really ought to have this member as well.

string myPathString = "C:\CCCRM\CCCRM\bin\release\cccrmNeeded.dll";
string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(myPathString);

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

instead for using the split function you can directly use the Path class of IO
sample code is

System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension (@"C:\CCCRM\CCCRM\bin\release\cccrmNeeded.dll");

and this will return the cccrmNeeded.

hi guys, how will i convert byte array to a file, then open it.
i searched the internet, but they usually create the file first then save it to their local disk, before opening... i just want to open the file(from byte array) from virtual memory.. is it possible?

i need your help badly..
thanks guys..

File.WriteAllBytes creates a file. Is that what you mean ?

If it's not on disk it's not a file. Big Grin | :-D

Once written to disk you can use Process.Start to "open" it with its associated application. That's what I do.

Hi All,

This is my first post in this forum that is full of excellent information I'm so glad I found it.

I have a c# program I'm working on it opens an excell file and displayes the results in a DataGrid at the moment I have it selecting the cell with the code below.

//Set excel sheet range
exr.SheetRange = "A1:C5";

What I'm trying to make it do is select the data from cells M3, M4, E5, G5, H5, R5 then go to cell G7 and read till the last empty cell to the right of G7 then read down from G7 to the last empty cell.

Any one know how to do this?
