C# - Windows Ce 5.0 - Forms app
The problem: I have several buttons on one of my forms that need to have 2 lines of text in them.
The question: Is it possible to to have the button text on multiple lines? It works in visual studio but on the device or in an emulator the return and newline show up as small boxes.
Thanks

Hi,
don't know about CE, but on Windows XP/Vista the button text (without any \n\r) wraps as soon as the width is insufficient the hold it on one line, assuming the height is sufficient to accomodate more than one line. BTW: the same is true for a lot of Control types.

Yea - Let's just say I'm jealous. Windows CE seems to be the unlucky and unliked step child of Windows, it misses out on all the fun.
I'm going to make a bunch of people unhappy tomorrow during the design review when I tell them they have a single line to display text on.
Thanks

I don't know if it's possible directly. You can however create your own class and derive from System.Windows.Forms.Button, and override OnPaint just as you can in WinForms.
DaveBTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)Visual Basic is not used by normal people so we're not covering it here. (Uncyclopedia)

I don't supposed you'd have an example of this would you? I'm not that strong of a C# programmer yet and I don't have time to figure this out by tomorrow morning.
Thanks

I've just tried it and the Button class doesn't want to play ball 
You may have to use Control as your base - but that's going to be a lot of work to make it behave like a button.

Thanks for checking, I'm not surprised though - it's Windows after all.  I'm afraid that I don't have the time to figure how to use Control, I'll just make the design team think up better tags for the buttons.
Thanks again

Hi everyone,
There's a sample in MSDN about playing a wave sound (Here[^]).
I just copied the code and paste it in my application but when I try to play a wave sound from a path, I have DllNotFoundException exception. Here's the full message:
Unable to load DLL 'CoreDll.DLL': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
What is this CoreDll.dll? I searched my PC but nothing found 
What should I do? Am I missing some references?
Thank you in advance.
I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?

Hi,
the link you posted points to a Compact Framework article; its first page contains the sentence
"This example defines the Sound class that provides the following native code functionality by using CoreDll.dll in Windows CE"
does that ring any bells?

hi.
how can i access a user registry through a web browser(on acceptance ofcourse).
|
|
|
|
|
Normally a web browser is running everything in a sandbox, so that you can't access the registry.
But it is possible to use an ActiveX-Control (works in IE) that can access the registry through the .NET Framework classes.

what is the procedure of creating activex that runs on the client?
|
|
|
|

First you would implement the functionality to access the registry in an assembly.
Then you have to wrap (use) the assembly in a COM-Component. This could be done by creating another assembly that will serve as COM-Component, referencing your assembly that makes the registry access. This Component has to be registered at the client machine, so that you can access it through the IE. There are possibilities to auto-install the COM-Component (ActiveX)...

Sebastian

Thanks for the answer. but im a little confused.
id tried this folowing steps:
1. create a user control using c# and compile it.
2. creating a simple web apllication(aspx) and adding a reference to my user control(browsing to the dll file).
im confused about the following steps.
how do i register the user control to the client machine?
|

Well, wrap the user control within another assembly. Mark this assembly as COM-Interop (in Visual Studio, go to the settings-dialog of your project and check the "Register for COM-Interop" box). Then you have created an assembly than allows COM-Interop. This assembly has to be registered on your clients PC. You could build a cab file, or a msi that the user has to download and install on his pc (this will register the assembly on your clients PC). There is some kind of automated install, but for this you have to search, because I don't know exactly how this works.
But while developing the app you can test it on your own pc, just build the project on your PC (this will register the assembly for COM-Interop) and then call the assembly with javascript from your website.
This will looks similar to this:
<br />
<script language="javascript"><br />
function CallMyCom() {<br />
var myCom = new ActiveXObject("MyNamespace.MyClass");<br />
alert(myCom.SayHello());<br />
}<br />
</script><br />
SayHello is a method from your assembly containing a class MyNamespace.MyClass.
Hope this helps you,
Regards
Sebastian

Write your own web browser application, and run it as administrator.

Hi!
I have a serious problem.
I have some text that is written by a TextRenderer. And now i want on some part of it an link with underline, different color and so on.
I have searched many hours but found nothing.
Has somebody a solution?
|
|
|

The color, underline etc of a link is control by the style. You can define what these attributes are by using styles, preferably in CSS. If you want the code for the actual link google for href, that should get you going.

thanks for your answer.
the problem is, that i want to make a part of the text clickable. i don't know how to insert a link in the text the textrenderer produced.
have you got an idea about this?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, as I said, you need to put the link text in a href - just like any link. If you dont know what I mean, just google for href. How you put in around your text in a textrenderer is for you to work out.
