I am having a little difficulty in understanding exactly what it is that you are doing, since you seem to be a little bit confused about what 'MDI' is.
However, that has never stopped me before. 
Firstly, please forgive me if I seem to be going at a too simplistic level, but you said you are a beginner, so that is why.
The TabControl has a SelectedTab property, which returns a TabPage.
The TabPage control, like most Windows Forms controls, has a Controls property. This is a collection of all controls within the TabPage.
So we can find the active tab of the TabControl (SelectedTab) then all that is needed is to go through all the controls until a RichTextBox is found. (This assumes that there is only one RTB on each tab)
If you Google for 'iterating the controls collection C#', you will get lots of hits, find one that you like and experiment with it.
Hint: You will need to cast the result to RichTextBox e.g.
RichTextBox result = (RichTextBox)foundControl;
Hope this is of some use.
Good luck!

thanks for the advice and the attempt at helping me however im long past that and have tried every example I could fine. I know google and how to use it. If it was another forum post i was looking for i would have went there. I have tried and tried and what ever im doing is not working. hints dont help me. i posted my code because i am at the point i neeed help and was hoping someone, another set of eyes could see what i was doing wrong and perhaps give me a code example on how to get copy selected text from the active tabs richtext box. And im not confused about MDI perhaps theres someone that understands what im trying to do that can provide some insite.
thanks

ok ill dumb down my question. picture this i have a wordpad like editor with a ton of custom controls. everything works great. I added a tabcontrol. tabpage1 has my original richtextbox everything works great still. i added the ability to open new documents in a new tab and of course none of my custom controls work in any of the new documents. So in order to try to make all my current controls work in the new documents(richtextboxes) I dont want to re-write controls for every knew document. I just want to use the current controls on what ever the active richtextbox is. So thats when I went to mdi for easier control of both the tabs and the current open documents. Perhaps theres a better or easier way. I have tried more ways then my wife would care for. The above codes are just part of an example from what I am working on.

How do you mean?
Like how some balloon tips have a (X) Close button on the top-right corner or programmatically or are you talking about closing a balloon tip of another program?

Hello everyone, I have to find the biggest rectangle(square) in a matrix which holds only even numbers.
If I have normal rectangle with even numbers my code is working, but if I have some strange figure like two rectangles in one my code fails.
Please anyone who have done something similar before to give me a clue how to get this rectangle.
I am not very sure is it my post for here, so if its not please excuse me.
Here is my code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace EvenNumberMatrix
{
class EvenNumbers
{
public static int[,] givenArray ={
{5,2,6,8,5,9},
{7,5,3,2,4,7},
{9,6,3,6,4,2},
{8,5,3,6,2,2},
{9,6,3,7,4,7},
{8,5,6,2,2,5}
};
public static int maxCol = 0, maxRow = 0;
public static int[,] tempGivenArray;
static void PrintArray(int[,] a)
{
for (int x = 0; x < a.GetLength(0); x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < a.GetLength(1); y++)
{
if (a[x, y] != 0)
{
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
}
else
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Gray;
Console.Write(a[x, y] + " ");
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int number = 6; int countRows = 0, countCollums = 0, x, y;
tempGivenArray = new int[number, number];
for (int i = 0; i < number - 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < number - 1; j++)
{
if (givenArray[i, j] % 2 == 0 &&
givenArray[i + 1, j] % 2 == 0 &&
givenArray[i, j + 1] % 2 == 0 &&
givenArray[i + 1, j + 1] % 2 == 0)
{
tempGivenArray[i, j] = givenArray[i, j];
tempGivenArray[i + 1, j] = givenArray[i + 1, j];
tempGivenArray[i, j + 1] = givenArray[i, j + 1];
tempGivenArray[i + 1, j + 1] = givenArray[i + 1, j + 1];
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < number - 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < number - 1; j++)
{
x = i; y = j;
while (tempGivenArray[x, y] > 0)
{
x++;
countRows++;
if (countRows > maxRow)
maxRow = countRows;
if (x > number - 1)
break;
}
x = i; y = j; countRows = 0;
while (tempGivenArray[x, y] > 0)
{
y++;
countCollums++;
if (countCollums > maxCol)
maxCol = countCollums;
if (y > number - 1)
break;
}
countCollums = 0;
}
}
PrintArray(tempGivenArray);
Console.WriteLine("The biggest rectangle with even numbers is: "+maxCol * maxRow+" positions!");
}
}
}
Thank you very much in advance

Hi,
I haven't studied it all in detail, I do have two things for you to reflect on:
1.
why are you using a second int matrix, where 0 means one thing, and non-zero another; all you are interested in is odd or even. BTW: what would happen if some of the input numbers are zero (zero is even!)
2.
when checking for an even subrectangle, how come you have two while loops that are not nested?

Thank you for your reply
1. I am using zero based matrix for better visualization and when I make logic conditions to check the numbers are they even is easier for me to check are they more than zero. In my case I have to check for numbers >0.
2. I tried with nested while loops but the result is the same, or my knowledge is not enough to figure it out how to check for rectangle, for that I have nested for loops to get the current position and with while loops I am checking from current positions are they any rectangle existing.
Greetings

Hello, I have populated my WPF listbox from c# code like this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{ listbox1.Items.Add("blah"); }
Well, the items appear in the listbox, but I CAN'T SELECT THEM INDIVIDUALLY. I've also found that the "index" property is the same for each item.
However, if I populate the listbox from XAML, it works PERFECTLY: selection is OK, indexes are different.
What's wrong with my code?

I have two pages. Page A cross postbacks to Page B. On both pages I have a hidden field. I want to set Page B's hidden field with the value from Page A. The problem is that when it leaves Page A a value is in the hidden field. However when it Page B initializes (which is where I am checking the value and writing it to the new hidden field.) the value is an empty string. I have stepped through the code to make sure that when it leaves Page A there is a value and when it "arrives" Page B there is an empty string.
I cannot figure out why this is happening. Can anyone assist? Here are the pieces of my code:
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page pg = PreviousPage;
if (pg != null)
{
HiddenField hfPrevStudent = Helpers.FindControl<HiddenField>(pg, "hfStudent");
HiddenField hfPrevSchool = Helpers.FindControl<HiddenField>(pg, "hfSchool");
if (hfPrevStudent != null)
{
hfStudent.Value = hfPrevStudent.Value;
hfSchool.Value = hfPrevSchool.Value;
}
}
}

Hi! I am doing a project about a game - a 5x5 grid with letter. The player must search words from the grid.
void SeekWords(string word, int[,] visited, int x, int y)
{
if (!(x < 0 || x > 4 || y < 0 || y > 4) && visited[x, y] == 0)
{
visited[x, y] = 1;
SeekWords(word + Grid[x, y], visited, x - 1, y - 1);
SeekWords(word + Grid[x, y], visited, x - 1, y);
SeekWords(word + Grid[x, y], visited, x - 1, y + 1);
SeekWords(word + Grid[x, y], visited, x, y - 1);
SeekWords(word + Grid[x, y], visited, x + 1, y - 1);
SeekWords(word + Grid[x, y], visited, x + 1, y);
SeekWords(word + Grid[x, y], visited, x + 1, y + 1);
visited[x, y] = 0;
}
}
This method is good, but for words longer than 6 letters it's too slow. Are there other algorithms for searching the matrix which are faster?
Thanks

I can understand this code is slow :P.
But I don't really get what you want to achieve? Can you maybe clearify that?
Is it like a snake? which will check for a word like this:
{a, b, c}
{d, e, f}
{h, i, j}
and if you try the word 'abf' it will find it and starts at point 0,0 and ends at 2,1. But if you try 'abj', it won't find anything?
If it is, I think it is funny and I'll try to code it  , if it isn't please explain how and what you mean exactly.
|

|

Yes, it is like a snake. The word 'abj' form your example isn't valid according to the rules of the game. Each next letter must be a neighbor to the previous. For example: 'adi', 'hec'...the word 'ada' is not valid (a letter from a box of the matrix is used only once).
I was thinking of a solution with combinations and a check if the letters are neighbors (this is only an idea, I haven't thought about it much) .

Hi,
I have several remarks:
1.
From every position you could move to 8 adjacent squars, however you only have 7 SeekWords calls; you skipped one, it will become even slower!
2.
I don't see the word length anywhere in your code; the code as it is will search for all the longest words; i.e. on a 5*5 board it will find several 25-character words, and a lot of shorter ones because "the head of the snake" gets caught in a dead-end. On a 6*6 board, it will find several 36-character words, and a lot of shorter ones, including all the ones found for a 5*5 board. The complexity of the job is more than exponential in z, where z is the size of the board.
Therefore, there is no decent general solution; it grows at an enormous pace.
3.
However, there are ways to improve, not so much by changing the algorithm (you have to investigate all possibilities, there is no escape), but rather by changing the implementation. The biggest factor I can see is the matrix. I suggest you smash it into a linear array, i.e. let Grid[0]...Grid[z-1] represent the first row, Grid[z]...Grid[2*z-1] be the second row, etc.
That means the current position (former x,y) becomes p, and a line such as SeekWords(word + Grid[x, y], visited, x - 1, y - 1); becomes SeekWords(word + Grid[p], visited, p-z-1);
which just is simpler, hence faster.
4.
visited[] could hold booleans instead of ints with values 0 and 1; I don't expect that to influence performance. Also visited[] could be a class member, making it unnecessary to pass it as a method parameter; doing this probably would slow things down, since class members are "farther away" than method parameters.
5.
if x equals 0 there is no need to try three SeekWords(x-1) since they will fail their initial test.
similar for y==0, x==z-1 and y==z-1
you could perform one test inside SeekWords as in
SeekWords(...) {
if (...) {
if (x>0) {
SeekWords(... x-1 y-1)
SeekWords(... x-1 y)
SeekWords(... x-1 y+1)
}
if (x<z-1)>etc.
Of course, in a one-dimensional array it becomes slightly more complex.
One easy and fast way is to make 8 extra boards, one for each direction, initialize them properly and then just do eight times something like if (canStepInDirectionMM[p]) SeekWords( p-z-1)
canStepInDirectionMM[] would contain true everywhere except for those starting positions that don't allow a step in the direction (use M for minus, Z for none, P for plus in both X and Y direction).
Doing so, the complex if at the start of SeekWords reduces to if(!visited[p]) {...}
I expect the above to speed up things by say a factor of 3, so maybe it becomes acceptable for a 6*6 board, but I see no easy way to tackle larger boards unless there were an acceptance test on the words, say "an exact length of N letters", or "all letters appear in alphabetical order". If so, the nesting of SeekWords with be curtailed most of the time, leaving only very few (relatively speaking) combination to be investigated.

In the code I have posted, some parts are missing, including the one with the word length. For word with maximum length 5 and minimum length 3 is very good. I will consider your suggestions.
I have an idea. If the current word is 4 characters, the program will also search the first four characters of the dictionary words. If there isn't a match, the words which derive from the current also won't have a match.
Current word: ac
Dictionary:
abcde
abefg
abegh
In the example there is no word starting with 'ac', so the words derived from 'ac' won't be in the dictionary. This will save a lot of roaming in the grid.

Well, I've managed to accomplish my goals. Before the program searched words with max length 8 letters for about 3 minutes. Now it searches words with max length 15 letters for less than 4 seconds!

I made an application with a form that starts another thread.
see: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1649&msg=2979123
Now when I drag or resize the form the thread blocks
for about 1/4 of a second...
Googled a bit and it seems to be a typical Windows problem,
is there a way around it?
I tought of even using a different proces (with "real time priority")
instead of that 2nd thread, but that's maybe a drastic and complex solution.

No. Considering Windows is not a real-time O/S (despite the priority name), your thread, even under the best of conditions, can be put on hold for a while other things are going on in the system. Your thread is never guaranteed a set amount of time to run, nor is it ever on a set schedule.

Well, the dragging takes place in the gui thread.
So I made a faster multimedia timer that periodically (about 1ms) invokes a method on the gui thread that:
- Sets the ManualResetEvent
- Does Thread.Sleep(0) to give up his quantum
It will never be 100% reliable, but still, it's way better than before
I know that windows is no real time operating system,
but using some real time middleware is not always an option.

Hi,
One simple thing you can do to reduce the amount of redrawing when dragging and resizing is to change the performance options for your PC.
In XP, go to the System control panel , click the advanced tab and then the performance button. Under Visual Effects there are a few presets but firstly try the best performance option and see if there is any improvement.

I don't think that is a very good solution...
I found my own solution (not 100% reliable ...)

How exactly do I set s user to be disabled? I can get the value.. but how do I set it:
bool? AuthenticablePrincipal.Enabled
Gets or set a Nullable boolean vlaue that speecifies whether this account can authenticate...
but how do I set it to false?
UserPrincipal getUser = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, userName);
getUser.Enabled = false;
Does not work.
|

|

You also need to follow those statements with:
getUser.Save();
If you're already doing that, then I don't know. It's worked for me in the past.
