Hello all,
I whant to change the possition at which the child window of a Rebar Window, in this case a toolbar window, is placed once the control is created. (padd it to the right)
None of the members of REBARBANDINFO lets you specify an offset for it's child window.
I could trap WM_SIZE messages and then re-position it's child everytime the window is moved, but I dont like this method.
Is there any way to set the offset of a child window inside a reband control ? (whithout forcing size by means of constantly sending WM_SIZE messages)
Thanks in advance.

Well, we're doing a Winform Word reporting project for a Career evaluation comany to automate their candidate reports. We need generate some chart, images base on the candidate's result.
We have following questions:
1.Regarding how to get those chart into word, we think of two options for now, first option is to draw those chart, images in Winform and then try to insert them as pictures into Word. Second option is to use Word's own charting,
that is use MS Graph library, and insert chart straightway into word and customize the chart into our desired shape.
However, either option seems not easy, for the first option, how do we get an image or chart file from Winform and then insert the file? For the second option, the chart is NO-Standard word chart or word shape, I don't think we can draw a chart or shape out of what WORD has offered.
So if anyone have any hints how we can work around these issues, please offer some advice.
2.Another hard part is how do we dynamically draw the chart base on candidate's evaluaiton result? Say a candidate get 8 out of 10 or 70 out of 100, those points need to be reflected on the charting. But in WORD how can we draw so accurately?
3.Even we find some ways to get the chart, image into word, the next question comes to how do we precisely, exactly insert the chart/image into the right position we want in the Word file? I have been thinking of bookmarks, but it seems there's no
way to dynamically generate bookmark.
We appreicate your time and your advice in advance!

Why do you want the info in word - the business requirement should be VERY strong, not just "I think I want it in Word". Office is a lousy reporting tool, you are subject to it being on the client machine and versioning on the client machine can be a nightmare in anything but a small shop.
I would recommend using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to do your reporting, there is an export to word/excel option from SSRS. It's not perfect but office is not perfect. If your client is at all picky they are probably not going to be happy with the solution.
Trying to use word/excel as a reporting platform is a disaster that has found a home.

Hi,thanks for the reply, but as I said, the client want the report in Word format and it's only a small Winform application with Access database. So using a SQL server reportin service is out of topic anyway. I have also realized that it's all about Office/Word automation in this case.

I am developing a UserControl for an Application I'm playing with. It is a viewer for a collection of Thingies ( ThingyListViewer ).
When a new ThingyCollection is assigned, ThingyListViewer clears its Controls collection and for each Thingy in the new collection a ThingyViewer control is created and added to the Controls collection with its Dock property set to Top.
As you can imagine this looks pretty ugly during the change. So, I implemented BeginUpdate() and EndUpdate() methods using SendMessage and WM_SETREDRAW. However, because Controls are being added I also had to use SuspendLayout() and ResumeLayout().
Here's where I'd appreciate opinions. Since BeginUpdate and SuspendLayout are always used together, ditto for the other two, I have put SuspendLayout in my BeginUpdate method and ResumeLayout in my EndUpdate method.
Is this valid, or will it come back and bite me at some stage, or in certain circumstances?

Sounds reasonable, I can't think of a valid reason where you would need to use only 1 of the methods. Oh possibly where you are updating existing controls rather than adding new controls.

Thanks for that.
It's nice to get some confirmation.

I have VS2005 Standard, what is the best way to deploy a simple Winforms app?
Thanks.

The student version won't produce the .config file so you can only execute the app within the IDE.

OK OK, I have a virtual XP machine and if I copy the executable file to this and try to run it I get the following error message:
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.".
I have installed the .NET 2.0 redistributable.

Make sure you copy the app config file over
So if your program is named:
NextBigApp.exe
make sure you also copy the
NextBigApp.exe.config

Ah, this explains it.
At work I have a full version but at home a student version. Ah well, I was too rich anyway

Doesn't let you deploy an exe outside the IDE uh? I purchased the Student version of C++, WAY back in "the day", and it had that limitation.
Ya know, you can get the .NET SDK and #Develop IDE[^] can build .NET applications that are deployable ...
Just a thought.

You should investigate the conditions for the Academic Editions (I believe they are == Professional Edition) cost circa £95 for VS2008.

It will be deployed at work, I was wanting to check this out at home before the next phase.
Thanks.

Elaine,
As mentioned above, "xcopy" deployment for small WinForm applications works just fine, but here's a list-o-deployment methods I've used for WinForm stuffs:
- ZIP file
- Wise 9 installer
- Visual Studio Setup project
Just make sure you get all your dependencies, config files, etc...

I've mapped the debug directory to the target machine so everything in the debug directory is there, message is as in the reply above.
|
|
|
|
|
When you say you've "Mapped the debug directory to the target machine", are you trying to run the program (exe) from your VM, hoping it will pick what it needs out of the debug folder, or are you trying to run the application directly out of the mapped debug folder?
|
|
|
|
|
Shouldn't you be deploying the contents of your Release folder?
|
|
|
|

As others have already stated XCopy is the quickest and simplest for an experienced dev like yourself. However, if you haven't already done so, you might want to read up on click-once deployment[^]. There's a lot of it, but is fairly easy to understand.

I use a VS setup project to create an *.msi file to install. I'm using VS2008 now, but it worked OK with VS2005.

I'll second the VS Setup Project. I've used it for several apps at work, and i can also package a setup.exe with any prerequisite packages (.NET Framework, DirectX version, MySQL, whatever you want). You can have it download these separate installers from the web, or include them with your installer. While the setup project doesn't lend itself to much customization, it's sufficient for basic deployment.
