Hi,
I have a Windows Form application that runs TopMost. In this application, there is a print function, which silently prints out a PDF file to the default printer.
At the load of the Form, since the TopMost property is set to True, the Start Menu is hidden, which is exactly what I want.
However, when the printing action is launched, the Start Menu pops up. This is triggered by the Taskbar (a little print icon is shown upon printing).
Is there a way to prevent this?
This application needs to run at an exposition, and will be launched on a touchscreen computer. The idea behind this, is that a customer can print a brochure of a product he's interested in.
Secondly, I want to disable all the default shortcut keys to close the application (like ALT + F4, CTRL + ALT + DEL, etc.).
Any ideas anyone?
Kindly yours

To prevent closing of your application just put e.cancel = true in the formclosing event of your main form.
You can't prevent it from being closed in the taskmanager.
As to keeping the taskbar hidden you can try to put me.bringtofront after the print code but I doubt that it will work.
I don't think there is much you can do against it.

Isn't there another way around?
Like, an auto closing MessageBox, displaying for example the text "Please wait. Your information is being printed", and when closing the MessageBox, returning to the startup page (which is also defined as TopMost)?

Actually i had some projects in vs 2005 in which i used crystal reports , so , if their is no Crystal reports in vs 2010 then i was thinking what to do for older reports should i go for the license for Business Objects etc. Microsoft or any other company will never say they did something wrong anyhow as told by "Dave" it could be bcz of Beta Version.

Probably because CR is not the product that is in Beta right now?
Just because it's in Beta doesn't mean that your looking at the final retail product package.

Yeah, you can start by defining your requirements better than this and working up a specifications document.

I am currently trying to add a section of code to auto suggest the next message code (taking the message last one in the database and suggesting the next one to the user) in the text box. Any suggestions?
|

How are you presenting the suggested message to the end user?

In a text box on a pop up window.

I would suggest that you need to store an Unique ID column next to each message within your database, or a column for the sequence, (which ever best suits your requirements), the store the last shown message Id somewhere.
When you the want to show the next message :
SELECT TOP 1 MessageText FROM MessageTable WHERE MessageId > LastMessageId

We do not have the permissions to create new columns in the database. We have to go with the column message codes that is already in there.
|
|
|
|

IF there is not a field that you could use as a comparison, like an ID field, then you could open up the table, search the each record (do loop/for each) for matching text to the current message text and then move to the next record and display that. When you get to EOF, then just go to the first record and display that message. Long way around, but sometimes you are forced to do things in code you nromally would have to do because of bad database design.

Hi,
im monitoring data from Temperature Sensors and writing it all into Excel (measuring 32000 samples).
I want to make an online chart in the form which will show me the Temperature graph dinamicly,
1)should i make an array of 32,000 filled with Zeros and send it to the chart whenever new data arrives ?
2)Is there a way to send a single incoming data to the chart and adding it to data which came before ?
3)how do I send data to chart without connecting it to any data source ?
(sending an array or adding values to it ... Chart FX, Microsoft Office Chart 11.0 or any other chart).
Thanks.

Yes and no. Don't use an array, but you will have to send all the data that you want to be visible again and again. It'll probably be better to use a datatable, with an added index column (someone will correct me if I am wrong about this, I am sure).

This depends on your answer to the first question.

Connecting it to a data source by binding is always certainly going to be the fastest / most efficient, so why would you want to avoid doing that?
