Did you notice teh Anchor property of the RTB?? It anchors the edges of the control to the edges of the parent container it's in, probably your form.
|
|
|
|
|
Well thanks, but thats not exactly my problem. I have this RTB to display text, when running the program the display is fine with the default form size and RTB size, but when I resize the form the text inside the RTB cannot change proportionally instead it cuts the RTB and the text inside. I want automatic word wrapping feature for the text in RTB as the form get resize (like maximize and minimizing the form).
|
|
|
|
|
You're not explaining your problem very well.
Are you saying that you want the font the text in the RTB is displayed in to resize itself so that it looks the same and fills the same area of the RTB the form is resized??
|
|
|
|
|
Yes something like that, i want the text inside the RTB to adjust automatically as the form get resize not the font size. (this form resize means manual resizing by mouse), i.e. i want the word inside the RTB to wrap automatically (like word wraping features)
|
|
|
|

The RTB won't do that. You'd have to write your own version of the control and it won't be easy.
The problem is that as your custom drawing your RTB, you have to measure a string in a font size and see how big the resulting bitmap image would be. If it's not big enough, or small enough, you have to create a new Font object to test and call MeasureString again, until you achieve the fit you want.
This is complicated by the fact that you still want WordWrap to work...
Oh, and the RTB doesn't consider one line of text on screen a single line. A single line of text wraps and keeps wrapping until a line break is hit. So, how many lines of text on screen are in that string?? See the problem??

I am writing a simple mouse/keyboard global logger. This part is the Mouse event class that uses a LowLevelMouseHook to drive events.

Hello Experts,
I am learning to make a font combobox and tried the following code, but how to add this combobox to the vb.net toolstrip. I am using vb.net 2005 Please help.
Imports System.Drawing
Public Class FontClass
Inherits ComboBox
Dim wait As Boolean
Public Sub New()
Me.DrawMode = Windows.Forms.DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed
Me.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
Me.Text = ""
Dim ff As FontFamily
Dim fc As New FontConverter
For Each ff In FontFamily.Families
Dim comboitem As New ComboBoxItem
If ff.IsStyleAvailable(FontStyle.Regular) Then
comboitem.Text = ff.Name
comboitem.Font = fc.ConvertFromString(ff.Name)
Me.Items.Add(comboitem)
End If
Next
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnDrawItem(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
e.DrawBackground()
e.DrawFocusRectangle()
Dim item As New ComboBoxItem
Dim bounds As New Rectangle
bounds = e.Bounds
Try
item = Me.Items(e.Index)
e.Graphics.DrawString(item.Text, item.Font, New SolidBrush(e.ForeColor), bounds.Left, bounds.Top)
Catch ex As Exception
If (e.Index <> -1) Then
e.Graphics.DrawString((e.Index).ToString(), e.Font, New SolidBrush(e.ForeColor), bounds.Left, bounds.Top)
Else
e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, e.Font, New SolidBrush(e.ForeColor), bounds.Left, bounds.Top)
End If
End Try
MyBase.OnDrawItem(e)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseLeave(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
wait = False
MyBase.OnMouseLeave(e)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseUp(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
wait = False
MyBase.OnMouseUp(e)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnSelectedIndexChanged(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Try
If wait = False Then
Dim fc As New FontConverter
Me.Font = fc.ConvertFromString(Me.Text)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
End Class
Public Class ComboBoxItem
Private ctext As String
Private cSelFont As Font
Property Text() As String
Get
Return ctext
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
ctext = Value
End Set
End Property
Property Font() As Font

Return cSelFont
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Font)
cSelFont = Value
End Set
End Property

Return ctext
End Function
End Class
Thanks in advance.

Have you thought of changing the "Inherit ComboBox" to "Inherit ToolStripComboBox"??
Then you might be able to drop your new Combo on the toolstrip.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes Dear I tried Inherits Toolstripcombobox but it say
DrawMode' is not a member of 'WindowsApplication1.FontClass'
|
|
|
|
|
OK, this was a bit harder than expected.
Basically, you have to use ToolStripControlHost[^] and wrap your custom combo (put the original Inherits line back in!). Then you can create an instance of the wrapped combo and add it to the ToolStrip.
You will NOT be able to use the designed to create the control on the form unless you tag your control with the ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability attribute.
I highly recommend reading the links I gave you, several times, and create a test project before you go screwing around in your real project. The concepts are a bit confusing.

Thanks Dave Kreskowiak,
I used ToolstripControlHost but dont understand how to use ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability attribute.
|
|
|
|
|
You put it just above your Public Class xxx line for you ToolStrip wrapper class. Something like:
<ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability(ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability.ToolStrip)> _
Public Class ToolStripCustomCombo
Inherits ToolStripControlHost
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New(New CustomCombo)
End Sub
End Class
|
|
|
|
|
It worked, below is my code:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Windows.Forms.Design
<ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability(ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability.ToolStrip)> _
Public Class ToolStripmyFontCombo
Inherits ToolStripControlHost
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New(New FontClass)
End Sub
End Class
Public Class FontClass
Inherits ComboBox
Dim wait As Boolean
Public Sub New()
Me.DrawMode = Windows.Forms.DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed
Me.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
Me.Text = ""
Dim ff As FontFamily
Dim fc As New FontConverter
For Each ff In FontFamily.Families
Dim comboitem As New ComboBoxItem
If ff.IsStyleAvailable(FontStyle.Regular) Then
comboitem.Text = ff.Name
comboitem.Font = fc.ConvertFromString(ff.Name)
Me.Items.Add(comboitem)
End If
Next
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnDrawItem(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
e.DrawBackground()
e.DrawFocusRectangle()
Dim item As New ComboBoxItem
Dim bounds As New Rectangle
bounds = e.Bounds
Try
item = Me.Items(e.Index)
e.Graphics.DrawString(item.Text, item.Font, New SolidBrush(e.ForeColor), bounds.Left, bounds.Top)
Catch ex As Exception
If (e.Index <> -1) Then
e.Graphics.DrawString((e.Index).ToString(), e.Font, New SolidBrush(e.ForeColor), bounds.Left, bounds.Top)
Else
e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, e.Font, New SolidBrush(e.ForeColor), bounds.Left, bounds.Top)
End If
End Try
MyBase.OnDrawItem(e)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseLeave(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
wait = False
MyBase.OnMouseLeave(e)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseUp(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
wait = False
MyBase.OnMouseUp(e)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnSelectedIndexChanged(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Try
If wait = False Then
Dim fc As New FontConverter
Me.Font = fc.ConvertFromString(Me.Text)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
End Class
Public Class ComboBoxItem
Private ctext As String
Private cSelFont As Font
Property Text() As String
Get
Return ctext
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
ctext = Value
End Set
End Property
Property Font() As Font
Get
Return cSelFont
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Font)
cSelFont = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return ctext
End Function
End Class
But it gives me a warning:
Warning 1 Constructor on type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripControlHost' not found. 0 0

Hello,
I connected two computers in LAN 1st having IP 192.168.1.1 and 2nd having IP 192.168.1.2 and i am having sql server management studio express 2005 installed on 1st computer now when i run exe from 192.168.1.2 it throughs an error like.
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
where as it runs perfetly on 1st computer.
my conection string is
Public DBConn As ADODB.Connection
DBConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=MSDATASHAPE; Data Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=TOSHIBA\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=" & App.Path & "\AVON_AIR_Data.mdf; User ID=sa; Password=; Integrated Security=SSPI; Persist Security Info=False;"
DBConn.Open DBConn.ConnectionString
Please suggest
Thank you.

It'll be logging in on your first computer using Windows Authentication. Has the sa-account been enabled? Does the second PC have the correct password?

You cannot use a database file on the local machine when connecting to a remote SQL Server instance.
You have to switch to a non-user-instance config string and permanently attach the database file on the remote machine to the SQL Server instance on the remote machine. This is easiesst done using the SQL Server Management tool. Then you can change the Initial Catalog option in your connection string to the database name you assign on the SQL Server.
If you're going to be using Integrated Security, do not supply a username and password. If you have to supply a username and password, do not use Integrated Security. The two options are mutually exclusive.

Hello,
I changed my connection string to
DBConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI;AttachDBFileName=" & App.Path & "\newdb.mdf;Database=newdb;User Instance=true;Trusted_connection=Yes;"
but it gives me run time error like
Invalid connection string attribute..
Can you please suggest which attribute is invalid.
Thank You.

How many times have you asked this question?
You don't have a clue what you're doing, do you?
You haven't understood any of the things I said in my other post and know nothing of what's in the connection string. Your "second" attempt you posted contains none of the fixes I told you about and you're still trying to attach a remote instance of SQL Server to a local file, which will not work.
