Hi,

I have an urgent issue with an activeX control I have written in .NET 1.1 based on the listview. When I run the control on .NET 2.0 there is very bad flickering whereas on .NET 1.1 there isn't any. I am updating the listview asynchronously using BeginUpdate/EndUpdate along with a separate class that gets the data in a separate thread. The listview is then updated using the BeginInvoke approach.

I have dissassembled the .NET 2.0 listview and found that for some reason on every item add it executes a control.invalidate() hence forcing a repaint. Therefore, this leads me to believe that there is no way to avoid the flickering.

Does anyone have any information on this as I am surprised that the listview could be released with this problem?

Anyway, this also leads me to believe that to resolve my problem is to force the application to use .NET 1.1. However, my control is hosted as an activeX object in IE. Therefore, I cannot just use the IExpore.Exe.config file to force IE to use of .NET 1.1 framework for obvious reasons. Therefore, my second question is.

Is it possible to configure an assembly to use a specific .NET framework version?

My third question is.

If I am constrained with using an executable (having my own app domain) so that I can use my own config file to force the .NET framework version. Is it possible to host my activeX.exe in IE withing the <object> tags as I am now with my activeX control?

I hope you understand my post and hope someone out there can help.

Many thanks in advance

I have the similar issue, if had get solution plz post here,

I have developed a web application using DevExpress componet. Most of the controls used in the application are DevExpress Component.
I use ActiveX object (which also use DevExpress Component to develop it) onside splitter pan.

My Problem is when I click any component(image,button, dataGrid Row) to do something/to fire respective event and mouse over on splitter bar then the activeX object kept inside splitter pan is flicker horribly and the flickering stops when mouse out from the component.
But when the splitter pan is collapsed and the activeX object is hidden then every click action on the page works fine.
What is the problem???

Thanks

Global mutex under NT4 [Answered]

I'm trying to limit my app to a single running instance. The article I'm using to do it only works on win2k or higher, but not NT4. Is there a way to create a global mutex in NT4 to do this, or will I need to find an alternate implementation?

Just did a bit of testing and it turned out I got the wrong understanding from the comment. The "global\" was only for aesthetic reasons and not needed to make the mutex visible system wide.

You should probably get your hands on the hardware and go from there. At my company all the barcode readers just work like keyboards (they type everything they scan, so the TextBox that has to contain the value has to be active, or something similar), and our labelwriters work with Crystal Reports, that generates barcodes.

goodluck

Barcode scanners:
- not difficult at all, just think of it as a keyboard that types the values you scan really quickly (instantly). Most of them work this way. The only thing you need to do is
1. buy one
2. make your application so that the values are entered into the correct input fields

Label writers:
- usually work just like printers, just with a lot more options. To know everything I'd suggest
1. buying one
2. read up on crystal reports, or other reporting methods (crystal reports ships free with Visual Studio)
3. read some articles from CP: Barcode .NET Control[^]

public object moo<br />
        {<br />
__get { return moo; }<br />
__set { moo = value; }<br />

For the barcode scanners part: you don't need to buy one.
Most barcode scanner really behave as a keyboard. In fact you plug it into a PS2 port with the keyboard. I used Intermec [^]scanners, they are very reliable. All you need to know the type
of the barcode that will be in use (mostly it is EAN-13).

As for the receipt printers[^]: they behave like normal printers with smaller paper size.

Ok sorry I hammered on "buying" things, my point was just that you'll find out quickly when you buy one. If you have to pay for it yourself, of course you don't have to. You can make your application 100%, and it will only come down to testing and debugging the application and UI.

Regex Question: Match if absent

hi there,

I've got a regular expression which should match an url:
(http\://[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(/\S*)?)

this is fine. but now I want to make sure, that the url is not enclosed by ". that means, this http://bla.com should match, some text http://bla.com more text should match as well but this "http://bla.com" shouldn't. i've tried this, which doesn't work:
[^"](http\://[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(/\S*)?)[^"]

can anyone help? thanks in advance!

thanks, this is it. well almost. the problem is, if I have a string which contains only an url, that is http://bla.com or a string which looks like peter, look here:http://bla.com! have you seen? they both don't work. in the first case, no match is returned, in the second one, :http://bla.com! is returned instead of http://bla.com.

If I start the regex with ([^\x22]?http\://... then again it will match the " as well. I'm getting grey hair on that one and would greatly appreciate further assistance.

hey, I've tried to use some regular expressions as well today and had a real hard time finding out the correct expression.
Do you have a good link or something that explains this? MSDN really s*cks on this.

thanks

I agree. But, unfortunately, at the moment, MSDN is my only reference on regular expressions.

Ask here at CP, I think there are a lot of people far more experts than me about regular expressions.
