There's a good article on this site about taking control over COM objects, images, etc inside RichTextBoxes. I suggest a search of the articles.

Hi there,
how can i display an existing (local) html file in a WebBrowser window (without any buttons)?
The html file should just be displayed in this window - that´s it. But i don´t know how to do it...
Greetings,
Stefano

- Create a new Form
- Set the FormBorderStyle of the form to FormBorderStyle.None
- Set WindowState to WindowState.Maximized
- Place a WebBrowser control on a form
- Set Dock to Fill
- Show the form, call WebBrowser.Navigate
You should see the html file and nothing else. No buttons, no form borders, no File->Exit menu.

Whicht parameters do i need to fill this method? I just have the html filename, e.g. test.html.
Kind regards,
Stefano

It works, but you can make it cleaner with Missing.Value:
object empty = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
string url = "....html";
webBrowser.Navigate(url, ref empty, ref empty, ref empty, ref empty);

Hi,
I'm working on automated software tests with c#. As long as I stick to windows controls, everything is fine. But I now need to use the Active Accessibility functions as well (for webtests, Flash based software and so on)
The (rare) documentation I found on the topic is only for c++, and I just can't figure out how to use it correctly in c#. How do I correctly implement functions like AccessibleObjectFromWindow which uses severa pointers ?
has anyone already gathered some experience with it, or do you know where I could find relevant c# information on the topic ?
thx a lot 
Ulf

I'm not sure about other people but I don't even know what "Active Accessibility" functions are. If what you are using is a COM component, then you can simply add a reference to it in your C# project (assuming the component has been registered on your system). If it's not a COM component, then you're going to have to give us more details.

Hi Matt,
Active Accessibilty (MSAA) has originally been developed to help people with disabilities to use software.
Beside this great idea, Active Accessibility allows you also to get info on windowless UI controls, or perform actions on them (e.g. buttons or textfields in Flash animations)
In C# I found the AccessibleObject class, which seems pretty much to be what I'm looking for (I'm writing automated software- and webtests).
My problem is, that I don't know how to use it on controls or windows in external software. C++ usually uses the AccessibleObjectFromWindow API to get an IAccessible Interface pointer to a window. Unfortunately, I don't know how to use this function in c#.
If you have any hint where I could look.....
thx,
Ulf

I think I understand a little better. What you mean by external software is basically programs that you don't have the code for. Is that correct?
Do you already have a way to get a handle to the window in question? If so, then you should be able to just use it. However, if you don't have a handle to the window in question, you need to read up on API Hooking and window subclassing. This is not a simple topic and you should consult the various articles on CP that address it.
Now, if I've still not hit on what you are looking for, then I think you need to clarify further. If it's knowing how to use your Active Accessibility API, I can't help you there, you'll have to just read the docs.
Here is an article on CP that talks about hooking in a browser using C#: http://www.codeproject.com/jscript/htmlgetshooked.asp?target=api%7Chooking%7CC%23. Take a look at it and maybe you'll be able to get a little farther.
Good Luck,
-Matt

Hi all:
I have a picturebox, and I want to dynamically show the selecting rectangle when I press mouse down and moving on the it.
How to do it?
|
|
|
|
|
One way to do it is to render the rectangle on a backbuffer each time the mouse is moved. This way you don't have to worry about erasing the rectangle properly.
Another way is to use the ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame() method, and erase the old rectangle by redrawing it before you draw then new rectangle.

Hi,
I am doing a multi threaded app using C#,i have 4 thread spanned for a particular task(searching a Central Reservation System),one of these 4 may take a long time and which affects over all performance of the search.
So wht should be done in this case,should the thread which is waiting for along time be killed and spanned again?? is it a good thing do be done.
Pls advice
TIA,
Sudheer.

You're not really providing much for us to go on here, but I'll give it a shot. I'm assuming that your 4 threads are reading data from the same data source so the first question is are you properly synchronizing access to that data source? Second, it seeems strange to me that one of your threads is taking longer than the others to complete its task. It sounds like you might have a Race Condition. Make sure that you are properly synchronizing access to your data source and that you're not letting two threads have the same exact data object to process (or use the same database resource simultaneously if your threads are accessing a database).
Good luck.

I am process text files, opening parsing copying, deleting all base don what is inside.
I am running into to file contention at different points. I am using FileInfo objects to move, copy and delete the files. I believe it is the file Info object that is not releasing the file. I have even place the different file info object in different classes, methods hoping that when the fileinfo went out of scope it would release the file. Is there a release method that can be called to ensure the file info object lets go of the file?
Thanks

I don't see how. FileInfo doesn't acquire a file handle which means the file isn't opened. It uses Win32's FindFirstFile API which gets information based on the file without opening - basically information that is stored in the filesystem for that file's record.
I would make sure you're closing all your streams. The best way to make sure of this is:
Stream s = null;
try
{
s = new FileStream(...);
}
catch
{
}
finally
{
if (s != null) s.Close();
}

This is an excellent idea, thanks Heath I will give it a try.

A cornerstone of .NET is its compilation to an Intermediate Language and then further Just-In-Time compilation to binary code via the CLR. Can the compiler be forced to compile straight to machine code (as in pre .NET days) to produce an image that will run under a legacy OS which does not support a Common Language Runtime module ?

The answer is Yes and No, you can create a native image from your managed assembly, which will allow your application to run without the need of JIT compiling; however there are many issues that need to be considered before doing so. First off, the .NET Framework is still required even thought JIT does not occur. The image becomes dependant upon the version of .NET you are running, the CPU you are using, the operating system version and many others. If you are still curious, check out the Native Image Generator (Ngen.exe)[^] documentation.

Does anyone know how to obtain the mac address of a remote computer without using WMI. The reason that I do not want to use WMI is because whenever I try to connect to the remote computer's WMI, if the computer is running NT 4.0, I get a Class Not Registered exception. I know that it can be done because the utility nbtstat -A[Remote IP] pulls the mac of a remote computer. I just don't know how to code it. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

You could also use SNMP rather than the networking APIs. I've seen several examples of this. Either way, you're going to be redefining a lot of structures and P/Invoking a lot of functions. In any case, there's a little thing called google that comes in really handy. There's no pure way to do this in C#, but there's a ton of examples for C/C++ using various APIs like the Win32 networking API. I've seen many when searching for "MAC address". (hint hint)

You are right,Sorry.
I want to write a math program which displays on the screen a very large number of full quadrilateral shapes creating a mesh.
I find the cordinates of the four peaks for each shape and display it creating a mesh.
Next I calculate new cordinates for each shape and display a new mesh.
It happens continuously as faster as possible.
What is the fastest way to display i) a pixel ii) a full quadrilateral shape in C#?

Wait, is this some kind of trick question? I think some more details would be nice

I think that the fastest way would actually be to use C++ and write to the screen directly (I'm not even sure if Windows lets you do this, though). However, you can find several helpful tips on working with bitmaps/images using GDI+ here: http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms/FAQ_c3c.asp.

I am logging events just fine for my Navigator application, however no matter what Event ID I pass to it I get the following message:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Navigator ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.
My question is what is necessary to create a message DLL. Is it just a DLL with enumerators for each Event ID I am going to use???
HELP!
