I've already answered your previous question: do not use controls (as you said, they're too heavy), but manage the drawing surface yourself. See my previous reply for more details.

Override the OnPaint method of your main control and use gdi to draw your playing field.

You can either do this through the Display control panel (under the Appearance tab) for all Windows applications, or you'll have to go through the tedious work (experience with Win32 programming is definitely helpful) of handling WM_NCPAINT to paint the Window non-client area (the Window frame) yourself. It's not easy.

You should really consider why you need this, though. There is a user interface guideline for Windows applications to present a common look and feel for a reason: usability. If all your application looked different, users would have problems using them. That's why user interface guidelines exist. Violating this without just cause would just lead to many problems.

programming MS Outlook com object

27-Sep-04 6:44

Sorry, but those are really your only two choices. If you want to customize the frame then you're responsible for drawing the frame in its entirety. Only when you draw ontop the frame can you get away with not drawing the whole non-client area.

You don't, however, have to draw every ornament. Just be sure to pass the notification message (WM_NCPAINT) back - modified or not - to the default window procedure (call base.WndProc inside your override). To chance the size of a frame is a major change, though.

Hi all,

I have two questions on programming MS Outlook where I want
to get and send email from the MS Outlook.

1. What are the differences between programming the Outlook Com object by
C# and by programming the MAPI ?

2. Are there any difference in programming the MS Outlook and Outlook Express?

Thanks
Patrick

1. The Outlook OM is specific to Outlook. MAPI is the Mail Application Programming Interface and is implemented by MAPI clients that may or may not contain all the functionality of Outlook (like Calendar, Tasks, etc.), since it is, after all, the Mail API.

2. It's an entirely different code base. OE only does mail while MS Outlook doesn't do newsgroups (NNTP). The object model is completely different, and OE really isn't that extensible. It's meant to be a lightweight mail client (currently supporting POP3, IMAP, and HTTPMail), while Outlook is more of a solution and can support POP3, IMAP, HTTPMail, Exchange, and provides for pluggable protocols. Besides both being mail clients and sharing a common name, they really have nothing in common.

For specifics, you should use OE or another NNTP client and search for relevent newsgroups on news://msnews.microsoft.com.

Hi Heath,

Thx for ur reply.

I need to programming both on Outlook and outlook express.
For outlook, there is no problem. But for outlook express, it
seems that i need to use c++ to program the MAPI to get the email
in the folders of the outlook express. Is there any C# way to program
outlook express ?

Thanks
Patrick

You should really use MAPI for both Outlook and OE. Why develop two different codebases to do the same thing when you don't have to? It also poses an installation and maintanence hastle.

The problem is, there's two types of MAPI. The first is the original and exposes an automation interface (which means it's scriptable). Because it's scriptable, it was used by email worms. So Microsoft developed Extended MAPI which has no automation interface and requires that you use native bindings a la C++.

With .NET and C# you can actually use both. You can use MAPI but Outlook will warn when trying to access folders. You might have seen this before. Starting with Outook XP, IIRC, it prompts to allow access for a set number of minutes (or only for the current call).

Using Extended MAPI requires that you P/Invoke native functions.

You can find articles about doing both here on CodeProject as well as MSDN[^]. Just do a search.

Integer to a String

I would like to know how to convert from integer to a string, actually I would like to know how to implement the function 'itoa()'.

Please provide C code.

Thanks.

Stefan Troschuetz24-Sep-04 0:40

Simply call the ToString method of your int variable.

int A=8;

string b=A.ToString();

And i am not getting what you mean to explain through this 'itoa()'. Will explain this ? D'Oh! | :doh:

First, I don't think that is possible. You are going to have to call some part of the .NET Framework at some point.

Second, why don't you want to call "any library function"?

Do you want to know more?

ok... but creating an "int" you are using the .NET BCL (base class library). By creating a string you are using the .NET BCL...

I think you must be after something in C, not C#. Check the C++ forum.

Hi i had a problem this intialization control on form.

Suppose i had an ActiveX control on my dialog.And i had an
RadioButton(with Checked = TRUE)onto dialog also.For this button i had ChackedChange event handler, which commit an action with those ActiveX control.But when form initialized this event arised, but object still not created, and cause of i get access violation!!!
Rather, the control created on this row:
MyObjAx = new MyObjAx();(or may be properly say begin created???)Into InittializeComponent method,after this routine arised event for my RadioButton handler,but there is i see that this component still not created.One had right pointer,but in debug window i can see that fields of one not initialized.

How i can avoid this stumble???

THANK.

hi,
The reason is because you are trying to access your activexcontrol before initializing the control.

You can do one thing. Just remove your radiobutton's ChackedChange event handler declaration and add it after creating the ActiveXcontrol.

hi
I suppose activeXcontrol initialized in string
Me.MyObjAx = new MyObjAx();

And this routine invoke before ChackedChange event handler.

Is it so???

hi,
You wrote some code on changeevent handler to do something with your activeXobject. right. But you are trying to use that handler before initalising that object. Add changeevent hadler after creating object of your acticeXobject.Ok.

Did you got what i am trying to explain ? Smile | :)
