Hello!
Is it possible to lit the num, caps and scroll lock light on a regular keyboard with a C# program?

You can read the state easily, but to set/toggle it requires some PInvoke I believe. There's a MS article here[^] with code in VB as an example.

In case you haven't solved your issue completely - I have posted an article on this subject that is a full solution, dealing with many problems that I encountered that you may not yet have come across.
Thanks for your post, it inspired the article!

Thanks!
Tried to understand your solution, but it's maybe to advance for me, not much code-comments either.
But your solution proves that it's possible to do lit the keyboard lights with a C# program. Now I know it's possible

If you either copy the files in the Keyboard project into your own, or add a reference to the Keyboard.dll file to your solution, you don't need to worry about how I've implemented it - you can just use the properties, events and method(s) of the ToggleKeyController class as I have done in the demo (if you look at the code in FormMain.cs).

Hello All ,
I have requirement that User will have list of Directories . the moment user selects a Directory
Thread s hould be started and It s hould display List of Txt files name and dates in Grid .
User can change the directory and the thread should show the files of that directory in grid
I have done the code like this
public static DataTable GetFilesinDirectory()
{
DriveInfo Drive = new DriveInfo(strDriveName);
DirectoryInfo[] DirectoryList =Drive.RootDirectory.GetDirectories(strDirectoryName);
DtFilesList.Rows.Clear();
// DtFilesList.AcceptChanges();
FileInfo[] FilesList = DirectoryList[0].GetFiles("*.txt");
foreach(FileInfo ObjInfo in FilesList)
{
DataRow drFileInfo = DtFilesList.NewRow();
drFileInfo["Name"]=ObjInfo.Name;
drFileInfo["CreationTime"]=ObjInfo.CreationTime;
drFileInfo["Extension"]=ObjInfo.Extension;
drFileInfo["LastWriteTime"]=ObjInfo.LastWriteTime;
DtFilesList.Rows.Add(drFileInfo);
}
return DtFilesList;
}
This method is assigned to thread
strDirectoryName will be updated once user selects the Directory
But problem is Since it is Static method I cant acces the Grid then how should i Bind ?

Hi,
if static were the problem (I'm not really sure), why don't you drop the static keyword? A thread does not require its runner method to be static.
|
|
|
|
|
Okie Let me tell the requirement ..
A thread should be there which will pool a folder for every 5sec and show the list ofiles in grid with the new changes
|
|

I see no problem (maybe that's because I don't read code when it is not in PRE tags).
Try to be specific: what is it that happens and you don't like; or you would like to happen but it doesn't?
And use PRE tags.

what i have done is I binded DatatTable to binding Source and then binded that Source to that Grid .
No i Have written a method which will get List of all the files for slected directory and store it in the DatatTable which is binded to the source .
This method i have assigned to the thread ..
Now the datattable is getting updated but the Grid Is not getting refreshed ???
That is the problem

My experience with data binding is limited.
If the control is not tracking your changing datasource, the one way I know how to fix it is by setting the datasource to null, then assign the real one again. And maybe, never tried it, Control.Invalidate() also works.

Luc, isn't it a simpler problem? If he is indeed using separate threads, then he can't update the grid anyway without invoking the GUI thread - can he?

Yeah, one shouldn't touch the data binding properties from another thread, unless through Invoke. Not sure that's the problem, it could well be. This whole thread is unclear to me.

Below is the code written in row editing event of data gridview(in assumption that row editing can only be done if some control like textbox is there)
(TextBox)(GridView2.Rows[0].Cells [2]) = "a";
But is this syntax of object conversion correct?It is giving error as system cannot convert type string to system.web.ui.webcontrols
|
|
|
|
|
yes, because "a" is a string, not a textbox.
|
|
|
|
|
Try
((TextBox)(GridView2.Rows[0].Cells [2])).Text = "a";

Thanks dear.
For your valuable suggetion.
But for installation time textbox there is no such property exist.
This textbox is textbox dialog box which is provided in .net in set up project.
|
|
|
|
|
Then what you have to do is provide a Custom Action[^] which should allow your own dialog.

Apart from this you will need to use the Orca [^]utility to change the textual style of textbox.

Hi all,
I am developing a winforms application and, in order to store some data on the client side I am using a dataset. My problem is that for a particular table (nothing different in settings compared to other datatables in my dataset), I get an exception when I try to insert a new Row.
I will not paste any code in here as I don't think that it will help anyone, but what I do is:
* create new row object using: MyDataSet.MyDatatableRow row = datasetInstance.MyDataTable.NewMyDataTableRow();
* I populate the columns I need
* I try to add the row to the datatable: datasetInstance.MyDataTable.AddMyDataTableRow(row);
At the very last step (add to datatable), I get an exception saying: "Cannot perform '=' operation on System.Char and System.Boolean."
I tried to see if I am doing something wrong while setting the column value, but everything looks fine... also I already waste lots of time on google trying to find an answer, but no success.
Can anyone explain to me why this exeption occurs? Any idea what could be wrong, what should I try in order to fix this?
Thank you in advance!
Andrei
