Hello folks.
I am writing an application which has two text boxes (call them A and B). B is a hexdump representation of the text in A. So far, so good. What I want that when text is selected in A the corresponding hex characters are highlighted in B, and vise versa.
I started with TextBoxes, but I needed to know when the selection in one box changed and TextBox doesn't tell you this. RichTextBox has the SelectionChanged event - perfect - so I switched to RichTextBoxes.
But now, whenever my selection extends beyond a space, RichTextBox starts selecting the entire word(s). I can't get it just select what I drag the cursor over. I have checked the AutoWordSelection property and it is set to false - I even checked it at runtime to see if had changed, but it is false at the moment my selection is being changed.
Does anyone have any ideas? Can this #!&^ "feature" be turned off in RichTextBoxes? Or can I go back to TextBoxes and get notification of a change to the selection?

Hi Clive,
I dont think you can change the selection mode the way you want it.
Even Wordpad does it like that: as soon as a selection crosses a word boundary, it extends to contain complete words only (so not only with spaces, try e.g. a period).
And yes I too dislike that.

In my C# Winforms 2.0 application I have
Main form MenuStrip:
AllowMerge: True
Main form Menustrip File menu:
MergeAction: MatchOnly
MergeIndex: -1
MDI Child form base class MenuStrip: AllowMerge: true
MDI Child form base class MenuStrip File Menu:
MergeAction: MatchOnly
MergeIndex: -1
MDI Child form base class MenuStrip File Menu New item:
MergeAction: Insert
MergeIndex: 1
When I open child window, child menustrip menu item is not merged Main form.
Any idea what causes this ?

Hello. Right now I admit defeat and don't know how to do this. I have a configuration file that I have to load at runtime and interpret. This works fine for all the settings in the appSettings sections but I don't know how to get the value from the system.diagnostics section.
This is an example of an config file (in "real" a lot bigger;))
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="Hello" value="World" />
</appSettings>
<system.diagnostics>
<switches>
<add name="Trace" value="4" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
To load the file I use the OpenExeConfiguration method and most of the data I can get to, but not the "Trace" value from the system.diagnostics.
<code>
System.Configuration.Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration("c:\\projext1.exe");
MessageBox.Show(config.AppSettings.Settings["Hello"].Value);
ConfigurationSection sel = config.Sections["system.diagnostics"];
</code>
Does anybody have any idea on how to get the value? A possible solution might be to load the file into XML, but I'm still hoping on using the Configuration object. Hope you can stand my bad english and thanks to enybody that have a suggestion.
Edit: formatting...

Be sure that you are: using System.Diagnostics
Then, in your code, you can use the configured switch by creating a TraceSwitch with the same name as in your config file:
TraceSwitch appSwitch = new TraceSwitch("Trace", "");
The value you want to retrieve is appSwitch.Level (which in your case will be Verbose, as you have the value set to 4 in your config file.

I would like to draw a graph of a vector of float values and was just
wondering if this is possible in C#?
Basically, just being to draw lines (by giving it co-ordinates) would suffice, however,
have the capability to draw a vector (graph plotting) would be ideal...
Any help much appreciated!

hi Gerry,
Vector/advanced graphics is supported in Framework 3.0. if you are working with 1.1/2 version of the framework, this should be helpful

Look up the System.Drawing namespace. In the Graphics class you will find methods for drawing any shape you like.

I think what he is referring to is creating your own custom control that will draw the graphics how you want using the Graphics object provided in the OnPaint method of UserControls.

Yeah absolutely right Thomas,
For example, I'd like to have something like:
<br />
double [] dblArray = new double[5];<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
PlotArray(dblArray);<br />
<br />
Any ideas on how to start with PlotArray( ) ?
Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated!

Then you need to get MSDN fixed where you live since it is an invaluable resource for windows developers.

The best way to start is to look at the documentation for the Graphics class we are telling you about.

The graphics framework in C# is called GDI+, there are plenty of good books on it. As for image processing, if you search the site, I have a number of articles on images processing in C#.

If I remember correctly the Comport component in the .NET framework 2.0 has an event that gets fired when new data arrives. You might want to look up the documentation on the component http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ed55271k.aspx[^]
Hope this helps

Also why when I moved toolStrip and menuStrip controls to toolStip Container I added lately all event handlers where removed rendering all menu and tool strip items not working, had to manually double click each item then rename old event handler methods to new created on double click to make all things work again
basically for example event that had click stopped working and new was now click_1 so I had to remove new empty click_1 and rename old click to click_1.
Why did this happen?

To simplify question what is right way to move toolStrip to container?
