What mystery? You found out what's causing it yourself!

You didn't mention anything about sending keystrokes in your previous post. You said you wanted to CAPTURE keystrokes, which is completely different.
Now, your not actually sending keystrokes with the WM_CHAR message either. Your sending keycodes that are not translated yet, which is why the % sign keep coming up instead of moving the cursor like you expect. You should be sending WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP instead. This way, the message gets translated into a appropriate character or action, depending on the key sent.

Dear Dave
Thanks for reply,sorry for my Ignorance as I am not so much aware of this keystroke issue..this is wht I am doing now:
if( msg.message == 0x100 )
{
if ( msg.wParam==(uint)Keys.Left)
{
//
SendMessage(msg.hwnd, WM_CHAR, 256, msg.lParam); //256 is Dec Equivalent of LEFT KEY
}
}
I am using all this in TranslateIO() method..how else should it translate the keys?
Thanks

You don't translate the keys! The application receiving the keystrokes does this itself when it gets the KEYDOWN messages. That target application/control calls TranslateMessage itself!

I have a MdiParent and Child. After the child is called using the .Show, the Parent continues to run code.
In VB6, I typically got around this by using do while, or do events. (Hate to admit it, but I just tried until something worked) I am wanting to set this up correctly, so can anyone point me in the right direction on how to hold the parent while the child does its thing.
-Thanks in Advance

Uhhh... That's the way it's supposed to work!
Are you talking about running a form as a dialog instead of a form? In that case, use .ShowDialog(), not .Show().

I understand the difference, I do not want to stop everything in the Parent, I want to pause the code...
Here is some more clarity...
If I comment out the call to the child form, the parent forms loads and sits there. This seems correct.
If I call the Child, and set a breakpoint, and F11 through the code, everything works fine. The child is called, and the code in the child loads fine.
If I Run the code without the breakpoint, the following error occures:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Unknown Module.
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
My thoughts on this is that the code is failing because the parent is leaving the function that called the child.
The question is should I showdialog and lose the ability to use the parent window functions, Should I do a do While type statement, or is there another way to handle this kind of situation?
Thanks for the advice.
Edit: You cannot run a showdialog on a child form. So there has to be something that can "pause" the Parent.

How about providing some code.

private void MainParent_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
LoadNewConfig();
}
private void LoadNewConfig()
{
ControllerForm controllerForm = new ControllerForm();
controllerForm.MdiParent = this;
controllerForm.Show();
}
There is nothing to this code. The three lines in LoadNewConfig are the ones I remove and it works fine.
I Turned on the Exception Break into debugger option. (CTRL-ALT-E) and now I cac't get it to happen again.
grrrrrr

If so, can u please post all ControllerForm code that gets called when instantiating?
If ur overriding any methods that might be getting called then please post them too.

I've run ur code and it works perfectly under these conditions:
1) No devcomponents
Could be some fault in the assembly? Have u tried running the code commenting out all DevComponent references?
One thing i've noticed in your ContainerLoadControl event handler:
Ur safe casting "sender" into a "BaseItem" through "BaseItem item = sender as BaseItem;"
but then, on the next line, ur not taking into account that the cast might fail and "item" be a null reference. In that case "item.Name" will fail. Can ur error be in ur event handler? This error might be triggering while the form is performing native calls during loadup and thus the debugger cannot catch it properly. Try commenting it out and see what happens or try putting ur code after the safecast in this way and see what happens: if(item!=null) {//your code}

I am a newbie as well, but could you use thread.join to have your parent form wait until the child is complete?
Can't remember if each for is it's own thread, or if you would need to start the child form on it's own thread. I think the former is correct.

Of course it is! That's what it's supposed to do.
The problem is not because the function is returning, but because your code, somewhere else down the line, of either the MDI Parent or the Child form, is referencing an object that doesn't have an instance yet.
If you're running this under the debugger, it'll show you which line is throwing the exception. What does the code look like? I'd be willing to bet that it has something to do with the Load event of the Child form.

I posted code above. I tried running under the debugger and step through the code, it does not fail.
I changed to "Break into the debugger" under the Exceptions window, but it still does not tell me what line of code the problem is on.
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
I have my mdi form. One of the child forms displays a datagrid of employee salaries.
On the mdi form l have a button called update. I want to pass the Employee ID number from the grid and display it in another form.
This is what l have done so far, but does not work.
In the salaries form (datagrid form) i have this code.
<br />
private string employeeNumber;<br />
employeeNumber = grdSalaries[grdSalaries.CurrentRowIndex,0];<br />
<br />
<br />
public string getEmployeeNumber<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
return employeeNumber;<br />
}<br />
set<br />
{<br />
value = employeeNumber;<br />
}<br />
}
In the update form l have this code in the form load.
employeeNumber = parent.getEmployeeNumber;
I have declared these above the constructor
private string employeeNumber;<br />
frmSalaries parent;
My constructor is listed below
public frmUpdateEmployee(frmSalaries form)<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
<br />
parent = form;<br />
}
The error message is below
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in payrole.exe
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
The way the program works is the main control buttons are displayed in the mdi, when you click on show salaries it displays the form with the grid. The user will click once on the grid and then click on the update button on the mdi form. This will then display another form which is passed the ID number so l know who i have to update.
Many thanks in advance,
Steve

I think the problem is , not the passing, you can't grab the data , and by default you didnt set employeeNumber to a value , private string employeeNumber;
NullReferenceException occurs , because this line
employeeNumber = grdSalaries[grdSalaries.CurrentRowIndex,0];
could not set any value to the employeeNumber, and by default , you didnt set any value neither.
First, to be sure , set the value of employeeNumber = 0 ;
if there is still an exception , I guess there might be another problem.
If the value sent to the child form is 0 ,
you should consider the line
employeeNumber = grdSalaries[grdSalaries.CurrentRowIndex,0];
Thats all I know..
I hope , I could help.

Hi everyone,
I am working in the serialization of some objects that reference each other (as a graph) and I am using BinaryFormatter. In addition, I have implemented ISerializable interface in all classes being serializaed (it was really necessary!) .
The problem that I found which is stopping my work and putting in trouble with the boss is as follow:
The GetObjectData method of some objects is called more than once at the serialization, I suppose it is being serialized more than once. Am I right?
This unexpected behavior (unexpected for me!) is causing some other problems like large files, long time serialization and others...
Can someone help me with that?
All help will be welcome!
Thanks!

In C#, I Override the TabControl and TabPage(Change the font Only). In Application form, I use them, When I write
tabcontrol.Focus(); the Focus can't set the tabControl. otherwise, I using Windows.Form.Tabcontrol and TabPage, this problem is not.
Why? How to do it?

Can't say what the immediate problem is, but I had a similar problem, which I solved using the " TabControl using Custom TabPages." example on this homepage: http://dotnetrix.co.uk/tabcontrols.html
hope it helps

In C#, When using GetString method that returns the substring at the specified location within a String object.If the string is a unicode string, I want to get correct string only.
For example:
byte[] bytes;
bytes = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes("これはテストです123456");
string strReturn = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(bytes, 3, 4);
I want to get 'は' only.
How to do it?
Thanks.

Why don't you just call Substring() for the original string?
mav
|
|
|
|
|
I want to get bytes length's string only. For example:
This string is "これはテストです".
I want to have a method like Mid in MFC, but char, 'れ' is two bytes.
getsubstring("これはテストです", 2, 2) return "れ";
getsubstring("これはテストです", 3, 2) return "";
getsubstring("これはテストです", 3, 4) return "れ";
...
|
|
|
|
|
With .NET, one character is not equal one byte!
Substring() gets the character position to start and the number of characters to return.
So calling
"これはテストです".Substring(1,1) returns "れ"
"これはテストです".Substring(2,1) returns "は"
"これはテストです".Substring(2,2) returns "はテ"
mav
(who's using strange characters he doesn't recognize or understand and hopes he didn't write anything obscene...  )
