Preventing Window Drags - Windows Forms Discussion Boards

Hi all,

I use a 3rd party component in my winform, and I try to show the same smart tag menu I use in design time(visual studio 2005) in run-time.

So the end-users can customize the component. (change Text, add Image...)

Is there a way to enable the smart tag menu at run-time ?

D'Oh! | :doh:

perhaps should I use reflection

Thanks in advance

no, you're asking for VS2005 to exist inside your app. You can write your own code, or you could indeed write some code that uses reflection to find and expose properties. But, you cannot get the VS IDE outside of VS.

I am creating an application for a Cinema Complex which has 4 cinemas running movies concurrently so far I'm trying to find some examples on the net but have not come up with any. Would anyone please help me to see any example.

Why are you finding the example for that?

What you should do is that ~

- find out what your customers wants (collecting the requirement)
- design the application based on requirement.
- create the demo and show it to customer.. (get it approved)
- then, start the coding...

What does this application do ? You've given us no idea. Also, unless this is homework, you want to ask the client what they want, as someone else said. Nothing we say means much, we don't run cinemas, and we sure don't run THAT cinema

It has been quite a while. I have a task to identify a calling Windows' batch script's name and its location. Basically, the batch script calls/spawns my C++ executable as a parent process and I failed to identify the parent. I can identify a number of different calling processes using NtQueryInformationProcess(), but failed to do so to the batch script. The main reason is that the batch process is shown as cmd.exe not a real script name. Any deal?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi,

I`ve run into an interesting situation here.I created an AppBar
(as per the tuto :http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/csdoesshell3.asp) and am now trying to extend it by preventing any window from being anywhere within the Appbar`s reserved space.
The current implementation always keeps the AppBar as topmost on the z-order, but is it possible to stop a window drag operation from entering the AppBar area itself, or in general for any form`s area ?
One technique i tried was to use the ShellAPI function of SystemParametersInfo for GETWORKINGAREA & SETWORKINGAREA , but the trouble with this is that the "boundary" keeps varying i.e all the other windows are supposed to be confined to the reduced desktop working area but if u try to drag these windows they get progressively closer to my appbar(which is docked to the left edge of the screen). The code snippets are as below :

<br />
private const int SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE = 2;<br />
<br />
private const int SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE = 1;<br />
<br />
private const int SPIF_change = SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE;<br />
<br />
private const Int32 SPI_SETWORKAREA = 47;<br />
		<br />
public static int SetWorkspace(RECT workspaceRect)<br />
{<br />
<br />
        IntPtr ptr = IntPtr.Zero;<br />
        ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(workspaceRect));<br />
	Marshal.StructureToPtr(workspaceRect, ptr, true);<br />
	return UnmanagedMethods.SystemParametersInfo(  SPI_SETWORKAREA, <br />
                                                     Marshal.SizeOf(workspaceRect), <br />
                                                     ptr, SPIF_change);<br />
}<br />

1. Is there any setting via control panel that enables me to reduce the desktop area manually(coz that way , i can do registry changes at startup and let the system handle all the behind-the-scenes manipulation )
or
2.Is there any other alternative approach ?

thanks in advance Smile | :)

Hi
I'm using a custom UserControl in my project.
Whe I created the control, debugging it went fine.
Because we are using a Team Foundation Server
with Sourc Control I have to check in this project
daily.
Now my problem. After an check out VS2005 won't debug
this control any more. I says that I can't debug
class libraries. Of course it can't. But I don't know
why my control is now recongized as an class library.
And debuging it through a little win form won't work
either, the control isn't shown in the toolbox.
Inserting the control directly by .dll into toolbox makes no sense,
because debugging doesn't work.
And the "UserControlTestContainer" is useless, too. Sigh | :sigh:

thanks in advance

hi,

You can use "System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path of ur txt file)" to copy the contents of the file in a "TextBox". Then remove the line u want to remove and save the file using "System.IO.File.WriteAllText(path of ur txt file, TextBox1.Text)".

What does this or your other question have to do with Windows Forms ( C#/VB.NET/C++/CLI ) ? Unless you're using the .NET framework, you're in the wrong place.
