Setting A Global Hot Key On A Second Form - C# Discussion Boards

WRONG!

Visio is NOT installed on your machine. It's installed in a virtual machine image thats running on your machine. You have to treat that like its a remote machine, not locally installed. Your running a virtual machine on your system, not Visio!

When you asked exactly the same question[^] last week, you got the same answer, and decided that you would have to install Visio on each computer.

I use sql loader sqlldr to read from csv files and insert into DB. Bad file which is often a text file contains reject records. My question is how to convert this text file into excel file or is there any option to output bad file as an excel file in the slqldr command. My records are in unicode format which is also a challenge for me. hope to get your advices. thks

There is a very verbose explanation of using the OpenXML libraries to build Excel documents at Creating basic Excel workbook with Open XML[^].
That should help with either pre-conversion or error handling scenarios.

The Unicode can be handled by the Text.UnicodeEncoding class. The Microsoft reference is UnicodeEncoding Class[^].

Connect to MySQL using MySQL Connector.NET and SharpSsh

Hi,

I am trying to connect to MySQL using the MySQL Connector.NET and SharpSsh but getting Unable to connect to MySQL although my SSH was successfully connected.

Can anyone help please...

Here is my code:

C#

{
    SshExec exec = new SshExec("10.0.0.111", "root");

I created a WinForm app in C# using VS 2013 Express.

I added code to create a Global Hot Key on the main form. This works fine. My hot key is Ctrl-T. I can press the hot key and make the main form show and hide.

Then I created a second form (ChecklistForm) and now I want to press ctrl-T and make that form show and hide. I do not need the main form to do this any more. I just used the main form to test my Global Hot Key code.

So I'm having trouble getting the second form to respond to the hot key. When I put a break on the WndProc(), there is no break.

Thanks for any help.

You should not need set a hotkey for each form anew; if the hotkey is used to open your app quickly, then I'd recommend setting a global hotkey. Easiest way is to assign a shortcut to the app[^] to start it, check if it is running, and if yes, bring the other instance to the front.

I don't want a global hot key to START my forms. I stated: "I do not need the main form to do this any more. I just used the main form to test my Global Hot Key code."

I want to show and hide my second form with a global hot key and my code above isn't working to do that.

Thank you...

I know; you want to show "a" form from your project when the user presses a specific key.

Hello everyone

In my WPF project I have created a UserControl (this is called Applic.xaml), and within this usercontrol I have placed another UserControl (this is called PasswordScreen.xaml). Here is the xaml design code:

XML

<UserControl xmlns:my2="clr-namespace:iPosCloud.com.iposcloud.uiC_.views"
             x:Class="iPosCloud.com.iposcloud.main.Applic"

             d:DesignHeight="800" d:DesignWidth="1024" xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/surface/2008">
    
    <UserControl.Background>
        <ImageBrush ImageSource="/iPosCloud;component/images/HoneyComb.png" Stretch="Fill" TileMode="Tile" Viewport="0,0,46,25" ViewportUnits="Absolute" />
    </UserControl.Background>
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <DropShadowEffect x:Key="DropShadowEffect" ShadowDepth="0.1" Direction="360" BlurRadius="3" Opacity=".5" />

            </Border.BitmapEffect>
            <Intersoft:UXGridPanel Margin="2" Column="1" Row="1" ItemHeight="220" ItemWidth="1190" Name="UXGridPanelLeft">

            </Intersoft:UXGridPanel>
        </Border>
        
            <Grid Margin="2" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
                <my2:PasswordScreen />  "HERE IS THE UserControl THAT I PLACED..."
            </Grid>
        
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

In PasswordScreen.xaml there is a button (called Login). On click event when clicked I want to call another xmal file called SwitchboardView.xaml but not firing nothing and the code behind this button is:

C#

private void btnLogin_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            SwitchboardView sbv = new SwitchboardView();
            
            Applic ap = new Applic();
            ap.MainGridApplic.Children.Add(sbv);

            
        }

Could someone please help me solve this problem (what am I doing wrong...)

Kind regards

Hi, I have more than one applications. Have to install using single installer. Using Inno or WIX.
Ex:App1 App2 App2 into single installer AllSetup. Please help me.

Have a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11352525/installing-several-applications-at-once-from-inno-setup[^]

I'd like to say there is another option: [Components] section[^] or [Code] section[^] which enables you to create custom wizard pages[^].

Thanks Maciej Los, I am trying to do with these.

In control panel i am able to see only one application and desktop shortcut is also only one, can you please resolve this issues.

Hi,

I developed an application in C# vs2010, and I need to install it to client System
1stly I installed the dot net framework4.0 on the System and then the application
but it showing an error unable to find a version of the runtime

Check your app: look at the version of the .NET framework it is targeting.
VS2010 supports up to V4.0, but MSDN does say:
"However, the .NET Framework 4 ends this layering approach, so apps built for 2.0. 3.0, or 3.5 will not work on version 4 or later."
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb822049(v=vs.110).aspx[^]

So if your app is targeting V3.5 or below, then installing V4.0 of .NET will not allow it to run. Either change the target of you app and rebuild, or install .NET V3.5

Hi guys am new to visual studio and c# programming stuff, tho have a good background knowledge of C and C++..

how do I go about having my entire source code in c # pasted to the visual studio , to run it from there??.I have a complete source code

If you have the complete source, then you probably want to open the .SLN file - it's a Visual Studio solution which should load the whole source correctly into Visual Studio ready for you to inspect / compile / run as you need.

You can not convert C/C++ code to C# without effort even your original C/C++ code was under the .NET framework. You will have to actually rewrite a part of your code...
If it was a Win32 API application you have even more work to do...

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I don't really understand. You said you have a good background knowledge of C and C++.
Does it mean you have knowledge or do you really have good experience and knows all the in and outs?

However, there is no way(as far as I know) of converting the C or C++ to C#. further if you are new to C# and Visual studio I recommend, to Spend few days in understanding the technology and learn the C#.

*.cs files open in Visual Studio if you mean you already have C# code. Else you'll have quite some fun rewriting everything. Although similar in syntax C/C++ are quite different than C#. If your C/C++ code also uses libraries it's even worse.

If the code base is not too large, analyze the code and note all the things that can be better. Then start from scratch rewriting the code in C#. This is very boring work, but it does advance pretty quickly.
