Hi, I want to use resource files to store message box strings. Which I read that I can by defining Name = value pair in text file. like ex > Close = "Really wann quit this application". But now the problem is where should I wirte this text file and then where should I compile Resgen myResource.txt , to create myResource.resource file. Now after doing all this how should I use these Name of string in my application to call resource file. Thanx for ur support.

As I've been trying to tell you in an old thread, use a ResX file in VS.NET instead and mark it as an embedded resource. Forms and controls already have a hidden ResX file associated with them. You can use .txt files but you'll have to compile them manually - like I also said before - using resgen.exe to the appropriate name (fully-qualified name) and embedding them with the csc.exe compiler using the /res option.
If you use a ResX file, you can centralize/localize more than just string resources, including various structs and classes that have a TypeConverter associated with them.
I also gave you a link to check out that shows MANY examples of using the ResourceManager and even a code snippet, which I'll post again:
ResourceManager resources = new ResourceManager(typeof(SomeClass)); Use the code above is a .resources file would have the same namespace and name (fully-qualified name) as a class. If now, you have to use the name and get the assembly, something like:
ResourceManager resources = new ResourceManager("MyResources.resources",<br />
this.GetType().Assembly);</pre>...where <code>this is an instance of your class that will use the resources. You need to get the Assembly and this is one of many ways to do it (one of the faster ways).
Here's that link[^] again for the ResourceManager class.

Hello,
I have a non-rectangular form that I created by overriding the form's paint method and adding the following:
<br />
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath myGraphicsPath = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath();<br />
<br />
myGraphicsPath.AddLine(...);<br />
myGraphicsPath.AddLine(...);<br />
myGraphicsPath.AddLine(...);<br />
<br />
this.Region = new Region(myGraphicsPath);<br />
Now, the form is the shape I want (diamond) but the edges are jagged. Is there any way for the lines to be smoother, so that the edges are not jagged? Is there any method I can use other then AddLine to get a smoother edge?
Thanx for the help,
-Flack

If u take printscreen of an image which has smoother edge and u see it in a magnified view, u can see some pixel in an intermediate color in between the edges and the background. That pixels make the edges smoother.
You can draw another line in a lighter color around the form border.
I hope it will work.

What you're looking for is called "antialiasing", where the color used slowly tapers off to the background, rather than being a crisp border.
Run a search for "Antialiasing in GDI+" and you should find plenty of stuff...(don't have my MSDN handy)

See the documentation for the Process[^] class in the .NET Framework SDK.
As a simple example:
Process p = Process.Start("calc.exe");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
p.Kill();

Hi Heath,
Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to make the window of the application invisible. For example if I am starting some "x.exe" using Process.Start(), can I make that x.exe's window invisible, so that user won't know that some exe has been started in the back ground. If you have any idea please let me now.
Thanks and Regards,
Satya Prasad

Put a System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox on a form, then set the .Image property to the image file on disk. You can create a System.Drawing.Image using System.Drawing.Image.FromFile. For zooming and flipping, you need to do it yourself most likely. Grab some of the pixels using Bitmap.GetPixel then draw it in a larger fashion (say, 4 pixels for every 1 you read in).

Or better yet, use the Graphics class and call any one of the many transformation methods, like ScaleTransform, RotateTransform, et. al. You can find more information about these in the .NET Framework SDK.
In this case, you can either create a new image from the existing one (see Image.Clone) and use Graphics.FromImage to get a new Graphics object for it and then assign that to PictureBox.Image, or paint the image yourself in your Form's OnPaint override. Read the .NET Framework SDK for more information.

is there a way if the picture is too big for the picturebox for the picturebox to scroll throw the picture because it dose not have a scroll on it now
chad

|

Not the picture box itself, no, but there are workarounds. Set PictureBox.SizeMode to PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage if you want the image resized. If you don't, put the PictureBox in a Panel and set PictureBox.Bounds to the containing Panel.Bounds (do not dock). Also set the Panel.AutoScroll to true. Then, set PictureBox.SizeMode to PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize. This will resize the PictureBox to the size of the image. Since the control is docked inside a Panel with auto-scrolling enabled, the panel will provide scrolling.

Hi,
I have a textbox I am using to allow editing of cells in a custom ListView-type control. However, when I call the Focus() function of the textbox, it gets the focus for a fraction of a second, and then goes back to the ListView.
How can I keep the focus on the textbox to allow the user easy cell manipulation?
Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to subscribe to the KeyDown event on a datagrid so that I can write a function depending on what key the user has pressed, eg, update the dataset and focus on another control when the user presses the + key. I have subscribe to the event and created a event handler. But the event will only be raised if the user is NOT focused on any cell in the datagrid. How can I raise a KeyDown event while the user is focus on a cell within the datagrid?
Can anyone help?

The DataGrid comprises many child controls, all of which handle keyboard events and will almost always return that the event was handled so that it isnt' bubbled up to the parent (the DataGrid). The work around would be to pretty much extend each class related to the DataGrid and bubble the events yourself.
If the DataGrid is hosted in a Form, however, there is another way. Set Form.KeyPreview to true and handle the KeyDown, KeyPress, or Keyup events, setting KeyEventArgs.Handled to true or false depending on whether or not you handle the key and don't want the child controls to handle it. This gives your form a chance to handle the keys before the control with the focus.

Thanks Heath, I'm new to OOP and C#, could you let me know what are some of the many child controls contained in the datagrid? Thanks again, Jared

Read the .NET Framework SDK for the DataGrid. You can also use tools like ildasm.exe - the IL Disassembler - that comes with the .NET Framework SDK to read the Intermediate Language and see what's used. Don't know what IL is? Read about it. Since you're new to C# (and obviously .NET, since C# is one of many languages that use the .NET Framework class libraries (FCL) and target the Common Language Runtime (CLR)), be sure to read. IL (Microsoft IL, or MSIL, to be exact) is what is produced when you compile ANY managed language (at least in pure mode, since Managed C++ can use native instructions under mixed mode compilation) so the original source language of an assembly does not matter.
You can also use tools like .NET Reflector[^] to reflect, disassemble, and even decompile (though it's not 100% accurate in some cases) the assemblies (like System.Windows.Forms.dll) to see how things work. You'll discover there's a lot of controls in use by the DataGrid. Even looking at it would tell you that a TextBox - which can receive the focus - is used. The CheckBox control, however, is not used for a DataGridBoolColumn - the checkbox and its states are drawn by the ControlPaint class.
I'm not trying to be an ass, but being a newbie you really need to read. You won't find much about the internal workings of the .NET Framework documented, but that's where self-exploration comes in and will teach you more than the documents ever can (although reading them is important because just guessing at what to use and relying on IntelliSense is a bad way to develop anything).

Thanks Heath, You have pointed me in the right direction. Now I've got to do some research. There is so much to learn, but its all good stuff. Jared.

I've got to the point where i'm handling unalocation of COM objects, but i'm curious, i've seen examples using both IMalloc wrapped objects and Marshal.Release / ReleaseComObject to handle disposal.
Which one is best protocal? Is IMalloc really nesscesary?
I get the impression that the Marshaler is actualy an IMAlloc wrapper, in which case, i don't actualy need to build and worry about an IMalloc object for things like Freeing and assigning memory to pointers.
