Re: Detecting when a child form is being moved

25-Mar-23 18:13

You're missing the Form.Move event. All you have to do is handle that event in your form code and you can get the Top and Left property values for the position of the form.

That's what I thought - unfortunately that event does not fire for me....
Is there a setting in the parent that could prevent that event from firing ?

That means there is no code "wiring-up" the event handler.

If you're looking at the position of Form2 from inside Form1 code, you have to "wire up" the event yourself. If you're only looking at the position of Form2 inside Form2 code, the event isn't getting wired up in the Designer code.

Which is it?

Hello,

I have a table layout panel that is dynamically populating a user control into a table panel layout.
The user control has a picturebox and a few text fields.
Loading the svg literally takes 2-3 seconds for each user control with the picture box to display.
The file sizes are only 2kb to 20 kb.
I've tried chnaging the sizemode property on the picturebox, but it acts the same no matter what.
I can step through the code and there is no delay at the Load step.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to speed this up?

'UserControl
Dim pp = New ProjectPart
With pp
pp.PictureBox.ImageLocation = strFileName
' pp.PictureBox.LoadAsync()
pp.PictureBox.Load()
pp.CheckBox.Text = PartPlastic_ID
pp.ComboBox.Text = PartPlastic_Status
pp.TextBoxPN.Text = PartPlastic_PartNumber
pp.TextBoxType.Text = PartPlastic_Type
End With
'Add to TablePanelLayout
TlpCustomerParts.Controls.Add(pp, currentcolumn, currentrow)

Try it with .png. If it's faster, than you know the .svg is slower (because it's a "draw command" file and not an "image").

Unfortunately there is a library of thousands of parts. I'll try to convert some and check it out.
Thanks!

Download a few hundred, convert them using a script and test it. If it's true, write a script to convert them.

Being a library of thousands of parts is not an argument, it's not like someone is asking you to open each one in MS-paint and press "Save As".

you are using two methods to load the picture, and you load the image two time..

choose betwen loadasync() , or load()

unable to run msbuild command from my c# console application code

i have been using cliwrap for running git commands and passing the arguments. But it seems to have failed while running my msbuild command from my c# console application.

What i am trying-
var stdOutSetup = new StringBuilder();
var stdErrSetup = new StringBuilder();
var Setup = await Cli.Wrap("msbuild")
.WithArguments("/t:scmclean && /t:setup")
.WithStandardOutputPipe(PipeTarget.ToStringBuilder(stdOutSetup))
.WithStandardErrorPipe(PipeTarget.ToStringBuilder(stdErrSetup))
.ExecuteBufferedAsync();

var stdOut2 = stdOutSetup.ToString();
var stdErr2 = stdErrSetup.ToString();

Console.WriteLine("Build Commands Output :");
Console.WriteLine(stdOut2);
Console.WriteLine(stdErr2);

is there any possible way where i can run msbuild commands from my c# console application?

You have already posted this in the C# forum:

And again in QA:

And even if you hadn't, a C# question does not belong in the Visual Basic forum!

Yes, and the effect will be similar to writing them commands in a batch file.

Why is there an "await" in your code?

Search for C# execute console commands, the web has enough examples on how to launch stuff on the console.

Installing VB6

Hi, I have this old VB6 project that I need to modify a little. My question is where I can download(spyware free) VB6 or .ISO image? We do have MSDN subscription, but I can't find anything but the service pack. Found these installation instructions for Win 10: How to install Visual Basic 6 on Windows 10[^]

Also some strange download of one CD, that doesn't looks like what I'm searching for: WinWorld: Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0[^]

Thanks!

There is no legitimate download for VB6 or VS6. It's been a dead product for quite some time now.

If you're saying "typical Microsoft mess", they've been screaming "get your apps moved to VB.NET" for the last 20 years.

VB6 IDE support ended in 2007(?) and is not supported on any current version of Windows. The VB6 runtimes will be supported until the end-of-life of Windows 11, currently, for the 22H2 version, in 2025.

Nobody can complain about it. They've had over 20 years to get the code moved over to .NET.

Then why MFC still works? Microsoft screaming out loud "Wach out! I did something stupid again!" doesn't help me today. I haven't written this application.

Because MFC is still very widely used, still supported, and doesn't have anything to do with VB6...

I mean... even if they don't support it... you have to admit it could at least be available for download.

You'd think but if it's available for download, there's always some whiny little sh*t who thinks since it's available it's also supported.

And then you are going to run it on what? You would need an OS (windows version) which runs it and then a computer that runs that.

Hypothetically one of those links seems like it might be the CD image? Or the installer?
So then maybe you can create a VM that would run maybe Windows 95 or Vista? Then run the installer in that? But you would need to find Windows 95/Vista to install in the VM.

-----------------------------------------
Myself this is why being a pack rat can be a good thing.

I am rather certain I have a computer tucked away with Windows 95 on it. (Never had one with Vista.)
I also have all the MSDN CDs/DVDs back to the 90s. (I think that means I have a developer version of Vista though.)
I even have some monitors which would be required for that computer. Although I have been thinking of tossing those.

Single Step Debugger25-Jan-23 5:39

25-Jan-23 5:39

Yes, this is the case. We are setting VM with Win XP. Also, it looks like with a little trick it can be installed on Win 10. I just don't have the discs.
