  • How can I draw a Rectangle on a PictureBox?

    - by TooFat
    I am trying to just draw a Rectangle on a PictureBox that is on a Form. Writing text like shown here works fine. private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { using (Font myFont = new Font("Arial", 14)) { e.Graphics.DrawString("Hello .NET Guide!", myFont, Brushes.Green, new Point(2, 2)); } } but when I try to draw a rectangle like so nothing shows up. private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(); rect.Location = new Point(25, 25); rect.Width = 50; using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 2)) { e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rect); } } What am I missing?

  • System.Drawing - bad text rendering using DrawString on top of transparent pixels.

    - by mackenir
    When rendering text into a bitmap, I find that text looks very bad when rendered on top of an area with non-opaque alpha. The problem is progressively worse as the underlying pixels become more transparent. If I had to guess I'd say that when underlying pixels are transparent, the text renderer draws any anti-aliased 'gray' pixels as solid black. Here are some screenshots: Text drawn on top of transparent pixels: Text drawn on top of semi-transparent pixels: Text drawn on opaque pixels: Here is the code used to render the text: g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality; g.DrawString("Press the spacebar", Font, Brushes.Black, textLeft, textTop);

  • What causes my borderless C++/CLI app to crash when overriding WndProc?

    - by Ste
    I use a form with border NONE. I need to override WndProc for resize and move form. However, using this code, my app crashes! static const int WM_NCHITTEST = 0x0084; static const int HTCLIENT = 1; static const int HTCAPTION = 2; protected: virtual void Form1::WndProc(System::Windows::Forms::Message %m) override { switch (m.Msg) { case WM_NCHITTEST: if (m.Result == IntPtr(HTCLIENT)) { m.Result = IntPtr(HTCAPTION); } break; } Form1::WndProc(m); } virtual System::Windows::Forms::CreateParams^ get() override { System::Windows::Forms::CreateParams^ cp = __super::CreateParams; cp->Style |= 0x40000; return cp; } How can I fix my code not to crash but still allow my form to be moved and resized?

  • Painting to Form then to Printer

    - by jp2code
    I often find myself needing to create custom reports that do NOT work with Crystal Reports or Report Viewer. Often, I hack a DataTable together and dumping that into a DataGridView control. It is never pretty, and printing is difficult. What I need is a class that I can call using the OnPaint event, but I've never sat down and written all of the Pen and Brush commands until now. Painting to the screen and painting to a printer both use the Graphics object, so I want to build a class that I'd pass in the Graphics object, my window bounds (a Rectangle), and some data (in the form of an instance of my class) that I'd use to paint a form or a sheet of paper. That sounds like a great concept! Surely, someone has done something like this before. Does anyone know of a book, a website tutorial, or video that goes into this? If someone wants to write all that out for me here, more power to you - but I'd think that would be too much work.

  • Selecting contents of Label Control

    - by j-t-s
    Hi All I have what I consider to be a pretty unique problem here, and no idea how to implement. From what I've seen, there is no documentation, tutorials, samples and/or articles on this. I've spent weeks researching, with nothing to show. The problem: I need the user to be able to select the contents of a Label Control at runtime, and edit it. If this can be done by extending the existing Label control, great! Or, if this requires a whole new Label Control to be created, fine. So be it. Using a TextBox is not an option I'm afraid. Any help at all is greatly appreciated! Thank you, jase

  • How do I make a child control re-anchor to its parent Form when it has been cut off on a small resol

    - by Paul Fedory
    I have a Windows Form with a default size of 1100 x 400, and I have a DataGridView control on it anchored to Top, Left, Bottom, Right. Resizing the form on a screen with resolution higher than 1100 x 400 works fine, and the anchoring works well, resizing the DataGridView control as expected. When I launch the form on a screen with resolution 800x600, the form is cut off, and made to fit the 800 x 600. The DataGridView is cut off, and cannot be seen entirely - it bleeds off the form to the right, so it's not respecting the right anchor. Resizing the form in this situation doesn't respect the anchoring settings for some reason: the DataGridView control does not resize when the form is resized. Is there a way programmatically (on a resize event or something) to force the child DataGridView control to anchor to the sides of the form? I've already tried calling a PerformLayout and Refresh in the Form's resize event but it's rather redundant, isn't it?

  • Is it possible to provide a resize indication (resizer-grip) on a form without adding a status bar?

    - by Marek
    I would like to have a resize indication on a windows forms Form (the same resize-grip as when you have a status bar). I do not want to add a status bar to the form - that would break the design of the form. The form can have various controls inside that are docked (Fill). I have not found any solution to this besides drawing the resize indication in lower right corner of every control, which is not very feasible. Is this possible without adding a picture of the resize grip to every control that can be docked in the form?

    - by Serexx
    Hello - I am working on in installer project that needs to gather some info and act on it during the install (mainly online key retreival and registration). The Setup Project UserInterface templates seem inflexible and poorly documented so I am looking at opening a WinForm as a Custom Action.

Does anyone have (even a pointer to) a clear concise description of how one gets this done in a VS 2008 WinForm project... Many thanks for inputs

  • Prevent Casual Piracy for Simple Utility

    - by Chad
    I've written a small utility that I wish to sell for less than $10. My primary concern is "casual piracy". The scenario that plays out in my mind is this: User buys the program, enjoys using it and tells their friends. The friends copy the application to their USB drives and take it home - using the application for free (maybe never realizing they should have purchased it. Since I've got absolutely no protection built in, it would just be a simple copy'n paste to pirate the app. The users who would be using the app are in close proximity to each other (work in the same environment), so casual piracy would likely occur frequently. Any ideas? Keeping in mind the app is cheap (partly to reduce casual piracy), and the level of effort to write the app hasn't been very demanding. Update: the app will run on any system that supports .NET 3.5.

    so I fill my DGV with some data and set some columns invisible: var part = inventory.espiromex_product.Where(p => p.descriptionsmall == cmbMainP.Text).First().partnumberp; dtgAssy.DataSource = inventory.espiromex_productsub.Where(p => p.partnumberp == part); dtgAssy.Columns["idproductsub"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["partnumberp"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["partnumbersubp"].Visible = true; dtgAssy.Columns["quantity"].Visible = true; dtgAssy.Columns["comments"].Visible = true; dtgAssy.Columns["assemblyno"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["assemblynodesc"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["uomid"].Visible = true; dtgAssy.Columns["subassemblylevelnumber"].Visible = false; dtgAssy.Columns["scrappercent"].Visible = true; this is just fine but columns are sorted Alphabetically, How can I reorder columns programmatically? note that inventory is an Entitie and I am using Linq to Entities.

  • How to make a panel behave like a modal for the form

    - by The King
    Hi All, I have a MDI child Form which displays items that are already in the database. I use a datagridview (PostedItemsDataGrid) to display the items... I also have a Button which enables user to edit the line selected in the datagridview. There are also other controls on the form other than the two controls specified. I use a panel (Name : UpdateItemsPanel) containing various controls to edit the item selected... I want to display this form Modally... ie... When this form is active, user should not be allowed to access any controls other than the controls in the UpdateItemsPanel. I tried the following but got into other problems... If you can help me in solve either the main or one of these problems, it would be great help. I tried putting the contents of UpdateItemsPanel in a seperate form and show it as modal... The trouble was showing the update form as modal, blocks all other MDI forms also. Other problem with this 1 is, I need to position the modalform just below the PostedItemsDataGrid... I'm not sure How to do it... I tried putting the other controls in a panel and disabling the panel when updatepanel is displayed. This ofcourse, makes the (PostedItemsDataGrid) disabled and hence unable to scroll... Could you please help.... Please let me know, incase you need more info...

  • Arrow keys and changing control's focus hang the application

    - by sthay
    I have a usercontrol that contains a FlowLayoutPanel (topdown flow) with a bunch of radiobuttons. The control exposes a CheckedChanged event that fires whenever one of the radiobuttons's check changed. My form contains the usercontrol and a textbox. I subscribe the usercontrol's CheckedChanged event and depending on which radiobutton gets checked, I either disable the textbox or put a focus inside the textbox. All this works fine with mouseclick when changing the radiobutton's check state. However, this will hang indefinitely when using the arrow keys. I don't understand why the difference. The following are steps to reproduce the behavior I'm seeing: Create a usercontrol and drop a FlowLayoutPanel control and set its FlowDirection = TopDown. Then add two radiobuttons to the FlowLayoutPanel. Provide an event handler in the usercontrol public event EventHandler CheckedChanged { add { radioButton2.CheckedChanged += value; } remove { radioButton2.CheckedChanged -= value; } } Create a windows form and drop the above user control. Add a textbox and set Enabled to False. Subscribe to the usercontrol's CheckedChanged event as follows private void userControl11_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { textBox1.Select(); } Run. Notice that if you use the mouse to click between the radiobuttons, thing works fine; but it will crash if you use the up/down arrow keys.

  • How do I add/remove items to a ListView in virtual mode?

    - by Eric
    If I'm using a ListView in virtual mode then, as I understand it, the list view only keeps track of a small number of items in the list. As the user scrolls it dynamically retrieves items it needs to show from the virtual list. But what if an item is added or removed from the master list? If an item is added/removed outside of the range of indexes being shown by the list view then I would assume the list view would show the added/missing items when the user scrolls to that index. Is this correct? But what if an item is added/removed from the range of indexes the user is currently viewing? How do I trigger the list view to refresh the items it is currently viewing to show the new/missing items?

  • Synclock a section of code while waiting for ShowDialog to return

    - by clawson
    I'm having trouble working out how to lock my application out of a section of code while it waits for a response from an external program. I've used Synclock on a section of code with the Me object in the expression. In this Synclock I call an overridden ShowDialog method of a dialog box, which has a timeout parameter, but does return the value from the underlying ShowDialog function call ,once the timer is setup. Works like this. SyncLock Me Dim frmDlgWithTimeout As New frmDlgWithTimeout ' dialog box with overridden ShowDialog ' Dim res As DialogResult = frmDlgWithTimeout.ShowDialog(10 * 1000) ' 10 sec timeout ' End SyncLock Now, external programs may raise events that bring my application to this Synclock but it doesn't prevent it from entering it, even though the ShowDialog function hasn't returned a value (and hence what I thought would keep the section of code locked). There is only one instance of the object that is used for lock in the program. Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • Regarding Visual C# MenuItem: Where does the NullReference come from?

    - by Thomas
    Hi All. I have a problem creating MenuItems for a TreeView dynamically: here is the (simplified)code i'm using. public class CTM : TreeNode, IComparable, IComparable<CTM> { public CTM(CTMProvider provider) { this.provider = provider; this.manager = provider.manager; this.IEEEAddress = provider.IEEEAddress; this.endpoint = provider.state._conn.RemoteEndPoint; this.Text = String.Format("CTM: {0} {0}", IEEEAddress, ((System.Net.IPEndPoint)endpoint).ToString()); try { MenuItem meni = System.EventHandler(this.provider.Disconnect)); this.ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(meni); } catch { Trace.TraceError("Could not create menu item!"); } } } This code always triggers the catch clause with a NullReferenceException. Any Ideas?
