Can I make my toolstrip backcolor match my window frames color automatically? Since frames are controlled by themes, can I set the toolstrip color in the IDE using the System tab and selecting one of the options, say Inactive Border color?
For example, if my theme uses a blue frame color, can I tell the toolstrip backcolor to match it somehow?
I want the background of my form to be the same color as the window frame color that the user selects, even if that changes. I selected System->WindowFrame as my background color, but it always remains a dark grey, regardless of what I have my window color set to. How else would I achieve what I want? I assumed I was doing it the correct way. Do I actually need code that gets the system window color and then apply it?

View 11 RepliesIn my project I've got a MainWindow that opens up a second Window. Inside the second Window there is a Frame and I start a navigationservice inside the Frame. Also in the second Window I've got a KeyDown method that calls Me.Close when the user presses the Escape key. Anyway, when the second Window closes a System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer() inside one of the pages in the navigation service doesn't end. Any ideas on how can I close the second Window and terminate the DispatcherTimer inside the navigationservice?

I can access a specific frame and put the frame into a bitmap so that I can process the bitmap.
I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.

how does this function works. How does it copy the frame? HDC BiBlt???
ublic Function copyFrame(ByVal src As PictureBox, ByVal rect As RectangleF) As Bitmap
If isRunning Then

the above function is called from the below command which is in a timer event. mycam is a class including the copy frame function.

I have a personal project to complete and one of the smaller aspects is to capture about 10-20 seconds of video or a screenshot (bitmap,jpg, etc)from a DVD. This is made even more complicated by the fact that the video files may be .VOB, .AVI or .MPG and using numerous codecs (DivX, Xvid, etc).
I have searched on google and the tutorials here, but nothing seems to fit.
Does anyone have some "simple" references, URL's, blogs, code examples that would help with my quest? (My policy is not the KISS principal, but the KISFSP ... "Keep It Simple For Stupid People")

I am writing code to automate internet explorer. I have successfully done it for a few sites, essentially I need to be able to access the html, and elements such as input boxes to automatically fill out forms, and pull back the results. But for the current project the website has a framset and frames, I was wondering if there is a way to get access to the html and elements within the frame.
I am using Interop.SHDocVw to control internet explorer. I have been trying some code similar to the following, but after I get the frame I need and the documentElement off of it, I can't get the actual html inside the frame. I can get the outer page/framset html, but whenever I try to get inside the frame is comes up as Nothing. I was thinking it may have to do with IE frame security
