I'm creating a base class for a button that inherits from Control as opposed to ButtonBase.
I'm using reflector to look at ButtonBase to make sure I don't overlook anything important and I'm puzzled with the contents of the WndProc method. There's checks in there for things like button up, click and capture changed, which as far as I can tell are all handled within the relevent 'On' methods of the class.
I have a class that inherits the Textbox class. My main goal is to prevent specific keys from being entered into the textfield. Now, I have a solution however I have one issue with it.
[Code]...
I wanted to warn the user that a text box only accepts 2 characters that are only numbers. I have the maxlength property of the textbox set to 2. I also need the user to be able to BS to correct the entry, but the BS goes over the maxlength.
Private Sub txtBusDay_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtBusDay.KeyPress
If txtBusDay.TextLength = 2 Then
txtMonthNum.Text = ""

I have a class that needs to check for errors in the data contained in a object.The routines that will check for errors could be implemented in concrete interfaces of supertype IErrorCheck. That way error checks can be discrete and added or removed from the class that requests the error checks.Each IErrorCheck implementation would be programmed against the supertype IErrorCheck (Strategy).But it would be nice not to recompile when checks are added or removed.Is there an accepted procedure for abstracting the error checks all the way out of the program, such as to read the checks from a file?
View 2 RepliesI have a ListView object with the View property set to Details.I also have the CheckBoxes property set to True. Now, how do I get the user's input if they choose to check a box? Right now I am using the ItemCheck event, but that code runs even when I add something to the ListView object.What is the proper way to handle the event of when the user checks/unchecks a checkbox?
View 2 RepliesI would like to take blank secure stock paper and convert it in to a check.
I know you can get magnetic toner and print MICR.
The question is What is the actual font to use or should i get a package and send the data to it to print the check?
Has anybody done it successfully without having to resort to pre-printed checks.
Can not resolve this. Two radio buttons data binded inside a group box.
Click one thats not checked. Both un check. Must click again

I have created a windows form with a crystal reports viewer, a combo box to select a report to view, and a button that I would like to (Print All Reports). The print button in the viewers toolbar will print the report currently being viewed. I want the button in my application to print all the reports without viewing them.
I have following code, but it throws an exception of type 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.CrystalReportsException' occurred in CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dllAdditional information: Load report failed.

I have two forms Form1 and Form 2. I am passing a function with three values from Form1 and want the load event of form2 to trigger this function.. Basically I want to "paint" the values of qseq, midline and hseq on form2
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code].....
When I run this, nothing gets printed on form2 as when load event is triggered thee drawstring method is not called. how can I call drawstring from load method as drawstring takes in arguments and is called from Form1 class.
I'm making a very basic vb.net winforms app, essentially you can drag files into it, and it then uses a batch file to process the files.
It's pretty simple and everything is going to plan so far, it accepts the right files, it uses the batch file to process them and the batch file does what it is supposed to.The only problem is that I don't know how to hook into the Exited event that can/should be raised by the batch file process when the process completes...
I want the DOS window of the batch file to remain hidden while it is running, so I have used ProcessStartInfo to specify the batch file, then set the WindowStyle property of the process to ProcessWindowStyle.Minimised, then used System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(myBatch) to start the process at the appropriate moment.
This is fine, it works and does what I want. However, the only way to tell when a process ends is to use the Exited event. But the Exited event apparently only works with a Process not a ProcessStartInfo. I could switch to use Process instead but then I couldn't (AFAIK) run the DOS window minimised... I've only been writing .net for a few days. This is how I'm running the batch file:
Dim myBatch As New ProcessStartInfo("C:\batchFiles\test.bat")
myBatch.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized
system.Diagnostics.Process.Start(myBatch)
I'm trying to save some layouts from DevExpress Grid Controls so that users can change the layouts and reload them in at a later use of the control.
My question is this for speed issues I am loading the control via a user control inside of a form. Now my problem is I am creating the control by adding an instance of the control to a panel control inside of a tabbed group control when the tab is made visible and then clearing the control when the control is hidden.
If ClaimsGridPanelControl.Visible = True Then
ClaimsGridPanelControl.Controls.Add(New RXClaimsGridControl(ClaimsBindingSource))
Else
ClaimsGridPanelControl.Controls.Clear()
End If
So inside of the RxClaimGridControl I need to call a SaveLayout method when I am clearing the control. But there is no event, at least that I can find, that triggers when a usercontrol is removed/closed/hidden.
My thoughts for handling the .Clear() would be to raise an event in the parent control and then to handle that event inside of the user control.
Is there some event that I am missing in regards to the removal/closing/hiding of a user control, or is there a better way to do this.
i am using in ASP.NET Application somtimes the OnInit Event. Is there something similar in WinForms?
View 19 RepliesI already have KeyPreview set to true in the form properties I'm working on a small program, and I'm having a problem where it seems that some of the controls on it inside groupboxes are not triggering the KeyDown event on my form when I press and release any arrow key, just the KeyUp event. Specifically, I've enabled KeyPreview on the form, and set breakpoints on e.SuppressKeyPress = True in both subroutines, and only the one for frmMain_KeyUp hits the breakpoint.
I added in the two GroupBox events hoping that might mitigate the issue, but no such luck. However, I have a custom control on the form that is specifically coded to ignore these keypresses, and the code works as expected on it.
Private Sub frmMain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown, GroupBox1.KeyDown, GroupBox2.KeyDown
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
Select Case e.KeyCode
[code]....
The code in the user control that "ignores" keypresses is as such:
Private Sub TileDropDown_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyValue = 40 OrElse e.KeyValue = 38 OrElse e.KeyValue = 39 OrElse e.KeyValue = 37 Then
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
End If
End Sub
VB.NET RemoveHandler & Anonymous Methods
If I add an event handler like this:
AddHandler s.Click, AddressOf Panel1_Click
How can I can then remove the event handler?
Private Sub Panel1_click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' Remove code
End Sub
In WinForms I could handle the Validated event to do something after the user changed text in a TextBox. Unlike TextChanged, Validated didn't fire for every character change; it only fired when the user was done.Is there anything in WPF I can use to get the same result, an event raised only after the user is done changing the text?
View 3 RepliesMy application writes to the event log if there is an error or other status updates.
The application checks to see if there is an event source named "applicationName"and if not, it creates the source (see code below).
This works fine if the user is an administrator.
If the user is not an administrator, an error is thrown when SourceExists is called:
{"The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security."}
In my environment, the typical user is NOT an admin. Therefore, I cannot use the event log in my application.
Is there a way around this, or is the event log effectively useless for distributed applications?
I have a UserControl, with a TextBox and a databound property - Value.Value can be any object such as a Color, Array, Font etc.Any time the text changes, the property Value is changed as long as it is valid.Looking at the msdn article: How to: Apply the PropertyNameChanged Pattern , it says I should use the PropertyNameChanged Event patternfrom the control side.Now, If I have DataSourceUpdateMode = OnValidate, then I don't even need to apply this pattern. If, say. my Value property is bound to a colour field in a business object, then after I type red, in the textbox and tab to another field, then any other fields on the form, that bind to the same colour field, are updated immediately.

I have a Windows form UserControl that receives electrical signal waveform data into a 128 element byte array Property every 1,000 ms.
I would like to have the Paint event draw a a subset of the 128 sample points of the array every
100ms (12-13 graphic.drawline operations) to simulate a rolling waveform display such as one would see on an oscilloscope or a medical monitoring device. Is it possible, and if so, how would I set the paint event handler to fire every 100 ms?
Just moved from VB.NET to C#.In VB to connect and Event Handler to a Sub we use the Handles clause.From what it seems, this do not exist in C#. After creating a simple application with a button I realize that Window Forms Designer automatically created an EventHandler to my button1_Click function (after I double clicked it), in Form1.Designer.cs with this code:
this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);
But, in VB, the WinForms Designer create the Handles clause in my class, in the function header. So, C# create the default EventHandler in designer file, while VB creates in main class where control resides.
I'm looking for some advice for an application I currently developing. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible so if additional info is need just let me know.I'm developing an Winforms based event tracking system using VB.Net (VS 2008 Pro). The application collects data via serial bar code scanners and stores this data within a MS SQL Express db located on the same Windows XP Pro workstation that the application is installed on. When the application receives the formatted string of data it checks the db table and sends a reply back to the device indicating whether the data is a duplicate. I have written a PortManager class to handle the serial based devices and this functionality is working well.
I have now been asked to incorporate a new type of collection device into the system. The new device is running embedded Linux and uses TCPIP (POE) rather than serial communication. The device manufacture has assured me he can provide a string from the devices integrated scanner in the same format as my serial based devices.
If possible, I would like to utilize the current application and just add the ability to use the TCPIP devices to it. I was thinking it might be possible to just add a new class (similar to my Port Manager class) to handle the TCPIP based devices.I'm really at a loss as to the best way to approach this. I'm just not that familiar with collecting data from a Winforms application using a TCPIP based device.
In connection with a windows form's text control the keypress event handler provides a key's identity through the KeyChar property of the event argument. This works fine for all alphanumeric keys and Ctl-a ... Ctl-z, Backspace etc. but does nothing for such keys as Insert, Delete, Home, End, and the navigation keys. I would also want to read Ctl and Alt keys combinations etc. I have done these thing before, too many years ago, but forgotten it all. Tried the reference manual, but have not enough years left to succeed that way.
View 1 RepliesI have a WinForms app built with VB.Net in VS 2010, and I'm scratching my head over the following issue.I have a form with a combobox which gets bound to a datasource when the form is loaded:
With Me.cboCompany
.DataBindings.Clear()
.DataSource = Me.m_dsBidResults.Tables("Company")
.ValueMember = "company_id"
[code].....
This seems to work fine, as long as the user doesn't switch focus to some other control and then go back to the combobox. After switching focus, if the user then changes the combobox selection to the first item in the dropdown list (SelectedIndex = 0), the SelectionChangeCommitted event fires, but the SelectedValue remains set to the previously selected value. I've verified this by adding a message box in the above event handler, displaying SelectedIndex and SelectedValue side-by-side.
'add this to SelectionChangeCommitted event handler MsgBox(String.Format("Selected Index: {0}, Selected Value: {1}", cboCompany.SelectedIndex, cboCompany.SelectedValue))
This does NOT happen if the user changes SelectedIndex to anything other than 0; everything behaves as expected. I've verified that the table I'm binding to contains unique values for company_id and company_name.Do I need to use some other event to verify that the SelectedValue has actually changed?
In a Windows Form application I have a Form with a UserControl that contains a child control. I have an event handler for the child control's Validating event. On the parent UserControl I call the ValidateChildren() method. But the event handler for the child control's Validating event does not run. The CausesValidation property is set to true on both the parent UserControl and the child control. Is there any reason why the Validating event handler would not run?
The child control is a custom control derived from Panel. It contains two RadioButton controls, both of which have their CausesValidation property set to true.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 and VB.NET. I've got a listview control on my form and I've added columns using the windows forms designer. As you know, if you double-click on the sizer or divider or whatever you want to call it between two columns, the column on the left will autosize (unless you disable that). How can I catch this specific event? The ColumnWidthChanged event and the DoubleClick event are likely candidates, but in the ColumnWidthChanged event, there's no way I can see to determine if it was an autosize. Similarly, there's no simple way to catch what was clicked exactly with the DoubleClick event. how I can catch this specific event type?
