Run the form, type, "abc" in the comboBox, highlight the "abc", click on the Add button and the eventcode shows a selectionlength of 0.

TextBox1.Text = cboBox.SelectionLength

go through the same process and type Alt A, instead of clicking the Add button, and the eventcode shows a selectionlength of 3.

The reason for this is that when you click on the button, focus leaves the combobox, and nothing is selected anymore. Thus the "0". When you do an "Alt A", focus is still in the combobox, and you have three characters highlighted, you get a "3".

You don't say anything about adding items to the combobox items, so I am assuming that it is empty. Thus, regardless of clicking the button, or doing an "Alt A", you will probably get a "-1".

I guess my question would be: What do you want to happen?

Let's assume that you want the Add button to add the item to the combobox list. In the button click event, use this code:

CboBox.Items.Add(CboBox.Text)<br />
TextBox1.Text = CboBox.Items.Count

This will add what is typed in the combobox to the combobox list, and then put the number of items in the list into the textbox.

Hope this helps.

thanks roy.

my example should have been based on the delete function in which the difficulty is more acute than the add function...my fault.

what i want to do is highlight something in the comboBox and delete it using the delete button.

your answer helped me solve it but i have a question.

my solution is to use selectedindex which returns -1 if nothing is selected...working like a charm.

so, the reason selectedtext, selectedvalue, selectionlength and selectionstart don't work is because the field is out of focus, is that right? can you or do you want to recommend any other solutions i could use?

thank you very much in any case.

You could try putting this in your Delete button handler:

If cboBox.SelectedIndex > -1 Then<br />
    cboBox.Items.Remove(cboBox.SelectedItem)<br />
End If

This does not care if the item has focus or not.

I need to create a empty sound wave file. I do it like this now.

System.IO.File.Create("test.wav")

This test file has zero bytes.

But the program I am using can't record to it. Says somthing like file type not recognized.

However if I use explorer and right click new - new wave sound, The program can record to it ok.
This one created by explorer has 1k bytes.

How can I programicly create a "formated?" wave file like explorer?

I would create a wav file in explorer and figure out what data is in it (by reading it into an array, for example). Then whenever you want to create a wav file, you just have to write out those bytes. You will probably want to bury the header bytes for a "blank" wav file as a resource in your application so you dont have to worry about keeping an empty file around that could get accidentally deleted.

Cannot see system tray icon

matsnas6-Dec-05 2:45

Hi!

I have a created a windows service. Now I'm writing an application that monitors this service. I want the application to display a NotifyIcon in the system tray. Also I want the service to start the monitoring application if it's not already running.

If I start the application on it's own everything works fine. I can see and intercat with my icon, but if the service starts the application I can see the process running in the Task Manager but the system tray icon is missing.

Any ideas?

Re: Cannot see system tray icon

It's missing because the service started the monitoring application on the wrong desktop. Service run under their own desktop, not the one you see when you log in.

You might want to try going into the Service manager, getting properties on your service, click the LogOn tab, and check the box that says something like "Allow service to interact with desktop".

Yes, I guessed that it was something like that.

When the service is starting the monitoring application they both run as SYSTEM in the task manager. I've tried to set it to allow interaction with my desktop, as you proposed, with no result.

I also tried to allow the service to run as my user account. Now both the service and the monitoring application is running as my local user in the task manager but still no system tray icon?

Re: Cannot see system tray icon

Dave Kreskowiak7-Dec-05 2:48

I was afraid of that...

The easier method is to not create the monitor process from the service. This is because the service will run without a user being logged in, and hence, there's no desktop to start the process on anyway.

You can use .NET Remoting to get status information from your service. Start the manager application out of the Run key in the Registry. This will start the monitor whenever a user logs in. This monitor can then contact the service over Remoting and get status information and updates through events over Remoting. Then the monitor can put up the icon in the Tray without any desktop problems.

validating dynamically generated text boxes

HI Gurus. I am trying to generate a Table with dynamic controls in different
cells. I am at the same time generating Validation controls and assigning
"control to validate" property to the ID of the generated controls. The
generation works as expected, however when I press the submit button,
validation controls do not react. I posted the code below for the entire
table. In the last line I add the table to a session and regenerate the table
in the Page_Init between postbacks. Can anyone suggest why the validation
does not fire? BTW the "Causesvalidation" property of the submit button is
"ON". In advance, many thanks.

Basically, you can't. Notepad doesn't expose any such API.

In theory, you could probably calculate it, but you would have to get the text from the textbox in Notepad, get the font that it's using, get the window dimensions, and get the status of the Word Wrap option. Not at all easy from your application, since Notepad doesn't support plug-in's.

Then you'll have to calculate the length of a line, using the Word Wrap status, window dimensions, font size, ..., yada, yada, yada, ...

It would be easier if you just wrote your own Notepad! Start with a TextBox on a form...

If your looking in TaskManager, then your looking in the wrong place to see how much memory your app is actually using. What your seeing in the memory RESERVED for the .NET runtime, or virtual machine, that your app is running inside of. This, by no means, is an indicator of your app keeping a stranglehold on that memory. The .NET Memory Manager will release any memory back to the system that Windows needs for other things.

And, no, changing the process priority will have no effect at all on that processes memory consumption.

Basically, there's nothing to do to get the memory footprint down. Just let the Memory Manager do it's job.

Now, that, of course, assumes that your code is written properly. If your allocating huge numbers of objects or keeping large numbers of records in datasets, unnecessarily, then you need to rewrite parts of your app to reduce it's memory consumption. But only you will know if that's even possible.
