Best regards, Alexey.

hi V!

just want to ask an example value of the DateTimePicker and the Today's date?

i just asked because maybe, the format of your datetimepicker and Today's date is different...
You can set the datetimepicker format but the today's date format gets it on your regional settings.
try to look at this[^] if that's your problem

hope that helps! Smile | :)

hey tnx!
I was looking in that direction, because I noticed idd the format was different.
The second strange thing I saw was the following:

When I press my button, my value gets set, but today's date stays shown
When I than manually choose another date and than press the button, it works! Confused | :confused:

[EDIT]Damn, the solution that microsoft proposes will not work. The user is not allowed to change regional settings, but multilanguage support is still required Dead | X|

. I'm now searching for the short version (=property of dtp) or a masked textbox.[/EDIT]

i tried to test it but it works fine with me... perhaps i just misunderstood what you're trying to say?

actually, this was also my problem before so what i did to solve this was to create a custom control like the datetimepicker but not inheriting to it.

this[^] gave me an idea to create that control. Smile | :)

hope this also helps you! Smile | :)

It gives me some ideas tnx a lot... (although the links don't work anymore, but it gives me a search direction Wink | ;)

)

(And yes, the behaviour of my datetimepicker seems very, very ackward to me too. I've just set the initial Value in the properties (before compiling) to 1/1/1829. Yet at runtime, today's date is shown Confused | :confused:

.

I think I'm going to create some custom thing instead Smile | :)

tnx.

hi all,

i am trying to get the active window asw a bitmap, an earlier post directed me to the GetForegroundWindow() function in user32.dll

this however (with the code below) is returning both my desktops as the bitmap not the active window.

can any please help?

internal static Bitmap GetForegroundWindowBitmap()
{
  IntPtr handle = GetForegroundWindow();

  //Get a device context from the desktop window
  IntPtr windowDC = GetWindowDC(handle);

  Bitmap windowImage = GetBitmap(windowDC);

  ReleaseDC(windowDC);

  return windowImage;
}


internal static Bitmap GetBitmap(IntPtr imagePtr)
{
  //Get a GDI handle to the image
  IntPtr hwnd = GetCurrentObject(imagePtr, 7);

  Bitmap desktopImage = Image.FromHbitmap(hwnd);

  return desktopImage;
}

the above code (GetBitmap) works fine to get 'a' desktop or all desktops if i pass in GetDC(GetDesktopWindow())

kind regards,
g00fy

Hello

first set your forms KeyPreview property to "true",
then on controls KeyPress event do your job like below code :

<br />
private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
  if (e.KeyChar == Keys.Enter)<br />
  {<br />
   ....<br />
  }<br />
}<br />

if this can not help you mail me please.
Bye Bye. Smile | :)

thanks but i want
Event when click Control after continue click Enter
(Example when u open IE u write name some web site(xxx) after u click Control + Enter---> xxx.com )

microsoc4-May-06 20:35

hi AnhTin! Smile | :)

so what you mean is when the user PRESS Control + Enter? Smile | :)

if your subclassing a control just override the OnKeyDown event

protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.KeyData == (Keys.Control | Keys.Enter))
   {
     //do something here
   }
}

or if your just using the control... attach an event handler on the KeyDown event then do the same condition that i added in the onkeydown event.

hope that helps! Smile | :)

Sounds like a lock file exists in the folder, which indicates that the database is already open.

And you should stick to adding data code as code, not using the design view. Database code never belongs in the UI layer, therefore should never be added with the designer.

Hi,

I have a producer, and each producer has a number of different facilities. I can manage to get the producer to select his different facilities and writing this to a database. But when retrieving the producer facilities and setting the items he selected to true is what I'm struggling to do. The SelectionMode is set to Multiple.

Can someone please share some advice. I have searched Google yesterday and today, but can't find anything.

If there any good articles, please let me know.

Regards,
ma se
