You totally cannot change your base class. You could make an intermediate class, which makes those properties private to THAT class, and do your real work in a class derived from that, but what a tangled web you want to weave. Why do you want to make things private to a class you don't have access to ?

I'm trying to make a visually reversed trackbar.
For example, pretend the trackbar's value is 100 (out of 300). The public member "rValue" would tell you that the value is actually 200 (meaning Maximum - (Value - Minimum) ). And, if the user set "rMaximum" to a certain value, it would adjust the Value accordingly (to keep it the same amount below Maximum, not the same amount above Minimum).

OK. Well, why not override the Value method instead and have it track in reverse ?

Two responses...
1) Value is a method? I thought it was just an int member... I suppose it would be most efficient to make it one of those funky methods that look like members to outsiders, so that whenever it was changed the little tick thing would move...
2) If I try to override it, I can just call ((TrackBar)base).Value from inside my class, right?
I'll give it a shot, thanks!

1 - OK, I mixed my terminology. I doubt it's an int. I meant it's a property.
2 - Yes, if you use new and not override, I'd expect you can do that.

Well, this is what I tried (code below). However, the compiler says "Use of keyword 'base' is not valid in this context ". I thought that base was like this , but for accessing a parent class. How should I do it?
public class ReverseTrackBar : TrackBar
{
private new int Value
{
get { return (((TrackBar)base).Maximum - (((TrackBar)base).Value - this.Minimum)); }
set { ((TrackBar)base).Value = (((TrackBar)base).Maximum - ((int)value - this.Minimum)); }
}
private new int Maximum
{
get { return ((TrackBar)base).Maximum; }
set
{
int val = this.Value;
((TrackBar)base).Maximum = (int)value;
this.Value = val;
}
}
public ReverseTrackBar()
{
this.Value = 0;
}
}

I guess the 'new' keyword is hiding the base value.

No, that's not it. See the message I posted at the same time as you...

Oh, I guess you don't have to cast base to a type because the type is already known (the type I'm inheriting from).

The error is not related to the use of the keyword 'base', but to the fact that you try to cast the base to type TrackBar. You don't need to do that. Remove all of these casts (e.g. ((TrackBar)base).Value should be base.Value) and the compiler error will disappear.

I think the solution to your problem is this:
Hide the property of the base class, but make the access modifier the same as in the base class, i.e. public.
Next, add the modifier protected to the set-accessor (.NET 2.0 required). The get-accessor cannot be protected as well, but I don't think that's a problem, I fact I think it's good practice to keep the get-accessor accessable.
You'll get something like this:
public new int Value<br />
{<br />
get { return (base.Maximum - (base.Value - this.Minimum)); }<br />
protected set { base.Value = base.Maximum - (value - this.Minimum); }<br />
}
That should work.

Yes, that's close to what I ended up with.
The set accessor is fine to be public because I can perform the reversal of data right there. I just didn't want the "outside" to have access to the base class's Value and Maximum properties. All I needed to do was overload them with new , and now it works beautifully.
Thank you, everyone! Case closed.

Hi
I just want to know, I am busy building a gallery websit, how do I by using c# in Visual Studio 2005 activate a button next to the picture to download the image to the users harddrive?
Please help.
Thanx.

You can't force a direct download, but you can give the user the option to download it.
Make a proxy page that sends the image as response with the content type application/octet-stream. The browser won't display it, but ask the user what to do with it.

Hi,
I sorted a txt file using an arraylist() which contains over 600 words.
I just don't know how to write them to a file. I tried a few things.
This is my code:
FileStream sortWords = File.Open(@"sortwords.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(sortWords);
ArrayList getLines = new ArrayList();
string linesForArray = null;
while ((linesForArray = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
getLines.Add(linesForArray);
}
getLines.Sort();
FileStream newDoc = File.Open(@"sortedList.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(newDoc);
Any suggestions how to write it to a text file?
Thanks in advance!

Use foreach to iterate over the strings and write them ?

Google broken where you live ?
You can download the express edition, but any other edition is what we like to call stealing.

What is a good way to implement a tree view search where using wild card is possible?
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty generic question...
You have to traverse the tree and for each node find out if the node matches the seach criteria.
You can read about tree treversal on wikipedia[^], for example. They mainly disuss binary trees there, but you can easily adjust for nodes having more than 2 children.
For the comparison you could use a regular expression and test each tree node's text if it matches the expression.

Hi,
So here's something I hadn't considered when I started developing my application about a year ago. It now has dozens of screens, and for just about all of them the graphics turn out wrong when I change my DPI settings from 96dpi to 120dpi. I've read some MS articles on this, but they basically state "rewrite your UI code".
Since this could take months I'm wondering if there's any way to map my pixel-based scaling to take the dpi-setting into account, or any other solution. Do any of you have experience in this? Is there anyone that has a fix or a suggestion for this that doesn't come down to "rewrite your code"? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
