I have a Windows Form component that responds to the mouse wheel. On my test form it is the only control and works great, but in my application I have a browser control and serveral instances of that control. In this situation the control never responds to the scroll messages. I have tried setting the focus to it when the mouse enters and all sorts of other things. Any suggestions?
BTW, I'm betting James knows.

Off the top of my head...
in Form_Load
Application.AddMessageFilter(myComponent as IMessageFilter);
in your component
public class MyComponent : ......, IMessageFilter
{
......
bool IMessageFilter.PreFilterMessage(ref Message m)
{
if( m.Msg == 0x020A )
{
m.HWnd = this.Handle;
WndProc(ref m);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}Hopfully that'll work, I haven't tested it

Hi!
To make it very simple:
I have a Form, with one Button in it.
I want to fake a buttonpress on the Button in my code. In other words, create the buttonpressed event without clicking the button, so the Button will deliver the event to its registered listeners.
HOW? 
This is to be used in for example scripting of an Active X component (or any Form with controls) by sending keystrokes or mouseclicks etc.

myButton.PerformClick();

No, it's not that easy 
I want to send keystrokes/mouseclicks - to a Form.
Imagine an Active-X/COM object as a Form. I want to send keystrokes to it. Like "TAB"-"TAB"-"Enter"
Like an automation-tool or scripting tool (MS Scriptit).

Where exactly would I find the information on these functions? On MSDN I am assuming... It's a big place!

Do you guys have any reasons NOT to use hungarian notation in C#?
Like this:
int intMyAge = 12; // just kidding
bool blnILikeIt = true;
double dblSalary = 0.0;

Yes, it makes code easier to read and less ugly
Thanks to intellisense I get the data type when I type it or if I hover my mouse of the variable for parameters to methods.
The only one I commonly use is the boolean prefix 'b', and thats only if I can't make the variable sound like its a boolean. For example, bRotateBob instead of just RotateBob.
My $0.02 anyway

You must be cursing me, I use Hungarian notation as a matter of course, even though VA has always told me the type. I find it helpful if I have to track, for example, three things to do with a Bob, like the bitmap, the position and the velocity I can do this: bmBob, ptBob, and uh, ptBob. OK, not the best example.....
Funny, I never use m_ in C# though, I wonder why I don't.......

If its only used in one spot I prefer BobBitmap, BobLocation, BobVelocity.
If it is used elsewhere..
Bob.Bitmap, Bob.Location, Bob.Velocity 
Luckily I've spent just enough time in MFC to understand most of the notation. You did surprise me by not using m_ though

You are of course right, but I'd tend to a struct only if there will be more than one, like the Actors in the SS.

I surprised myself, I am a stickler for m_ in C++. I dunno if I got the convention from a book, or if I just didn't bother starting what I didn't do right at first.

Like you, I like HN and am trying to outgrow it with doing .NET development as in that environment it's simply not applicable for the following reasons.
1) In a VC++ app, I definitely use HN because MFC uses it. With so much time spent in the MFC source code, why have two separate coding standards? Go with MFC and use HN. However, With .NET, you're not stepping into MS code so their standards are not as important as with MFC.
2) As James already said, I can mouse over a variable in VS.NET and immediately see the variable's type.
3) With everything ultimately deriving from System.Object there's not the problem of mixing and matching types as in other environments.

I read somewhere:
The advantage of Hungarian notation is a reminder of the type of a variable.
In a true and pure OO language Hungarian notation would have no purpose. Here, variables are typeless - they contain an object, the type of which depends on the object itself, not the variable. There are no primitive types. In fact, Hungarian notation was developed for programming in C, which is not an object-oriented language.
If you have a type for a host variable, the proper way to name it is to use something like HostID. Then anyone can declare a variable to be of type HostID and use its operations without knowing or caring if it is a class, a structure, an integer, etc. This is called encapsulation and is a sign of good programming. It is one of the basic concepts of Object Oriented Programming. Notice that the HostID can be of any type and you don't care or want to know what type it is. You only need to know that it is the type required for a parameter to a function or what operations are available on the type.
Hungarian notation encodes type information into variable names. This is very useful in languages that don't keep track of types information for you. But in C#/Java it is completely redundant. Thus, the notation simply adds to obscurity.
Hungarian notation is, when all is said and done, a commenting technique. And the one great law of comments is that they lie. Comments are not syntax checked, there is nothing forcing them to be accurate. And so, as the code undergoes change during schedule crunches, the comments become less and less accurate.
In the .NET/Java environment, the development tool automatically detects the type of a variable when programming, so the need of viewing the type of a variable in the variable name disappears.

I want to have a group of 3 radio buttons and determine which one was checked without having to check if each one was checked. I am new to WinForms and have a web background where RadioButtons were indexed. Is there a way to do this? I will have many sets of these radio button groups and don't want to deal with the hassle of checking which one is checked with lots of code.
Thanks for your help.

anyone have a good book or reference or simply know how to do this:
im creating design time component that uses xml to populate a collection of control properties, which is then used to actually create and paste the controls to a form.
the difficult part is: once i have the collection of control definitions in the component, how do i actually paste them onto the form (ie: in the 'Component Designer generated code' area)?
do i open the cs file and write to it? that seems too crude.
how does msft do it?
im dying for a great (not good) book on advanced component and control coding in C#.

I believe you use Code DOM to do that, but I have no idea how to.
If you have a local bookshop (so you can thumb through it) take a look at .NET Windows Forms Custom Controls by Richard Weeks published by SAMS.
Here is a sample chapter.
Good luck,
James

I have created a C# messenger using .NET remoting to handle all the calls from the client apps. Now I`d like to add a "send file" option to the messenger. Is it possible using .NET remoting? Any suggestion?
|
|
|
|
|
[disclaimer]I know next to nothing about remoting[/disclaimer]
You could create a method which takes in pieces of the file; so you'd have something like this
BeginReceiveFile(long fileSize, string filename);
ReceiveFileChunk(byte [] bytes);
EndReceiveFile(string filename);
First you call BeginReceiveFile passing in the total file size and the filename, then you break the file into chunks; then when its all done you call EndReceiveFile to let the client/server know that its done.
Take what I say with a grain of salt though

Hi
I am first serialising an object and then to a *.dat
file
like this:
public void SerializeNow(DataSet dsout)
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream
(@"c:\scrpe1.dat",FileMode.Create);
BinaryFormatter b = new
BinaryFormatter();
b.Serialize(fs,dsout);
fs.Close();
}
and then I am trying to encrpt it using this Microsoft
code at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;q307010
Then I decrypt it which is good also.
Then I try to deserialise it where the problem occurs
and it gives me
an
error saying:
"Binary stream does not contain a valid BinaryHeader, 0
possible
causes,
invalid stream or object version change between
serialization and
deserialization"
If Do not do the inbetween encrypt and decrypt then
everything works
fine
no errors in deserialization.
What can be the problem???
Paresh.
