Rather than lose track of what's been posted in what order in the above message I thought i'd post a reply.
I've just checked the value of ClientSize and it's identical to the width of the control. Is this usual? Does it work differently depending on which control you call it on?

You could always use the Graphics objects MeasureString method using the font of the combobox. Iterate through the various strings in the combo for the longest one and then measure it.
Finally you can calculate and set the new width of the combobox:
cmbbox.Width = stringsize.Width + (cmbbox.Width - cmbbox.ClientSize);
Think that should be sufficient.
Hope that might be of some help.
Best regards!

hello,
I've linked a file to start my app when you open it (like .doc files open Word)
The problem is that the System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() gives the path of the file instead of the path where my exe resides.
Is there a way to change this back? (without hardcoding it)
thanks.

I found a living worth working for, but haven't found work worth living for.

Use Application.ExecutablePath

TNX !!
I used Application.StartupPath
|
|
|
|

You can get the path of your executable using this property:
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
Based on this, you can get the directory of the executable and make it the current working directory (by calling System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory with that path).

The System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath property has the following comment:
Gets the path for the executable file that started the application, including the executable name.
You can then extract the path from here.
You could also use the executing assembly and work from there.
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

Did you use Application.StartupPath?

Was it wrong or did you just post this because I replied to all of them the same thing

It seemed like a rubber stamp.
But seriously, if it works, great. But as a practice, use the other method. It covers you for all types.

What did you reply I missed it.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

As i want to add custom folder attributes in the root folder of namespace extension. While i am using the SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER like wise , I am getting the system folder attributes only. Instead of that i want to add my own folder attribute in the root. Say " Login As" in the root of the virtual namespace extension.
As i am quite novice in shell programming, please help me to resolve the same.

i am trying to read a memo field of database using oledb datareader after executing the query like below
datareader.GetValue(0).ToString() which only reading the first 255 chars in the memo field how could i read the whole contents at a time
please help.

|

What database are you using that has Memo fields?
|
|
|
|
|
Sounds like MS Access. If at first you don't succed give up go play XBox
Try something other than a datareader. Try a datatable or if you are only intrested in on field use a SQL statement and run a OleDbCommand.ExecuteScalar();

Try something like this:
dr.Read();
FieldLen = dr[MemoCol].Length;
char[] MemoBuffer = new char[FieldLen];
int startIndex = 0;
retVal = dr.GetChars(1, startIndex, MemoBuffer, 0, MemoBuffer.Length);
Console.WriteLine(MemoBuffer);

strMN is Variable Name.
Code :-
string[] strMName = strMethodName.ToString().Split(' ');
Console.WriteLine("Thread running");
for (int i = 0; i < strMName.Length; i++)
{
string strMN = strMName[i].ToString();
// create a thread for the Incrementer
Thread trdIncrementer = new Thread(new ThreadStart(strMN));
trdIncrementer.Start();
// create a thread for the Decrementer.
Thread trdDecrementer = new Thread(new ThreadStart(strMN));
trdDecrementer.Start();
}
Error "strMN is a Variable but it's used like Method"
Methods:-
///
/// demo function for Incrementer, counts up to 10.
///
public void Incrementer()
{
lock (trdIncrementer )
{
for (int counter = 0; counter < 10; counter++)
{
// assign the incrementer value and display the results
Console.WriteLine("Incrementer: {0}", counter);
}
}
}
///
/// demo function for Decrementer, counts down from 10.
///
public void Decrementer()
{
lock (trdDecrementer)
{
for (int counter = 10; counter >= 0; counter--)
{
// assign the decremented value and display the results
Console.WriteLine("Decrementer: {0}", counter);
}
}
}
help me out .
It's arrgent.

I have two thread.
I have more than one method in the array.
I want Two thread should run side by side.
and execute methods.
Suppopse array contains four method name:
1.A
2.B
3.C
4.D
So,
First thread take A method name from the array.
Second thread take B method name from the array.
Once Any of these two thread comleted their task then it has to take next C
method from the array....
Example:-
if suppose 1st thread complete before 2nd thread. it' should take 3rd method name then 2nd thread should not take 3rd method name from the array. it should take 4th method name from the array.
Thanks
