Actually it has that control but it need to be declared. But when i made it into class, but in class it can't be done.
|
|

|

OK, so the control does not exist ? You didn't say that. In the properties window of the designer, make sure the GenerateMember property is true.
And, choose a better name for it.

The problem is that you have abstracted the class from the control, and you have control specific code: you should use
protect override void OnmouseMouseMove(System.Object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) then you should be able to access the left and top property's through the sender object
|
|
|
|

How to access the left and top property's through the sender object? Can you give example. i am new to c# and need guide..
|
|
|
|

Sounds to me like you need to learn some C# before you try to write whatever it is you are trying to write.
If you handle an event for a control, within your main class, then you have two incoming variables, like this
protected void OnPaneResize(object sender, EventArgs ea)
{
}
You can then do this:
protected void OnPaneResize(object sender, EventArgs ea)
{
Control c = sender as Control;
if (c != null)
{
c.Left = 5; // or whatever
}
}

Hello,
I am using C# and DirectShow making a Windows Application to play DVD. I would like to be able to display the name of the DVD movie which is playing in the application.
I was wondering if you know of any API that I can use to get this information.
Thank you very much and have a great day.

You should be able to get the name of hte disc, the name that Windows displays. There is no movie name apart from the disc name encoded onto the disc, so no API can get it.

Hello Christian,
Thanx for the reply. Since your last message I have done some research and have come to conclusion that base on your advise I should use "System.Management namespace" to get required information.
Could you be kind enough to let me know if this is the correct way to get this done?
Thank you so much for your help.

I have the following code that creates a thumbnail for a given image and saves the new image to disk. It works but the images cannot be displayed by MSIE, and it appears that they are a different format than jpeg. Here's the code:
private void MakeThumbImage(string sSrcFilename, string sDestFilename)
{
Image orgImg = Image.FromFile(sSrcFilename);
int iHeight = orgImg.Height;
int iWidth = orgImg.Width;
int iNewHeight = iHeight;
int iNewWidth = iWidth;
if (orgImg.Width >= 96)
{
iNewWidth = 96;
}
else
{
iNewWidth = orgImg.Width;
}
double ratio = (double)iWidth / iNewWidth;
iNewHeight = (iHeight / (int)ratio);
Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort myCallback = new Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback);
Image thumb = orgImg.GetThumbnailImage(iNewWidth, iNewHeight, myCallback, IntPtr.Zero);
if (thumb != null)
{
thumb.Save(sDestFilename);
}
orgImg.Dispose();
thumb.Dispose();
}
private bool ThumbnailCallback()
{
return false;
}
I need to create a thumb for whatever file type it is (e.g., gif, png, jpg).
Thanks,
Mark

It may be a bmp. You should read up on the Save method, and how to specify a file format with it.

I have been trying to identify a solution to this problem for some time. I have a control on the form. I change the location of that control on a path from an ending point back to the starting point.
I accomplish this by mappint the path incrementally along 64 points along a line. I put all of those points into an array and then loop through the array with a for-each loop. This part works fine, but now, here is the problem.
When the control is displayed on the form at its new location, I would like for that location image to be cleared before displaying the control at its next location. The way it displays now is that there is a path of displayed locations for the control from its ending point back to its starting point, kind of like ghost images.

You are only redrawing the control itself. As you are not giving control to the system until the loop ends, the form never gets a chance to redraw itself.
I would suggest that you use a timer control to move the control, that way the form gets a chance to erase the old control.
By the way: you use a lot of code to create the array, when it can easily be done in a loop.

How could it be done in a loop, and how would a timer be used to get the form to redraw itself? I have tried to apply code like this but it does not work properly.
private static void ProvideDragPathReturnToParent(Control ctrl, int intX_end, int intY_end,
int intX_start, int intY_start)
{
int x = 0, y = 0;
if ((intX_end > intX_start) & (intY_end > intY_start))
{
for (x = intX_end; x >= intX_start; x--)
{
for (y = intY_end; y >= intY_start; y--)
{
ctrl.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x, y);
ctrl.Update();
}
}
}
else if ((intX_end < intX_start) & (intY_end < intY_start))
{
for (x = intX_end; x <= intX_start; x++)
{
for (y = intY_end; y <= intY_start; y++)
{
}
}
}
else if ((intX_end > intX_start) & (intY_end < intY_start))
{
for (x = intX_end; x <= intX_start; x++)
{
for (y = intY_end; y <= intY_start; y++)
{
}
}
}
else if ((intX_end < intX_start) & (intY_end > intY_start))
{
for (x = intX_end; x <= intX_start; x++)
{
for (y = intY_end; y <= intY_start; y++)
{
}
}
}
}
The problem here is that I do not know when the control will fit each of the conditions for position on the form. The x and y coordinates for the start and end points are based, I presume, upon PointToClient coordinates which goes from (0, 0) to (max, max) screen cordinates. However, I do not know the results of where it will be dropped.
Also, the x-coordinates must be completed before moving on to the y-coordinates. I would need to have one x-coordinate completed before moving on to the y-Coordinate, and then go back again to the next x-coordinate. I would request some input as to how to proceed.

We start with this:
new_phoenix wrote: and how would a timer be used to get the form to redraw itself?
If you use a timer to trigger the movement of the control, the main message pump would handle messages in between the timer events. If you just change the location of the control, both the control and the previous area of the control will be invalidated. This creates messages that will be handled by the message pump. The message pump will call the Paint event of the control and the form, which will repaint the control and the part of the form that was invalidated.
new_phoenix wrote: How could it be done in a loop
The x position of a point on the line can be interpolated like this:
x = startX + (endX - startX) * index / 64
where index is the index of the point from 0 to 64.
The y position can be calculated in the same way.
You don't even have to create an array of points, you can just calculate the position directly in the timer event.

Forgive my ignorance, Guffa, but I have never heard of using a timer control to trigger the movement of a control. I would need an example because all that I am aware of that a Timer control could do would be to provide time ticks().
Also, because I am implementing this code in a function that is part of a sealed static class, I do not have access to the this keyword, or any timer controls. How would I proceed with these suggested and appreciated improvments?

Drag a timer control to the form, set it's Interval property as you like, and create a Tick event for it.
Create a member variables in the form to hold the current index of the movement and the starting and ending points:
private int _index, startX, startY, endX, endY;
In the method for the Tick event you put the code that changes the Location of the control. Example:
private void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
int x = startX + (endX - startX) * 64 / _index;
int y = startY + (endY - startY) * 64 / _index;
MyLittleControl.Location = new Point(x, y);
_index++;
if (_index > 64) {
Timer1.Enabled = false;
}
}
To start the movement, set the variables for starting and ending point, set _index to zero, and set Timer1.Enabled to true.

Guffa:
I tried to implement your suggestions but appeared to have hit a snag. First, the mathematics for the formula do not appear to work properly. For example, if the startX point for the first plotted point is zero and the endX point is 700, then the value for x would be 44800 since 0 + (700 - 0) * 64 / 1 = 44800. Then when second point is plotted it would be 22400, and the third point would be 14933.33.
The second issue is that what if the contol is dropped at a point in which the end value for x and/or y is less than the start values? This presents the possibility in which a control could be dropped above and to the right, or below and to the right, or above and to the left, or below and to the left, or directly above, or directly below, or directly left, or directly right, or an any place on the form.
For this reason, I believe that it would be necessary to apply the point plotting strategy as mentioned in the original message, by plotting 64 points. However, I am intrigued with your statement of utilizing the Timer control as a method to get control back from the process before showing the control at its next location.
Is there a way to get the timer clock to trade control back and forth between showing the control and ticking another period of time. In this way, the desired effect would be achieved. The control would show at its next plotted point, but the previous display of the control would be removed from the screen. This would effectively remove the trail of controls before returning control back to the process of showing its path from the drop point back to the dragged from point (ie starting point). Could you kindly show me how to shift control back and forth between the timer control and the plotting/displaying loop of updated control locations?

Yes, you are right. It should be (endX - startX) * _index / 64 instead of (endX - startX) * 64 / _index.
new_phoenix wrote: The second issue is that what if the contol is dropped at a point in which the end value for x and/or y is less than the start values?
That is not a problem. In that case endX - startX becomes a negative value, so the control moves in the other direction from the start point.
new_phoenix wrote: Is there a way to get the timer clock to trade control back and forth between showing the control and ticking another period of time.
That is the entire purpose of the Elapsed event. The timer triggers the event for every tick, making control go to the event handler code. Once the event handler code has done it's work, control is returned to normal operation.

Hi.I'm new in c#. Can anyone tell me hoe to convert this coding to a class?
#region dragDrop panel3
private bool isDragging3=false;
public int x3,y3;
private void panel3_MouseDown(System.Object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
isDragging3 = true;
x3 = e.X;
y3 = e.Y;
}
private void panel3_MouseUp(System.Object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
isDragging3 = false;
}
private void panel3_MouseMove(System.Object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (isDragging3 == true)
{
panel3.Left = e.X + panel3.Left - x3;
panel3.Top = e.Y + panel3.Top - y3;
}
}
#endregion
|
|
|
|
|
To make a class of that code, you just put the code in a class, but what is it that you wish to accomplish by doing so?

One way to do this would be to derive a class from Panel and overload the OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp and OnMouseMove methods.
class myPanel : Panel
{
...
protect override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
{
isDragging3 = true;
x3 = e.X;
y3 = e.Y;
}
...
}

Started out with nothing and still have most of it left!

|

thank for the solution. It's very helpful
|
|
|
|
|
There are error to compile this code because panel3.left is not defined in the class. How to overcome this?
if (isDragging3 == true)
{
panel3.Left = e.X + panel3.Left - x3;
panel3.Top = e.Y + panel3.Top - y3;
}
|
|
|
|
|
Most likely panel3 IS the class (i.e. this)
