There are enough problems in this code that I'd say you need to buy a book and work through it.
As for your main question, you'd do this with delegates. Any other solution is a hack. form2 needs to be able to call a method in form1 through a delegate.

I put some buttons and plot some lines to connect them in a panel, if they are too big and the scrollbar appear automatically. and the size is changed then the scrollbar is changed also.
I have one question: during this, what is changed then? I found the panel size and clientsize are not changed. Because during this, the lines are not connected to the buttons anymore. I want to ajust the lines during this, but what is changed then?
thanks.

hi
I have two monitors and in PenTablet.cpl for a Wacom Bamboo table you can set the input to be taken across both monitors or either one simply by checking a box or two and it takes immediate effect.
I would like to write an app that allows me to change the input area from monitor 1 to monitor 2 and back, is there away to interact with a CPL programmatically or to see how they are doing it?
thanks

Currently I am writing a program which sends and receives messages
through serial port to a device. I am using C# and Microsoft Visual
studio 2005 for windows program. But my problem is when i try to write
in serial port from my windows a Timeoutexception is thrown. I use
SerialPort class in System.IO.Ports and for writing port i used
write() function under the built in class SerialPort. But when i use
hyperterminal , everything goes fine.
Can anyone say how can i overcome this problem?
Another thing , I have used SerialPort.GetPortNames() to get the list
of serial ports. But sometimes the list of serial ports that is
returned by this method is not same as the list of serial ports shown
in device manager.(Currently SerialPort.GetPortNames() return COM1
and COM3 but no existence of COM3 in device manager) Which method can
i use to get the actual list of serial ports?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
PORT NAMES
I guess your COM3 is a real serial port that is inaccessible because it is used for
an internal modem, so it would show up elsewhere in Device Manager (try modems),
but technically it still is a serial port, so yes FetPortNames() would show it,
as it also shows serial ports that are already in use.
A terminal emulator, or some other program, may prefer to only show available ports,
hence it would enumerate SerialPort.GetPortNames and test them for availability
(probably SerialPort.IsOpen does exactly that).
SERIAL OUTPUT
The serial output is buffered, similar to serial input. So each write adds data to the
output buffer, unless the buffer is full. The buffer gets emptied automatically towards
the serial cable (and its attached device), but this may fail when some kind of dataflow
has been specified and is currently in HOLD (as in: software dataflow and CTRL/S received,
or hardware dataflow and the appropriate control input pin asserted, I believe it is
DSR, readable through SerialPort.DsrHolding ).

Hi, i have several textBoxes on a form and i want to set a Boolean to false if a key is pressed in any of them.
Is there a quick method to do that instead of "textBox1_KeyPress", "textBox2_KeyPress" ect... ?
Thanks in advance

You can have one KeyPress event handler for all of the textboxes
|
|
|
|
|
or you may set Form.KeyPreview true and take care of it in Form.OnKeyDown/OnKeyPress
(possibly with checking object sender is a TextBox).

Thx allot it works.
I am also interested in Giorgi solution as i do not know how to do what he tells.

If you are using Visual Studio then select the button you want to set event handler for and switch to the event list in properties window. Find the KeyPress event there and choose the event handler you want to attach from the drop-down list. For each button select the same event.

I am sorry if I am sounding dumb. I want to use treeview control to display certain text of object and perform certain action by fetching values of the object on selection.
Suppose I have an Employee Class which have getters setters like Name,AGE, DOJ etc. What I want to show name of employee as treenode text and then upon selection wants to execute getters like DOJ,AGE etc to fetch other values of that employee object. Tree Structure could be something like:
Engineer Dept
|_ Employee1
|_ Employee2
Finance Dept
|_ Employee3
|_ Employee4
I am not being able to figure out how to that. I can loop thru object by calling some getName() to extract the Name but not successful to fetch other values. Do I write some search function which will check required 'Keyword' by going thru all Objects and then return an OBJECT to perform task?
pls help me out

What about using "tag"??
e.g:
<br />
myNode.value = objEmployee.Name;<br />
myNode.tag = objEmployee;<br />
<br />
Treeview.Nodes.Add(myNode);
There is a property called "tag" in each node.. so, you can use it for storing the object...

Michael's solution is what your looking for.
You could improve it slightly by overriding the ToString method in the Employee class to return the Name property, so myNode.Text = objEmployee.ToString();
The benefit of this is you can manipulate the data to be displayed within the class itself. Also, if you later need to add this data to a combo box or similar, these controls automatically use this method to determine what data to display (the Items collection is a collection of objects not strings).
I'm not sure why Microsoft didn't include a treeview.Nodes.Add(object item)

act, i typed just like that.. so.. I hope he might get some ideas at least..

yeah.. that's good idea.

Hi all
I am new to C#, we are developing an application and it must support many languages including Asian and arabic. the problem is in some cultures like Arabic, the control's position is different, apart from that, there are lots of labels and buttons in this application so how can we managed all these labels to automatically change their values and positions?
I managed to define resources and assembly but in this case I have to choose label by calling some methods to retrieve the correct label for current culture and this seems really hard and very untidy code. is there a way to define resource for each form so it automatically will be used when the culture changed
any suggestion would be of great help
thank you very much

Set the localizable property of form to true and design the form for different languages by setting the language property.
|
|
|
|
|
thanks yes it's working
but another question is how do you usually do this? I mean, consider we designed a form with default language now we keep the resx file somewhere and then we change the language and design new interface and then create new resx file, is this right?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, that is right. During runtime you can set the UI culture by setting the CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture property and the resources for that language will be loaded

I am adding a help menu with an about menu item.
I want to have a form open here.
I tried to add a form in the solution explorer but was unable to get it to open.
How could I make a form open in the Click event in a menu item?
