Hi.
I want to notify the user when a certain background event is triggered.
I do this by showing a small form in the task bar (it is already minimized) with
the ShowDialog() method.
The problem is, however that when the form appears in the task bar, it also gets focus, so if the user is writing something in Notepad (for ex.), he is interrupted by this.
Therefore, I need a solution to prevent the new window from getting the focus.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
PS: I know that this can also be done with a notify icon, but fro now that's my second option.

Why not do the following...
1. Set the popup form's Visible property to false, and WindowState to Minimized in the designer
2. Create a new instance of that form (the popup window) on initialization of the class that currently calls ShowDialog
3. Instead of calling ShowDialog, change the Visible property on the popup to true
Will this work, or does it have to be a modal dialog (or does it still get focus)?

In a project of mine I had the images within the global resources file. To gain access to those resources I used:
toolStripLabel1.Image = global::MyProject.Properties.Resources.CloseImg;
Of course I manually inserted the images in the project's resource file.
Hope it helps.

hi i am making an applicaiton that draws the rectangles using mouse,when mouse is down it takes the starting points of rectangle(x,y) and when mouse moves then ending point of rectangle are taken and rectangle is drawn,here is code of that
<br />
private void frmMedtronic_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if (mIsMouseDown)<br />
{<br />
if (e.Location.X > mrctRectangle.X)<br />
mrctRectangle.Width = e.Location.X - mrctRectangle.X;<br />
else
{<br />
mrctRectangle.X = e.Location.X; <br />
mrctRectangle.Width = e.Location.X - mrctRectangle.X;<br />
}<br />
<br />
if (e.Location.Y > mrctRectangle.Y)<br />
mrctRectangle.Height = e.Location.Y - mrctRectangle.Y;<br />
else
{<br />
mrctRectangle.Y = e.Location.Y; <br />
mrctRectangle.Height = e.Location.Y - mrctRectangle.Y;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Invalidate();<br />
}<br />
and in formpaint drawrectangle function is called.
The problem is in moving rectangle toward left or moving upwards,as in this case ending points are greater then starting and in drawing as widht and height of rectangle can only b positive values not negative,i am having trouble in moving towards upward and left as point of screen are from 0 and not negative as in openGL, so suggest me what to do.
Regards.

Try this:
int StartX = (e.Location.X > mrctRectangle.X ? e.Location.X : mrctRectangle.X);
int StartY = (e.Location.Y > mrctRectangle.Y ? e.Location.Y : mrctRectangle.Y);
int EndX = (e.Location.X < mrctRectangle.X ? e.Location.X : mrctRectangle.X);
int EndY = (e.Location.Y < mrctRectangle.Y ? e.Location.Y : mrctRectangle.Y);
You have here the start and end points of an rectangle. Hope it helps.

Hi,
this looks the easiest to me: store MouseDown point in pt1, current MouseMove position in pt2,
and in OnPaint for both x and y do:
xMin= x1<=x2 ? x1 : x2;
width= x1+x2-xMin -xMin;
ADDED: then Graphics.DrawRectangle(..., xMin, yMin, width, height);
BTW: You might want to add 1 to width/height to always see the rectangle...

Hello,
I would like to know the way to use the Serialport class for receiving the data from more than a port at a time. I mean, how to create multiple threads at a time so as to read the data from multiple ports?
Techie..

|

There's no restriction on the number of SerialPort instances can be created, so all you need to do is create a SerialPort instance for eacht port you want to use and add eventhandlers for each ports DataReceived event.
Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

hi everyone!
i created a service and an installer.
the service works fine when testing it as an executeable.
when i install it and choose "automatic" (start mode) then it does not start but displays a message telling me, services in idle mode are sometimes stopped.
i guess i forgot to add an option to not allow termination or similar.
could anyone tell me where the problem might be located?
thanks!
stephan.

There's an exception occurring somewhere in your startup procedure. Check the event viewer to see if something has appeared in there - and log any exceptions that you encounter/consume.

Well, you're probably better off using web services for this sort of thing rather than interpreting web pages. If the latter is what you require take a look at HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse - this will allow you to simulate the communication a web-browser uses and give you a response stream from the server you can parse.

What you are doing wrong is that you want to change the label's text property from another thread than the one is was created on. You need to use Invoke and InvokeRequired.

Fianlly i got answer by invoking the label
public void DisplayTimeEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
this.label1.Invoke(
(MethodInvoker)delegate()
{
label1.Text = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now);
}
);
}

As Andrei has stated above, the rule is that only the thread which creates a control should update it.
You could alternatively use the System.Windows.Forms timer, as this always fires on the primary GUI thread and no thread switch is required.

Finally i got the answer by invoking the Label. Thank u
public void DisplayTimeEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
this.label1.Invoke(
(MethodInvoker)delegate()
{
label1.Text = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now);
}
);

I have this application that sends mail to a mail server.The server uses Domino Lotus iNote to distribute and display the mails.But when a user receives the mail,the column that suppose to show the "Who" is always blank/empty making the mail look more like a spam.And some users don't care to open it thinking that it is a spam.
Can anyone help me out with how to fill this "Who" column.
I use:
MailMessage myMail = new MailMessage();
myMail.From = "myname@me.com";
myMail.To = "emailTxt.Text";
myMail.Fields.Add("SenderName","myname");
myMail.Subject = "You Have Been Appraised!";
myMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
myMail.Body = "Go and confirm or contest your mail! ";
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "10.12.19.105";
SmtpMail.Send(myMail);
I don't know if there is another parameter that is required to be able to send an email to domino lotus iNote.
