SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout are just to tell the form not to do the control updating as it's initializing a lot of controls. Should not affect it.
Try defining the control in the form, not in the Form_Load, and set each properties as what's set in InitializeComponent (Name, Size)

Wow, Dark....the solution!
Interesting that something as innocent to my newbie-self as setting the size of the object would have the effect of firing the OnPaint() method. I had assumed that the Size property would be created when the constructor hit the OnPaint method, but in fact it seems that the compiler will not fire OnPaint up at all without a Size being set.
FYI - this code added to either a method other than Form_Load or to Form_Load works just fine to add my control to the Form:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
myPBL = new ProgressBarLabel.ProgressBarLabel();
myPBL.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(15, 15);
myPBL.Name = "progressBarLabel2";
myPBL.ProgressBarBackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;
myPBL.ProgressBarWidthRatio = 0F;
myPBL.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(137, 23);
myPBL.TabIndex = 2;
myPBL.Text = "progressBarLabel1";
this.Controls.Add(myPBL);
}
If you comment out this line:
myPBL.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(137, 23);
I can reproduce the error. Really nice to know. Thanks for your help, Dark!

I got a problem with parsing dates from strings.
I know the dates are always in the English format but when you convert or parse dates from a string it depends on the current culture of PC where the program is running.
This means if the culture isn't English, it's not possible to properly parse any date.
Is there any way of ignoring the current culture when parsing dates?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the DateTime class has Parse and TryParse methods that optionally take an IFormatProvider,
so you can fix the acceptable format.
|
|
|
|
|
Or ParseExact ?
But try to always use an ISO 8601 format: yyyy-MM-dd

Thanks a lot!
The ISO 8601 format works great.

I've got an xcopy command in my post build event. It's meant to write my files to a network machine that will create the final packages. The drive X: is mapped to that network drive
It's using $ProjectPath to build the path but this is the command that i see being executed in the output window:
xcopy /E /Y "C:\Users\russell.jones\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\DataViewer\..\..\OutputFiles\*.*" "X:\My Build Files\Files"
There's no visible error and the filenames all scroll merrily past but the files never arrive in the destination.
Running the command in a shell works fine and the files copy over perfectly.
In case it makes a difference I'm using the cursèd OS but visual studio is running as admin. I have rights to the share and can browse delete files on the share via shell or UI.
has anyone else suffered similar problems in post build events?
Cheers
Russell

Hi all. I'm trying to create a custom ListView where I can display an overlay image over an item. Basically, I'm creating a simple document management system and I want to be able to mark a document as obsolete or locked and then display an image over the documents' icon to inform the user. I've never really delved into UI programming before and I'm not too sure how to go about it. I've started off with a class derived from ListView, I've set the OwnerDraw property to true and subscribed to the DrawItem event. Where do I go from here?
Edit:
By the way, I've sussed out the drawing of the items image, it's only the text I'm having trouble with. I've got this so far
if (this.View != View.Details)
{
if ((e.State & ListViewItemStates.Selected) != 0)
e.DrawText(TextFormatFlags.Bottom | TextFormatFlags.GlyphOverhangPadding | TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter | TextFormatFlags.WordBreak);
else
e.DrawText(TextFormatFlags.Bottom | TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter | TextFormatFlags.EndEllipsis);
}
However, when I select an item, the text populates the whole of the items bounds. I want it to extend down past the item as it does in explorer.

I am totally confused by your post. Why don't you just change the image of the item rather than do an OwnerDraw control?

I was going to do that (retrieve the file types' icon and then just add my image to it) but I've never played with OwnerDraw before and thought I'd give it a go. This is only a personal project so I've got the time to learn a few new bits.

I want to check whether the databse connected is read only or readwrite. IS there any way to check this.
thanks in advance.
|
|

|

You can execute a sql statement:
select databasepropertyex('<database name="">', 'Updateability');
return false means read-only

Hello everyone,
In my knowledge, float could only be represented by 7 decimal bits. But why in debugger, I can see more than 7 decimal bits?
(in my sample, Result2 is of 9 bits, other than 7, why?)
float TotalBonus = 199.321F;
float Worker1 = 100F;
float Worker2 = 300F;
float Result1 = TotalBonus * Worker1 / (Worker1 + Worker2);
float Result2 = TotalBonus * Worker2 / (Worker1 + Worker2);
thanks in advance,
George

Float is 32 bits and double is 64 bits.

Hi Alan,
I mean Decimal bits. Or precisely, decimal digits. Any ideas?
regards,
George

Hi Colin,
I read the link 2 months before, but I do not think it answers my specific question. In more precise, I do not think float has enough significand to represent 9 decimal digits, it has only 7.
Any comments?
regards,
George

Possibly the answer is here [^]:
By default, a Single value contains only 7 decimal digits of precision, although a maximum of 9 digits is maintained internally
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong.

Thanks CPallini,
Good to see you again. I am confused what means "internally" -- what debugger shows? Any definitions for the term?
regards,
George

|
|
|

Is that from the IEEE spec, or an artifact of x86 implementing 754 by keeping extra digits as the cheapest way to maintain the needed precision.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

I have created a Bar chart. Where On x axis I need to show labels retrieved from database..
But as the no of labels from database increases, Bar chart started to drop some labels , and show only few .....
How to solve the proble... As I needed to take data dynamically to plot on Chart... Is it a sizing problem ?
My code snippet:
double[] y= { some data}
BarItem myBar = myPane.AddBar("Sales Analysis", Null,y ,Color.Red);
string[] x = {some labels }
myPane.XAxis.MajorTic.IsBetweenLabels = true;
myPane.XAxis.Scale.TextLabels = x;
myPane.XAxis.Type = AxisType.Text;
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks.
