new to tablet pc application. is it possible to get noncontionous regions on which i can ink on a single form. i need ascii representation of character followed by its glyph for all the characters on a single form.i want to define area for each character separately. the stroke for one region should not interfere with the ink area of other.
right now i m using groupbox as a control and line control dll to draw horizontal lines so as to draw glyph in defined area.
InkOverlay mInkoverlay;
mInkoverlay = new InkOverlay(groupBox1);
mInkoverlay.Enabled = true;
thanks in anticipation

I'm making a vs.net addin which has a custom treeview, in a custom toolwindow.
I'm trying to replicate some of the basic features of the solution-explorer treeview but i have come across a snag when trying to show a tooltip for a partially visible treenode, when my treeview control doesn't have focus. Basically ToolTip.Show(...) fails to show a tooltip when my treeview isn't focused.
vs.net can surprisingly do this in its solution-explorer treeview so long as vs.net has focus... it's treeview doesn't need focus. You can be typing away in the ide and mouse hover over a half visible file in the solution explorer and see its tooltip. I want that functionality for my treeview :P

Can you trap the mouseover event on the node (does the node have a mouseover event) even if the control is not selected? Then handle the tooltip manually.
If the node does not then use the treeview and hittest. Still it will be a lot of faffing about to get a tooltip.

yes in my derived treeview i override OnMouseMove and this code does seem to execute even if the control isnt focused... atleast the breakpoint fires when i slide the mouse over the non-focused control. It's just the call to toolTip.Show(...) which fails to display a tooltip when the control has no focus. hmm.
ok i checked out the Tooltip class with reflector and i see the problem. "IsWindowActive"... microsoft explicitly checks for being "active" before allowing a tooltip to show... i'll do more digging to see if their's an acceptable alternative to being focused.
//from .net framework ToolTip class
public void Show(string text, IWin32Window window, int x, int y)
{
if (window == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("window");
}
if (this.HasAllWindowsPermission && this.IsWindowActive(window))
{
NativeMethods.RECT rect = new NativeMethods.RECT();
UnsafeNativeMethods.GetWindowRect(new HandleRef(window, Control.GetSafeHandle(window)), ref rect);
int pointX = rect.left + x;
int pointY = rect.top + y;
this.SetTrackPosition(pointX, pointY);
this.SetTool(window, text, TipInfo.Type.Absolute, new Point(pointX, pointY));
}
}
|

Then you'll find there is something buried under NativeMethods.RECT that needs addressing, 2 weeks from now you will be pushing 1s and 0s at the hardware  .

I have a process, i can start, and hide working fine, but i want to read from the console program, when i runs, not after, i tried to run a timer, anbd read at the tick, but my program just crashes and when it not do, i get nothing at all.
startInfo= new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
startInfo.Arguments ="/C uus.exe "+ arg.ToString();
startInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
this.timer1.Enabled=true;
this.listBox1.Items.Clear();
p= Process.Start(startInfo);
Application.DoEvents();
void Timer1Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string str="";
str=p.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
if(str != null)
{
this.Text=str.ToString();
this.listBox1.Items.Add(str);
}
Application.DoEvents();
}
So what do i do to solve this?
Update: I tried a solution i found now My program don't crash anymore, but it also don't recevie any data at all
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute=false;
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow=true;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput=true;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError=true;
proc.StartInfo.FileName="uus.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments=arg;
proc.OutputDataReceived += new System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventHandler(SortOutputHandler);
proc.Start();
proc.BeginOutputReadLine();
void SortOutputHandler(object o,System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
string str="";
string str2="";
str=e.Data.ToString();
if(str!=null && str!="")
{
this.listBox1.Items.Add(str.ToString());
this.Text=str.ToString();
}
str2=proc.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
if(str2!=null && str2!="")
{
this.lsw1.Items.Add(str2.ToString());
}
}
The program is a process whichs take some arguments, and if no error happends run and close is self, what i'am trying to do is run the process, read how long the process is done with the task, while it does the task not after, and write it in my program
some body have a working solution?

Hi,
there are several correct ways to read data from another process' output (and/or error) stream:
1.
read all at once from a stream as in string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();. The main drawback is this only produces anything when the process p has finished.
2.
use a separate thread which synchronously reads the output/error stream (that is two threads if both streams are required)
3.
use the DataReceived event; you should not have Read calls in the handler!
MSDN says: The event is enabled during asynchronous read operations on StandardOutput. To start asynchronous read operations, you must redirect the StandardOutput stream of a Process, add your event handler to the OutputDataReceived event, and call BeginOutputReadLine. Thereafter, the OutputDataReceived event signals each time the process writes a line to the redirected StandardOutput stream, until the process exits or calls CancelOutputRead.
BTW: you have way too many ToString() calls in your code; it does not make sense at all to call ToString() on a string object; e.g. DataReceivedEventArgs.Data is a string all by itself.

1. If you have read my post, you will know that solution wont work, that it reads after, not while.
2. I dont know here what you mean.
3. Ise'nt it what i have tried in the lower code? if, I get no data at all.

Hi,
1.
Why do you ignore the documentation, it says:
The event is enabled during asynchronous read operations on StandardOutput. To start asynchronous read operations, you must redirect the StandardOutput stream of a Process, add your event handler to the OutputDataReceived event, and call BeginOutputReadLine. Thereafter, the OutputDataReceived event signals each time the process writes a line to the redirected StandardOutput stream, until the process exits or calls CancelOutputRead.
2.
The DataReceived event executes on a ThreadPool thread, not on the main thread; so you are not allowed to touch any Control, however you could use Console.WriteLine() for debugging purposes. To touch Controls, you need the Control.InvokeRequired/Control.Invoke pattern.
BTW: Setting Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls false is NOT the solution.

Ise'nt that an redirect?

proc.OutputDataReceived += new System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventHandler(SortOutputHandler);
Ise'nt that an event handler for the OuptuDataRecevide?

proc.Start();

Ise'nt that a Call to BeginOutputReadLine?

I still get no data.

OK? all the other time i have code treate and i wasen allowed i was getting a cross thread error, with i don't do here.
futher more have i change my code af bit, do reflect invoek
private delegate void TextAdderDelegate(string str);
void TextAdder(string str)
{
if(this.lsw1.InvokeRequired==true)
{
Invoke(new TextAdderDelegate(TextAdder),new object[] {str});
}
else
{
this.lsw1.Items.Add(str);
}
}
void SortOutputHandler(object o,System.Diagnostics.DataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
string str="";
if(e!=null)
{
if(e.Data!=null)
{
str=e.Data.ToString();
}
}
TextAdder(str);
}
But I still not get any data.
And when i make a breakpoint, it only runs when the process finished.

hi
i want to load a lot of images to the memory.
of course every bitmap in the memory takes about 10 times more then in the file;
so (if there is no other way) i'm loading the image as a byte array:
private byte[] FileToByteArray (string path)
{
byte[] bytes = null;
using (System.IO.Stream stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
using (System.IO.BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(stream))
{
bytes = reader.ReadBytes((int)reader.BaseStream.Length);
}
}
return bytes;
}
and store it into a byte array variable.
when i need the image i use:
private Image ByteArrayToImage(byte[] byteArrayIn)
{
if (byteArrayIn == null)
return null;
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArrayIn);
Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
return returnImage;
}
so far so good, the problem is if the image need to be change i send it to a function and get new bitmap, now i want to save it back to byte array, so if i use:
private byte[] ImageToByteArray(System.Drawing.Image imageIn)
{
if (imageIn == null)
return null;
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
imageIn.Save(ms,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
imageIn.Dispose();
return ms.ToArray();
}
i get a byte array that is about 10 times bigger. so how can i get a smaller byte array?

Hi,
several remarks:
1.
Image size (the file or memory footprint) depends on the image format; e.g. ImageFormat.Jpeg would be more economical than ImageFormat.Png due to the compression used.
2.
When a class offers a public Dispose() method, you should call it as soon as you are done with the object. MemoryStream is one of those.
3.
you must be aware that, the way you do things, causes each image to exist several times in memory, and being copied from one format to another: byte[], MemoryStream, Image
4.
are you sure you need byte arrays at all? maybe you could perform image operations on the MemoryStream directly. OTOH you might consider using a Bitmap constructor that builds a Bitmap from an existing array, without copying (see the ones with an IntPtr parameter)
5.
assuming your images/streams/arrays each take more than some 80KB, they may all end up in the "huge-object-heap" which does not have compaction; as a result after several operations you may run out of memory although your memory-in-use count may well be below your working set.

Actually you don't know that for sure, it depends on the images.. what if they're diagrams or pictures of text? The OP didn't say..

The OP stated "every bitmap in the memory takes about 10 times more then in the file" so I assume compression has been doing a fine job on his original images and stands a good chance of doing the same on the final images.

Fair enough, but, who knows right? PNGOUT-ed PNGs can be a lot smaller than PNGs compressed by the .NET PNG compressor..
|
|
|
|

given time the OP will tell.

i need the png format because i'm useing the alpha channel. how does other programs do that ?
for example powerPoint ? in powerPoint i can put tens of images and the memory grows only with a few mb ?
|
|
|
|

Once you create the Bitmap object, in memory, the image is no longer compressed, but is a full 32-bit render of what the file says it should look like.

Just use the File.ReadAllBytes method.

From that I can deduct that you either managed to change the image into an image that is ten times larger (e.g. three times larger in both x and y axis), or you have changed it into something that the Save method could not compress at all. Could you post example image files somewhere for examination?
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

i managed to see the problem: i'm loading jpg files, but in my app i need it as png file ( because of the alpha channel )so when i save it to the memoryStreem as ImageFormat.Png the png is less compressed,is it possible to compress the png file to something like 0.5 mb - 1 mb like jpg ?
|
|
|
|
|
That's hard when the source is a jpg. The PNG will preserve all the JPG compression artifacts resulting in a much bigger file (compared to what it would have been if the original source had directly been PNG-compressed) which essentially doesn't contain any extra useful information - except possibly for the Alpha channel (if present).
|
|
|
|

No, there is no lossy compression for PNG. The high compression rate of JPEG is simply done by throwing away the data that has least visual impact on the result.
It would of course be possible to write your own compression algorithm that does that, but it would be very hard to get the same quality - compression ratio as JPEG compression, as the compression used in a PNG is not at all designed for lossy compression.
Another alternative that is a bit more promising would be to extract the color data and alpha channel separately, and compress the color data as a regular JPEG image and the alpha data as a grayscale JPEG image.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
