Re: Click event problem - C# Discussion Boards

Does anyone know why the click event won't fire when the opacity is set to 0?

No idea, but it may well be that when opacity is 0 its visibility is effectively set to false and so click events can't be generated. Doesn't really help, but a possible rationalisation Big Grin | :-D

Ahh, that may very well be true, I guess that leads me to my next problem, locating the mouse coord. when outside the form? Ah, this is so much damn fun. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

That part is easy Smile | :)

Use the static MousePosition property on the Control class. This property calls ::GetCursorPos and returns the result, so the behavior behind it is the same.

oops typo....heres the correction.

string CurrentDirectory
CurrentDirectory =Environment.CurrentDirectory.ToString();

private void OpenDirect(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(CurrentDirectory+@"\FolderIwantToOpen")
}

This seems to work for me:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	string s;
	s = Environment.CurrentDirectory.ToString();
	System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(s);

}

You will need to identify the folder you want as a string field however, which you didn't do above.

[C#] Validation class for events?

Hi,

I develop an application that have 20 windows forms with many TextBoxes.
All TextBoxes have the same validation...
I write in all classes the same validation like that:

[CODE]
//if the user press a key down at txtDisplacement we check which one was pressed down
#region KeyDownInTxtDisplacement code
private void KeyDownInTxtDisplacement(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
CheckWhichKeyDown(e);
}
#endregion

//if the user press a key down at txtModel we check which one was pressed down
#region KeyDownInTxtModel code
private void KeyDownInTxtModel(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
CheckWhichKeyDown(e);
}
#endregion

//we check which key is pressed
//if key Enter or Return or Tab is pressed
//we go throw DoWhenOneTextBoxIsMarkedRed()
#region CheckWhichKeyDown code
private void CheckWhichKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if(e.KeyCode==Keys.Enter || e.KeyCode==Keys.Return || e.KeyCode==Keys.Tab)
{
ValidateThis();
}
}
#endregion

//when special key is press we enable the button
#region ValidateThis code
private void ValidateThis()
{
cmdAddToDataBase.Enabled = true;
}
#endregion
[/CODE]

CheckWhichKeyDown and ValidateThis should be in one validation class.
How I can write a validation class that validate ALL TextBoxes from all classes.
Any ideas?
Or do you know some sample validation classes available on www?

Sure, I would highly suggest this so you aren't rewriting code all the time, simply add a new class within your application, possibly like the following:

namespace test
{
  /// <summary>
  /// Summary description for Validation.
  /// </summary>
  public class Validation
  {
	public Validation()
	{}
		
	public bool CheckWhichKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs kea)
	{	
		if(kea.KeyValue == 13)	
			return true;
		else
			return false;
	}

	public bool SomeOtherFunctionHere()
	{
		return true;
	}
  }
}

Then, say for example in any of your KeyDown event handlers you can implement it like the following, keep in mind my namespace for this example is titled test.

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
	test.Validation v = new Validation();
	if(v.CheckWhichKeyDown(e) == true)
		MessageBox.Show("You hit enter.");
	else
		MessageBox.Show("You hit " + e.KeyData.ToString());
}

The idea is that you are creating an instance of a class, your validation class, and then invoking methods against that instance. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I write a new class... like this:

[CODE]

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows.Forms.ComponentModel;

namespace CarTrade
{
///

/// Summary description for TestTextBox.
///

public class TestTextBox : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
{
private bool booOnlyNumericCharsAllowed;
private bool booSpecialKeyIsPress;

public TestTextBox.
{

}

//---------------------------------------------------------------
//---------------------------PROPERTIES--------------------------
//---------------------------------------------------------------

//we allowed in the TestTextBox only numeric chars
//when the user set the proparty OnlyOnlyNumericCharsAllowed
//to true
internal bool OnlyNumericCharsAllowed
{
get
{
//return the value how OnlyOnlyNumericCharsAllowed
//is set
return booOnlyNumericCharsAllowed;
}
set
{
if(value)
{
this.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.DoWhenKeyPress);
}

booOnlyNumericCharsAllowed = value;
}
}

internal bool SpecialKeyIsPress
{
get
{
return booSpecialKeyIsPress;
}
set
{
if(value)
{
this.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.CheckIfSpecialKeysArePressed);
}

booSpecialKeyIsPress = value;
}
}

private void CheckIfSpecialKeysArePressed(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
bool booEnter = e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter;
bool booReturn = e.KeyCode==Keys.Return;
bool booTab = e.KeyCode==Keys.Tab;

if(booEnter || booReturn || booTab)
{

}
}

private void DoWhenKeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if((e.KeyChar < 48 || e.KeyChar > 57) && e.KeyChar != 8 )
{
e.Handled = true;
}

if(Text.Length == 0 && e.KeyChar == 48)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
}

}
}

[/CODE]

Any coments are welcome!
