If that's the case, I can understand why you're throwing your toys out of the pram right now. Without exagerration, I've coded this exact style of reference literally dozens if not hundreds of times, but notwithstanding this I compiled it and ran it by our beta test team.
It was ran on 27 different beta testing systems, and all of them ran it without fault. The only conclusion I can come to at this stage is that something is frazzled on your system, or if you put this in your existing project, something is frazzled in it.
If you can, try it again on a different system, preferably with a fresh OS & .Net framework install. If it fails get back to me because the fault your seeing could effect literally thousands of our clients and we'd certainly need to get to the bottom of it.

Mmmmmmmmmm, this is interesting.
My two development machines are .NET framework 1.0. Your code, and my code do not work on it.
Move the same two lots of code onto a machine with .NET 1.1 on it, and hey presto your code works. Mine sadly does not - this however I will put down to duff coding.
But I find it had to believe that there's significant enough difference between the two versions for something as fundamental as this to act differently. My range of machines to test on is limited to these three for the moment. But it's definitely food for thought.
Would you have been running on 1.1 by any chance?

I originally compiled it on framework 1.0, and the subsequent tests were run on 1.0, 1.0 SP1, 1.0 SP2 and 1.1, with varying OS's. I have just now compiled it on framework 1.1, and it works fine on my dev machines (I didn't send it out for beta testing again).
Just to be clear, what should be happening is that any text located in textBox1 should be copied to each TexBox in the collection when button1 is clicked.
Like I noted previously, I have coded far deeper references than this that are in production systems, without problems.
Maybe there's a problem with the way your system/s are compiling the code? I know that's a bizarre scenario, but this is a bizarre behavior!
I you like, I can send you a compliled version for testing, just send me an email address to use.

You say you're updating text in a TextBox? Is this happening in a separate thread? In any case, you should invoke Control.Refresh() or Control.Update() on the control to get the value to be repainted, expecially if changing the text in a separate thread (since UI changes are supposed to be done in the main UI thread and not doing so results in "onforeseen" errors.
Have you actually stepped through this in the debugger and made sure that the changes are correct, assuring that the references are equal? You could also use Object.Equals() on the two references to see if the references are equal (instead of if the objects are equal).

It's all happening in the same thread, yes the debugger shows copies are made when added into the collection, 'no' I don't know what's going on, 'yes' I'm throwing my toys out of the pram.
All I want to do, is bind textbox's to member variables in a class. And I just want the member variables updated each time the controls .text property is changed - preferably via an event.
It's sounds simple enough - but I can't manage it.

What collection class are you using? I do this quite a bit in our application using provided classes and custom classes and have never had problems. So long as I add the TextBox object's reference to the collection itself, it's no big deal.
Are you by change passing a reference to the string in TextBox.Text?
Also, what you're describing is property data-binding. You can bind properties of objects to properties of other objects, or even to collections of objects (happens a lot in ASP.NET). You could use textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", this, "Text").
If the Text property of your control is supposed to modify the TextBox's Text property, why not just do this?
public class MyControl : UserControl
private TextBox textBox1;
public string Text
{
get { return this.textBox1.Text; }
set { this.textBox1.Text = value; }
}
}
...although maybe I'm not understanding you right.

Is it possible to obtain a system-wide cursor status? I've tried using Cursor.current.tostring() but it only returns the status of the cursor within the application running. This means that if the cursor status is updated OUTSIDE of the application, the status is not updated at all.
|
|
|
|
|
That's how things are. I found this out a while back while using GetCursor() in Win32.  There might be an easy way around this, but I don't know of one.

After some extensive digging, i found out that to get the cursor "image" or icon, we need to use GetCursorInfo() but i don't know how to write the codes (particularly the dllimport part) and get it working in C#. Does anyone have any ideas?

3.TSpecificFunctor specFuncA(&objA, TClassA::Display);

This is an abstract virtual function. The class containing an abstract virtual function cannot be instantiated, and is intended to be a base class.
Aleon666 wrote:

I guess this should look like this:
template<class TClass> class TSpecificFunctor : public TFunctor
This is a declaration of a template class. I think you better read on templates in MSDN.
Aleon666 wrote:
TSpecificFunctor specFuncA(&objA, TClassA::Display);
I again guess it should be:
TSpecificFunctor<TClassA> specFuncA(&objA, TClassA::Display);
This line creates an instance of TSpecificFunctor object, passing TClassA as a template argument, and (&objA, TClassA::Display) as constructor arguments.
Aleon666 wrote:
TFunctor** vTable = new TFunctor*[2];
This creates an array which contains two pointers to TFunctor objects. This array is then initialized with two created functors: specFuncA and specFuncB.

Hi! Is it possible for a method to return a struct? like:
Thanks!
If not, how do i make a method return data with multiple data types?
Thanks again!

Yes
struct Data
{
int i;
string bar;
}
public Data DoStuff()
{
Data d = new Data();
d.i = 1;
d.bar = "Hello";
return d;
}Something like that will work

While your example struct seems to be missing, the answer is yes. A method can return void or any object you want it to - naturally this includes your own structs and classes.
In this example I'll create a struct to hold an error message (MyError) and use MyMethod to return it:
public struct MyError<br />
{<br />
public bool HasErrors;<br />
public string ErrorMessage;<br />
<br />
public MyError(bool hasErrors, string errorMessage)<br />
{<br />
HasErrors = hasErrors;<br />
ErrorMessage = errorMessage;<br />
}<br />
}
and now a method that returns it:
public class MyClass<br />
{<br />
public MyError CheckForErrors(bool someCondition)<br />
{<br />
if(!someCondition)<br />
{<br />
return new MyError(true, "Errors ocurred");<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
return new MyError(false, "She's Apples Mate");<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}

the problem is when i draw a column using the Rect method at for example x = 10 y = 10
and i print the text inputting these same values ...but the text is printed at the left ...i want it to be printed on the right ...like right align..Thanks
