• Visual Studio Express Editions Access to Controls

  Hi all, I am new to C#, but I am an experienced VB developer. Usually if I have two forms with e.g. some buttons or textboxes on them I use in VB from Form2 Form1.Button1.Text = "Hello" In C# I wanted to use the same. Form1 form1 = new Form1(); form1.Button1.Text = "Hello" !!!!!!!!!BUT this is not possible" How I can access members of a different form from the original one I am looking forward to hearing from you!I Hi, the easiest solution would be changing the button's Modifiers property to Public, which will make the button visible outside the form's scope. However, it's recommended that you do this kind of things by exposing special properties, like: The code in Form1: ...Show All

• Windows Forms Grabbing data from a control on a window

  I posted this on the win32.programmer.ui newsgroup but need a quicker answer. I have some c# which is using the user32.dll to get the window information. But I need to provide a class name and get back the text of a control inside the window I have the handle for. so I need something like.... getControlText(IntrPtr hWnd, String classname, out mytext) where hWnd will be the hdnale for the window, classname is the classname of the control and mytext will get back the text in that control. or if I could get the ID of the control based on a classname and then use the id to grab the text, that of course would work too. int getControlId(IntrPtr hWnd, String classname) getControlText(IntrPtr hWnd, int controlId, out m ...Show All

• Visual C# Show richtexbox search result

  Hi, I want to search for a string on a richtextbox and I want that if the string found is not visible, the scroll bar should move to the line of that string. How can i move the scrollbar to a line is there any method for that tkns There is no method to select text and scroll to it in one operation but you can first select the text and then call ScrollToCaret to cause the control to scroll to where the selected text is. private void btnSearch_Click ( object sender, EventArgs e ) { int nIdx = txtText.Text.IndexOf(txtSearch.Text); if (nIdx >= 0 ) { txtText.Select(nIdx, txtSearch.Text.Length); txtText.ScrollToCaret(); } else MessageBox .Show( "Text not found." ); ...Show All

• Visual J# JAVA LiveConnect to J# JavaScript call translation

  Hello, I’m translating a set of JAVA applets to J#, using Visual Studio Express J# 2005. I found an excellent set of instructions in Lab 7 at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/java/migrate/workshop/default.aspx . They state that you start a new project, perhaps calling it TranslateApplet, delete the initial Class1.jsl file, insert your JAVA file, which might be called TestApp, build the result, take out the resulting dll file in subdirectory bin, and use it by altering the applet tag to an object tag that points to it, as in < object height = '200' width = '320' id = 'TestApp' CLASSID = " clsid:a399591c-0fd0-41f8-9d25-bd76f632415f " vjscodebase = ' ./bin/Release/TranslateApplet.dll#TestApp ' >&l ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to load textures embedded in a model file using a custom importer

  I have a Q3 BSP loader and want to build the lightmap data during the import stage, however while i can build the data into a Texture2DContent, There seems to be no way to do anything with it - the BasicMaterialContent class has a Textures collection, but seems to require an external reference to a filename. Any ideas N I can load and manipulate the data in the class fine. I was simply wondering if you could add the texture to the textures collection thus automatically binding it to my shader. Looks like I'll just have to serialize the texture and load at runtime as suggested. Cheers N ...Show All

• Visual Basic #if directive on custom user control

  Good morning, In a custom user control's load event, I have some code that I want to run when the program starts but not when I drop the control on a form. I suppose I could put a method in the control and call it from the main forms load event (such as initializeMe()) but I was hoping for something a little more elegant. Is there something like the #if debug directive, that would only be true when the control is dropped on a form Thanks. You can use the control's DesignMode property to determine if you are currently hosted in a designer... Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build & WAP - Only drops DLL-files, not any of the content - bug or by design?

  I finally got my WAP to be successfully built as a Team Build (which got references to files in another Team Project, so I had to mess around in TFSBuild.proj). But in the Drop folder I only got a Folder called Release with the binaries (the DLL files). What happened to all content files Aspx, ascx, jpg, gif, folders and so on A quote by ScottGu from 17 april 2006: "Yep -- we will support team build . There is an issue with the current RC with team build not copying content files." This sounds like WAP would support Team Build in version 1.0. If not.... how should I get the content files in the drop folder What is the command to copy files And where should I put that command Is there a tool for the Team server build to h ...Show All
