• .NET Development Threading problem

  Hi, I have a Windows Form and I need to create another thread to wait for an input somewhere else in the program. When this happens, I will have to access the form and modify it. Right now, this creates an error because I can't access/modify the form from a thread that didn't create it. I've searched through the reference and found that the ThreadPool class allows me to "wait on behalf of other threads" but I haven't found a solution with that yet. Does anyone know of a way to solve the problem Thanks in advance, Wing yes in your thread code: yourForm.theUpdateMessage = "My Message"; yourForm.Invoke( n ...Show All

• Visual C++ Notification on Text change for Windows Control

  Hello, I have a question in SDK windows programming. I have a window control, implemented as an editable control for user to enter text. User can add text in the window control either by typing through keypad or copy/paste using mouse. I call GetWindowText() to read text from the control. I want to display a message while user is entering text or copying a value, if the text exceeds a certain length. I am aware that I can trap keyboard and mouse events to do this. But I would like to know if there is any way to get notified, when there is a change in text on a window control Your response is appreciated. Thanks. ksrks ...Show All

• Visual C# Event Args.

  private void rbButtons_CheckedChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) could someone break this event handler down for me....what is the purpose of the 'object sender' and 'System.EventArgs e' Hi, This event occurs when the state of a RadioButton changes. sender will contain the instance of RadioButton on which the event occured. EventArgs is the base class for all classes which contains data regarding an event. In this case there is no data in the EventArgs, in other situations such as the KeyPress event of a Form, a class derived from EventArgs is used which would have data such as the key pressed. private void Form1_KeyPress( o ...Show All

• SQL Server DataReader Source and Column Types

  Is there a way to control the types for output columns of a DataReader Source It appears that any System.String will always come out as DT_WSTR. As I have my own managed provider, and I know what went in, I can say that really it should be DT_STR. The GetSchemaTable call from my provider will always say System.String as it does not have much choice, but GetSchemaTable does contain a ProviderType which is different for my DT_STR vs DT_WSTR, or rather when I want each. I think something like MappingFiles as used by the Wizard would work, but can I do anything today Darren, I am afraid there is no way to influence this mapping. The Dat ...Show All
