The page color issue is an acknowledged bug by MS. I'm sure there are other controls where this is a problem though which is why you'll need to P/Invoke to get around it until MS fixes it. akr0 wrote: there is an idea Please do :) I always look forward to new articles, especially on new topics such as this.

Thanks you,I'll do that. Mazy "The path you tread is narrow and the drop is shear and very high, The ravens all are watching from a vantage point near by, Apprehension creeping like a choo-train uo your spine, Will the tightrope reach the end;will the final cuplet rhyme?"Cymbaline-Pink Floyd

Well, I try to use set and get to simulate the union. It seems work in my eye. class A { public int a; } class B { public char b; } class union { object obj; public A aa { get { return (A)obj; } set { obj=value; } } public B bb { get { return (B)obj; } set { obj=value; } } }

Console.WriteLine("Test: {0:f1}", 765.7689); The result will be 765.8 instead of 765.7, but usually that is the preferred output... /moliate (just started learning C#)

This is actually a C++ question, but I'll answer it. There is not performance issue here just a stylistic one. I personally prefer static functions over global functions as they imply a link to a given context. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C#

There's nothing in the code you posted that would cause the problem you're describing. Can you post a sample app - especially the client code? Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C#

ah, maybe thats why I thought that :) James Sonork: Hasaki "I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.

Thanks, James. I didn't get it to work that way, either, but I tried something else with better results. I set the build property of each image I wanted to reference to 'Embedded Resource' rather than 'Content'. Then, I used the following routine to grab the icon from the assembly. public static Icon GetIcon(string iconName) { Assembly assemb = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly(); return new Icon(assemb.GetManifestResourceStream("mynamespace.myfolder." + iconName)); } Note that the case must be correct and the file extension and folder name must be included. vaMope

I've already tried it and it works neither "Embedded Resource" nor "Content".:(( I think it should be compiled as a Win32 resource and C# compiles it a little bit different (resx). But I'm not sure.

10x, but how do I register for the scrollbars events? As far as I could see, these events wasn't accessible to a ScrollableControl like myself. What I used to do back in java was to override Paint and draw only the clip rectangle it gave me. That represented the viewport area out of the big I should have drawn without scrollbars. Is there any component like that (JSrollPane) out there? Inbal

You shouldn't have to worry about it, the windows timer functionality was designed so it wouldn't bog the system down by itself. If an application has events waiting for it the timer event won't fire. When the system does get to fire the time it will only send one event, not the entire backlog. If you have an excessively long task running it should be placed into a work thread so that the program doesn't appear to be locked up. In that case the main application thread is doing its own thing so it can keep up with event messages sent to it.

Thanks both of you. I was hoping I was missing something and would not have to do it manually. I don't understand why they would not have brought RoundRect forward into C#/.NET, it seems like something that would be useful (at least to me).

Just to clarfiy, you want to do a basic string search, which does not need RegEx. The point of a regular expression is that you can use wildcards, for example sh*p would find sheep, shlap any other combination that has an sh followed by any number of chars follwed by p. * would find anything and *.bmp would find all .bmp files. I don't remember any of the other wildcards off the top of my head :0) Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little.

If you are referring to .NET framework (you mentioned MFC), well, you can't: you have to redistribute dotnetfx.exe (~20Mb) and install on each client machine. Crivo Automated Credit Assessment

That is assuming you wish to close a windows form and it is the top-level form object. If you wish to exit out completely from a windows form application, System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit();. I'm not sure how you would exit out of a console application. James Sonork: Hasaki "I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.

When you serialize a class extra data is written to tell the runtime what type of object is being serialized. I have no idea if MS put this functionality in but you can look to see if you can work something up between the StructLayout attribute (normally set to Sequential) and the MarshalAs attribute. Then try getting a byte[] array with that data. I just thought of a hack that might work; create a struct, with the first and last elements being an int containing magic numbers; serialize the data to a MemoryStream, then retrieve the bytes from it, using only the data between your magic numbers to send across the wire. Like I said its a hack, and its entirely dependent on how the binary formatter serializes data (assuming it serializes the data in the same order it is in your struct).
