I would like to know if there is a way to use AutoConnect from Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio to connect two Shape and make it like the link between both have an arrow from the first to the second Shape.
If it is not possible to make this connection using AutoConnect, would you know another way to make the arrow connection to the two Shape?
The method I am trying to use is as follows:
private void Connect Drawings (IVisio.Shape shape1, IVisio.Shape shape2, IVisio.VisAutoConnectDir dir)
{
shape1.AutoConnect (shape2, dir);
}
Visio Print
Thanks for clarifiying in the comments. The reason the arrow head isn't displaying is probably because the page has a 'No theme' theme set and the default for connectors under this scheme is not to show arrow heads. So you can either start off with a template or drawing with the desired theme set, or, set it in code as part of your drop.
Here's an example (using LINQPad):
void Main()
{
var vApp = MyExtensions.GetRunningVisio();
var vPag = vApp.ActivePage;
var shp1 = vPag.DrawRectangle(2,5,3,4.5);
var shp2 = vPag.DrawRectangle(4,7,5,6.5);
shp1.AutoConnect(shp2, Visio.VisAutoConnectDir.visAutoConnectDirRight);
//Assuming 'No theme' is set for the page, no arrow will
//be shown so change theme to see connector arrow
vPag.SetTheme("Office Theme");
}
If you're interested in some 'theme' related background reading I have a few posts on the subject starting with this one: http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/vislog/2013/04/using-themes-in-visio-2013.html

I'm trying to take a full screen screenshot of my page by using this code:
public void OpenEyesForVisualTesting(string testName) {
this.seleniumDriver.Driver = this.eyes.Open(this.seleniumDriver.Driver, "Zinc", testName);
}
public void CheckScreenForVisualTesting() {
this.eyes.Check("Zinc", Applitools.Selenium.Target.Window().Fully());
}
public void CloseEyes() {
this.eyes.close();
}
but instead I just get a half a page of the screenshot, I tried to contact Applitools but they just told me to replace eyes.checkwindow() to eyes.Check("tag", Target.Window().Fully()); which still didn't work.
If anyone can help me that would be great.
I work for Applitools and sorry for your troubles. Maybe you did not see our replies or they went to your spam folder. You need to set ForceFullPageScreenshot = true and StitchMode = StitchModes.CSS in order to capture a full page screenshot.
The below code example is everything you'd need to do in order to capture a full page image. Also, please make sure your .Net Eyes.Sdk version is >= 2.6.0 and Eyes.Selenium >= 2.5.0.
If you have any further questions or still encountering issues with this please feel free to email me directly. Thanks.
var eyes = new Eyes();
eyes.ApiKey = "your-api-key";
eyes.ForceFullPageScreenshot = true;
eyes.StitchMode = StitchModes.CSS;
eyes.Open(driver, "Zinc", testName, new Size(800, 600)); //last parameter is your viewport size IF testing on a browser. Do not set if testing on a mobile devices.
eyes.CheckWindow("Zinc");
//or new Fluet API method
eyes.Check("Zinc", Applitools.Selenium.Target.Window().Fully();
eyes.Close();
Use extent Reporting library, in that you can take screen shot as well as an interactive report on pass and fail cases.
here is the link how it works:
http://www.softwaretestingmaterial.com/generate-extent-reports/
If you want to take complete page Screenshot/ Particular element with Applitools. You can use lines of code:-
Full Screenshot
eyes.setHideScrollbars(false);
eyes.setStitchMode(StitchMode.CSS);
eyes.setForceFullPageScreenshot(true);
eyes.checkWindow();
Take screenshot for particular element
WebElement Button = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[#id='login-btn']"));
eyes.setHideScrollbars(false);
eyes.setStitchMode(StitchMode.CSS);
eyes.open(driver, projectName, testName);
eyes.setMatchLevel(MatchLevel.EXACT);
eyes.checkElement(Button );
(I am from Applitools.)
When setting forcefullpagescreenshoot to true, applitools will try to scroll the HTML element in the page, if the HTML is not the scrollable element then you will need to set it yourself:
eyes.Check(Target.Window().ScrollRootElement(selector))
In Firefox, you can see a scroll tag near elements that are scrollable.
I have been working with a simple program essentially designed to be digital flash cards. Ideally, I want the program to be portable. I am trying to get the current directory. My setup is this:
I have a FileIO.cs method which reads currentDir/Data. I then have a winform which calls the method and retrieves a string[] array of the list of folders. Both of these methods are public static. I then have a separate button to create controls on the form.
The problem:
I have cleaned/rebuilt the solution and been using the debugger; The program is running from C:\Users\user\a\b\c\solution\bin\debug. The control (radioButton) I created to verify this data is telling me the 'currentDir' is C:\Users\user and not the programs current directory.
Notes:
I have manually created Debug\Data and 4 folders within the data folder so I am 100% sure they exist. No warnings or compile or run time errors are thrown. Card_Base.GetGrades is automatically called on form load successfully.
I have also confirmed the Release folder is empty and not being used. Also I have a backup program which shows an icon when a file is being uploaded to my backup every time the file(s) change. So I am 100% sure bin\debug is the proper working folder in this scenario.
Perhaps what is puzzling me most is that I have a totally separate program written on the same PC using the same IDE and it properly retrieves the path using the same setup.
In FileIO.cs
//public static string pathPortable = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
public static string pathPortable = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
static string[] grade1;
public static string[] GetGrade()
{
string fullPath = FileIO.pathPortable + #"\Data";
grade1 = Directory.GetDirectories(fullPath);
return grade1;
}
in Card_Base.cs
public static List<RadioButton> buttonGrade = new List<RadioButton>(10);
public static void GetGrades()
{
string[] grade2 = FileIO.GetGrade();
//Proper and accurate names of the folders I manually added
//C:\Users\user\a\b\c\solution\bin\debug\Data\K
//C:\Users\user\a\b\c\solution\bin\debug\Data\1
//C:\Users\user\a\b\c\solution\bin\debug\Data\2
//C:\Users\user\a\b\c\solution\bin\debug\Data\3
MessageBox.Show("" + grade2[0]); //Information (entire path) is accurate as of this line
int x = 5;
int y = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < grade2.Count(); i++)
{
y = i * 21;
Card_Base.buttonGrade.Add(new RadioButton());
Card_Base.buttonGrade[i].Text = grade2[i];
MessageBox.Show("" + buttonGrade[i].Text); //Proper entire path is shown here!
Card_Base.buttonGrade[i].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x, y);
}
}
The control whose .text property which shows C:\Users\User, not the Bin\Debug folder.
private void buttonTest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("abc:" + buttonGrade[0].Text);
for (int i = 0; i < buttonGrade.Count(); i++)
{
panelGrade.Controls.Add(buttonGrade[i]);
}
MessageBox.Show("def:" + buttonGrade[0].Text); //Proper string path is displayed in the popup box here!
}
Result: ???
Four vertically lined radioButtons on a form panel which all have text reading "C:\Users\user\"
Update1:
The text also appears slightly misaligned, slightly higher than the radioButton bubble itself, very strange. However, I've gone back into the editor and confirmed the panelGrade is initially empty. Click/Drag grabs nothing and right clicking the panel does not reveal any underlying objects in the panel's space.
After modifying the target directory to its parent (1 level higher), each messageBox checkpoint reveals the proper string/path is being sent in. The visible radioButton when the program is launcher, after the "test" button is pushed is the only occurrence of this unusual text/string appearing anywhere.
Placing messageBoxes before/after the loop within the test button itself shows that the control (radioButton in buttonGrade[0]) DOES contain the proper string / text / path. Thus the change must occur at some point after the buttonTest code is finished executing.
Update2:
I just opened a brand new solution and copy/pasted the relevant code eliminating anything extraneous. Named all the items/controls with the same names. Completely bare bones. Exact same problem.
HOWEVER, when I change radioButtons to TextBoxs ... the program displays the proper information. Um. What???
Update 3:
Looking through the MSDN radioButtons are derived from buttonBase. The only relevant event I see at a glance is the textChanged event. While it does note that the way the text property of derived classes like radioButton varies, it fails to specify exactly how or what limits it has. Control.Text is simply a System.String , thus I see no reason why a radioButton would not be able to contain that information.
I tried creating a 'test2' button to change 'buttonGrade[0].Text = FileIO.pathPortable;' . Oddly enough, it does not change the text all. Nor does it throw an error.
AH HA! I noticed that the folder after user was my google drive, which is "Google Drive" and has a space in it. I then copied my trash program to C:\and named it TrashMe2 and ensured no folder names contained spaces. The result was "C:\TrashMe2\bi". I then tried "1234567890123456789". The result was that it showed up to the second 3.
The radioButton wasn't receiving a different string and the string/path/data was never changed. It simply showed a 'different folder' because that, by luck of the draw' was the exact number of visible characters it showed. Because I created the radioButtons programmatically, AutoSize did NOT default to true. The proper string was part of the radioButton, it simply was not all visible.
And for security reasons (and a bit of humor), I actually call my user account "user". So it wasn't a scenario where I would see C:\Users\JoeNomidBlow was cut off.
I feel... rather stupid at this particular moment. Thanks for the help!
Programmatically adding a control, particularly a radioButton, does not automatically set the autoSize property to true. When creating a radioButton programatically, one must be sure to add
radioButton.Autosize = true;
or as this case is/was
buttonGrade[i].Autosize = true;
Otherwise the visible space of the text is shortened. In this case, leaving behind a partial path. Which coincidentally happens to be identical to a different valid path.
Right now, I am trying to develop a program using Mono and GTK# on a Debian (Raspbian) system.
The issue I'm facing is, that, completely randomly, the GUI (generated by the Stetic designer or its dynamic elements) isn't completely drawn, missing either a few characters from a Label-element or whole widgets, mostly those that were dynamically created. This is how it looks on a dialog window: http://imgur.com/oEZRg7c (text is cut off)
As soon as one window shows this issue, every other window has the same issues, sometimes missing whole widgets, even if those were created afterwards. The solution is usually to quit the program and reopen it, as it only randomly occurs.
This is how the constructor of most of my windows looks like (the part after Build() varies):
public partial class ErrorSolutionDialog : Gtk.Dialog
{
public ErrorSolutionDialog (string errorMessage, string solutionHint)
{
this.WidthRequest = this.Screen.Width;
this.HeightRequest = this.Screen.Height;
this.Maximize ();
this.Fullscreen ();
this.KeepAbove = true;
this.DestroyWithParent = false;
Build ();
this.ErrorMessage.Markup = "<b><span size='xx-large'>" + errorMessage + "</span></b>";
this.SolutionHint.Text = solutionHint;
}
}
I wouldn't say that the use of the Stetic designer inside Xamarin Studio/Monodevelop is bad, but as any piece of software it certainly has some issues.
Also, the use of any designer in any software environment will tie you to that development platform forever. Finally, the created source code will be hardly maintainable, apart from completely foreign for you.
That's why I always recommend to get rid of the designer. You can follow a Gtk# tutorial such as this one, and you'll find it is easy and rewarding. And you'll have whole and thorough control of your code.
The basics about Gtk# is creating a layout with VBoxes and HBoxes. For example, the following code creates a layout in which you'll have a TreeView and a TextView in a Dialog.
var swWin1 = new Gtk.ScrollWindow();
var swWin2 = new Gtk.ScrollWindow();
// TextView
this.txtView = new Gtk.TextView();
swWin1.AddWithViewport( this.txtView );
// TreeView
this.tvView = new Gtk.TreeView();
swWin2.AddWithViewport( this.tvView );
// Layout
var hBox = new HBox( false, 2 );
hBox.PackStart( swWin1, true, true, 5 );
hBox.PackStart( swWin2, true, true, 5 );
this.VBox.PackStart( hBox, true, true, 5 );
PackStart() is the method doing the magic in order to add a widget to a layout. The booleans tell Gtk to expand the widget. A ScrollWindow adds scrollbars to any widget.
Finally, my advice is for any action, use Gtk.Action, and call its methods CreateMenuItem() and CreateToolItem() in order to create menu entries and toobar buttons, instead of repeating the same code again and again.
Hope this helps.
This link goes to an implementation of the imagination captcha imagination
The authors have themselves requested for people to make algorithms to try its efficiency against AI attacks.
Essentially the first page is asking for a mouse click anywhere on the image... My problem is that my algorithm comes up with the point (x,y) on the image but I want to emulate it real time on this link...
Can some one tell me how can i send the point values on this link and get back the message whether i was successful or not....
Essentially I am asking how can i emulate a mouse click on this link at the points that my algorithm gives using C#...
I am asking this only for studying the features of this captcha and its accuracy.
Thanks a lot
If you are able to execute JavaScript on that page directly, this code will do:
submitClick(document.getElementById("img").value, x, y, "tiled");
Otherwise, hit this url, substituting your own values for id, x, and y:
http://goldbach.cse.psu.edu/s/captcha/captcha_controller.php?id=87170&x=66&y=149&source=tiled
Parse the response - If your coordinates are correct, the response will contain "step 2". If not, the response will contain "step 1" and it will have a <div id="error">.
If you want to use their live site from code, I think you're talking about a screen scrape. I highly recommend looking into the HTML Agility Pack (available via nuget). This is going to allow you to read the DOM into your application and then interact with it however you please.
This could be a dumb answer but if you're trying to emulate a mouse click and find out if it's successful, why not use the Selenium Browser add-in to record your scripts / write' your own.
Then you can have a test suite to try against you're various different captchas.... hope this achieves what you're trying to do....
WebAii over at telerik has this feature. Here is some sample code i used at some point in the past customized for your situation. just put this in a class, left out the class container because it jacks up the formatting
protected static Manager _manager = null;
protected static Manager _manager = null;
protected Browser _main;
protected Find _find;
public WebAiiAutomater()
{
if (_manager != null)
{
foreach (var broswer in _manager.Browsers)
{
broswer.Close();
}
return;
}
var settings = new Settings(BrowserType.InternetExplorer, #"c:\log\") { ClientReadyTimeout = 60 * 1000 };
_manager = new Manager(settings);
_manager.Start();
_manager.LaunchNewBrowser();
_manager.ActiveBrowser.AutoWaitUntilReady = true;
_main = _manager.ActiveBrowser;
_find = _main.Find;
_main.NavigateTo(#"http://goldbach.cse.psu.edu/s/captcha/");
//start looping over your alogrithm trying different x,y coords against ClickImage(x,y
}
public bool ClickImage(int x, int y)
{
//var beginsearch = _find.ById("captcha_img"); //this should get you the image, but you don't need
_manager.Desktop.Mouse.Click(MouseClickType.LeftClick, x, y);
Thread.sleep(1000); //wait for postback - might be handled internally though
var errordiv = _find.ById("error");
return errordiv !=null;
}
What am I doing:
My main intent is to enable user friendly text to speech for personal use on Win 7. Approach should work in Google Chrome, VS and Eclipse.
Code example:
Following code creates global keyboard hook for ctrl + alt + space, called hookEvent. If event fires, it starts/stops speaking clipboard contents ( that can be updated with ctrl + c ).
/// <summary>
/// KeyboardHook from: http://www.liensberger.it/web/blog/?p=207
/// </summary>
private readonly KeyboardHook hook = new KeyboardHook();
private readonly SpeechSynthesizer speaker = //
new SpeechSynthesizer { Rate = 3, Volume = 100 };
private void doSpeaking(string text)
{
// starts / stops speaking, while not blocking UI
if (speaker.State != SynthesizerState.Speaking)
speaker.SpeakAsync(text);
else
speaker.SpeakAsyncCancelAll();
}
private void hookEvent(object sender, KeyPressedEventArgs e)
{
this.doSpeaking(Convert.ToString(Clipboard.GetText()));
}
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
hook.KeyPressed += new EventHandler<KeyPressedEventArgs>(hookEvent);
hook.RegisterHotKey(ModifierKeysx.Control|ModifierKeysx.Alt, Keys.Space);
}
Question:
I would prefer not using the clipboard. Or at least, restoring the value after, something like:
[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.Synchronized)]
private string getSelectedTextHACK()
{
object restorePoint = Clipboard.GetData(DataFormats.UnicodeText);
SendKeys.SendWait("^c");
string result = Convert.ToString(Clipboard.GetText());
Clipboard.SetData(DataFormats.UnicodeText, restorePoint);
return result;
}
What are my options?
Edit:
To my surprise, I found that my clipboard reader is the best way to go. I created a notification area app, that responds to left click (speaking clipboard) and right click (menu opens up). In menu the user can chance speed, speak or create a audio file.
MS provide accessibility tools that do cover what you're trying to do. If you take a look at documents about screen scraping. In short, every component is accessible in some manner, if you use some of the windows debugging tools you can get to see the component names/structures within. You can then use that, however, its complicated as most times you would need to be very specific for each application you intend to scrape from.
If you manage to scrape you dont need to use the clipboard, as you can access the text property of the apps direct. Its not something I've had to do, hence, Ive no code to offer off the top of my head, but the term "screen scraping" should point you in the right direction.
If to expand a little on what Bugfinder said, Microsoft provider a UI Automation Framework to solve problems like the one you mentioned:
In particular you can use the TextSelectionChangedEvent of TextPattern:
The problem with this solution is that it only works on supported operating systems and applications - and not all support this.
Your clipboard solution is acceptable for applications that do not provide a good automation interface.
But for many applications the UI Automation Framework will work well and will provide you with a far better solution.
