I am able to draw a close button on tab using e.Graphics.Drawimage in OnDrawItem event of TabControl but i want to display the favicon of the website on that tab after the DocumentCompleted event of webbrowser control but i cannot use e.Graphics.Drawimage in DocumentCompleted event.
Is there an alternative way to do this.
Thanks for your help.
OnDrawItem is the correct way. If you do it any other way, your icon will be erased the next time the tab needs to be redrawn (e.g. if you switch to a different tab, or minimize and then restore the window). In WinForms, you should only draw a control from that control's draw events.
What you need to do is, in your DocumentCompleted event, save off the icon (e.g. in a field on your UserControl or Form class), and then call Invalidate on the tab control. That will result in your OnDrawItem event getting fired. Your OnDrawItem can then draw the icon, as long as the field has been assigned. Something roughly like this:
private Image _favicon;
private void WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(...) {
_favicon = ...get the icon...;
TabControl1.Invalidate();
}
private void TabControl1_OnDrawItem(...) {
if (_favicon != null)
e.Graphcs.DrawImage(_favicon, ...);
}

I have a user control that I'm trying to make draggable. The whole control should be draggable except when you click on buttons or text boxes. I'm handling the mousedown, mouseup and mousemove events on the usercontrol itself and I can drag by clicking anywhere. The only issue is now I can't click any buttons on the user control. Any clue what's going on?
Code is something like this:
<UserControl PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="Popup_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown" ....STUFF...>
<!-- CAN'T CLICK THIS -->
<Button />
<UserControl>
Code Behind:
public void Popup_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
mouseDown = true;
oldMousePosition = this.PointToScreen(e.GetPosition(this));
this.Popup.Child.CaptureMouse();
}
The issue arises when you use CaptureMouse() - this permanently captures all your mouse input on the window, and makes it so that you're unable to click on anything within the Window. I don't know if it's different for you, or if you checked, but it's not (just) that the Button is unclickable - it's that literally everything on the Window is unclickable.
You have to actually do something with the mouse after you've captured it, and then once you finish that, you have to return normal control by calling Mouse.Capture(null). For you, this would probably be best to do in your MouseUp() method.
However, this still leaves the child problem. I can't really think of any way you're going to be able to both capture all mouse click events on a parent control and allow them to get to the child control. I suppose you could check the mouse position against the button position, both relative to the UserControl, then route the click event to the Button every time, but this seems a little overelaborate. Is there a reason you can't just add a full-sized Grid to the UserControl with a lower ZIndex than the Button, and just use that to detect if a click was made inside the UserControl but not on the Button?
I have a form with only a ReportViewer control on it. When the form is displayed, if you click on the report you can then use the mouse wheel to scroll vertically.
I'd like to be able to scroll as soon as the form appears.
I've tried the following, but no dice...
private void ReportViewer_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
rptViewer.Focus();
}
private void ReportViewer_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
rptViewer.Focus();
}
Put your code in the form's constructor, right after InitializeComponent();:
rptViewer.Select();
After set rptViewer.Focus call SendKeys.Send(Chr(Keys.Tab)) to move focus from menu to preview area.
Did you try calling rptView.Activate()?
Also it may be that your form is getting focus after the load event completes (I think I've had problems with that before). One solution is, although it is definitely not elegant, to create a single-use Timer that starts when your Load method runs, and fires after 1 ms, and then stops. When the Timer fires, it will activate/focus your ReportViewer.
You could also try adding a MouseWheel event handler to your form. When the event is fired, send a scroll message to your ReportViewer to scroll it up or down. Then it doesn't matter whether or not your ReportViewer has focus, it (should) always scroll when the form has focus.
This must have been asked before, but I am fairly new and don't quite know how to express myself...
1) I have a UserControl that basically acts as a toolbar. I re-use the toolbar in each window, hence the need for a uc.
2) The toolbar is filled with buttons
3) the usercontrol doesn't act on the button (no code), but it should pass the event back to the parent window so the code in the parent window fires up.
How can I do this? Is this a routed event? any sample code in vb.net would be appreciated!
On you user control, you need events that you can fire when the buttons are clicked. Then in your form, you handle the events just like you do for every other control. IE:
public event Button1_ClickedEventHandler Button1_Clicked;
public delegate void Button1_ClickedEventHandler(object sender);
private void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Button1_Clicked != null) {
Button1_Clicked(this);
}
}
You can call the event whatever you want and pass whatever you want. Here you will notice I am NOT sending the button but THIS, which in this case should be the User Control.
I'm having a Picture box in a user control window(Windows custom control library). and some functionality in the Form's Enter event and leave event.
Now my sample application is having two instances of the control. So when i run my sample application the fist control got selected and the enter event is triggered, and when i select the second control the first's leave and second's enter events are getting triggered.
Now, problem is that when i select(click) the second control's picturebox, the events are not triggering, i.e the control form is not getting the event.
So if i click whereever in the control(in the picturebox or in the control) the enter event should be triggered.
How to do this?
A picture box can't get focus. So clicking on it won't take the focus away from the previous control thus not triggering the events.
You need to add a click handler on the picture box in which you manually give focus to the associated focusable control.
private void PictureBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
focusableControl.Focus();
}
How to capture mouse wheel on panel in C#?
I'm using WinForms
EDIT:
I try to do it on PictureBox now.
My code:
this.pictureBox1.MouseClick += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.pictureBox1_MouseClick);
this.pictureBox1.MouseWheel += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.pictureBox1_MouseClick);
private void pictureBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Click");
}
Clicking works. Wheelling doesn't.
Why?
If you can't see the "MouseWheel" event on a component, then you need to create it manually. Also, we need to focus that component, otherwise the "MouseWheel" event will not work for that component. I will show you how to create a "MouseWheel" event for "pictureBox1" and how it works.
INSIDE THE CONSTRUCTOR, create a mousewheel event on that component.
InitializeComponent();
this.pictureBox1.MouseWheel += pictureBox1_MouseWheel;
CREATE THE FUNCTION manually. According to my example, call it "pictureBox1_MouseWheel"
private void pictureBox1_MouseWheel(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
//you can do anything here
}
CREATE a MouseHover event on that component (Go to properties in PicureBox1, select event, locate "MouseHover" and double-click the "MouseHover" event).
CALL "Focus()"; method inside that MouseHover event.
pictureBox1.Focus();
Now run the program.
Windows sends the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message to the control that has the focus. That won't be Panel, it is not a control that can get the focus. As soon as you put a control on the panel, say a button, then the button gets the focus and the message.
The button however has no use for the message, it's got nothing to scroll. Windows notices this and sends the message to the parent. That's the panel, now it will scroll.
You'll find code for a custom panel that can get the focus in this answer.
UPDATE: note that this behavior has changed in Windows 10. The new "Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them" option is turned on by default. The makes the mouse wheel behavior more consistent with the way it works in a browser or, say, an Office program. In this specific case the picturebox now will get the event. Watch out for this.
To wire it up manually...
this.panel1.MouseWheel += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.panel1_MouseWheel);
private void panel1_MouseWheel(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
///process mouse event
}
Easier method is in visual studio click on panel, goto properties viewpanel, select events, locate and double click the "mousewheel" event.
In Winforms, this is achieved using the Control.MouseWheel event
Getting mousewheel events is tricky. The easiest way is using
this.MouseWheel += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.panel1_MouseWheel);
instead of
this.panel1.MouseWheel += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.panel1_MouseWheel);
This way the form gets the event instead of control. This way is easy but has one problem: you can use only one mousewheel event in your form.
If you have more than one control to get mousewheel event the best way is This answer by "Shehan Silva - weltZ"
