Door library (Beta) - Special library

[Erel]

It is better to open a new thread for each question.
Can't you use a TextBox instead? You can hide the TextBox with an image.

Sorry Erel for my clumsiness, next time I will use a new tread... The thing is I would like use de Hekkus library (Thanks Louis and Erel for this great library) to play a sound just while a hey is pressed: From keydown (the sound start) to Keyup event (the sound strop). Maybe is an stupid question, but I don't know how get that...

 

[Erel]

Sorry you can't do it with a textbox.
Try this:
obj is an Object, eventKey... is Events.

Sub App_Start
    Form1.Show
    obj.New1(false)
    obj.FromControl("form1")
    obj.SetProperty("KeyPreview",true)
    eventKeyDown.New1(obj.Value,"KeyDown")
    eventKeyUp.New1(obj.Value,"KeyUp")
End Sub

Sub eventKeyDown_NewEvent
    obj.Value = eventKeyDown.Data
    form1.Text = obj.GetProperty("KeyCode") & " is down"
End Sub

Sub eventKeyUp_NewEvent
    form1.Text = "Key Up"
End Sub

Great, this code works perfectly! Thanks for you effort

BindingContext property with Door.dll?

Hello Erel,
is it possible to use the BindingContext property of an control to bind datas of a SQLite-Table e.g. to that control, with door libary and if so, how??

Best Regards

[Erel]

It is not possible.

Doesn't work with TreeView controls on the device (NullReferenceException thrown). Works fine on desktop.

Sub App_Start    
    objMain.New1(False)
    objMain.Value = tvMain.ControlRef
    objMain.SetProperty("Sorted", "True")
    
    frmMain.Show
End Sub

Same outcome with:

objMain.FromControl("tvMain")
objMain.FromControl(tvMain.ControlRef)

 

[Erel]

Many properties and methods which are available in the full .Net Framework aren't available in the .Net Compact Framework.
As you can see in this page: TreeView Members (System.Windows.Forms)
The Sorted property doesn't have the small device icon and therefore not included in the .Net CF.

Thank you Erel, for prompt response & explanation

If somebody is interested to add ToolTipTexts to Controls on the desktop, here is an example. It needs of course the Door library.

Best regards.

Klaus, did you see this library I posted a while ago? http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries/2671-desktop-help-library.html#post14845 It provides F1 help as well as ToolTips for individual controls.

EDIT:- Of course you did, I just refreshed my memory of the interchange we had in that thread.

Hi Andrew,

I am afraid that M. Alzheimer has joined me, I really didn't remember this.
Anyway I am somewhere glad that I reinvented that wheel on my own in playing with the Door library.

The 'funny' thing is that I asked you for that at that time. I remembered something but not this.

Best regards and sorry.

 

[agraham]

sorry.

There's no need to apologise. I just wondered if you had remembered that the library existed.

MinimizeBox

is there a way to use the Door library to make sure that the minimixebox is not showing (i need to make sure that the app will have the "x" button on the top right hand not the minimizebox)

i know that Formlib can do that, but i'm interested in doing it using the Door library if it is possible.

a code example will be a perfect to answer to my question

Thank you all

 

[Zenerdiode]

Not tested, but something like this?

Obj1 is a Door object:

Obj1.New1(False)
Obj1.FromControl("Form1")
Obj1.SetProperty("MinimizeBox",False)

How is possible to use Door.dll for a call
PowerPolicyNotify(PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE, true)
MSDN link

 

[Erel]

This is not a .Net method. You cannot call it directly with the Door library.

 

[Discorez]

Erel, I didn't know it...
About this method wrote chanppc Here, and I have thought that it will work...

 

[Discorez]

Please, help me with such question:
How to get values of fields from structure properties of control/form?
For example, Control.Font.Size, Control.Font.Name, e.t.c.

My code returns "0" -

Obj.New1(False)
Obj.FromControl("Button1")
FontInfo.CreateNew("System.Drawing.Font" & FontInfo.System_Drawing)
FontInfo.Value = Obj.GetProperty("Font")
Msgbox(FontInfo.Value.Name)

 

[agraham]

   Obj1.New1(False)
   Obj2.New1(False)
   Obj3.New1(False)
   Obj1.FromControl("Button1")
   Obj2.Value = Obj1.GetProperty("Font")
   Obj3.Value = Obj2.GetProperty("Size")
   Msgbox(Obj2.GetProperty("Size"))
   Msgbox(Obj2.GetProperty("Name"))
   Msgbox(Obj2.GetProperty("Style"))

Actually you can't do any more with a Font in the Compact Framework than is already exposed by the Control itself (Size) and the FormLib library (Name and Style).
