I am writing code to print from a FlowDocument.
PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog();
bool? result = printDialog.ShowDialog();
if (result == true)
{
FlowDocument fd = new FlowDocument();
fd.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run(String.Format("Message:\r\n{0}\r\n", txtMessage.Text))));
fd.PageHeight = printDialog.PrintableAreaHeight;
fd.PageWidth = printDialog.PrintableAreaWidth;
printDialog.PrintDocument((fd as IDocumentPaginatorSource).DocumentPaginator, "print test");
}
This code will print multiple columns in one page. How to avoid this?
I figured out. I need to set the ColumnWidth of FlowDocument.
fd.PagePadding = new Thickness(50);
fd.ColumnGap = 0;
fd.ColumnWidth = printDialog.PrintableAreaWidth;
In case, there is no printDialog involved (e.g. Writing a XML-File), this solution worked for me:
.PagePadding = New Thickness(50)
.ColumnGap = 0
.PageWidth = 21 * 96 / 2.54
.PageHeight = 29.7 * 96 / 2.54
.ColumnWidth = .PageWidth - .PagePadding.Left - .PagePadding.Right
How can I add a hyperlink column for a Winforms DataGrid control?
Right now I am adding a string column like this
DataColumn dtCol = new DataColumn();
dtCol.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String");
dtCol.ColumnName = columnName;
dtCol.ReadOnly = true;
dtCol.Unique = false;
dataTable.Columns.Add(dtCol);
I just need it to be a hyperlink instead of a String. I am using C# with framework 3.5
Use a DataGridViewLinkColumn.
The link shows an example of setting up the column and adding it to a DGV::
DataGridViewLinkColumn links = new DataGridViewLinkColumn();
links.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = true;
links.HeaderText = ColumnName.ReportsTo.ToString();
links.DataPropertyName = ColumnName.ReportsTo.ToString();
links.ActiveLinkColor = Color.White;
links.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.SystemDefault;
links.LinkColor = Color.Blue;
links.TrackVisitedState = true;
links.VisitedLinkColor = Color.YellowGreen;
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(links);
You'll probably be interested in this example that shows how the snippet above fits into a more complete example of configuring DGV columns at runtime.
everyone. There's probably a simple solution to this but I can't seem to find one. I'm playing around with the WebBrowser control in WPF that ships with Visual Studio 2010 and am trying to save an image that might appear on a webpage to disk programmatically.
Many thanks in advance!

Add System.Drawing as reference and perform the following oprations in the method that should capture the image:
Rect bounds = VisualTreeHelper.GetDescendantBounds(browser1);
System.Windows.Point p0 = browser1.PointToScreen(bounds.TopLeft);
System.Drawing.Point p1 = new System.Drawing.Point((int)p0.X, (int)p0.Y);
Bitmap image = new Bitmap((int)bounds.Width, (int)bounds.Height);
Graphics imgGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(image);
imgGraphics.CopyFromScreen(p1.X, p1.Y,
0, 0,
new System.Drawing.Size((int)bounds.Width,
(int)bounds.Height));
image.Save("C:\\a.bmp", ImageFormat.Bmp);
Here are the adaptions to solution of #luvieere:
WebBrowser browser1;
browser1 = this.Browser;
// I used the GetContentBounds()
Rect bounds = VisualTreeHelper.GetContentBounds(browser1);
// and the point to screen command for the top-left and the bottom-right corner
System.Windows.Point pTL = browser1.PointToScreen(bounds.TopLeft);
System.Windows.Point pBR = browser1.PointToScreen(bounds.BottomRight);
System.Drawing.Bitmap image = new
// The size is then calculated as difference of the two corners
System.Drawing.Bitmap(
System.Convert.ToInt32(pBR.X - pTL.X),
System.Convert.ToInt32(pBR.Y - pTL.Y));
System.Drawing.Graphics imgGraphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(image);
imgGraphics.CopyFromScreen(pTL.X, pTL.Y, 0, 0, new System.Drawing.Size(image.Width, image.Height));
fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName) + ".bmp";
image.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
For those, who prefer VB-dialect
Dim browser1 As WebBrowser
browser1 = Me.Browser
Dim bounds As Rect = VisualTreeHelper.GetContentBounds(browser1)
Dim pTL As System.Windows.Point = browser1.PointToScreen(bounds.TopLeft)
Dim pBR As System.Windows.Point = browser1.PointToScreen(bounds.BottomRight)
Dim image As System.Drawing.Bitmap = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(CInt(pBR.X - pTL.X), CInt(pBR.Y - pTL.Y))
Dim imgGraphics As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(image)
imgGraphics.CopyFromScreen(pTL.X, pTL.Y, 0, 0, New System.Drawing.Size(image.Width, image.Height))
fileName = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName) & ".bmp"
image.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
I have a Canvas and a custom control called BasicShape
After I add two BasicShape controls on the Canvas, I want programatically to connect them with a Line and I want to do this using the Binding class.
I want to connect the Bottom side of first shape with the Top side of the second one.
Initially i tried to connect only the X1 property of the Line with the Canvas.Left attached property of the fisrt BasicShape but this doesn't work. Line X1 property is not updated when I change the Canvas.SetLeft(basicShape1) value
BasicShape bs1 = canvas.Children[0] as BasicShape;
BasicShape bs2 = canvas.Children[1] as BasicShape;
Line line = new Line();
line.StrokeThickness = 1;
line.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
line.X1 = 100;
line.Y1 = 100;
line.X2 = 200;
line.Y2 = 200;
canvas.Children.Add(line);
Binding b = new Binding("AnyName");
b.Source = bs1;
b.Path = new PropertyPath(Canvas.LeftProperty);
line.SetBinding(Line.X1Property, b);
I'm trying to create a simple UML diagram like this one
alt text http://www.invariant-corp.com/omechron/images/uml_diagram.gif
I just did it other way, without binding
This will be a permanent link
http://calciusorin.com/SilverlightDiagrams/
I decided to manually update all lines on shape Location or Size changed
private void basicShape_BasicShapeLocationSizeChangedEvent(BasicShape sender)
{
foreach (CustomLine customLine in lines)
{
if (customLine.StartFromShape(sender))
{
Point point = sender.GetLinePoint(customLine.GetStartSide());
customLine.SetStartPoint(point);
}
if (customLine.EndInShape(sender))
{
Point point = sender.GetLinePoint(customLine.GetEndSide());
customLine.SetEndPoint(point);
}
}
}
I am sure that the Binding solution is more elegant. Anyone interested in my solution, with SL Controls that can be resized, connected with lines, just contact me.
Is there any way to render a Silverlight text to a path or graphics object at runtime? I know this can be done using the design tools, but I want to be able to do this on the fly.
I've seen an example that calls a webservice which uses WPF constructs to convert a WPF FormattedText object to a PathGeometry, but those objects aren't available in Silverlight.
I'm pretty sure this just isn't supported in Silverlight, but thought it was worth asking.
As you suspected, you'd have to do it server-side to convert the text to a PathGeometry which is supported in Silverlight.
What are you trying to achieve?
Here is the code for creating a SilverLight path Geometry dynamically.
or creating a SilverLight path from a string.
Just paste below method in a new class or in existing class and it will be ready to use.
you can find a sample code to use this functions at bottom of the method.
/// Method tested with SilverLight 2.0
// this method will generates path with the data string
public PathGeometry getPathGeometry(string data)
{
PathGeometry pg = new PathGeometry();
PathSegmentCollection psc = new PathSegmentCollection();
PathFigure pf = new PathFigure();
PathFigureCollection pfc = new PathFigureCollection();
data= data.Replace("M "," M").Replace("C "," C").Replace("L "," L");
string[] str = data.Split(' ');
for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++)
{
if (str[i].StartsWith("C") || str[i].StartsWith("c"))
{
string[] item = str[i].Split(',');
string[] item1 = str[i + 1].Split(',');
string[] item2 = str[i + 2].Split(',');
BezierSegment bs = new BezierSegment();
bs.Point1 = new Point(double.Parse(item[0].Substring(1)), double.Parse(item[1]));
bs.Point2 = new Point(double.Parse(item1[0]), double.Parse(item1[1]));
bs.Point3 = new Point(double.Parse(item2[0]), double.Parse(item2[1]));
i += 2;
psc.Add(bs);
}
else if (str[i].StartsWith("L") || str[i].StartsWith("l"))
{
string[] item = str[i].Split(',');
LineSegment ls = new LineSegment();
ls.Point = new Point(double.Parse(item[0].Substring(1)), double.Parse(item[1]));
psc.Add(ls);
}
else if (str[i].StartsWith("M") || str[i].StartsWith("m"))
{
string[] item = str[i].Split(',');
pf.StartPoint = new Point(double.Parse(item[0].Substring(1)), double.Parse(item[1]));
}
else if (str[i].StartsWith("z") || str[i].StartsWith("Z"))
{
pf.IsClosed = true;
}
}
pf.Segments = psc;
pfc.Add(pf);
pg.Figures = pfc;
return pg;
}
///// End of Method
