How do you print a specific page from the activereports report Windows viewer control programmatically?
viewer.Document.Printer.PrinterSettings.FromPage = 2;
viewer.Document.Printer.PrinterSettings.ToPage = 4;
viewer.Document.Print(false, true);
You can find more information about programatically setting printer options at http://www.datadynamics.com/Help/ActiveReports6/ActiveReports6_start.html?ActiveReports.Document~DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Document.Printer.html
Hope this helps!

Using .NET WPF and Windows 10, is there a way to push a local toast notification onto the action center using c#? I've only seen people making custom dialogs for that but there must be a way to do it through the os.
You can use a NotifyIcon from System.Windows.Forms namespace like this:
class Test
{
private readonly NotifyIcon _notifyIcon;
public Test()
{
_notifyIcon = new NotifyIcon();
// Extracts your app's icon and uses it as notify icon
_notifyIcon.Icon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
// Hides the icon when the notification is closed
_notifyIcon.BalloonTipClosed += (s, e) => _notifyIcon.Visible = false;
}
public void ShowNotification()
{
_notifyIcon.Visible = true;
// Shows a notification with specified message and title
_notifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(3000, "Title", "Message", ToolTipIcon.Info);
}
}
This should work since .NET Framework 1.1. Refer to this MSDN page for parameters of ShowBalloonTip.
As I found out, the first parameter of ShowBalloonTip (in my example that would be 3000 milliseconds) is generously ignored. Comments are appreciated ;)
I know this is an old post but I thought this might help someone that stumbles on this as I did when attempting to get Toast Notifications to work on Win 10.
This seems to be good outline to follow -
Send a local toast notification from desktop C# apps
I used that link along with this great blog post- Pop a Toast Notification in WPF using Win 10 APIs
to get my WPF app working on Win10. This is a much better solution vs the "old school" notify icon because you can add buttons to complete specific actions within your toasts even after the notification has entered the action center.
Note- the first link mentions "If you are using WiX" but it's really a requirement. You must create and install your Wix setup project before you Toasts will work. As the appUserModelId for your app needs to be registered first. The second link does not mention this unless you read my comments within it.
TIP- Once your app is installed you can verify the AppUserModelId by running this command on the run line shell:appsfolder . Make sure you are in the details view, next click View , Choose Details and ensure AppUserModeId is checked. Compare your AppUserModelId against other installed apps.
Here's a snipit of code that I used. One thing two note here, I did not install the "Notifications library" mentioned in step 7 of the first link because I prefer to use the raw XML.
private const String APP_ID = "YourCompanyName.YourAppName";
public static void CreateToast()
{
XmlDocument toastXml = ToastNotificationManager.GetTemplateContent(
ToastTemplateType.ToastImageAndText02);
// Fill in the text elements
XmlNodeList stringElements = toastXml.GetElementsByTagName("text");
stringElements[0].AppendChild(toastXml.CreateTextNode("This is my title!!!!!!!!!!"));
stringElements[1].AppendChild(toastXml.CreateTextNode("This is my message!!!!!!!!!!!!"));
// Specify the absolute path to an image
string filePath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFilesX86) + #"\Your Path To File\Your Image Name.png";
XmlNodeList imageElements = toastXml.GetElementsByTagName("image");
imageElements[0].Attributes.GetNamedItem("src").NodeValue = filePath;
// Change default audio if desired - ref - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/tiles/toastschema/element-audio
XmlElement audio = toastXml.CreateElement("audio");
//audio.SetAttribute("src", "ms-winsoundevent:Notification.Reminder");
//audio.SetAttribute("src", "ms-winsoundevent:Notification.IM");
//audio.SetAttribute("src", "ms-winsoundevent:Notification.Mail"); // sounds like default
//audio.SetAttribute("src", "ms-winsoundevent:Notification.Looping.Call7");
audio.SetAttribute("src", "ms-winsoundevent:Notification.Looping.Call2");
//audio.SetAttribute("loop", "false");
// Add the audio element
toastXml.DocumentElement.AppendChild(audio);
XmlElement actions = toastXml.CreateElement("actions");
toastXml.DocumentElement.AppendChild(actions);
// Create a simple button to display on the toast
XmlElement action = toastXml.CreateElement("action");
actions.AppendChild(action);
action.SetAttribute("content", "Show details");
action.SetAttribute("arguments", "viewdetails");
// Create the toast
ToastNotification toast = new ToastNotification(toastXml);
// Show the toast. Be sure to specify the AppUserModelId
// on your application's shortcut!
ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier(APP_ID).Show(toast);
}
UPDATE
This seems to be working fine on windows 10
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.notifications.toastnotificationmanager.aspx
you will need to add these nugets
Install-Package WindowsAPICodePack-Core
Install-Package WindowsAPICodePack-Shell
Add reference to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd
And
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETCore\v4.5\System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime.dll
And use the following code:
XmlDocument toastXml = ToastNotificationManager.GetTemplateContent(ToastTemplateType.ToastImageAndText04);
// Fill in the text elements
XmlNodeList stringElements = toastXml.GetElementsByTagName("text");
for (int i = 0; i < stringElements.Length; i++)
{
stringElements[i].AppendChild(toastXml.CreateTextNode("Line " + i));
}
// Specify the absolute path to an image
string imagePath = "file:///" + Path.GetFullPath("toastImageAndText.png");
XmlNodeList imageElements = toastXml.GetElementsByTagName("image");
ToastNotification toast = new ToastNotification(toastXml);
ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier("Toast Sample").Show(toast);
The original code can be found here: https://www.michaelcrump.net/pop-toast-notification-in-wpf/
I managed to gain access to the working API for windows 8 and 10 by referencing
Windows.winmd:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral
This exposes Windows.UI.Notifications.
You can have a look at this post for creating a COM server that is needed in order to have notifications persisted in the AC with Win32 apps https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/tiles_and_toasts/2015/10/16/quickstart-handling-toast-activations-from-win32-apps-in-windows-10/.

Is there a way to find out on the current page of my WP7 app which page the user came from?
I'm looking for the equivalent of a http referer here.
reference this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.navigation(v=VS.92).aspx
and have a look at BackStack property of the NavigationService, the drawback though is if you were previously developing on WP7.0 then the BackStack property isn't available. hope this helps.
This should get you started:
PhoneApplicationFrame frame = (PhoneApplicationFrame)Application.Current.RootVisual;
if (frame.CanGoBack)
{
string pageUri = String.Empty;
foreach (var item in frame.BackStack)
{
pageUri = item.Source.ToString();
}
}
After executing this code, pageUri should be holding the Uri of the last page.
Just wondering if there's a known way of getting a Mono System.Windows.Forms application to go fullscreen on Ubuntu/Gnome.
Mono is 2.4.2.3
Ubuntu is 9.10
Doing it on Windows requires a pinvoke, clearly not going to work here.
This is what I get setting window border to none, window position to centre, and state to maximised:
alt text http://dl.dropbox.com/u/116092/misc/permalink/joggler/screenshot01.png
Update.
Have also tried:
this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized;
CTRL-F11
Text = string.Empty; // No caption
MaximizeBox = false;
MinimizeBox = false;
ControlBox = false;
FormBorderStyle = None;
WindowState = Maximized;
FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
Location = new Point(0, 0);
Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size;
All of which I end up with the same result.
I have come across a lead which involves a pinvoke involving _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN but that's as far as I've got with it. Any pointers on that would be appreciated.
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN will just get rid of the borders. The GNOME panel will still appear.
According to the following post, the secret is to get rid of the minimum/maximum sizes so that the window manager does the resizing itself:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/GNOME/2010-01/msg00035.html
Here is some documentation on the native spec:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html
http://www.x.org/docs/ICCCM/icccm.pdf
To talk directly to the X Window System you have to pinvoke into XLib. In order to send something like _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN you have to have a pointer to the window and also to the display.
I am not sure how to find the display but I can help with a pointer to the window. When running on X, the property Form.Handle should be a pointer to the X window.
Not sure what you mean by "Full Screen" - but I've written several Windows.Forms applications that take over the screen, and without a single PInvoke.
Here's how I configure my main form ...
Text = string.Empty; // No caption
MaximizeBox = false;
MinimizeBox = false;
ControlBox = false;
FormBorderStyle = None;
WindowState = Maximized;
Optionally,
TopMost = true;
Hope this helps.
You need to disable visual effects in ubuntu.
edit:
And make sure your form size is at least screen resolution without borders. If borders are on design time and you are removing them in code you will need something like 1030x796 for a 1024x768 display.
I have been suffered by this problem 2 days and finally i got the solution:
click the 1st icon on left tool bar and search compizconfig program. Go to preference-> unity and you will see there is a tick for unity plugin on the left side. Remove that tick and you will see the top menu bar disappeared.
Though this thread is very old but I still hope I can help anyone who gets this problem and seek for help.
Have you tried this?
this.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized;
Unfortunately I have no Ubuntu available right now, but I can see old patches for this in old mono versions...
It should be possible to display every app running inside gnome in fullscreen mode with the "CTRL+F11" hotkey.
Maybe you could try
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send();
but that is just a guess, I haven't got a Linux running atm to try this. But maybe this helps.
I can't test it at the moment, but have you tried a simple resize?
form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
form.Location = Point(0, 0)
form.Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size
I have worked around this for now by setting the autohide property of the panel.
Not ideal because it depends on the user changing their environment to use my application, but better than nothing.
YMMV. http://fixunix.com/xwindows/91585-how-make-xlib-based-window-full-screen.html
The following worked:
(Inspiration was taken from here: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40997)
1) sudo apt-get install wmctrl
2) In your code:
Form form = new MainWindow();
form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
form.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
form.Load += (s, e) => {
Process process = new Process {
StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo {
FileName = "wmctrl",
Arguments = $"-r :ACTIVE: -b add,fullscreen",
CreateNoWindow = true
}
};
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
};
Application.Run(form);

If you want to use DirectShow, you must use WPFMediaKit.
With http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm it will be ok.

If thats using DirectShow then you probably just need a codec installed:

How can I programmatically set Windows Live Messenger (currently using 8.5.1302.1018) display picture. Possible solutions can be in C++, .NET or VB. Even just a hint could be useful.
There is an open source project called MSNP-Sharp that you should look at.
You can use this to connect to MSN and set your profile picture. Here's an example of setting the image:
try
{
Image fileImage = Image.FromFile(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ImageFileName"]);
DisplayImage displayImage = new DisplayImage();
displayImage.Image = fileImage;
m_Messenger.Owner.DisplayImage = displayImage;
m_Messenger.Nameserver.StorageService.UpdateProfile(fileImage, "MyPhoto");
}
catch
{
LogError(new StackTrace(true), "Error adding avatar image.");
}
