Gridview in C++ windows form app cant edit - visual-c++

I am not sure if I am missing something, but for the life of me I cannot get the grid to be editable.
All I am doing is loading a file to a Dictionary, then binding that Dictionary to the grid.
The grid displays the data in the Dictionary, but I cant edit any data in the grid.
I tried changing the modes also:
EditOnEnter
EditOnKeyStroke
And Nada.
Any ideas? PS: I have not done much GUI work in C++, so maybe I am overlooking something.
Here is how I load the grid.
Dictionary<String^, String^>^ data = gcnew Dictionary<String^, String^>();
BindingSource^ bindingSource1 = gcnew BindingSource();
// Read and display lines from the file until the end of the file is reached.
while ( line = sr->ReadLine() )
{
array<String^>^split = line->Split( chars );
data->Add(split[0], split[1]);
}
dataGridView1->DataSource = bindingSource1;
bindingSource1->DataSource = data;
dataGridView1->AutoResizeColumns( DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode::AllCells);
Thank in advance.

I found the problem. You have to use an update-able source and a Dictionary is not update-able.
Once I changed to a DataTablew, problem solved.

MFC MDI dynamically changing tab style from a property dialog

It has been 10 months since I worked on my app due to a death in the family, just started looking at it again and still not sure how to solve the problem.
The project inquires/help started here:
MFC MDI Collecting control states for the "apply" button routine
Since this is a specific focused question, I didn't want to muck up my other thread, so what I'd like to do is change the documents tab styles after the view is loaded. I know that this can be done because the master repository from Microsoft with all the code examples has a project called VCSamples-master\VCSamples-master\VC2010Samples\MFC\Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack\TabControl which I have looked at. It dawns on me that even though I can follow its code, the calls are from within the MDI window itself where my issue is I'm trying to do this via a property page dialog using OnApply which changes things.
I was able to do part of this properly with the help of the thread above to the OutputPane successfully because I was able to get the Pane handle and execute. I was told that for the MDI tabs after creation that I need to parse the tabs, count them, and then execute. So my issue here is after I capture the tabs......how to change their styles.
Here is the code as it stands:
BOOL CSettingsUserTabs::OnApply()
{
BOOL bResult = CMFCPropertyPage::OnApply();
if (bResult)
{
// Update Output Pane Tab Styles (Works 100%)
AfxGetApp()->WriteProfileInt(_T("Settings"), _T("UserTabStyle"), m_style_tabs); // Save value to registry
((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->m_wndOutput.m_wndTabs.ModifyTabStyle((CMFCTabCtrl::Style)m_style_tabs);
((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->m_wndOutput.m_wndTabs.RecalcLayout();
//Get the open file tabs in the MDI
for (POSITION pos = AfxGetApp()->GetFirstDocTemplatePosition(); pos != NULL; )
{
CDocTemplate* pTempl = AfxGetApp()->GetNextDocTemplate(pos);
for (POSITION pos1 = pTempl->GetFirstDocPosition(); pos1 != NULL; )
{
CDocument* pDoc = pTempl->GetNextDoc(pos1);
for (POSITION pos2 = pDoc->GetFirstViewPosition(); pos2 != NULL; )
{
CView* pView = pDoc->GetNextView(pos2);
if (pView->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CTrainView)))
{
// THIS IS WHERE MY ISSUE IS, NOW THAT ALL THE TABS ARE
// CAPTURED, HOW DO I ADDRESS THEM LIKE WHAT IS SHOWN
// ABOVE:
//((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->xxxxxx.yyyyyy.ModifyTabStyle((CMFCTabCtrl::Style)m_style_tabs);
}
}
}
}
}
return bResult;
}
If I can figure this last piece out, I'll be basically finished, I just can't seem to find a solution on how to do this via property sheet via OnApply.
Any suggestions or actual code examples I can see to solve my problem?
FYI: No, I haven't had any time to take additional OOP to solve this. I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance so I can move on after getting this sorted.
Thanks,
Chris
EDIT 1:
So I took a closer look at Constantine's suggestion and here is what I came up with:
BOOL CSettingsUserTabs::OnApply()
{
BOOL bResult = CMFCPropertyPage::OnApply();
if (bResult)
{
// Update Output Pane Tab Styles
AfxGetApp()->WriteProfileInt(_T("Settings"), _T("UserTabStyle"), m_style_tabs); // Save value to registry
((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->m_wndOutput.m_wndTabs.ModifyTabStyle((CMFCTabCtrl::Style)m_style_tabs);
((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->m_wndOutput.m_wndTabs.RecalcLayout();
CMFCTabCtrl& MDI_STYLES = ((CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd())->GetMDITabs();
MDI_STYLES.ModifyTabStyle((CMFCTabCtrl::Style)m_style_tabs);
MDI_STYLES.RecalcLayout();
CMDIFrameWndEx* pMainFrame = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CMDIFrameWndEx, GetTopLevelFrame());
pMainFrame->SetFocus();
pMainFrame->RecalcLayout();
}
return bResult;
}
The m_styles_tabs is getting the index value of 0-8 when I select the radio button. The code compiles and runs and I see the index value change when I break on it, but the tabs for the MDI are still not updating. Does the edited code make sense based on the members shown here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/mfc/reference/cmfctabctrl-class?view=msvc-170#modifytabstyle
I think this the right direction, am I missing something?

How to display an image saved as "/storage/emulated/0/Download/IMG_1582623402006.jpg" in emulator

I capture a image by camera in emulator and it was saved as:
"/storage/emulated/0/Download/IMG_1582623402006.jpg"
I am trying to display this image in < ImageView > as the following:
Bitmap finalBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/storage/emulated/0/Download/IMG_1582623402006.jpg");
holder.image.setImageBitmap(scaledBitmap);
but it shows that "finalBitmap" is empty. What have I missed?
Thanks in advance!
You posted this over a year ago, so it may be too old at this point.
It appears that you are using two variables for your bitmaps: finalBitmap and scaledBitmap and not referencing the proper one in the setImageBitmap command.
Instead, have you tried this?
holder.image.setImageBitmap(finalBitmap);
Not totally sure, but adding some attributes in "options" seems make it work in emulator:
final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inScaled = true;
options.inSampleSize = 5;
Bitmap scaledBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(/storage/emulated/0/Download/IMG_1582623402006.jpg, options);
holder.image.setImageBitmap(scaledBitmap);

apache odftoolkit portrait/landscape mode

I'm using library apache odftoolkit to generate report from Java code to *.odt file. Have code like this:
outputOdt = TextDocument.newTextDocument();
Paragraph p = outputOdt.addParagraph("some text");
p.appendTextContent("some text");
I'm adding paragraphs, tables, setting fonts, and it works fine.
But I need to set some pages in my document in Landscape mode but
don't know how to do this. I found API class PageLayoutProperties and method setPrintOrientation(), but don't know where to call it. Anybody know?
Found solution:
TextDocument outputOdt;
for( Iterator<StyleMasterPageElement> it = outputOdt.getOfficeMasterStyles().getMasterPages(); it.hasNext(); ) {
StyleMasterPageElement page = it.next();
String pageLayoutName = page.getStylePageLayoutNameAttribute();
OdfStylePageLayout pageLayoutStyle = page.getAutomaticStyles().getPageLayout( pageLayoutName );
PageLayoutProperties pageLayoutProps = PageLayoutProperties.getOrCreatePageLayoutProperties( pageLayoutStyle );
double tmp = pageLayoutProps.getPageWidth();
pageLayoutProps.setPageWidth( pageLayoutProps.getPageHeight());
pageLayoutProps.setPageHeight( tmp );
}
I came across this existing question and answer:
How can the Page Size, Page Orientation, and Page Margins of an ods Spreadsheet Be Set Using ODFDOM?
which is about doing the same thing for an ODS spreadsheet, which is essentially the same. Key is to set the page height and width as well as the print orientation in the PageLayoutProperties

F# Winforms Charting Asynchronous Updating

I'm trying to create a chart in winforms that databinds to a list in memory, and gets updated dynamically as the list changes. Here is my code:
open System
open System.Linq
open System.Collections
open System.Collections.Generic
open System.Drawing
open System.Windows.Forms
open System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization
open System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting
let link = new LinkedList<double>()
let rnd = new System.Random()
for i in 1 .. 10 do link.AddFirst(rnd.NextDouble()) |> ignore
let series = new Series()
let chart = new System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart(Dock = DockStyle.Fill, Palette = ChartColorPalette.Pastel)
series.Points.DataBindY(link)
let form = new Form(Visible = true, Width = 700, Height = 500)
form.Controls.Add(chart)
let formloop = async {
while not chart.IsDisposed do
link.AddFirst((new System.Random()).NextDouble()) |> ignore
link.RemoveLast()
}
do
Async.StartImmediate(formloop)
Application.Run(form)
Console.WriteLine("Done")
Console.ReadLine() |> ignore
The async seems to work, but the chart never shows anything. It just shows a blank window. What am I doing wrong?
LinkedList<T> has no way to signal that it's been updated, so Chart has no way of knowing when to redraw itself.
In order for databinding to update the view, the source list must implement IBindingList and raise appropriate event when the contents change.
Separately, I must point out that it's dangerous to directly access UI properties/methods from non-UI threads (such as chart.IsDisposed in your code). In WinForms, this limitation is rarely actually enforced, so sometimes this might seem to work fine, only to crash later on a customer's machine with no way to attach a debugger.
You need to add the series to the SeriesCollection of the chart.
chart.Series.Add series
You need to construct a chart area and add it to the ChartAreaCollection of the chart.
let area = new ChartArea()
chart.ChartAreas.Add area
You need to make sure that the data binding method is called after the chart and form are set up.
...
form.Controls.Add chart
series.Points.DataBindY link
And now there's no way to communicate changes of your bound collection to the DataPointCollection of the series, as mentioned in Fyodor Soikin's answer. I'm not quite sure that IBindingList is an appropriate response;
while it's possible to hook into the ListChanged event, we could as well manipulate the series' DataPointCollection directly.
let formloop = async{
while not chart.IsDisposed do
series.Points.RemoveAt 0
series.Points.AddY(rnd.NextDouble()) |> ignore
do! Async.Sleep 100 }
Finally I'd like to point out this contribution by John Atwood which adresses both points raised by Fyodor; the data binding issue (by not using it) and the UI-thread safety issue.

Any way to get a HaxeFlixel group to clear out?

There is a too long, didn't read version down below.
So I've been making a little game in which the player has to click on a grid of bricks that matches the color of the needed brick in the upper right hand corner of the screen. After they click on the needed color, the bricks explode and the bricks of the same color next to them explode as well creating combos. That leaves holes in the grid so I have to somehow reset the grid itself without resetting the gamestate itself. I've got something working right now which is this:
private function ResetNow():Void
{
if (Restter == 1) Restter = 0;
//if this block is up here, same results
/*
wantedBricks.kill();
wantedBrik._changeColor = FlxMath.rand(0, 2);
bricks.autoReviveMembers = true;
bricks.revive();
*/
Restter = 0;
//Removes stray detectors so the neverending combo bug won't occur
for (stray in dets.members) stray.kill();
if (Restter == 0)
{
wantedBricks.kill();
wantedBrik._changeColor = FlxMath.rand(0, 2);
bricks.autoReviveMembers = true;
bricks.revive();
wantedBricks.autoReviveMembers = true;
wantedBricks.revive();
for (zgem in bricks.members) zgem.EQUITYCHECK = FlxMath.rand(0, 2);
}
//add(bricks);
Restter = 1;
}
So, again, I have a grid of blocks set up at create, that is group bricks. And I have a sprite in the upper right corner which is wantedBrik. What happens during gameplay, is the player clicks on the bricks that matches the wanted bricks to clear them out of the grid. When there are no more wantedBricks(a group), it is supposed to reset the grid, and change the color of the wantedBrik. I also have it somewhere else in the code that if a member of the big grid's EQUITYCHECK(basic object hacked in value) is equal to the wantedBrik, add it to the wantedBricks(which, is why I'm checking for no more of them). So, what happens?
Well, if the color of the wantedBrik doesn't change, everything's fine and resets like normal. the wantedBricks group acurately counts the bricks that actually match the wantedBrik's color. And when it does change, for some reason, gameplay is normal. BUT, wantedBricks not only thinks that the old color is still needed, but it also thinks the new color is still needed too. So when the player clicks the new needed color bricks, they do explode, but because wantedBrik thinks the old color is still wanted, it doesn't hit null and the grid won't reset.
What can I do to make sure that wantedBricks behaves correctly after a color change?
TL;DR version: I need to get a Haxe array to forget or lose old numbers. How can I do this?
The "Pirate Pig" sample may be useful to you. Since it is a puzzle game, there may be some similar problems that were solved there. You can find it using openfl create or nme create depending on which you are currently using.
You can create a simple array like this:
var myArray = [];
You can also type arrays, like this:
var numbers = new Array<Float>();
Then you can use push(), concat() and other array methods.
