Find CheckBox content control in word and check with Spire.Doc? - c#

I have a word file with content control checkboxes. How to find those checkboxes with sprire.doc ???

The demo below explains how to find check box content controls and update their check states with Spire.Doc.

using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace UpdateCheckBox
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Document document = new Document();
document.LoadFromFile("CheckBoxContentControl.docx");
//Get the content controls in the document
StructureTags structureTags = GetAllTags(document);
List<StructureDocumentTagInline> tagInlines = structureTags.tagInlines;
//Loop through the controls
for (int i = 0; i < tagInlines.Count; i++)
{
//Get the control type
string type = tagInlines[i].SDTProperties.SDTType.ToString();
//Update the check state of check box
if (type == "CheckBox")
{
SdtCheckBox scb = tagInlines[i].SDTProperties.ControlProperties as SdtCheckBox;
if (scb.Checked)
{
scb.Checked = false;
}
else
{
scb.Checked = true;
}
}
}
//Save the document
document.SaveToFile("Output.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
//Open the document
WordDocViewer("Output.docx");

Music Player in C# Does Tot Play The Song I Added Later

I made an mp3 player in C#. If I select the songs at once, they automatically play one after the other, but when it comes to a song I added later, I get a "System.IndexOutOfRangeException" error. When I add music later, I want the song to play automatically one after the other, how can I do that?
string[] yol, dosya;
private void Btn_Muzik_Ekle_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
ofd.Multiselect = true;
if (ofd.ShowDialog()==System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
dosya = ofd.SafeFileNames;
yol = ofd.FileNames;
for (int x = 0; x < dosya.Length; x++)
{
Lb_Muzik_Listesi.Items.Add(dosya[x]);
}
}
}
private void Lb_Muzik_Listesi_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//This Is Where I Got The Error
OynatmaEkranı.URL = yol[Lb_Muzik_Listesi.SelectedIndex];
OynatmaEkranı.Ctlcontrols.play();
try
{
var file = TagLib.File.Create(yol[Lb_Muzik_Listesi.SelectedIndex]);
var bin = (byte[])(file.Tag.Pictures[0].Data.Data);
Pb_Muzik_Kapak.Image = Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(bin));
}
catch
{
}
}
private void Zamanlayıcı_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) //Timer
{
if (OynatmaEkranı.playState==WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPlaying)
{
Pb_Muzik.Maximum=(int)OynatmaEkranı.Ctlcontrols.currentItem.duration;
Pb_Muzik.Value = (int)OynatmaEkranı.Ctlcontrols.currentPosition;
try
{
Lbl_Muzik_Sure.Text = OynatmaEkranı.Ctlcontrols.currentPositionString;
Lbl_Muzik_Bitis.Text = OynatmaEkranı.Ctlcontrols.currentItem
.durationString.ToString();
}
catch
{
}
}
if (Pb_Muzik.Value==Pb_Muzik.Maximum)
{

{
Lb_Muzik_Listesi.SelectedIndex = Lb_Muzik_Listesi.SelectedIndex + 1;
}
}
}
You can avoid this problem managing your data in the ListBox. Create a class with your required info (the file and the name):
public class MuzikItem
{
public MuzikItem(string file)
{
this.Text = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file);
this.Url = file;
}
public string Text { get; set; }
public string Url { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
// This is the text to show in ListBox
return this.Text;
}
}
Add items to the ListBox using this class:
foreach (var file in ofd.FileNames)
{
var item = new MuzikItem(file);
Lb_Muzik_Listesi.Items.Add(item);
}
And use it:
var item = Lb_Muzik_Listesi.SelectedItem as MuzikItem;
if (item != null)
{
OynatmaEkranı.URL = item.Url;
OynatmaEkranı.Ctlcontrols.play();
try
{
var file = TagLib.File.Create(item.Url);
var bin = (byte[])file.Tag.Pictures[0].Data.Data;
Pb_Muzik_Kapak.Image = Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(bin));
}
catch
{
}
}
You try to get the selected item as a MuzikItem (all your items are of this class so this return null only when no item is selected) and with this, you have the Url.
UPDATE
I like manage this things with events. In your Ticks methods:
if (Pb_Muzik.Value == Pb_Muzik.Maximum)
{
OnSongFinished();
}
And create a method to manage this event:
private void OnSongFinished()
{
if (Lb_Muzik_Listesi.SelectedIndex < Lb_Muzik_Listesi.Items.Count - 1)
{
Lb_Muzik_Listesi.SelectedIndex = Lb_Muzik_Listesi.SelectedIndex + 1;
}
else
{
// Stop the player
OynatmaEkrani.Ctlcontrols.stop();
}
}

use variables from a class in other classes

I create a class that I define some variables with their properties.
also I have two class "Form1" and "Form2".
I assign values to this variables in "Form1" but when I want to use the values in "Form2" after I assigned them and show them through MessageBox.Show(), I find out the variables are empty.
class Property
{
private string a_username;
private string a_email;
public string username
{
get { return a_username; }
set { a_username = value; }
}
public string email
{
get { return a_email; }
set { a_email = value; }
}
public string password { get; set; } = "88306540";
}
the assignment: (this function is in "Form1")
Property pro = new Property();
private void CreateUserInform()
{
userid = File.ReadLines(filePath).Skip(idx).Take(1).First();
// MessageBox.Show(userid);
HtmlElementCollection elemcol = webBrowser2.Document.GetElementsByTagName("option");
int i = 0;
string[] mailservices = new string[elemcol.Count];
foreach (HtmlElement elem in elemcol)
{
mailservices[i] = elem.InnerText;
i += 1;
}
pro.username = userid;
Random rand = new Random();
mailservice = mailservices[rand.Next(10)];
pro.email = pro.username + mailservice;
wb2func_create_mail();
}
call function: (this function is in "Form2" and it called after previous function.)
Property pro = new Property();
public void signup_fill()
{
HtmlElementCollection elemcol = site.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input");
foreach (HtmlElement elem in elemcol)
{
if (elem.Name == "login")
elem.SetAttribute("value", pro.username);
if (elem.Name == "remail")
elem.SetAttribute("value", pro.email);
if (elem.Name == "password")
elem.SetAttribute("value", pro.password);
if (elem.Name == "password2")
elem.SetAttribute("value", pro.password);
}
MessageBox.Show(pro.username);
}
I should mention that the "password" variable was shown pretty good but the others were shown empty.
also when I call them in "Form1" that I used to define them, it works just fine and shows the correct assignment.
the completely Form2 codes:
namespace Bypassing
{
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
string referal_link;
Property pro = new Property();
public Form2(Property form1Property)
{

if (elem.Name == "remail")
elem.SetAttribute("value", pro.email);
if (elem.Name == "password")
elem.SetAttribute("value", pro.password);
if (elem.Name == "password2")
elem.SetAttribute("value", pro.password);
}

Seems that password is showing fine as it's defined at the Property class itself so, each time you create a new object of that class, it will be setted by default untill you change it.
The reason you don't see the data from Form 1 at Form 2 seems to be that you aren't passing the Property object from Form 1 to Form 2, so you have a Property object filled with data at Form 1 but at Form 2 you remain with a newly created Property object. Just modify the Form 2 constructor so it accepts a Property parameter and pass it from Form 1.
Example (this goes on your Form2's code):
public Form2 (Property form1Property){
InitializeComponent();
pro = form1Property;
}
That creates a code that executes each time you create a new Form2 and requires you to pass a Property object to create it (new Form2(pro); in Form1) so it assigns Form2's Property object to the one you passed when creating it's object on Form1.
Also make your Property class public, so you can use it as a parameter at Form2's constructor.
More info about constructors here
Hope this helps you!
P.S: Looking at your code I see that you're creating a global Form2 object. You should create it at btn_start_Click before you are showing it, so data is filled up correctly (when you show it your Form1's Property object is filled, now when you create it it's not filled)

C# WPF Read/Edit CSV

I am currently writing an application in WPF C# that is some kind of helper for other processes which are written in Java. Those other processes require a configuration.csv in which different "names" are listed with a column that says "SKIP". If the column is X at Skip, my java program will skip those names and therefore their dependent processes.
If I open the CSV with Excel and edit the rows, everything works perfectly fine. That's not the problem. What I want to achieve is to list the rows into a DataGrid in a WPF App (except the first and last row), where the user can tick a checkbox to decide if he wants to skip that specific name or not. By pressing Save, the .CSV gets updated.
I already wrote some code with a friend who's more familiar with this topic. It worked fine in WinForms but doesn't work on WPF. We are not able to get the values of the checkboxes and not able to save them into the CSV.
CODE:
private void OBJ_SaveButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (OBJ_DataGrid.Items.Count == 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("Kein Datensatz in der View.");
return;
}
/*if (Directory.Exists(path))
{
if (File.Exists(filepath))
{
string tmp = null;
try
{
FileStream fileStr = new FileStream(filepath, FileMode.Create);
StreamWriter strWriter = new StreamWriter(fileStr);
strWriter.WriteLine("SFObject;Skip");
for(int i=0;i< itmGrd.Count;i++)
{
switch (itmGrd[i].ItemValue)
{
case true:
tmp = itmGrd[i].ItemName + ";X";
break;
case false:
tmp = itmGrd[i].ItemName + ";";
break;
}
strWriter.WriteLine(tmp);
}
strWriter.WriteLine("SuccessMSG;");
strWriter.Close();
fileStr.Close();
LoadConf();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

I hope that you guys can help me out, I really don't understand why it's not working. I also have to admit that I am not any near of being proficient in C#.

How to get an image to display in Picturbox from a Listbox selected item

Did you check the path in variable image. Assuming path is correct, Try below
picboxBodyImage.Image = Image.FromFile(image);

ErrorProvider - Change BackColor Instead of Showing Icon

I'm stuck with some legacy code that I want to upgrade a bit. I want to change the way the ErrorProvider shows the error status on a Control. Default behavior is the Icon, and a ToolTip if you hover on the icon.
I would like to change this behavior to be more similar to what we use in our WPF controls. Which is a red back-color(Salmon pink) and the tool-tip on the control itself.
Any tips, links or some way forward
EDIT.
See my answer below, on what i ended up with.
ErrorProvider component doesn't support this feature and if you need it you can create it yourself.
You can subscribe to BindingComplete event of a BindingManagerBase and then you can use the event arg which is of type BindingCompleteEventArgs that contains some useful properties:
ErrorText to determine if there is an error in data-binding
Binding.Control to determine the control which is bounded to
These are enough for us to implement our solution.
Code
Here is a sample code which shows how can you handle BindingComplete event and use it to change BackColor and tool-tip of a control based on it's valid or invalid state.
Suppose you have a binding source, myBindingSource which is bound to a SampleModel class which is implemented IDataErrorInfo. You can subscribe to BindingComplete event of this.BindingContext[this.myBindingSource]:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.myBindingSource.DataSource = new SampleModel();
var bindingManager = this.BindingContext[this.myBindingSource];
bindingManager.BindingComplete += bindingManager_BindingComplete;
}
Dictionary<Control, Color> Items = new Dictionary<Control, Color>();
private void bindingManager_BindingComplete(object sender, BindingCompleteEventArgs e)
{
var control = e.Binding.Control;
//Store Original BackColor
if (!Items.ContainsKey(control))
Items[control] = control.BackColor;
//Check If there is an error
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.ErrorText))
{
control.BackColor = Color.Salmon;
this.errorToolTip.SetToolTip(control, e.ErrorText);
}
else
{
e.Binding.Control.BackColor = Items[e.Binding.Control];
this.errorToolTip.SetToolTip(control, null);
}
}
Thank you Reza Aghaei. This is what i came up with based on your comment and some additional searching... Some of this code comes from msdn resource
