When I press the button count the number perfectly, but when you exit the application and return to count starts counting again and not when the number that was saved in IsolatedStorageSettings!!
How can I make it when the counting of the number that was saved in IsolatedStorageSettins?
(I use Windows phone 8.1 silverlight)
IsolatedStorageSettings setting = IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings;
int Points;
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.Loaded += Page2_Loaded;
}
private void Page2_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (setting.Contains("save"))
{
PointsText.Text = setting["save"].ToString();
}
}
private void Counts_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Points = Points + 1;
setting["save"] = Points;
PointsText.Text = setting["save"].ToString();
}
}
According to your code Points will always initialize to 0 when the page loads and when you click count it will increment from 0. You need to load the count from appsettings and put it into Points
private void Page2_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (setting.Contains("save"))
{
//Initialize Points with the value from settings
Points = int.Parse(setting["save"].ToString());
PointsText.Text = Points.ToString();
}
}
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
string[] nomi, percorsi; //nomi means names and percorsi means paths. I'm italian, that's why
private void apri_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog apri = new OpenFileDialog();
apri.Filter = "File *.mp3|*.mp3";
apri.Multiselect = true;
DialogResult scelta = apri.ShowDialog();
if (scelta == DialogResult.OK)
{
nomi = apri.SafeFileNames;
percorsi = apri.FileNames;
for (int i = 0; i < nomi.Length; i++)
Files.Items.Add(nomi[i]);
}
}
private void Files_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
player.URL = percorsi[Files.SelectedIndex];
}
}
}
I have this code to create a simple mp3 player. Is there a wayy to enable the previous/next buttons on the media player and play the next/previous song in the listbox? And also is there a way to find if the song ended so that I can play the next one? Thanks in advance!
private void player_PlayStateChange(object sender, AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent e)
{
if (e.newState == 8)
{
}
}
Found a solution. I'll post it so maybe it will help someone else. e.newState == 8 is true if the song is finished, so then I can start playing the next song.
I have a bit strange problem, which I find hard to debug
Sometimes I can't close my program and it freezes when I try to close it.
I made a large program for video image recognition.
I made a special button to close the camera. This button works with this by calling a function below, and it indeed, it does work.
private void exitcamera()
{
FinalVideo.SignalToStop();
FinalVideo.WaitForStop();
FinalVideo = null;
}
Notice that the original video was started like this
private void buttonStartCamera_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FinalVideo = new VideoCaptureDevice(VideoCaptureDevices[comboBox1.SelectedIndex].MonikerString);
FinalVideo.DesiredFrameSize = new System.Drawing.Size(640, 480);
FinalVideo.DesiredFrameRate = 90;
FinalVideo.NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler(FinalVideo_NewFrame);
FinalVideo.ProvideSnapshots = true; //snapshots
FinalVideo.Start();
}
Now my problem seems (and this is a guess because I can't debug this moment)
That some thread is still active wanting to update the main form with data.
However it might not be able to do so since that one is closing.
I think something like that is going on so I wrote on the main application form
private void MainForm_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
// Thread.Sleep(1000); // not sure about these delays might help syncing threads
ExitCamera();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
However with that last code in place the program has even more trouble to exit.
I would like to send the subthreads an exit, but I dont know their names (if they have a name), I dont know how to list them or to instruct them to stop they are in another dll not my part of the code. From some dll's I dont have the code.
So are there ways of listing sub threads and then close them one by one, if one presses the uppercorner right cross to exit the application?
Well I managed to debug the program, and finally found what caused the problem.
It is a little bit strange since as a button I could stop the camera using the exitcamera function.
However, inside a _formclosing event the same routine didn't work although it worked after I had marked out the waitforstop function.
private void exitcamera()
{
FinalVideo.SignalToStop();
// FinalVideo.WaitForStop(); << marking out that one solved it
FinalVideo.NewFrame -= new NewFrameEventHandler(FinalVideo_NewFrame); // as sugested
FinalVideo = null;
}
I am still a bit confused about it, why this wont work in case a closing event. But it seems to be solved by this.
Maybe you have memory leaks problems caused by the event. You could try to unhook the event while exiting the programm :
FinalVideo.NewFrame -= new NewFrameEventHandler(FinalVideo_NewFrame);
Maybe this will help.
This helped with another problem when I wanted to show a preview, click a "grab" button, change the resolution of the camera from low res to high res, grab an image, and then change back to low res for the preview. Here is what worked, even though I had to abandon it because stopping and starting the camera reset the auto exposure so the picture was awful on the grabbed image:
using AForge.Video;
using AForge.Video.DirectShow;
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private int PreviewRefreshDelayMS = 40;
private FilterInfoCollection VideoCaptureDevices;
private VideoCaptureDevice CustomerWebcam;

private int CustomerWebcam_CapabilitiesIndexMax;
private bool bCustomerWebcam_capture;
private Bitmap CustomerWebcam_bitmap;
private System.DateTime CustomerWebcam_nextframetime = DateTime.Now;

}

int MinPixels = 0;
int indexMax = -1;
int MaxPixels = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < CustomerWebcam.VideoCapabilities.Length; i++)
{
int pixels = CustomerWebcam.VideoCapabilities[i].FrameSize.Height * CustomerWebcam.VideoCapabilities[i].FrameSize.Width;
if (indexMin == -1) { indexMin = i; MinPixels = pixels; }
if (indexMax == -1) { indexMax = i; MaxPixels = pixels; }
if (pixels < MinPixels) { indexMin = i; MinPixels = pixels; }
if (pixels > MaxPixels) { indexMax = i; MaxPixels = pixels; }
}
CustomerWebcam_CapabilitiesIndexMin = indexMin;
CustomerWebcam_CapabilitiesIndexMax = indexMax;
CustomerWebcam.VideoResolution = CustomerWebcam.VideoCapabilities[indexMin];
CustomerWebcam.DisplayPropertyPage(IntPtr.Zero);
CustomerWebcam.Start();
}

{
CustomerWebcam_bitmap.Dispose();
CustomerWebcam_bitmap = null;
}
if (bCustomerWebcam_capture)
{
CustomerWebcam_bitmap = (Bitmap)eventArgs.Frame.Clone();
System.Random rnd = new Random();
CustomerWebcam_bitmap.Save("img" + Convert.ToString((int)(rnd.NextDouble() * 10000000)) + ".jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

One other thing to mention ... the AForge library was the most consistent way I was able to find for using a webcam to grab a still image and save as a JPEG without delving into the world of Windows 8 metro apps. I was hoping to use OpenCV.NET, or just the regular .NET API with DirectShow or WIA, but this was the most simple and it worked for me.
And here are some good samples that were hard to find but very useful: https://github.com/mdavid/aforge.net
I was dealing with this problem. Here is a simple way to stop the camera and close Win Form.
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
if (FinalVideo != null)
{
if (FinalVideo.IsRunning)
{
FinalVideo.SignalToStop();
FinalVideo = null;
}
}
}
In my situation WaitForStop() was needed, but the code execution was deading inside the method.
I've replaced it right after the call to SignalToStop(), with:
while (m_Device.IsRunning) { }
This is the code involved on the AForge library:
public bool IsRunning
{
get
{
if (this.thread != null)
{
if (!this.thread.Join(0))
{
return true;
}
this.Free();
}
return false;
}
}
public void WaitForStop()
{
if (this.thread != null)
{
this.thread.Join();
this.Free();
}
}
Edit: this didn't fix the hang the 100% of times. Sometimes a call to a com object (mediaControl.Stop();) on the WorkerThread() method just took forever.
Avoid direct interaction with the form - hope to have a better solution than timer but solves problem. I
Static helper class
public static Bitmap StaticBitmap = new Bitmap(100,100);
Form
public void Cam_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
{
lock (StaticHelper.StaticBitmap)
{
using (Bitmap b = (Bitmap)eventArgs.Frame)
{
StaticHelper.StaticBitmap = (Bitmap)b.Clone();
}
}
}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lock (StaticHelper.StaticBitmap)
{
pictureBox1.Image = (Bitmap)StaticHelper.StaticBitmap.Clone();
}
}
This will destroy your problem ( I have had this problem, i tried)
using System.Threading;
bool photo_was_taken = false;
private void buttonStartCamera_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(exitcamera));
thread.Start();
FinalVideo = new VideoCaptureDevice(VideoCaptureDevices[comboBox1.SelectedIndex].MonikerString);
FinalVideo.DesiredFrameSize = new System.Drawing.Size(640, 480);
FinalVideo.DesiredFrameRate = 90;
FinalVideo.NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler(FinalVideo_NewFrame);
FinalVideo.ProvideSnapshots = true; //snapshots
FinalVideo.Start();
}
private void FinalVideo_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
{
// what you want to do ( your code is here )
photo_was_taken = true;
}
private void exitcamera()
{
while (!photo_was_taken)
{
Thread.Sleep(5); // you can change wait milliseconds
}
FinalVideo.SignalToStop();
FinalVideo.NewFrame -= new NewFrameEventHandler(FinalVideo_NewFrame);
//FinalVideo.WaitForStop();
while (FinalVideo.IsRunning)
{
FinalVideo.Stop();
// FinalVideo = null; >> // that is not condition
}
}
This is what you need, 100% working solutions:
private void FormMain_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
Invoke((MethodInvoker) delegate
{
_videoSource.SignalToStop();
_videoSource.WaitForStop();
});
}
Please, let me add my working solution on closing a webcam with the wonderful library AForge.NET. It´s a pitty it development has been abandoned.
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
if (videoCaptureSource != null)
{
while (videoCaptureSource.IsRunning) // Perhaps you need to limit the number of iterations
{
videoCaptureSource.SignalToStop();
videoCaptureSource.WaitForStop();
if (videoSourcePlayer != null)
{
videoSourcePlayer.SignalToStop();
videoSourcePlayer.WaitForStop();
//videoSourcePlayer.NewFrame -= new NewFrameEventHandler(videoSourcePlayer_NewFrame); // Uncomment this line if you have added an event handler
}
Thread.Sleep(3000);
}
videoCaptureSource = null;
videoDevices = null;
videoSourcePlayer = null;
}
}
When I only needed the frame attaching an event handler to the VideoCaptureDevice (not the VideoSourcePlayer) I couldn´t stop the video from the VideoCaptureDevice, instead I used an invisible VideoSourcePlayer and stopped it from there.
i tried some solution, but nothing work.
i partial solved adding a thread sleep after WaitForStop
if (FinalVideo != null)
{
if (FinalVideo.IsRunning)
{
FinalVideo.SignalToStop();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
}
if i try to call Stop application will be freeze
I have a small project whereby I capture images from a webcam and decode the qr.
The following code captures an image and stores it to a local file, but only when it is not in the while loop. The system.threading appears to make the captured image just black. If i don't use it(the loop), it captures far too many images a second.
So is there a way of changing the aforge.video framerate so that i can capture an image every x seconds without while loop?
public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public int FrameRate { get; set; }
private FilterInfoCollection VideoCaptureDevices;
private VideoCaptureDevice FinalVideo;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
inputDevices.Items.Clear();
VideoCaptureDevices = new FilterInfoCollection(FilterCategory.VideoInputDevice);
foreach (FilterInfo VideoCaptureDevice in VideoCaptureDevices)
{
inputDevices.Items.Add(VideoCaptureDevice.Name);
}
inputDevices.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
public void Start_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FinalVideo = new VideoCaptureDevice(VideoCaptureDevices[inputDevices.SelectedIndex].MonikerString);
FinalVideo.NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler(FinalVideo_NewFrame);
FinalVideo.Start();
}
void FinalVideo_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
{
int i = 0;
while (i < 10)
{
Bitmap video = (Bitmap)eventArgs.Frame.Clone();
video.Save("C:\\Users\\Wayneio\\Desktop\\image\\test" + i + ".jpg");
i++;
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
}
public void Stop_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.FinalVideo.Stop();
}
}
Additionally I get this error when trying to stop the capture via the asp button:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object on this.FinalVideo.Stop();
Tried this to no avail:
((VideoCaptureDevice)FinalVideo).DesiredFrameRate = 10;
before you code start video set the framreate like this
FinalVideo.DesiredFrameRate = 10;
FinalVideo.Start();
Another option to skip frames that you save is to use a function that is not always true
if you have a global counter value myCounter
do a modulo calulation like below ix mycounter devided by 10 equals 1
myCounter++
if (m(ycounter %% 10))==1) { //code to save your bitmap }
ok i have question, i made this code to play axmediaplayer base on item listed on listbox.
first i make this code to make a list using opendialog :
private string[] files, path;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
files = openFileDialog1.SafeFileNames;
path = openFileDialog1.FileNames;
for (int i = 0; i < files.Length; i++) {
listBox1.Items.Add(files[i]);
}
}
}
and then it play the music when the listbox index changed (when the item on the list box cliked) using this code :
private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = path[listBox1.SelectedIndex];
}
it works fine, and then i want player to automove to the next song base on item on my listbox. with using events PlayStateChange, so i make this code
private void axWindowsMediaPlayer1_PlayStateChange(object sender, AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent e)
{
if (axWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState == WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsMediaEnded)
{
if(listBox1.SelectedIndex < files.Length - 1)
{
listBox1.SelectedIndex = listBox1.SelectedIndex + 1;
}
}
}
the selected index change, but the player doesn't auto play the next song. i must click the play button manually in order to play the list. can anyone help me up?
ok i found it, the solution is to add timer before playing the next song.
first im adding timer, that shoud be timer1. and then i change playstate event to something like this :
private void axWindowsMediaPlayer1_PlayStateChange(object sender, axWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent e)
{
if (axWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState == WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsMediaEnded)
{
timer1.Interval = 100;
timer1.Enabled = true;
}
}
then on the timer i adding tick event, the tick event is something like this :
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (listBox1.SelectedIndex < files.Length - 1)
{
listBox1.SelectedIndex++;
timer1.Enabled = false;
}
else
{
listBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;
timer1.Enabled = false;
}
}
now its work fine ^^
Below functionality worked for me:
private void axWindowsMediaPlayer1_PlayStateChange(object sender, AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent e)
{
if ((WMPLib.WMPPlayState)e.newState == WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsMediaEnded)
{
timer1.Interval = 100;
timer1.Start();
timer1.Enabled = true;
timer1.Tick += timer1_Tick;
}
}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
/// method to play video list items
myFuntiontoPlayVideo();
timer1.Enabled = false;
}
