Door library (Beta) - Special library

[agraham]

Klaus, did you see this library I posted a while ago? http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/addit...html#post14845 It provides F1 help as well as ToolTips for individual controls.

EDIT:- Of course you did, I just refreshed my memory of the interchange we had in that thread.

Hi Andrew,

I am afraid that M. Alzheimer has joined me, I really didn't remember this.
Anyway I am somewhere glad that I reinvented that wheel on my own in playing with the Door library.

The 'funny' thing is that I asked you for that at that time. I remembered something but not this.

Best regards and sorry.

is there a way to use the Door library to make sure that the minimixebox is not showing (i need to make sure that the app will have the "x" button on the top right hand not the minimizebox)

i know that Formlib can do that, but i'm interested in doing it using the Door library if it is possible.

a code example will be a perfect to answer to my question

Thank you all

Not tested, but something like this?

Obj1 is a Door object:

Obj1.New1(False)
Obj1.FromControl("Form1")
Obj1.SetProperty("MinimizeBox",False)

How is possible to use Door.dll for a call
PowerPolicyNotify(PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE, true)
MSDN link

This is not a .Net method. You cannot call it directly with the Door library.

Erel, I didn't know it...
About this method wrote chanppc Here, and I have thought that it will work...

Please, help me with such question:
How to get values of fields from structure properties of control/form?
For example, Control.Font.Size, Control.Font.Name, e.t.c.

My code returns "0" -

Obj.New1(False)
Obj.FromControl("Button1")
FontInfo.CreateNew("System.Drawing.Font" & FontInfo.System_Drawing)
FontInfo.Value = Obj.GetProperty("Font")
Msgbox(FontInfo.Value.Name)

    Obj1.New1(False)
Obj2.New1(False)
Obj3.New1(False)
Obj1.FromControl("Button1")
Obj2.Value = Obj1.GetProperty("Font")
Obj3.Value = Obj2.GetProperty("Size")
Msgbox(Obj2.GetProperty("Size"))
Msgbox(Obj2.GetProperty("Name"))
Msgbox(Obj2.GetProperty("Style"))

Actually you can't do any more with a Font in the Compact Framework than is already exposed by the Control itself (Size) and the FormLib library (Name and Style).
