Working with windows programming [GUI programming] in C# .Net

 

 Working with windows programming [GUI programming]:-

1. working with from and controls is called as GUI programming.
2. Windows programming supports to develop disk top applications, games, animations, Rich interactive, applications, etc,…………
3. Formworks like a container, where any number of controls can be placed.
4. The form is also called as WIN FORM (Windows form)
5. Every Form is a class that must be inherited from a predefined class called FROM.

  Class Test: Form

{

  }

  Test form name

Formpredefined class  

Example :

Developing a user-defined from at the run time.  

open windows form application project

place a button

code in GD  

Class Test: Form

Code for Button 1_ click

Test t = new Test ();

1. Back color = color. Green;
2. show ();

Every Form will be associated with three files

   

Working with FORM properties:-  (F4)  

1. Name: - this property changes object names with controls and class name with Forms
2. Back color: Background color changes
3. Fore color:-
4. Font:-
5. Background Image
6. Background Image Layout
7. Opacity (transparent): when this value is decreasing then the transparency ratio will be increasing  (2……………..100)
8. Transparency key:- this value must be the same as form back color.

Then except form, the border and controls body remaining port will be displayed fully transparent.

9. Form border-style : none
10. Window state : normal / Minimize / Maximize

Developing a Screen Saver :-

  Generally, Screen saves are.SCR files,  which will be under  c:/windows/system 32 folder Open windows forms application project with project name Abcd  (output file will be abcd. exe)

  Form properties  (F4) and set Back color = black Form border style  = none. Window state = maximize  

• Place a picture Box control  propertiesimage = select an Image
• Place a timer control àproperties  enabled = true
• Code in GD. Int x = 0;
• Code for Timer 1_Tick

• {
  
  X = x +5;
  
  If (x > 400) X = 0;
  
  Picture box 1. Location = new point (x, x);
  
  }  
  
  

  Code for Form 1 key press event ( Form 1 àproperties àclick on yellow colored Icon (events)àdouble click on key press )

{

Application .Exit ();

}

Execute the Project (F5)  

OBS:-

  Abcd .exe file will be created under  

D:/c 194/abcd/bin/debug Folder  

Rename Abcd .exe with Abcs.Scr  

copy Abcd .Scr in to C :/windows / system 32 folder; Then check box desktop properties

Screen saver  

Form Properties continuation:-

 Context menu Strip :

   

• The Associated context menu strip control will be displayed when right-clicked on an object.

 

Example on context menu strip:-

  Display an Icon in Systems along with context menu strip.  

 

• Open windows form application project
• Place a color – dialog control
• Place a context menu strip control on the form
• Design context menu strip with the following options

     

• • Code for colors menu Item ( double click on colors)
  {
• Color Dialog 1. Show Dialog ();
• this. Back color = color Diaglog1. Color;
• }  
  • Code for Exit menu Item
  {
• Application .Exit ();
• }  
  • Place a notify Icon control à properties à Icon = select icon file
  • Context menu strip = context menu strip 1 à name of the control.
        Execute the project (F5) Then observe the system’s tray for a new icon

   

Form properties Continuation

2. Accept button: the Associated button will be executed when pressed “Enter key”
3. Cancel Button: the associated button will be executed when pressed “Escape key”

   

  Example:-  

àOpen windows form Application project àPlace five text boxes and two buttons  

Code for button 1 _ click
{

This. Back color = color .Green ;

}

  à  code for button2_ click (clearing the text boxes)

{

For each (control c in this. controls)

{

If (c. Get type (). Name == “Text box”)

text = “”;
}  

• Choose from properties

Accept Button = Button 1

Cancel Button = Button 2
