I just found DockPanel Suite and am learning to use it.
I downloaded v2.9 and am using it with C# in VS2013. I created a simple Windows Forms MDI app. It has one type of child form which is a simple form with only a rich text box control in it. I loaded a few of these as documents. I added an icon to the document's tab to indicate whether the rich text box text has been saved or not.
I change the tab icon anytime the user types in the rich text box through the use of the text_Changed event:
private void txtCode_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//The text has changed, set the warning icon.
this.Icon = MyApp.Properties.Resources.Warning;
}
The problem I have is that the icon does not update when running at full speed. It updates fine when I am single stepping through the above event. It also updates fine when I load a file within the form's Load event;
private void frmCode_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Get the full file path.
string sFile = Path.Combine(cCoCoIDE.CodeBaseRootFolder, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(cCoCoIDE.CodeBaseFile), this.Text);
//Load the source file into the code window.
//A few validations.
//Make sure the file exists.
if (File.Exists(sFile))
{
//File is there. Is it empty? Load only if not empty.
if (new FileInfo(sFile).Length > 0)
{
txtCode.LoadFile(sFile);
//I had to add the following because the text changed
//event fires when I load the file and I need to start
//off with the green checkmark icon.
this.Icon = CoCoIDE.Properties.Resources.GreenChk;
}
}
}
I tried the following after I change the icon (in the Text Changed event):
this.ShowIcon = true;
this.Refresh();
this.Update();
Note: I tried these one at a time. The above is just a list of methods.
Can anyone help me with this? Thank you! SgarciaV
