ShowDialog() in Mono - mono

I have 2 form in Mono.In OnClickEvent of a button in Form1, i want to showDialog Form2 and fetch a answer from Form2.In C# i have this code
Form2 F=new Form2();
F.ShowDialog();
int MyAnswer=F.Answer;
But in Mono ShowDialog() function does not exist.
this question mean: i want to show Form2 but Form1 wait for result of Form2

Instead of using Gtk.Window you can use Gtk.Dialog and use this code.
ResponseType response = ResponseType.None;
using (var dlg = new YesNoDialog ("Title", "Question", "Yes Button", "No Button"))
response = (ResponseType) dialog.Run ();
if (response == ResponseType.Yes)
OverwriteFile ();

It looks like you are trying to use System.Windows.Forms.Form.ShowDialog() in a Gtk# application.
The equivalent Gtk# function is called Gtk.Dialog.Run, see Is there a Form.Showdialog equivalent for Gtk# Windows?
You also need to create a Dialog, not a Form - ie. when you add the new class in MonoDevelop, you choose "Gtk / Dialog", not "Gtk / Widget".

Cannot get the selected item in a ListViewer in a JFace Dialog

I created a dialog class that inherited from JFace Dialog using Windows Builder. In that, I added some controls included a button and a JFace ListViewer. In widgetSelected() function of the button, I can get out the selected item in the ListViewer. But in `okPressed(), I cannot get this. I don't know why. Can you help me?
Thanks!
If you want to access UI elements in okPressed you must do so before calling super.okPressed() because that will close the dialog and dispose of the controls. So something like:
#Override
protected void okPressed()
{
IStructuredSelection sel = viewer.getStructuredSelection();
// TODO deal with selection
// Call super.okPressed() last
super.okPressed();
}
Alternatively save the selection when your widgetSelected is called.

Connecting 2 Forms together [duplicate]

How to make the child form follow main form.
for example: open a winform [.net2], winform opens form, form follows the mainform if mainform is moving.
Use the LocationChanged event from the MainForm to always set the location of the ChildForm.
Working example:
Form childForm = new Form();
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) {
base.OnLoad(e);
childForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
childForm.Width = this.Width;
childForm.Height = 96;
childForm.Location = new Point(this.Left, this.Bottom);
childForm.Show();
}
protected override void OnLocationChanged(EventArgs e) {
base.OnLocationChanged(e);
if (childForm != null) {
childForm.Location = new Point(this.Left, this.Bottom);
}
}
Superficially simple answer is just to add handlers for when Mainform is moved or resized and then set childform Location and size accordingly.
However do you say want to stop main form being moved such that childform end up off screen.
Can child form be moved independantly.
What about minimise and maximise?
Might you want other arrangements, nore than one child, left and right, child form above main form...
Be worth writing a layout class, and shoving all this stuff off to it.

Event Handler Tabbed Web Browser With GeckoFX

I tried to make a tabbed web browser with geckofx. This is my code to make a new tab:
Dim t As New TabPage
Dim bro As New GeckoWebBrowser
bro.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
t.Text = "New Tab"
t.Controls.Add(bro)
TabMain.TabPages.Add(t)
TabMain.SelectedTab = t
bro.Navigate("http://www.google.com")
Now, how to handle DocumentCompleted and DocumentTitleChanged in GeckoWebBrowser? I want to show message if DocumentCompleted event triggered and change window title if DocumentTitleChanged event triggered.
Not sure about the vb.net syntax, but the principle is simple (and it should be fairly simple to transfer from c# to vb)
So, for example:
1) attach an event handler to your browser
browser.DocumentCompleted += browser_DocumentCompleted;
2) generate the method that will do what you need:
void browser_DocumentCompleted(object sender, Gecko.Events.GeckoDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
GWB browser = (GWB)sender;
if (browser.Document == null) return;
//do anything you wanna do when document is completed
AnyMethodBasedOnBrowser(browser);
//e.g. access GUI elements by property binding
TabTitle = "Complete";
//or even alternatively access the control directly
var TabControl = browser.Parent;
//etc etc
}
That should do the trick for you!

DirectoryDialog in custom Wizard with SWT and JFace

I have to create a custom wizard to develop a Eclipse Plug-in. I wish to use a DirectoryDialog but I can't get work with the other elements. I'm seeing that the DirectoyDialog is used in a "extends composite" class, but, is there any way to use in a "wizardPage"?
Thanks at all!
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.DirectoryDialog extends Dialog and can only be used as a pop-up dialog. It cannot be embedded in a wizard.
You can put a Button on the wizard page that displays the directory dialog when clicked.
Use the following code in your WizardPage
Button btnBrowse = new Button(container, SWT.NONE);
btnBrowse.setText("Browse..");
btnBrowse.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
#Override
public void handleEvent(Event e) {
DirectoryDialog dirDialog = new DirectoryDialog(getShell());
dirDialog.setText("Select the parent directory for tools");
String location = dirDialog.open();
}
});
getShell() api used in 4th line is from WizardPage class.

Add elements to listbox on another page (Windows Phone 7) in VB.net

net to make a Windows Phone application. I have a listBox on page1 called listBox1 and in page 2 I have a button called btnAdd. I want to be able to add an item into the listbox1 from page1 whenever btnAdd is pressed in page2. I knew how to do this on VB6 but it seems different on vb.Net. Can someone please help? Thanks
How about binding the listBox1 to a datasource that is available from both pages (maybe in a separate class) then updating that datasource from the btnAdd click event.
Example:
In Page1 add:
public static List<string> listItems = new List<string>();
In the OnNavigatedTo override add:
listBox1.ItemsSource = null;
listBox1.ItemsSource = listItems;
In Page2 btnAdd_Click handler add:
Page1.listItems.Add(textBox1.Text);
Sorry the above is C# but it shouldn't be difficult to get the VB equivalent.
Using the ViewModel approach and implementing INotifyPropertyChanged would be cleaner and avoid needing to reset the ItemSource in OnNavigatedTo.
