Janus Controls Wrapper

Guillermo Vilas — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:26:06 GMT

Thanks everyone for helping me through the forum posts, I'm attaching the source code of a wrapper I'm working on. The Janus Grid Control is still a work in progress since I'm working on a several enhancements.

I'm open to suggestions and criticism too :hehe:

I totally agree with you Trent. I just wanted to share a wrapper for those developers that are using Janus adding the most common functionality of the SF Framework. ;)

Hello Fabrizio, I will need to add some changes to the ComboboxItemCollection to make it work but I´m not promise doing it right now. So be patience please. :cool:

Guillermo Hello,

I created for you an example that generates the error on combobox.

Thank you

Fabrizio

Hi Fabrizio,
I will check the error, though I don´t use the janus combobox very often since Strataframe added the multicolumn functionality to their combobox.

PS. What are you planning to do with the GridEx? :)

Hello Guillermo Vilas,

I'm trying to use the Janus combobox wrapped using [url=http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost17179.aspx]this[/url] example.

With the combobox Janus me back the following error:

[code]
InvalidCastException
Impossibile eseguire il cast di oggetti di tipo 'System.Object[]' sul tipo 'MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxItem[]'.

If I use combobox StrataFrame everything works regularly.

You can help me?

Thank you

Fabrizio

P.S. Janus gridEx to explain to you my problem in the future

Dustin is right,
The Janus GridEX is a monster, and with the BusinessBindigSource works just great!!. :cool:

Fabrizio,

There really isn't any reason to wrap a grid. Just use a BusinessBindingSource to talk to the grid directly. No wrapper needed :D.

Hi Fabrizio
In the first place you need to have a license of the Janus Windows Controls V.3.5, so you can reference the assemblies correctly in the source project I posted.
Then, you need to build the project to generate a dll that you will need to add in the Visual Studio tool box.
And last you can add any of the wrapped controls to your StandarForms or UserControls.

If you need screenshots just let me know.

Cheers
