c# - Is this the best way for status message display? -


is best way utilize status message displays time?

private void setstatus(color _color, string _msg) { system.threading.thread t = new system.threading.thread(() => { stsstatusmsg.forecolor = _color; stsstatusmsg.text = _msg; system.threading.thread.sleep(2000); stsstatusmsg.text = ""; }); t.start(); }

example of calling it:

setstatus(color.red, appmessages["msgalreadyin"]);

stsstatusmsg (which toolstripstatuslabel) accessed method during whole application operation.

the above code works. message displayed on control 2 secs , goes away...

if in winforms, suspect, not work. allowed access ui controls main windows message thread, can reached using invoke on control. update, while code work, because actual object manipulating thread not control - in general in winforms, cross thread access not allowed.

also, new thread each status seems overkill. yes, thread going disposed gc @ point, threads expensive resource create, , code creates 1 each status change. better approach use built-in thread pool (where acquire processing time on long-lived thread pool managed framework), or using timer, designed running code @ specified intervals.

how changing text, use timer hide again after desired time ?

here solution using timer:

private void setstatus(color _color, string _msg) { stsstatusmsg.forecolor = _color; stsstatusmsg.text = _msg; timer.start(); } private void statustimer_elapsed(object sender, eventargs e) { stsstatusmsg.text = ""; timer.stop(); }

the above code assumes timer constructed already, , has it's tick event hooked statustimer_elapsed event. reason why system.windows.forms.timer class suited this, timer event raised on ui thread, meaning not have worry cross-thread access controls.

disclaimer: thought above sample without using compiler, might need tweaked.

php - Get uncommon values from two or more arrays -

is there function in php give array of uncommon values 2 or more arrays? for example: $array1 = array( "green", "red", "blue"); $array2 = array( "green", "yellow", "red"); .... $result = function_needed($array1, $array2,...); print_r($result); should give output: array("blue", "yellow", ...); use array_diff , array_merge : $result = array_merge(array_diff($array1, $array2), array_diff($array2, $array1)); here's demo. for multiple arrays, combine callback , array_reduce : function unique(&$a, $b) { return $a ? array_merge(array_diff($a, $b), array_diff($b, $a)) : $b; } $arrays = array( array('green', 'red', 'blue'), array('green', 'yellow', 'red') ); $result = array_reduce($arrays, 'unique'); and here's demo of that.

Adding duplicate array rows in Php -

i create function in php adds rows of array shared column value. so input. $test = array( array("c", 5, 6), array("c", 2, 3), array("test", 5, 6) ); and output. $testduplicatefree = array( array("c", 7, 9), array("test", 5, 6) ) ); i'm thinking function combine_duplicates($array,$col){ ... ... return $duplicatefreearray; } where $col duplicate free array. so, in case, combine_duplicates($test,0); would me desired output. this. <?php function combine_duplicates($array,$col) { $index = array(); foreach ($array $row) { $key = $row[$col]; if (!isset($index[$key])) { $index[$key] = $row; } else { ($i = 0; $i < count($row); ++$i) { if ($i != $col) { $index[$key][$i] += $row[$i]; } } } } return array_values($index); } $array = array( array("c", 5, 6), array("c", 2, 3), array("test", 5, 6) ); print_r(combine_duplicates($array, 0)); try here: http://codepad.org/mdhesqhi
