• Kobingo Bug in VEMap.GetLeft() ?

  If you call the function VEMap.GetLeft() before calling VEMap.GetTop() then GetTop returns zero. eg. alert("GetTop() = "+map.GetTop()); // ok alert("GetTop() = " +map.GetTop()); // ok alert("GetLeft() = "+map.GetLeft()); alert("GetTop() = " +map.GetTop()); // returns 0 This can be seen at http://maptest.eeens.com/getleft.html by right clicking on the map. GetLeft() also writes data to the status bar. Looking at the respective code in http://local.live.com/veapi.ashx we have - VEMap.prototype.GetLeft=function(){ var curleft=0; if(this.mapelement.offsetLeft) curleft=this.mapelement.offsetLeft; else{ if(this.mapelement.offsetParent) while(this.mapelement.offsetParent){ w ...Show All

• John Hennesey Bug? Pushpin text gets misplaced if pushpin located at the bottom of map

  Popup cloud gets misplaced when the pushpin located at the bottom of a map AND the browser window is smaller that the “height” value of the map’s DIV (there needs to be some space below the map’s DIV to reproduce the bug in IE). See the code sample to reproduce the bug. The code sample provides a map in a DIV with “height:500px” and some extra space below the DIV. There is a single pushpin in the very bottom of the map. If browser window height is bigger than 500 pixels then everything works fine. To reproduce the wrong behavior change your browser window height so that it is shorter than 500 pixels in height and scroll the content to the bottom of the page. Now, if you move your mouse over the pushpin the pushpin text appears way below th ...Show All

• Bas de Zwart Web service is very slow in device

• NeederOfVBHelp Update Control on Loading/Splash Screen in Separate Thread

  Hi all, I am working on an CFv2 app that needs to run a few processes before displaying the main form of the app. I want to have a loading screen with a progress bar and label that are updated to reflect where we are in the process of initializing the app. The loading screen is the first one the user sees, but FormMain is loading first and opens the loading screen in a separate thread while the main form continues processing. I currently have the app loading the loading screen while the rest of the app initializes and then it unloads and displays my main form as it should. I based my code off of a webcast by Maarten Struys (Creating a Windows Mobile Line of Business Application - episode 6 of 13, User Interface) and it is working fine. The ...Show All

• avinashraj no window appliation

  Is it possible to have an application that doesn't have a window. I want to be able create an application with the following design. I want a windowless application to launch a Flash player. The windowless application will communicate over a localhost socket to the Flash player. In Windows XP, the equivalent application would be console application that spawns another process that contains the Flash player. When the app terminates, the spawned process gets killed too. I think what you mean is a Windows Service. On Windows CE it will be... a console application. All you need is to find a Flash player for CE and spawn it. As far as I remember there’s even console application template in VS 2005. ...Show All

• Raju Sreenivasan Route line not displayed in IE

  Hi all, Has anyone experienced a route highlight line not being displayed on a map under IE, although all the route points are correctly displayed Works fine in FF (which is annoying!!!) Thanks, Gerry I know, silly me, changed it now. Again thanks to everyone for their help. Gerry Found the problem! You have to include the META element in the header that declares the utf-8 charset: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> That nifty line is REQUIRED for rendering lines. Add that, and you should be all set. Cheers, Caleb Is it possible then that the ...Show All

• AlucardHellSing Dialog background won't erase.

  I have a dialog the I have created in the resources. In this dialog I create some dynamic child windows like this: m_pSuperTR1Ctrl->CreateEx(0,L"STATIC",L"", WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_CENTER, ctrlTr1Rect, this,1240); then I m_pSuperTR2Ctrl->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL); and m_pSuperTR2Ctrl->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE); but they don't hide, it looks like they become part of the background and if an original control on the dialog updates then that part of the dialog updates leaving fragments of the dynamic control visible. How do I get the dialog background to refresh Thanks, Thanks for your reply and let me try and explain myself a little better. Ye ...Show All

• NetProgrammer PC/SC Connect()

  Hi, I'm trying to use the PC/SC API to connect to multiple smartcard readers, but i have trouble using the SCardConnect() function when there is no card in the reader. I need to know for example if the port (USB or SERIAL) is used or not. This is done by calling SCardGetAttrib() but this function needs a 'hCardhandle' but in the previous call to SCardConnect() returned a NULL pointer for hCardHandle because no card is inserted... so...

• pure159112 How to plot lots of points without slow down?

  I'm working on an app that plot zip code boundaries, each zip code boundary can be potentially thousands of points. Just to plot 1 zip code can take 2-3 seconds... I can't imagine if I was plotting half a dozen how long it may take. Does anyone know a workaround for lag time on drawing points Should I use MapCruncher and a custom zip code map to show the boundaries instead of drawing them And if so, how could I color those regions Sorry - if you want a quick fix try rendering the lines in small batches and using a setTimeout( "ProcessData()" ,50); This gives the user responsiveness and your lines have this cool effect of slowing being drawn Play with how many you draw per bat ...Show All
