• humbroll Arrow width on combobox

  I am attempting to determine the width of the combobox arrow no matter what OS the app is running under. The widths are different for CE and PocketPC. It would be great if someone can help me with either of the following: 1. How can I determine whether CE or PocketPC is running (not just the version number of the OS). 2. Can I directly query this value by P/Invoking a WinAPI function If so, please include the dll name. Thanks in advance! Thanks. I'll give it a shot and see what happens... Thanks, that did the trick. Here is some VB code to do this in .NET: 'You will need this reference...

• Jehan Badshah Why are all the pushpins in the SDK demos misplaced?

  I am curious why the pushpins in all of the Interactive SDK samples are not properly handled. As you zoom in and out on the map, the point that the pushpin is pointing to moves. For example, bring up the Interactive SDK and select Use pushpins->Add a default pushpin from the left menu. A pushpin is placed on the map pointing near the northern border of Nebraska. Now zoom out once. The pushpin is now pointing to the center of Nebraska. Zoom out again and the pushpin is in Kansas! The reason is because it is positioning the center of the pushpin image, not the "point". This is easily fixed with CSS styles, which can be embedded in the HTML sample code. The same occurs on all the other samples I have looked at. I am using Firefox ...Show All

• Mike Greenway Converting from Google Maps

  I have a map here - www.ukmartin.com/googlemaps/uk.html It features a set of pins in the map which have their latitides and longitudes listed in an XML document. Is there an easy way to use the same design of map pin and the XML data in a Live Map (see http://www.ukmartin.com/googlemaps/stadia.xml ) Thanks in advance for your assistance Martin How can you recommend GeoRSS knowing full well the issues everyone is having with that in VE Derek If you want a really simplistic way to put a couple of points on the map then go down this path of GeoRSS.

• friendlyvlad Device ID Data Type

  Hi All, I want to be able to uniquely identify a mobile device. I've discovered that devices have a Device ID but is only accessible via the Win API through PInvoke() calls. The article I found is here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172516.aspx PInvoking is not a problem for me. I actually found this article through a message board where someone actually had problems using it. 1) Is this article up to date and compatible with WM 5.0 devices Most Importantly 2) Is the device ID a GUID Or is it something else The article indicates it converts the final result into a string not a native GUID. This doesn't actually mean that the string doesn't contain a GUID though. I haven't run it through yet to see, but I do ...Show All

• Santhoo problems with VS2005 and IE7

  Hi, if running VS2005 with IE7 (the beta, the final or the WinVista RC1 included one) it is not possible to create a new C++ "Smart Device" project. If I choose to create a "Win32 Smart Device Project" with Visual C++, enter a name for the project in the "New Project" dialog i'll get the "blub" sound, wich also appears if internet explorer blocks a pop up or an addon, and Visual Studio falls back to the "New Project" dialog instead of showing the details for creating the new application. i guess this has something to do with the internet explorer security settings and so I tried to disable them all or setting them to the lowest possible level... has anybody an idea how to get VS ...Show All

• Utkarsh Shigihalli Resources and performance

  I have several .wav files in my project (about 15). I would like to understand if putting them in the project's reource file can speedup their usage or if it is better to continue to keep them as just .wav files in a subdirectory. Many thanks in advance for your answer Probably it won’t. Besides, what exactly " speedup ” means for wave files, twice the playback speed In any case you can try it and see if it’s any faster. Loading a file from filesystem will be very slightly faster. Keeping them in a resource makes them more manageable. Of course if we are talking about several megabytes combined worth of audio, you should not put them in a resource Thank you very much for this answer. I've got a ...Show All

  Situation: I had to install Vista Ultimate x64 I installed Visual Studio 2005, SP1. Both in Italian.

• NetDragonKing CCommandBar: yet another problem

Really, I can't understand why should Microsoft replace working class with another one, which has more bugs :) The problem is that after inserting menu bar (InsertMenuBar) previously loaded toolbar gets invisible. If I change the order of these functions' calls (first, InsertMenuBar, then - Loadtoolbar) everything works well. But I need my toolbar to be on the left... so help me please :-) Can somebody help me, please I have the same problem. ...Show All
