• Bfundy Setting the 'ALT' keyboard mode programmatically on a Motorola Q

  I have a SmartPhone application that is designed for use with a numeric keypad. On the Mortorola Q device, the users currently need to press the ALT key (the black semi-circle) twice to lock the ALT mode before my app is usable with one-hand. My foreground window does not have an edit control. I want to be able programmatically set the ALT mode in a device independant fashion whenever my window is activated. Does anyone know how I can achieve this. Thanks. I have a user who keeps bugging me about that. Haven't found anything online yet to change it. ...Show All

But I dont want the user to had be enter in the id, I want it so when the map loads, it is already on the map. Also, after I get that code, how do I edit what the text says when you hover over it Thanks.. p.s. I know there have been post about this on here but none of them anaswer my question or dont work. Thanks In the code above, the LayerSource property for Collections should just point to the GUID, not the complete URL. You also don't need to provide the Method property for Collections. For your second question: you can't edit the content of a collection. Collections can only be created and ed ...Show All

• Princila Problems with picture boxes

  I have c# project which has a form with a picture box. When the project is deployed to an emulator the picture box is the same size as in design view, however when its deployed to a device the picture box is reduced in size to appox half the size. All other controls are the correct size and correctly positioned. Increasing the size of the picture box in design view does n't increase the size of the runtime picture box on the device. I'm developing in vs2005, .net 2 for a Pocket pc 2003se device. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution Thanks I found that changing the 'SizeMode' property of the picture box to 'StretchImage' seemed to do the trick.

• Khookie Project disaster: updating the info in a DataGrid without moving the VSB

  When I run dataGrid.Update(); the vertical scroll bar is always moved to the top. How do you update a datagrid keeping the scroll bar in the same position I see. But how do you update the datasource without scrolling the VSB to the top. I tried: ds.Tables[globalTableName].Clear(); mimerDataAdapter.Fill(ds, globalTableName); (This is from Mimer's ADO.NET example.) But when the dataTable was cleared it scrolled to the top. If you fill it twice without clearing it it stays in the same position. What happened to http://www.alexfeinman.com/dowload.asp doc=ScrollGrid.zip I could use that to scroll to a certain row, I think. Then don't clear it, it should upda ...Show All
