• Jouan Restart Manager TC 30

  Our product has a waiver to be run always as administrator. When the product is run as administrator and RMTool (as normal user) sends a shutdown signal (-S) to the application no WM_QUERYENDSESSION message is recieved by the application. Instead a 10005 event message is sent. Is it possible to avoid this 10005 message, Machine restart is required Even when a normal user is sending the request BR, Daniel If both is as administrator it works nice.

• lamont_23 Updates and "Works with Windows Vista"

  Hello. If I certified my Software to get the "Works with Vista" Logo and the Software needs a Update to fix some Stuff. Is it necessary to repeat the Steps for Using the Logo Kind regards jping Re-testing your application for "Works with Vista" before a rolling out to customers is advisable. For "Works with Vista" you do not need to submit to a 3rd-party testing authority, so there is not an additional cost (other than your internal resources). How about the Certified Logo program Recently, I spoke with a gentleman from Microsoft's ISV support team and he told me that you only need to get an application certified once. Subsequent updates/fixes/new features etc won' ...Show All

• Whoisit Differences between WPF/E and Flash

  Hi, I searched a lot on topic "Flash Vs WPF/E" but I could hardly get any concrete information. Can anyone suggest any useful information, URLs on "Comparative study between Flash and WPF/E". Regards, Santosh Kalkeri ...but it is definitely not insignificant for the developer. You can easily generate new WPF/E on the fly, as opposed to Flash that is precompiled. >In it's present form WPF/e is so far removed from Flash in terms of functionality that you can barely do >anything useful with it at all other than create yet another media player.

• Kardi Pageflow

  Hi, I'll use WF to pageflow. My scenario is: my web host application doesn't know about who I'll be called when the user click to initiate a process, like a Register. When I start the workflow instance the first activity is a CallExternalMethod activity that will tell to the webapp which page need to be called. My question is.. if the user close the application the workflow will be persisted... When the user returns to the continue the process my CallExternalMethod activity will be passed, so the workflow doesn't will tell to the webapp which page need to be called. I need to know this value... I think the solution is tracking... Am I right or there is other way Thanks. Yes, tracking would be one way to do it and probably the ...Show All

• Learning VB How to host data access objects for high volume, distributed systems given current state of .NET?

  I’ve created a set of data access (DA) objects that connect to a dbms, do O-R mapping, return custom business objects, etc. Following advice I’ve read here and elsewhere, I’ve kept them separate from any hosting environment, e.g. Enterprise Services. Now I need to figure out how to host them in a high-volume, distributed system, but I have questions as to the best way to go about hosting these babies for remote access, given that a new generation of .NET is imminent, but is not yet all the way here. A brief system description is below, as well as my questions. Can anyone help me out I think the discussion is a worthy one; there must be other folks asking similar questions right about now. Thanks in advance, ...Show All

• Lee Brimelow How to determine possible states in State Machine Workflow

  Hello, I created State Machine Workflow and managed to get current state. My task is to determine all possible states in which state machine can go from its current state. Any ideas Kind regards, nrasinec In Beta1, you can enumerate all the event drivens and state initialization activities in the current state, and aggregate all the set state activities to determine the potential next states.  In Beta 2, there will be a set of helper methods that you'll be able to use for these queries.

• guy87 Playing file after file

  After playing one video file I want to play another file. As I understand the RenderFile() just adds filter without removing old ones. Should I remove all filters from the graph builder (by using EnumFilters and calling RemoveFilter on each filter) Is there a simple way to achieve that thx. The simplest approach is to release the entire graph and CoCreate the graph manager again. In that case, you'll need to reacquire all of your interface pointers. (When clip 1 is done, release everything, then build everything from scratch for clip 2.) Another option is to remove all of the filters with EnumFilters / RemoveFilter. I'm not sure this is much more efficient than (1). A third approach is to selecti ...Show All

• nizmo Vista control panel (link and icon)

  Hi, All, I've developed a 3rd party control panel applet for Vista and basically it works fine. But I have two issues about the control panel item: 1. How can I add a custom link under the main description of my control panel item in non-classic view (e.g. the "Adjust system volume" link of "Sound" control) 2. How to provide different size icon in classic view I have a all-size (from 16x16 to 256x256) icon in the resource and use LoadIcon function to return the icon handle as the hIcon member of LPNEWCPLINFO structure. However, it seems like the explorer always use 48x48 one and make the icon looks pretty ugly in "Extra large Icons" view. Any comment will be very appreciated. Thanks, Kevin ...Show All
