• Australian Sewing Machine Co. Use the Width/Height of parent object in XAML

  Is there a way to make an object use the width and height of its parent without having to manually assign the same width and height values For instance, if you have a Canvas sized 100 x 100 and then you add a Rectangle to that Canvas, can you make the Rectangle automatically give itself the size 100 x 100 Maybe something like: <Canvas Width="100" Height = "100"> <Rectangle Stroke="Black" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Width="*" Height="*"/> </Canvas> No, not in WPF/E. You will need a Grid or Flow panel that the full WPF has. -mark Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is" ...Show All

• mamo How to get color scheme name?

  I'm looking for Windows API function to get the color scheme name on Vista. GetCurrentThemeName() function is not good because the filename returned is the same for both Windows Aero and Windows Vista Basic.

• Ted12893 WWF Persistance Status

  I have a workflow which having a while loop inside that I have an activity called Handle External Event, which will receives inputs from some windows application. When ever inputs come I used start a workflow and load the workflow for current situations. I have situations like, some time I have to hold the current workflow instance (dehydration) and start new workflow instance. WF internally updates the workflow persistence details into Workflow – DB. When ever workflow executes, I have to store the input values into my application database.

• daniele bonini Missing Persistence Schema RC2

  I have installed the most recent release canidate for windows workflow. I went to add the default persistence service to my workflow and discovered that the schema files do not exist on my computer (in fact in the C:\WINDOWS\WinFX\v3.0 directory, there are only two folders WinFX Runtime Components 3.0 - Beta 2 and WPF and both are empty). I have installed the RC on 3 machines, and all three are the same, so I don't feel reinstalling will fix the problem. I have tried the installer that came with the labs (in C:\Windows Workflow Foundation\Labs\SQL_Scripts\Lab03 I ran CreateDatabaseObjects.cmd) and the installer did not work. I got "0sql is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Does an ...Show All

• Pure Krome Writing to HKLM

  I'm using the RTM release of Windows Vista and testing my application to see if it will run on Vista as a standard user. I'm seeing some strange behaviour and I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure this out. My application writes some data to HKLM\Software. I was expecting to see this write getting redirected to the VirtualStore when running as a Standard user. However, that does not seem to be happening. My app is able to write to HKLM\Software. My app is not running with elevated privileges and Virtualization is ON. I even tested my app with the Standard User Analyzer tool thinking it would possibly show me some errors when writing to registry but nothing showed up there either. Strangely enough, I see the same behavior when running ...Show All

• J. Brian Missing include file stgprop.h

  Ntquery.h try to include missing file stgprop.h in the June 2006 CTP. As a workaround i've added storage property set definitions in it manually from the previous version of ntquery.h. HTH, Sergey. Still no idea Thanks for the info. We will investigate. The same problem still in the July 2006 CTP. ;] I'm seeing this too - in the RTM version of the SDK. Pretty bad... I have tried just commenting out the reference to "stgprop.h". That fixes the missing file error, but now our code cannot find includes for PSGUID_STORAGE or PID_STG_CONTENTS. And that's just for starters I imagine. PSGUID_STORAGE can now be found in "ShlGuid.h". I guess the integration of search into the shell ...Show All
