• sandyrae IInputObject no longer called in IE7?

  Has the behavior around IInputObject changed for IE7 We're doing the standard: 1. On SetSite(), get the IID_IInputObjectSite from the IUnknown parameter. 2. When one of our UI Windows gets or looses focus, call IInputObjectSite::OnFocusChangeIS() It all appears to work; however, we never see callbacks on our IInputObject methods: UIActivateIO, HasFocusIO, TranslateAcceleratorIO. Well, that's not completely true. We see a callback on IInputObject:: UIActivateIO(FALSE..) when a second, different toolbar calls IInputObjectSite::OnFocusChangeIS(FALSE), but that's the only time (we see it in the stack crawl). Is this behavior different from IE6 This bandobject needs these calls to do it's UI correctly. It's more complex than a simple editbox ...Show All

• Mnkylord User login programmatically …

  I’m new to Commerce Server and was tasked with the job of integrating our existing "user" database with the "user profile" database for the store site that we are developing using CS2007.  I wanted to know if it's possible to programmatically login an existing user. The basic scenario is the following: The user logs in and is authenticated against our "user" database.  At this point, I must check the "user profile" database.  If the user exists in this database, I need to programmatically log this user into the store site.  If the user does not exist in this table, I need to create the user profile using the whatever data we have on hand from the "user" database and then log the user in. Is this po ...Show All

• modtran propertiesToReturn

  I have added the propertiesToReturn to the webconfig and referenced a property that I added in the Catalog Schema manager. This works as expected in all areas of the site except Search. If I put one of my custom properties in the string then Search returns an error (and no longer works) - all other parts of the site work however. If I remove my custom property from the string then Search works normally. This is all being done within the latest starter site. Please Advise. I have done some more poking around.   We have Inventory enabled on the Catalog - from looking through some of the Stored Procedures I see an InventoryPropertiesToReturn variable getting manipulated. I wonder ...Show All

• HuberSepp Missing Performance counters

• clint 2 BizDesk navigation pane issue

  Issue: The navigation pane in the Commerce Server 2002 Business Desk client on our server is not displaying correctly. The list of menus and item appears in while and completely expanded. Clicking on any item in the navigation pane will select that item but no action occurs in the main content pane upon click. My 1 st suspicion was that this was an XML issue due to the fact that BizDesk uses XML2 which IE7 (and certain security updates of IE6) is not compatible with due to vulnerabilities. Service Pack 4 of commerce server fixes this issue so I went ahead and installed the service pack. Once the installation ran there were no issues but it did not fix the problem of the business desk navigation It was suggested ...Show All

• DavidThi808 Manually Configure URLs

  Hi all, I need to be able to manually "configure URLs" for documents. I'm not sure how else to word it. Basically, say I have a document "d1" which I get WDS to index. However, I would like to map d1 to URL u1, so that when I search for the document using WDS, I get back u1, and not d1. This would probably be some sort of wrapper around the index, which would perform the mapping between document ID and URL. Is there any way to do this I've looked at the documentation, and I haven't found anything that addresses this issue. Thanks in advance, -A Eric, Thanks for your response. I just thought it would be cool to do, for many reasons. For instance, I index a basic document which contains ...Show All

• hotsauce IE7: Img control NOT allowed to view local files???

  Hi, I have an image preview function (in javascript) that allows the user to view an image before it is uploaded to the web site. I use the standard upload control (type="file") which- when set by browsing to an image- is used to determine the image path on the user's local machine. For some reason IE7 refuses to display the image. This works in IE6. I have to admit that this did not work in FireFox so maybe there is some standards incompatibility that is involved. code is : var path=up.value; // 'up'is the upload control img.src=path; // 'img' is the image control I've tried various ways to modify the local path with file:/// and file://localhost/ but nothing seems to work. Any one know Thanks! Jack ...Show All
