• @nt ActiveX Modal Dialogs do not work in IE7

  Our product is suffering some pretty severe problems because of IE7. We've starting getting calls that dialog windows become hidden. We've heard this is a threading issue. We found out that the problem is actually much worse. Modal dialogs don't seem to function correctly in IE7. You can recreate the problem using VB6 by doing this: 1. Create an ActiveX UserControl project. 2. Add a form to the project (form1) 2. Put a button on the user control (usercontrol1). 3. Add this code to usercontrol1. Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim objForm As Form1 Set objForm = New Form1 Call objForm.Show(vbModal) End Sub 4. Build the project as an OCX somewhere on your hard drive. 5. Find your control's CLSID in regedit. I ...Show All

• Penicillin Using Vista?

  Good idea Joe! Okay, I'll go first.  I'm using Vista RC1 full time now.  The computer seems quieter--doesn't take so many trips to the hard disk for VM paging.  I find going back to XP an unpleasantry, so I think Microsoft is succeeding here. Glass is nice.  I think the performance is what I expected it to be on an Intel Advanced Graphics card (Dell Dimension 9100).  Office 2007 is also pleasant to use, but they stil have some cleanup work to do on their UI. Who else is using Vista   Brian I have a non-primary computer with specs 512 MB Ram and 2.8 ghz HT, 128 mb graphics, would that have a lag-free full graphics Vista experience I would never recommend in ...Show All

• Nightmare_BE Grabbing the current URL and maybe the current page from outside of IE?

  What I'm looking to do is open a webpage in IE and be able to grab the current URL of that page with another application. What would be great is if I could grab the entire page too. Here is why I need this. My program needs a SID that the website provides to IE. This is provided be the website and with it I can then enter data with my local app because I can pass that SID. The SID is in the URL and even better in that current page. If this is not possible then how hard would it be to create an extention for IE to write the SID it has recieved someplace local If this is possible then I could just grab it and do the same work. Thank you Check these out. I found these articles very useful. http://w ...Show All

• Mad_Box How to replicate the default download process in Internet Explorer?

  Hey there, I would like to know how I can call the default download function of IExplorer. I implemented a custom download manager using the IDownloadManager interface because I needed to get some specific information about the file being downloaded. However, I don't want to override the whole download process. I just needed to intercept it, get the necessary information and let it carry on with the default process. Currently IExplorer is calling my IDownloadManager::Download() function everytime use clicks Save in IExplorer. Can anyone show me how to call the default process, or to replicate it Which means, open the save as dialog, download it and show the current progress dialog if necessary. Thanks a lot!!!

• jcarlos.net Javascript bug?

  I created a javascript file that contains a series of functions for popup windows to eight diffrent info blurbs and found IE 7 displays a completely blank (white) page when calling the script via this method: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../includes/pop_windows.js" /> For the record, I tested same in Firefox, and it plays with it just fine. Frustrated, I resorted to the less efficient (in my opinion) method of calling the scripts from the <head> section of the source page itself, i.e.: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function p1() { aWindow=window.open("p1.htm","thewindow",& ...Show All

• Peter Smith in Redmond Hotkey assignment

  I asked this question before, but it was somewhat hidden into another post of mine, so perhaps it wasn't noticed. The default hotkey in WDS 3.0 is Ctrl-Alt-M. In the previous version there was an option to redefine the hotkey. Are there any plans to re-instate that option I've seen there's still a registry key called 'Hotkey'. If I only knew how to set it ;) Thanks! Hi Moorpipe1, I must have missed this question on your last thread. Unfortunately, you can't reassign the hotkey in 3.0 beta 2. Fortunately, this is the right avenue to submit feedback. I'll let the dev team know that customers are already missing this feature. Paul Nystrom - MSFT yes we are! ...Show All

• lovlysath Problem configuring a custom protocol handler on Vista RC1

  I have developed a hierarchical custom search protocol handler, which I have been trying to integrate with Windows Search on Vista. The steps I've taken to register the handler are: 1. Create a REG_SZ value under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows Search/ProtocolHandlers. The MSN WDS Toolbar documentation mentions an AddProtocol method that can be called on the SearchManager, but this does not exist in the ISearchManager interface in Vista (see searchapi.h in the SDK), so given the lack of documentation for alternatives I've registered the key directly. 2. Use ISearchCrawlScopeManager to add a search root and default scope. The search root is created with IsHierchical = TRUE and FollowDirectories = TRUE. The registration itself compl ...Show All

• crittedv How to search WDS on Vista using APIs in C++

  How do you programmatically search WDS on Vista using the APIs in C++ On WDS 2.x the procedure was:- 1. Create CLSID_SearchDesktop object 2. Get the IID_ISearchDesktop interface 3. Call ExecuteQuery on that interface with the query 4. Enumerate the recordset returned to get the results This works perfectly on WDS 2.x and also works on WDS 3.0 beta on XP. However on Vista it fails at the first step with the error class not registered. I was under the impression that the search in Vista was WDS 3.0, so why is the code not working when it works OK with WDS 3.0 under XP If there is another way to query under Vista what is it Can you provide an example Thanks Nick Thank ...Show All
