• Gerhardo WDS in Vista: is 'instant search' a part of WDS?

  In Vista os, is 'instant search' part of WDS (wds 3.0 ) How does this relate to the object SearchDesktopClass() (or does it ). Where can I find sample code, or a specific reference for using it in C++ or C# (if I have to), even html/javascript My thrust here is incorporating 'instant search' into a Vista targeted application. I haven't exactly found the answers wading through what I've found published. Thanks in advance. mike Mike, I'm going to refer this question to our SDK guru. Being in beta, the 3.0/Vista Search documentation is spread out more than is ideal (something that should be addressed by the RTM release of the Vista SDK). I hope to hear back soon.

• salafa Windows Embedded in Kitchen Appliances - Possible?

  Hi. I'm a fan of Windows and I've grown fond of Microsoft for many years. I mean--I've used Visual Studio, Microsoft Office, Windows Vista, UTStarcom PPC6700 (Alltel Wireless), Microsoft Exchange Server (for learning purposes with Windows Server 2003), etc. and I wanted to go beyond computers and smartphone/Pocket PC. Is it possible to embed Windows in kitchen appliances (please no flaming/bashing; thanks) like oven, coffee maker, microwaves, toaster, etc. I mean--I'm serious about programming a C# application to check for status and give me visual feedback from those appliances! It'd be so cool that I could tell an oven to cook my pizza at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and give me the feedback to my Pocket PC SmartPhone device! Plus, w ...Show All

• Ramjane Div Scroll behaviour dynamic for screen resolutions

  Hi, I have a menu control in master file and content page is very long with lots of controls in it. Business wants to lock the menu so users can access menu anytime while scrolling. Since i dont want to use frames, i have code to set body's scroll = no at run time and the panel scroll height to say 500px. It works but since the height is hardcoded it looks ugly for different browser resolution. It doesnt work if i set percentage.The container div has lots of nested divs with expand collapse functionality. Is there any way to make height set dynamic based on browser's availheight - menu's clientheight so that panel's bottom is always docked with the bottom of browser window. i.e scroll works same as frames.

• cjou2004 OwnerDrawn TreeView Control

  This is a TreeView control, started as an experiment, which inherits from the standard TreeView control in .NET 2.0. http://codegallery.gotdotnet.com/Treeview2 It's source code only, as a standard .vb file. Add it to a project, add some nodes, add an Image List and play around with it. Note that all the drawing is done in the paint event. The coloring for the highlight is fixed, but is easily changed. Same with the parent gradient coloring. The horizontal scroll bar does some funky stuff; consider it a bug. You'll have to deal with it :) I've started to work on it, implementing a Vista type interface. My question is what's ShadedParentStyle for Do you maybe know how to increase the size of the node bounds except to deal ...Show All

• techguy52 CommerceProfileSystemException: Failed to retrieve profile.

  We are receiveing this message on a new site we deployed in our production environment. We packaged this site in our development environment and unpackaged the site on our production server without errors. All permissions are set correctly and all 4 Web Services run accordingly. However the website throws this error. I have not been able to find any information or anyone that has run into this problem before.

• Han Qiao limit on number of files indexed?

  What is the limit on the # of files indexed My count for # of items indexed (in wds v2.6.5) never exceeds about 11% of my actual file count. (164,832 indexed of 1,500,000 actual files) Yes, I'm selecting all file/drives to index against. Yes, I've rebuilt the index more than once. I'm guessing that for folks here thinking of indexing their entire business' file sets, be they on servers or local, the index has to scale well beyond anything I've seen so far, and yet... Thanks Jeff, Thanks for the email providing further information. At this point, I'll let you know that we have filed a bug and handed the issue over to the development team.

• floresg Problem crawling with a hierarchical custom protocol handler

  I have developed a hierarchical custom protocol handler that I'm integrating with Windows Search on Vista. The handler has a IUrlAccessor and IFilter implementation that enumerates the contents of a directory by returning the search URL of each "file" in the directory as a text chunk with the STAT_CHUNK structure specifying the GathererPropset and PID_GTHR_DIRLINK propid. My understanding is that the indexer should take these URLs and queue them for indexing, in which case I should see subsequent calls to CreateAccessor with those URLs. However, instead I'm seeing the indexer call CreateAccessor once to get the directory accessor, then it reads the dirlink text chunks, but it never make the expected additional calls to Create ...Show All

• truepantera How to search inside of PDFs?

  How can you search the text of PDF files using Windows Desktop Search 3 Beta 2. I also have Windows XP Professional, Adobe 7 and Office 2003. Where do you find the IFilters I looked at the WDS page and could not find any links for them. Do you have the PDF IFiler installed. With 2.6.5, and I assume 3.0, you need the IFilter for WDS to index the contents of the PDF file. If you open options and click advanced and then file types you'll see what the current level of indexing for PDFs is available. Actually, Foxit ifilter works with WDS 3. But it doesn't seem to allow previewing of documents -- in fact it automatically opens them i ...Show All

• Andijk IE7 [Bug] - Bug in dropdown listbox for setting Home Page

  Hello, I don't know where to report a bug I found in IE7, so I'll drop it here for now... or... maybe someone can direct me where to report this officially ;) bug description: First I set IE7's Home Page to a local HTML file on my hard drive. When for some reason the link to the Home Page is no longer valid (say: the HTML file was renamed) then the drop down menu next to the 'Home' icon in the Command Bar is not accessible anymore... The only remaining way to re-set your Home Page is via the General Tab on the Internet Options menu. I suggest to check the validity of the 'Home Pages' in that drop down menu and grey them out and/or add an indication of the invalidity and make the drop down menu accessible again, even though ...Show All

• Uppy A swf file displaying inconsistently in IE 6

  If anyone can shed any light on this. Problem: A swf object on an HTML page does not always display in IE 6, all other html elements (including sIFR headings) on the page appear correctly.

• Adam Weigert Hook the SaveAs dialog of Internet Explorer?

  Hey, I would like to know if it's possible to hook the SaveAs dialog that pops up when IExplorer is trying to download something. I am trying to retrieve the destination path that the file is being saved to. It would be great if anyone can show me how to do, thanks a lot! Hi Baller, Search the forum for a previous post and answer to a Custom Download Manager, Search for DoFileDownload. The default download to folder is a registry setting, though depending upon whether a user chooses to save or open a file at the download prompt will determine where the file is actually copied to.
