• lunatik Ok... resolution...

  Hi. I've been developing Office solutions int .Net for about a year now. My company had some proprietary code that was letting us place user controls in Word (Document Map) but it's time to phase that hack out with Office 2007 coming. So I downloaded VSTO (the version currently distributed) and installed it. Then I started looking around for code samples how to attach a custom Actions Pane. It appears that if I start an Word 2007 project in VS2005 there is ActionsPane but if the project is for Word 2003 - there is no such property and no obvious way of getting a public property that would do. I'm not sure if I'm doing something incorrectly and it seems more and more frustrating after 3 days of digging around. After initial atte ...Show All

• jam281 InlineUIContainers not firing any events in the RichTextBox

  Hi, Up until the June CTP, I was able to trap events from elements inside a InlineUIContainer, e.g. // Wherever you create the InlineUIContainer Canvas can = new Canvas(); can.Width = 80.0; can.Height = 20.0; can.Background = Brushes.Blue; can.PrevewMouseMove += ........ InlineUIContainer uiCon = new InlineUIContainer(can); This used to work find as any delegate added to the elements (even though the InlineUIContainer was "Disabled") would fire. Now it doesn't. Can someone please help me Thank you very much, Jaco That is very strange, so is there any reason why the control inside the InlineUIContainer can't be disabled, but still fire events (I know its a ...Show All

• surfguy0021 Shared Addin for Word 2003

  Hi, I've created a shared addin for MS Word 2003 in C#. The addin comprises of a toolbar which loads and works fine for the very first instance of Word. For subsequent instances of Word, the toolbar is visible but doesn't work. What am I doing wrong here This isn't the right place to ask about shared add-ins. There's a newsgroup for that http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.office.developer.com.add_ins&lang=en&cr=US and if you search it (GoogleGroups, for example) you should find a number of discussions about issue.

• Trisk2 Creating solution folders which do not appear on disk

  Is there a way I can create true VS2005 solution folders using the GAT - i.e. the folders are virtual and appear in the solution but do not appear on disk The .vstemplate for solutions says that using the <SolutionFolder> element will create a disk folder too and I really don't want that to happen. We are hitting the 260 char command prompt limits of MSBuild and so are having to trim some characters from our directory path structure but we don't want to loose the visible categorisation of projects within the solution shown in VS2005. Thanks, Sara Hi Sara, I don't think you could avoid the physical folder creation using .vstemplates. I know you can if you use DTE for creating them instead. ...Show All

• sea2006 Creating classes in subdirectories.

  I have been using the Class Designer in VS 2005 and love it. However one thing that I don't like is I can't seem to figure out how to create a class on the diagram and have the file be created in a sub-directory in my project. I would like to create types in a sub-directory (sub namespace) but the files are always created in the root directory of the project. Does anyone know how to do this Hi, Unfortunately Class Designer does not support this in its "New Class" dialog. For file placement, there is a fairly simple workaround: after creating the new class in Class Designer, drag/drop the newly created file in the sub-directory of your choice; Class Designer should be able to correctly track the new file location.

• davidg12 GetMethods from AuthoringScope is never called

• Wee Bubba Getting CodeModel events from Generic objects

  It's possible to use EnvDTE80.Events2 to track pretty much all the changes to your code model. For example, I can track new parameters, renamed paramters, and other signature-change events. However, I don't see how to get notifications when generic arguments change. Also, as far as I can tell, the only way to find the generic arguments to an object is by looking at the FullName object, and there's no way to get at the constraints for a generic argument at all. Am I missing something Steve, You are absolutely right. The only generic thing that you have represented in FileCodeModel is the IsGeneric property located on CodeInterface2, CodeClass2 and CodeFunction2. Pablo ...Show All

• sl333 Show TreeView nodes connected with dotted lines

  Has anybody done any work with the TreeView control to replicate the ShowLines/ShowRootLines properties from the Windows Forms Treeview and draw dotted lines to connect nodes. I can see that it may not be too difficult to draw the horizontal line of dots but the vertical line looks more challenging. Hi, The last node doesn't have line visible. But when I new node is added after that the previous one should have the connected line. Is there anyway to do that, Thanks Anusha Have you had any luck with this I can't seem to find an easy way either.

• Sriharsh Problem with IVsHierarchy.SetProperty(), please help.

  Hi All, I am writing a VSPackage for providing source control operations on Solution and Projects in Visual Studio 2005. I did implement the interface IVsSccManager2 and the function GetSccGlyph() appears to work fine for files. I really want the function GetSccGlyph() to work for folders (directories) as well. I could not figure that out, so I decided to use the function IVsHierarchy.SetProperty(). Here is an example of how I am calling it - hierarchy.SetProperty(itemId, ( int ) __VSHPROPID .VSHPROPID_StateIconIndex, VsStateIcon .STATEICON_CHECKEDOUT ); itemId is the Item Id of folder. This function does not seem to do anything. I also followed the SetProperty() call by IVsSccProject2. SccGlyphChanged () . Same result. ...Show All
