• Software Development for Windows Vista Capture alpha bitmap for a window / GetWindowRgn under Vista

  GetWindowRgn returns ERROR for a window rendered under Aero Glass, while it returns a region that outlines the rounded window corners with Aero Glass turned off. Perhaps this is to be expected, since it similarly returns ERROR for per-pixel WS_EX_LAYERED windows in XP. But is there any way to obtain a 32-bit bitmap with alpha values for a specific HWND Or if not that, a way to obtain the non-transparent region of a window I basically want to capture the image (following the rounded corners in the titlebar) of a window without the windows that show up behind it. Shunt Hello Sir, Have you tried using the GetWindowRgnBox() function According to the MSDN Article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to speed up datagridview

  Hi, I have a datagridview and i bind it to an arraylist. The arraylist contains about 50 000 of records. When a large number of rows(say 49000) being selected and I try to remove them all at once, it's such a lengthy process almost takes me 20mins. I have been looking for the solution all over the net, but i still couldn't find any. I have read an article on "Using the Selected Cells, Rows, and Columns Collections Efficiently" but it didn't tell me how to determine which rows are selected. So I can't determine which rows need to be removed from the datagridview. Can anyone help me with the problem thx for the suggestion. However, the problem now is that it's takking too long. all my other funct ...Show All

• Windows Forms A real challenge!

  I have a real challenge. My software is basic a front-end for a database that I created in SQL 2005. That’s the challenge: I don’t want to use the "BindingNavigator", instead of this I want to put the code myself to go to next record, first, etc, in the new icons that I created. But this is not all. Here is the biggest difficult. I have "TabControls" too. So when I click, for examle, next record, the application need to show me the next record, not only in the form, but in the TabControl in the same form and at the same time Did I explained clearly Thanks for those how at least will read this. I think people are misunderstanding what you want to do.  You don't want to implement ...Show All

• .NET Development help: Update Records In a Database

  I'm not using sql. All I've done is placed a dataview grid on the form and set up a datasource. Then I set up the text boxes so when you click on one of the records on the dataview grid it will shows the rest of the data from that set into the textboxes (That works). Then when I click an add button a new row appears (This also works) and then I am able to type into the textboxes with the information as required (this works). Then I'm stuck to actually update the database file because as soon as you close the form the new data is lost. I have tried using this code construct (not included all textboxes though) DataSet .tablename.column = textbox1.text; this .tablenameTableAdapter.update( this .dataset.tablename); The error ...Show All

• Visual Basic Newbie Question - Yes I've searched. :)

  Bear with me...the last time I programmed was on my Atari 800 back in 1983. I've decided to take up programming again as a hobby. I've done some online coursework and I believe I'm making some decent progress. I've also ordered a book or two but haven't received them yet. This is a simple process I'm sure...I just haven't found a way to do it yet. I've made a form and a simple SQL Database. What this does is show Last Name, First Name, and a quick summary of the person (in this case historical figures.) I want to add a PictureBox that will change when you click on the name of the person. I've got .jpg files in a folder inside the Project. I've searched Help and the Web and most say with VB it's best to store the locations of ...Show All

• SQL Server login and pass in a web.config

  Hi!! is there any way to get the login and password on my program’s web.config Full explain: I have a sub report that is missing credentials.

• SQL Server SQL Reporting Services Installation Quandry

  I have spent the past day attempting to install SQL Reporting Services 2000 on a pair of servers running Windows Server 2003. One server is a web server running IIS 6, the other is a database server running SQL Server 2000. Reporting Services was installed on the web server, with its database residing on the database server. A configuration I have done several times in the past. One difference is that my customer has not included these machines into a domain - the two servers are merely part of a workgroup named WORKGROUP. I use the same logon and password for each server, a logon that is part of the Administrator's Group of each machine. After I install Reporting Services on the web server, when I attempt to go to t ...Show All

  I have the following Menu definition. However instead of showing the text of the filenames I'd like to see the actual Images.
