• Software Development for Windows Vista creating desktop on vista and launch IE on it

  Hi, All I run into some issue with creating a new desktop on windows vista: If I create a 2nd desktop using CreateDesktop (with NULL for security attributes), and launch an IE using CreateProcess() on the 2nd desktop from default desktop, it will be created with medium integrity level and a pop up on the 2nd desktop mentioning that Admin rights is required w/o real IE displayed. However, launch an IE using CreateProcess() on default desktop directly is OK(and in low integriy level). Then I tried launching an IE using CreateProcess() on default desktop from 2nd desktop instead, it works fine with an IE with low integrity level appeared on default desktop. So, how can I enable same behavior on 2nd desktop as the default one - IE c ...Show All

• SQL Server Connecting Visual Studio to remote SQLExpress

  Hello all, I've been trying to find an answer to this to no avail. I'm not even sure if its possible. I like to do development at home in addition to work, like most of you do. Since it is my home computer, I like to play games, so I try to keep applications to a minimum. I would like to install sqlexpress on a virtual machine (which I have successfully done), and I can connect to it via Management Studio on my local machine (non-vm). Is there a way to set visual studio to use this connection as opposed to local host I really do not want to load sqlexpress on my local machine and have yet another thing tying up system resources. Your feedback is appreciated. Barret The answer to the VS question is Yes an ...Show All

• Visual Basic Cross Threading in General

  Can someone answer me this question... I have programmed in VBA for years. It seems to handle directly accessing simple form objects without any worries about threads or cross-threading or whatever...

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) RichTextBox Blocks

  Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to make an option that can maybe be exposed to alter the behaviour of the richtextbox. At the moment, when the richtextbox is empty, or if you are on an empty line, the default behaviour when adding InlineUIComponents is to create them as BlockUIContainers. This is very frustrating as I only want my "unique" object to stay a specific size, and to still add text after and before it (like having a small image that you can have in the same line as the text) What I would like to happen is when I create an InlinUIContainer on a blank line, is instead of making it a BlockUIContainer, create a paragraph and add it as an inline, so that I don't have to do post processing work to get it to ...Show All
