• Windows Forms handle a mouse click anywhere on the form

  Hi, I'd like to get an event when the mouse is clicked anywhere on the form, even when the mouse is over some control on the form. Simply handling the MouseDown event of the form doesn't work, because when the mouse is over a control on the form, it seems like only the MouseDown event of that control is raised, and not that of the form. What can I do You can override the WndProc method of the form like so: // Constants for decoding the Win32 message. protected const int WM_PARENTNOTIFY = 0x210; protected const int WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x201; protected const int WM_RBUTTONDOWN = 0x204; protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { // This is the message from child cont ...Show All

• Windows Forms Webbrowser control with Flash Website problem - PLEASE HELP

  Hello, I've got a VS.NET 2005 (VB.NET) Winform App that has a webbrowser control on it. I can open a web site just fine with it and can even open websites that utilize flash just fine. The problem is this:  After clicking around for a VERY brief time inside of a flash file within the webbrowser control, the mouse clicks don't seem to work inside the flash movie.  They work for a little while, but very soon after, quit working.  Mouseover events in the flash file seem uneffected.  To remedy this, I must click outside of the flash movie (still inside the webbrowser control) then clicking withing the flash movie continues to work (for a little while) then the cycle repeats. When I say "a little while", I'm talking so ...Show All

• SQL Server OLE DB Command transform and Output columns.

  Hi All, I have an OLE DB transform with a SQL Command of: sp_get_sponsor_parent , OUTPUT where sp_get_sponsor_parent is defined like: CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo] . [sp_get_sponsor_parent] @pEID int , @results int OUTPUT AS BEGIN . . . END I map the columns, refresh & OK out of the component without trouble, but on executing the package it fails during validation on this component. I'm utterly stumped. Any light shed would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Tamim. This wasn't the problem Rafael - the EXEC is optional. I resolved the issue however, by trialing just this one thing - outputting to a (derived) column within OLE DB Command - in a new/cl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System with other platforms like Flash or VB6

  Hi, I have many projects in different languages and I would like to know if I can use VSTS as a management tool, assign tasks, follow bugs, etc if the main product is not build under Visual Studio .NET (for example VB6). Any ideas or suggestions Is it worth to use it or will be too heavy Thanks Ariel Ariel, The short answer is "Yes". You can install and use Team Explorer with or without having the VS.Net IDE installed. The functionality offered by TFS will work for you. You can also integrate the version control features of TFS into the VB6 IDE and any other IDE that supports the MSSCCI provider model. As to your question about it being "too heavy", that is dependent on ...Show All
