• Visual Basic Can I initiate mousewheel by a MouseHover over a Panel instead of being Click activated.

  I don't like the current behavior where to zoom in or out on a graphical object with the mousewheel I have to click on the panel first before anything will happen. This isn't very user friendly. The user should just be able to go right to the mousewheel if the mouse cursor is within the panel boundaries. Is it possible (and if it is how do I do it) to have a MouseHover event help out Public Sub panel1_MouseHover( ByVal obj As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Panel1.MouseHover what would I put here to activate the MouseWheel event below 'If this makes sense End Sub Private Sub panel1_MouseWheel( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Pa ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get SeBackupPrivilege in a deferred custom action EXE?

  I have encountered a privilege difference in Windows Installer between XP and Vista RC1 which makes our installation fail. I have searched for an explanation and workaround but haven't found anything so far. This is NOT a UAC issue: the difference in privileges is there even when UAC is off. The Problem: In Vista RC1, a custom action of type 3074 runs WITHOUT having the SeBackupPrivilege privilege. The privilege is not there so it is not possible to enable it using AdjustTokenPrivileges. (Type 3074 custom action is an EXE that runs from a temp file using deferred execution in the Local System context.) In XP SP2 and earlier versions of Windows, this custom action has the SeBackupPrivilege privilege so it is possible to enable it u ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Viewing a list of WorkItems from a Project Portal Site

  Hi, I know this question might sound somehow strange, but we have a case in which we need to access a work items list for a specific project particularly bugs from a project portal. I know that you can access a specific work item through its id from the browser through the url format: http:// <TFS Server Name> :8080/WorkItemTracking/WorkItem.aspx artifactMoniker= <WorkItem ID > I know also that you can access the project portal through the URL format:: http:// <TFS Server Name> :8080/sites/ <Project Name> /default.aspx The problem is that there is no way to access a list of work items (i.e. Work Item Query) for a particular project from the project portal site !!!

• SQL Server xp_enumdsn in 2005

  Hello, Does anybody know what happend to xp_enumdsn in 2005 The sp_enumdsn is there AND makes a call to [distributor].master.dbo.xp_enumdsn, but the actual xp seems to be missing from master catalog and views. Previously in 2000, you could simply EXEC master..xpenumdsn. Now in 2005 you need to explicity set up a distributor even if you do not intend to replicate as I see it. Any expert opinions/answers would be appreciated. Jim OK Zhiqiang. I finally got it.

• SQL Server Dynamic Grouping with Report Designer

  I've got this working -- I allow users to have 2 groups, and choose what they want to group by. I'd like to add one extra bit of functionality -- for the inner grouping, I would like my users to have the option "None" -- i.e. don't have an inner group. I've tried setting the group expression of the second (inner) group to "" when the user chooses the "None" option but the report errors out. Any suggestions as to how to dynamically get rid of the inner group Thx Helen Helen: I had a similar requirement and here's how I solved it. For the "None" entry at each grouping level you'll need to include a value for it in the combobox that's the following functions will recognize. Include the ...Show All

• SQL Server Where's the "NeedsProcessing" property for a partition?

  I know, there is no such property - but is there something similar that I could query inside my Script Task to know whether or not to process a particular partition Thanks.. As I mentioned in several posts this week, there is a very simple way to figure out if there is property belong to an object. That is : use AMOBrowser application. You compile and run this application and then navigate to the object. In your case you can see that partition object has State property. And if your partition is processed it shows 'Processed' value.

• Visual Studio Express Editions array for IP address range

  im trying to get an IP address range into an array so that i can scan for example 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.12 the array that i created was in vb6 and even that one errored out because of the "." between each octet.. Im not using vb6 anymore, just express Hi. I don't mean to be insulting but I don't think you're using the code correctly. Here I've updated this to add all of the items to a listbox as I believe you're doing. The results in my code look like exactly what you're looking for (I think.). Note that you don't have to add each item to the listbox individually you can add a range of ip addresses in a single line. I apologize in advance if I've simply misunderstood you.

• Visual Basic Emulating VB6 Textbox arrays on Windows forms

  My apologies to anyone reading this for a second time - I might have put it in the wrong forum earlier. I like entering data into text boxes on a form, rather than using a datagrid. I like to have the use of the Enter and arrow keys to navigate from one box to another. Doing this in VB6 was easy. All it took was making the textboxes part of an array, then this subroutine took care of the business (the actual routine also takes care of the arrow keys - I have removed the coding to keep it short).
