• Visual FoxPro Report listener, HTML output on a Win98 machine.

  Hi All; I've been using a report listener to produce an html file. On win98 machines the detail band of the erport it empty. On XP all is Okay. Anyone experienced this and knows if there is a solution (Aside from upgrading to XP) Thanks. >> I think it may be related to GDIPLUS. I think you are correct. You may need to explicitly install the latest version of GDIPlus on the machine in order for this to work - assuming that it will work at all on Win 98. Remember Win 98 is no longer a supported operating system for the VFP Development Environment, although VFP Runtimes should work on that platform According to the help file: You can create and distribute run-time applications f ...Show All

• Visual Basic Skipping lines in a test file

  I routinely work with text files with well over 3200 lines of text. I am trying to write a routine that will parse the file and skip lines (example every 3 rd line) and save the new smaller text file. I am not a college kid trying to get someone to do his homework for him. I am just trying to teach myself to write simple programs that I find useful. I have 5 or 6 VB.Net books and have not seen this topic in any of these books or the net, does anyone have any tips or pointers to get me moving in the right direction Here is one way to do this: Dim i As Integer = 0 Dim sBuf As String = Nothing Dim fsRead As New StreamReader("BigFile.txt") Dim fsWrite As New StreamWriter("SmallFile.txt") While Not fsRe ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GPRS modem data connection while connected with ActiveSync. Can it be done?

  Hi All, I'm using a WM5 device to develop a .NETCF2.0 application. The application is going to be demonstrated next Monday to a potential customer. The Windows Mobile Power Toys gives me an ActiveSync remote desktop utility that will allow me to demo the app using a projector. This is all fine and dandy but while the device is using ActiveSync all network activity goes through the Wired LAN network that my PC(Laptop) is connected to. I want to be able to use the GPRS connection the Pocket PC phone uses when its not connected to ActiveSync. I've looked through the device network settings and cannot find a way to change this behavior. Is there a way to do this or is this something that cannot be done during an ActiveSync connection.

• Windows Forms Tooltips Cut Off

  Has anyone experienced balloon style tooltips (IsBalloon) being cut off Many of my tooltips in my application have the last few characters cut off by the end of the balloon. It looks as if they are miscalculating the length of the text. Is there anything that can be done Andrew, Unfortunately, it's nothing as simple as that. The control is trying to draw the characters, they are just cut off by the edge of the tooltip. When displayed in a non-ballooon style, they display fine. In fact, I'm looking at one that is cut off right now that has less than 100 chars. Most of my tooltips don't have this problem, but some do - and some of these are short, and some are long. I have many multi-line tooltips that have many many characters and ...Show All

• Visual C# How many threads should a process possess?

  Hi, everyone: My application runs with its thread number ranging from 40 to more 60. I wonder how many threads a windows process should have. I have checked a lot only to find that the general MaxThreadNumber for ThreadPool is "25". But how about threads created by Thread.Start Further more, after Thread.Start() was executed in my application, I was surprised to find the the thread may remain "Unstarted" under a uncertain condition which brings about a hang-up. Does this happen just because of too many threads in my application Thank you I don't claim to be an expert on threading, so please forgive my ignorance on the subject. I have read a lot of material about the dos and do ...Show All
