• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Cascading command bars for custom add-ins

  I have 3 macros in an add-in that I would like to group together in a custom menu item. Below is the code I am currently using for 2 of the macros that simply add these to the bottom of the Tools... menu as a new group when the .xla is loaded. They work great! However, my preference would be to create a command bar named CMRDashboard which expands to have the two choices below as well as a third option of 'Show Documentation' that I am currently writing.

• .NET Development Vista "The web server does not appear to have the FrontPage server extension installed"

  I have Vista and office 2003 installed on my pc and IIS. Everytime I try creating a web site on Visual Studio 2005, it gives me the following error. "The web server does not appear to have the FrontPage server extension installed" PLease advice... Thanks Malik You're getting that error because IIS7 on Vista doesn't use Frontpage extensions. I assume you're developing on the same machine. I spent a long time trying to work out how to solve this. If you open it up locally via the file server, it won't allow you to debug the code. So, here's what you need to do... When you open Visual Studio, but just left click the link to start it, instead, right click and select 'Run as Admini ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Component Design Guidelines?

  Anyone have any suggestions, tips, experiences, etc regarding designing and developing Game Components With the move of the GraphicsComponent to a service (which makes sense), one of my questions is remains: what makes a good Game Component In pre beta 1, other Game Components that were hinted at were a Camera and Fps Counter. In beta 2, would these still be Game Components, or be left at system-level Is the choice as simple as whether or not your would-be-component has an Update method that takes a single GameTime parameter Same goes for IDrawable, if a Draw method with a single GameTime parameter is sufficient, should this be a Drawable Game Component Is it a never-ending debate such as the guidelines for designing Interfaces ...Show All

  I have two tab pages.In the first tabpage I have some textboxes also in the second tabpage. I wont to get focus on Textbox3 (in tabpage2) when I enter the tabpage2 but it wont do that.

• .NET Development Different install folders for Windows .NET Service versions

  I have a .NET Remoting object (Framework v1.1.4322) made available to clients via a Windows Service. The service and Remoting object and the dlls (.Net assemblies) it uses are all installed in the ...\Windows\System32 folder. The assemblies are not strong named and InstallUtil was used to install the service. I have a new version of the Remoting object and the associated dlls.

• Visual C++ Converting System::String to LPCWSTR

  I've been looking for a long time as to how to solve this, and eventually just thought I'd ask. I've been told of A2W, which apparently cannot convert from System::String (so says the compiler error), I've tried converting to a wchar_t first, but the method won't accept it, and I'm running out of luck. Here's what my code looks like now. pin_ptr<const wchar_t> wch = PtrToStringChars(fileName); IAVIFile *aviMedia = NULL; IAVIStream *aviStream = NULL; AVISTREAMINFO *aviSInfo = NULL; AVIFILEINFO aviFInfo; LONG bufferSize = NULL; DWORD length = NULL; wchar_t wcFileLoc; Single vidLength; AVIFileInit(); wcFi ...Show All

I'm looking for something like this: mybindingsource.Filter = "ssn HAVING COUNT > 2" I want to return only records that have two or more ssn's. EZ1976, BindingSource.Filter property gets or sets the expression used to filter which rows are viewed. Typically used in complex data-binding scenarios, the Filter property allows you to view a subset of the DataSource. Only underlying lists that implement the IBindingListView interface support filtering. When Filter is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the BindingSource passes this property to the underlying list. If you set this property during object initi ...Show All
