• Visual Basic Retrieving the Current Caret Position from a Textbox

  Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to retrieve the current caret position from a textbox when it has the focus. I've done quite a bit of research into this and can't seem to find anything. Surely this would be a pretty common task to perform on a textbox. I would have thought it would be a simple textbox method such as GetCaretPosition() but I can't find anything other than a method that lets you scroll to the current caret position, however this doesn't tell you what it is.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Forms Based Authentication

  I am trying to setup Forms Based Authentication (FBA) for our MOSS 2007 site. Based on the various blog postings/etc. around the web, I have it setup. There is one minor problem I was hoping somebody could help with. We are hoping to disable the "remember me" functionality in the form - we don't want people to accidentally stay logged in to the site. The problem we are having is this - if we don't check "remember me" on the login form, when I try to "Edit in Microsoft Office Word" on a document, it opens up Office (2003) and instead of opening the document, it opens up the login.aspx page as HTML. If I try it with Office 2007, it just doesn't open up the document, and no error is displayed. If I check the &quo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions precomiled header directives

  I am using some user defined header files and i have included the header files in the program but when i try to compile it, i get the following error: fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive Error executing cl.exe.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to change the user settings without recompiling

• Windows Forms MDI windowlist formclosing bug

  Hello, In my application, I have an MDI parent form and several MDI child forms. Wanting to allow the user to click the X on the child window and hide the window rather than close it, I implemented the FormClosing event handler as follows: if (e.Close Reason == CloseReason.UserClosing) { e.Cancel = true; Hide(); } This does hide the child window but when the user opens the window again, the windowlist is never populated again for that window. It is undesirable for my application to make new instances of the child forms each time one is displayed so instantiating a new form instance when I want to show the child form is not the solution. The code in the parent window to display the child windows does this: myForm.MdiParent = this; myForm. ...Show All
