• Visual C++ disabling the keyboard

  I am trying to create a program that will disable the keyboard, and another that will re-enable it. How would you go about doing this without doing a full keyboard hook I would do it in a batch file with the command "rundll32 keyboard,disable" but that requires a full system restart in order for the keyboard to become usable once again. Does anyone have an idea on how to do this P.S. I am not sure if this is in the correct forum, if it is not my apologies Hello Re: disabling the keyboard As you may already known, such question is outside the scope of this forum, see: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=789657&SiteID=1 Personally, I'd like to recommend you to d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Correct version of the XACT

  While trying to build the project with simple sound as described in XNA Help the error XACT could not load the data provided. Make sure you are using the correct version of the XACT tool appeared. I have October SDK installed and no attempt to build sound files with August SDK taken. Have seen some posts with similar problem here but no real solution. Is there any kind of restriction meaning the size or other sound properties I used standard Windows file "chord.wav" for my experiment. To be specific MS don't support XNA against any other SDK. But since XNA works against the runtime files then as long as you have the right runtime files you should be fine. (not sure what happens if yo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Getting current row values from my BindingSource in C# VS 2005!!!

  Hello, How can i get a current row values from my BindingSource. I have a DropDown List that points to a view, and I set a column of my view to be displayed in my DropDown list and another column as it's value. I need to display another column of my view in a ReadOnly TextBox right near my DropDown list. Thanks so much in advance, Mathew Mathew, First question ... I prefer to do it in code rather than the Property Sheet ... it's quicker for me, but that's mainly because I'm so used to doing it this, after having done it this way for 5 years now. VS2005 may be better than previous versions in this respect, but I'm not really sure of that since I still continue to do it manually. Now, your ne ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie: Resize a Captionless Forum

  Hi all. New guy here =D. I've been learning vb.net 2005 for about a week, and I think I've made relatively good progress. I've got to the point where I can drag my own form with no caption and skin it completely. My last hurdle is that I can not resize the Form with the caption set to None. Though I've seen ton's of software with no caption that can resize, I can't figure it out as of now. So if anyone has any information or tip's to accomplishing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank's in advance. Travis Well, you can't use WM_NCHITTEST and also support the system menu. Check Mick Doherty's web site for a sample that uses a label control to implement resizing. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using Non-XBox 360 Controllers

  As far as I can tell the XNA framework doesn't allow me to use controllers other than the XBox 360 gamepad. In future releases of XNA will the use of other controllers be possible If not, then the framework is fundamentally flawed for those wishing to make games for windows. You'd also want support for Steering Wheels (there is one for the Xbox 360, so ideally you'd be able to support that on the 360 too).   ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Accessing Windows Services Status

  I have noticed a few things have changed in my ability to access information regarding Windows Services. If anyone has any good tips I would appreciate them. Apparently the security rights just to interrogate or query service information has been increased. When I used to call OpenSCManager and OpenService I used to be able to use a GENERIC_READ and SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS Now, I can only use STANDARD_RIGHTS_READ which is ok but... When I try to call the following I get an Access Denied. bResult = ControlService(scService, SERVICE_CONTROL_INTERROGATE, &lpServiceStatus); I've also tried QueryServiceStatusExe(...) but its denied access. What does a program have to do before it can access this information Anyone have ...Show All

• SQL Server Limiting Number of Items Displayed in Report

  ey there, quick question... is there any way to limit the number of items displayed in a single page say i want to display up to 10 items, and then the rest of the items are then displayed on the next page any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks! Tim It's possible if you group on an expression rather than a field: nest your table inside a list control in the properties of the list click "Edit Group Details..." set expression to : =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/10) in the expression, 10 represents the rows per page so you could make this parameter driven if you want to force to a new page then check the "Page Break After" check box, otherwise you'll get multiple tables appeari ...Show All
