• Windows Forms locking of combo box

  Dear All, I just added a combo box in my form. I wrote the code in public frmForm1() //================== { //This call is required by the Windows Form Designer. InitializeComponent(); comoboBox1.Items.Clear(); comoboBox1.Items.Add( "USA" ); comoboBox1.Items.Add( "INDIA" ); comoboBox1.Items.Add( "UK" ); comoboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0; } than i called the load event.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Shell Extensions?

  In Vista Beta 1 our shell extensions worked but in beta 2 Build 5384 it no longer works. I found some mention of Like all COM objects, Shell extension handlers must implement an IUnknown interface and a class factory . Most must also implement either an IPersistFile or IShellExtInit interface in Windows XP or earlier. These were replaced by IInitializeWithStream , IInitializeWithItem and IInitializeWithFile in Windows Vista. The Shell uses these interfaces to initialize the handler. In some msdn documentation but I can't find any samples. Anyone have any information Thanks. icon handlers (that implement IExtractIcon) are initalized like they were in XP using IPersistFile. you should see IPersistFile::Load() b ...Show All

• SQL Server Accesing cube browser

  My boss saw the Browser tab of a cube in an Analysis Services project in BIDS. He says he want to access it for designing his own reports in real time. I suppose the cube browser is not intended to be used directly by the users but if the boss says he want it, he means he want it. So I wonder if there is any way to access the cube browser from managed code. Is it any kind of ActiveX control or any other thing callable by code One more comment. If the boss will be content with calling "something" while the "report model" would be right in the BIDS's Cube Browser page then it is possible to write Visual Studio Add - In, which would access the pivot table throught its documented object ...Show All

• Visual Studio "msdn help" for Visual Studio 2005 versus "msdn help" Visual Studio 2003

  Does the MSDN Help for MS Visual Studio Standard 2005 duplicate the MSDN Help for MS Studio Professional 2003 Basically, I would like to uninstall MSDN Help 2003, it it's "covered" in MSDN Help 2005, so as to free up valuable disk space. well technically yes however there may have been some additions or modifications for .NET 2.0. As well as this, if you try to show the help for VS2003 and you have uninstalled it, it will not run the .NET 2.0 help file, since its in a different namespace and resource ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Multiple NTVDM.exe

  I work for a corporation(TimeManagement Corporation) that uses a 16 bit application that runs in the virtual dos machine. Two years ago Microsoft released a security patch(MS04-012) that caused each new 16-bit file to open in it's own ntvdm thus not allowing our 16-bit application to communicate with other files that it calls. We contacted Microsoft about this but it was not taken care of until we posted on a forum. They then released a hotfix(KB841559) to fix this issue. We are now having the same problem with MS Windows Vista and would like to know if we can get a fix for this issue to allow our program to be compatable again. Possible scenarios where an app might be invoked in a new NTVDM are app ...Show All

• Visual Basic DataGridView Row Slection Question

  What I would like to do is, if the user selects a single row, all the fields from that row are displayed in individual text boxe, ie.. a detail screen for that row, I am just stumped on how to get the data, by column, for the selected row. Any help would be appreciated. John Actually, I am looking for a way to do this without bound controls. I guess the better way to phrase the question is how do I capture (display)the data from a specific column, based on the row clicked My DataGridView has many columns that are not visible without scrolling, but there are key fields that I would like to have "pop up" when I click the row.
