• Visual Basic Hyperlinks and spaces

  I can't hyperlink a portion of my code becuase the folder name contains a space. It would be very difficult to rename the folders at this point as there are thousands of them in many places that are being pointed to from the database that it is being pulled from. Below is the code used to render the page when I click on a vbs file during my weekly routine of file maintenance: rsName.MoveFirst   do while not rsName.eof     htm = ""     htm = htm & "                <tr>" & vbCrLf     htm = htm & "                 ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro How copy form from VFP5 to VFP9

  Hi, I'm a retired DOS programmer and am learning VFP9. I messed with VFP5 a few weeks ago and created a form (doesn't connect to anything and has no code - simply a form). I now have VFP9 and would like to copy that form from 5 to 9. How Thanks Lamon wrote: I messed with VFP5 a few weeks ago and created a form (doesn't connect to anything and has no code - simply a form). I now have VFP9 and would like to copy that form from 5 to 9. How You shouldn't have to do anything: the SCX should open equally well in 5 and 9. It's possible that saving it in 9 could leave it uneditable in 5, but that shouldn't be an issue for you. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies How do you limit the site templates available for sub sites to Portal or WSS site?

  When creating a sub site to either a portal site or a site colleciton you are presented with a list of templates to choose from. I want to limit this list. Anyone know how I can pick and choose which templates my users see when they try to create a sub site Thanks Chris Fields In sharepoint 2007, the templates are 'features' which can be activated and de-activated using the STSADM.exe tool that comes with sharepoint. You can use this tool to de-activate templates. Another option (also for the 2003 version) is to 'hide' the templates in the list, which can be specified in an XML file on the webserver (WEBTEMP.XML for example). This xml file contains the list of site definitions (the templates) and ca ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Repeated Prompting at runtime: ENU-String Resource is already installed

  When deploying a CSharp program on the Pocket PC 2003 emulator I keep getting prompted with the following message: "Microsoft .NET 1.0 ENU-String Resource is already installed. Re-install " After I click OK, the program runs as expected. This is with Visual Studio 2003 and the Pocket PC 2003 SDK. This started after a fresh install of VS 2003 and after I installed service pack 1 (of VS). This issue does not occur on other development machines. I've seem some articles that say to tell VS to stop deplying it as it is not needed. But, I can't find where to tell it to stop. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

• Visual C++ Tooltips disappeared after switch from VC 6 to VC 8 due to breaking change in CWnd::OnToolHitTest()

  Hello everybody, after switching from Visual C++ 6.0 (VC 6) to Visual C++ 2005 (VC 8), many tooltips in my dialogues would not show up anymore.  It took me quite a  while to pin down the reason for this behaviour: The tooltips don't show up anymore for all child window controls which lie inside the window rect of another control like a group box or a tab control(*) preceding it in the tab order. The enclosing control has child window id IDC_STATIC, which in VC 6 meant that it was ignored by CWnd::OnToolHitTest()  (more precisely by _AfxChildWindowFromPoint(), which is used by OnToolHitTest(), see below). Now in VC 8 the constant for the controls-to-be-ignored chang ...Show All

• Visual C# Where can I buy Visual C# 2005 Standard Edition in Australia?

  Anyone, I an only 15 years old but I regard myself as a beginner in C# programming. My dad bought me a copy of Visual C# 2003 and I have been reading nothing but good things about Visual C# 2005 but I can't buy it! I live in Australia and it seems that Microsoft in their wisdom do not sell this product but only the full Visual Studio 2005 that I have no hope of affording at all. My first question is this - why can't I buy Visual C# 2005 in Australia I would also like to ask another question. Why can't I print the contents of a RichTextBox in Visual C# 2003 There is a solution on the knowledgebase that I simply can't follow. Maybe nobody else can because third party providors produce PrintAdapters, PrintForm and PrintControl see ...Show All
