• Windows Search Technologies fast searching/indexing service

  As I am now using WDS 2.6, do I still need to have fast searching/indexing service enabled If not, how do I disable Indexing Service and does it maintain a file somewhere that could be deleted to free up disk space yes, I am referring to the XP Indexing Service that is optional.

• Smart Device Development PASSING AN INTEGER FROM C++ TO WINDOWS

  I have two variables x2 and y2. both variables exist in my c++ program and my windows program. i do not know if GUI automatically updates both programs or if i have to send a message from my c program to my windows program. i assume the variables are automatically updated in my windows program, by GUI,when i change the x2 and y2 variables in my c program is this true soac. for assumption purposes, i am assuming that gui updates variables in my windows program that are changed in my C++ program. my problem then is how to declare the variables. i am assuming that my c++ program should have the "int x2, int y2" declarations and my windows program does not have to have this declaration, it should be able to u ...Show All

• Smart Device Development SHCreateMenuBar and SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON

  I've used SHCreateMenuBar on WM5. If I wanted to change the menu items, should I use the following approach  mb.hwndMB = NULL;    mb.nToolBarId = IDR_MENU1;  SHCreateMenuBar (&mb); ....later....  ::DestroyWindow (mb.hwndMB);  mb.hwndMB = NULL;   ....later.....  mb.nToolBarId = IDR_MENU2;  SHCreateMenuBar (&mb); Also, SHFullScreen (GetSafeHwnd(), SHFS_HIDESIPBUTTON) hides the SIP button, but if the SIP button area on the menubar is clicked, it reappears.  Is there any way to prevent this happening   Hi, I think these shall be helpful. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sh ...Show All

• Windows Forms datagridview .net 2.0

  Hi, Basically this is the kind of thing I am doing to add an image column to dataGridview control in .net 2.0. It works fine first time during population. But if would like to re-populate, then the image column gets added again. So will end up with two image columns and so on... I think I need a way to remove this image column before population. DataGridViewImageColumn imageCol = new DataGridViewImageColumn(); imageCol.DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter; imageCol.ImageLayout = DataGridViewImageCellLayout.Normal; imageCol.Frozen = true; imageCol.Name = "Image"; imageCol.HeaderText = ""; dgvUsers.Columns.Add(imageCol); p.s dgvUsers is populated ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista how can I connect 2 states ?????????

  I'm trying to connect a startstate and a state to each other, but I don't see the connectorhit object in the toolbox. How can I connect 2 states to each other First you need to add a Initialize State / Finalize State or an EventDriven activity to your state. From here you can add a "Set state" activity. On this activity you can choose the destenation state and the WWF designer will draw the line for you. Regards Anders Kjellerup Jacobsen ...Show All

• Visual J# need help with detecting 3rd party software installation

  Hi All, I would like to know how to detect an installation for a 3rd party software I need to do this to enable/disable some of the UI/functionality of the software I am working on. Is there a standard approach to this problem (e.g. via a j# class) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Cherith It depends on the 3 part software...
