• Windows Forms Get the parent Control object...

• Visual Basic Question

  Hey gyuz! I wrote a little program that runs any other program you want throuh a contextmenustrip.The program adds a notify icon in the tray and you can access the menu through there.All the programs you add are saved in the registry for calling them. I used the AddHandler to create a new ToolStripMenuItem each time i add a new program. But here is my question .. when running a program: I used : Process.Start(RegistryKey.GetValue(sender.tostring) and Shell(RegistryKey.GetValue(sender.Tostring),AppWinStyle.NormalFocus,False) The Process.Start works fine. The Shell throws the File Not Found Exception. I don't why! But Spotty - the OP said they are only launching other programs, so Shell should work fine. Surely the fai ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get Explorer-like drag images?

  Hi, On Vista, Windows Explorer uses some new kind of drag images. It consists of a quadratic (with rounded corners) bluish background with a large (48x48 I guess) icon on it. At the bottom of the drag image there's some blue text explaining what will happen if you drop the item. What do I have to do if I want such drag-images in my app I've a listview window which is the source of the drag operation. I call SHDoDragDrop() instead of DoDragDrop(), so that I don't have to fiddle around with IDragSourceHelper to get any drag images. However, I only get old-style drag images. I noticed that I get an empty quadratic (with rounded corners) bluish drag image WITHOUT icon if I intercept the DI_GETDRAGIMAGE message and simply return FALSE. So how d ...Show All
