• Software Development for Windows Vista Missinng flash.ocx in vista rc1.....

  Hello i need help about windows vista rc1 build 5600 ... I tried to install my router's software but the autorun could not run because flash.ocx was missing (installing flash player 8 did not solve the problem) In windows xp/2000 the autorun works properly. What should i do plz help me Hello. The autorun program requires Adobe Flash ActiveX component which is not available in Windows Vista by default. You have probably tried to install Flash Player from other browser than MSIE. Since Adobe doesn't provide direct links to the component's installer, a browser specific version is always downloaded. First of all, try installing the player from this site: http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html If this ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums clickable polyline/polygon

  We can use pushin to create a clickable point to display information, what about clickable polylines and polygons For example, there is a street closed due to pipe line break, or new construction cause 2 miles of interstate highway closed, etc. I want to be able to do similar things with those lines, for example, hover or click on the line, and get information popup window, like those push pins. I know you can not attach events to a line for now, what about future versions I want to know if this can be done in client side, not capture the clicked point and send an AJAX request to a server performing spatial query on that location. Thanks a lot, Yup, that's MUCH better, and that's what I'd like to do. But ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Avoiding/Eliminating the "OK to Reinstall dialog box"

  I've built an enterprise solution that includes both a WinForms app and a Pocket PC app. To facilitate the installation of the mobile app, the WinForms app copies the Mobile CAB file over to the device and then executes it. It works fine except that whenever and update is being installed, it presents the following dialog box: Blah-blah-blah is already installed. Re-install OK Cancel I'd very much like to find a way to eliminate this dialog box. Does anybody know how Robert Werner Vancouver, BC I'm having similar issues.

• Visual Studio Team System Need Total Count of Test Cases

  Hi -- I've set up a solution which holds nothing but a bunch of manual test cases for a product we are shipping. I can execute the test, record results, publish them to a build, etc. I have defined a couple of custom reports, and also use the built-in Quality Indicators report. However, I can't find anyway to get the report to list the total number of test cases that are in the system. This is important for assessing the overall quality of a build. For example, suppose that I have 500 manual test cases defined. For a particular build, 10 of them are run and all passed. If I look at the Quality Indicators report, I see that 10 tests have passed, but I have no idea that there are 490 tests that never got executed. Is there an easy w ...Show All

• Visual Basic Wait a moment!

  In VB6 there was a wait command that would halt the program untill a button was pressed, or some other type of event would restart the programme. Is this still available in VB.Net Unless your code is telling the program to do something (through a timer, for example), the program by default will not do anything until it receives an event. Using Sleep() in your main thread will not help you if you are waiting for a button push. If you have a process that you want to pause, program it to 'stop' at your predefined point, then monitor a flag, waiting for it to be set. Set the flag in your button push. Alternatively you could throw up a messagebox ("Push me to continue"). ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Directshow time stamp question

  Howdy, I am extracting the mp3 information from a .swf file and streaming to an avi file in directshow. I need to set up the time stamp on the audio manually. The problem I am having right now is that I can't set the time stamp in my way: (0, 2000000) (2000000, 4000000)(4000000, 8000000)(8000000, 16000000)(16000000, 24000000),.... As you can see, I want to use small step(4000000) to set up the timestamps for the first couple frames and then use a large step(8000000) for the rest of time stamp. When I use settime, I always get the error from directshow which says "the start time stamp is later then the end time stamp." I have printed out all the time stamp that I stamp on each audio sample and can't find any illegal time stamp. Al ...Show All
