• Visual C# Get window handle

  Hi All, Is there any possibility of getting the handles of all windows which are present in the taskbar. I need to track down which window is being closed and display a message stating the file name of the closed window. In the above case, i can take only the process as such.

When i'm closing this txt file, a message must be displayed in my windows application stating that the file is closed. Is it possible to do ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Shooting

  What code could u use for something to shoot. would this event work: if(GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.one).Buttons.A == ButtonState.pressed) shoot = true; if(Shoot = True) { bullet.X = Player.X; bullet.Y = Player.Y; buller.Y += bulletSpeed; shoot = false; } Ok, for a static class, you could do one of the following: public static class Constants { public static int BULLET_SPEED = 128; ... } Ok, now lets say you are firing the bullet at vector < 1, 1>. Lets say this is held in the variable bulletVelocity; So, bulletVelocity = new Vector2 (1,1); In order to move the bullet at constant speed regardless of direction, normalize the vector. bulletVelocity.

• SQL Server exporting multiple rows

  I'm trying to set up a row that has 5 rows below it and when you click on the + it'll expand to show the five lines. They're all set up to toggle based on the one row. It works online, but when I try to export it to anything, it only picks up the first detail row and leaves off the rest. I'm doing this for a bunch of reports, and they're all being emailed using subscriptions. I've moved the detail rows around but each time it's just the first detail row that is exported. Any ideas thx, M@ mattcushing@gmail.com(noSpam ) Hello, What formats are you trying to export to Toggleable visibility is only supported in a few rendering extensions (HTML, Winforms, and in some cases Excel).

• Windows Forms Windows application in different DPI

  I have developed a window form based application for tablet pcs. The problem I am facing is screen looks displaced on high dpi setting ie 120 how it make it work for both resolution Thanks Sudhee Two ways if you are in .net 2 you should be able to use the new containers like tablecontainers to repositions buttons and spacing in a % effect rather than by fixed widths. The second way is you check for what type of machine the users is on and there settings and programmatically change the screen. This is alot more long winded and very painful in places but this should hopefully solve you problem. HTHs, Sorry I could not give a better solution though. James ...Show All

• Gadgets Microsoft Bob

  How do I get this older software to work with XP I grabbed the Gateway edition of Bob, and it ran immediately on XP SP2 without any trouble at all, no compatibility mode needed or anything. I did have all sorts of weird junk installed on both PCs I tried, so maybe that had something to do with it. Anyway, I reckon if Bob was updated to be a proper XP application, with the following extra features: Your own decorations and application launcher pictures, and views and rooms and... essentially, completely customizable, including putting your own apps in as "proper" Bob apps, with Bob splash screens, and such. Room transitions, so if you click the trap door in your attic, it actually ...Show All

• Visual Basic Setting AD information from LotusScript

  Yes, I know what you're going to say; "What's a LotusScript question doing here in a VB forum " Well I'll tell you. The language is almost the same and I think I need to get a little closer to those well versed in Microsoft rather than the Notes folks. This is really more about AD access through a language rather than the actual language itself. Here goes.... A little while back, I posted a nifty script to update AD from notes -> https://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/ShowMyTopicsAllFlatweb/89727caefb8ca61b852571ef00607bb4 OpenDocument Since presently I'm a Domain Admin, it runs great when I run it manually from my PC.

• SQL Server Cal Measure % against total

  How to define calculated member whose value should be the row value divided by total of all rows. Example, sales of 2005 was 50k and sales for 2006 was 100k. The % 2005 sales is 33% of total (150k) and 2006 is 67%. Thank Hans This problem is solved. Please guide me to get the same result with multiple dimensions. Also, i have a variance calculated member, which is on the date time diminsion [Sale of 2005] - [Sale of 2006] = [Variance 2005].

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I do simple Telnet actions?

  What I would like to do (would be a dream, actually) is to create a little program that would check my current IP from time to time, and if the IP goes out of the 201.47.###.### range (due to my IP being dinamic), it would restart the modem as many times as needed to get an IP that would be in that range. I know the codes to reboot my modem through telnet are only these: telnet 192.168.1.1 **** (user) **** (pass) reboot Now I need to create a program that would check if my IP is in the range I want, and if not, it would run those 4 lines above, I just don't know how to input those simple telnet commands in VB .
