• Internet Explorer Development ActiveX Modal Dialogs do work in IE7

  Our product is suffering some pretty severe problems because of IE7. We've starting getting calls that dialog windows become hidden. We've heard this is a threading issue. We found out that the problem is actually much worse. Modal dialogs don't seem to function correctly in IE7. You can recreate the problem using VB6 by doing this: 1. Create an ActiveX UserControl project. 2. Add a form to the project (form1) 2. Put a button on the user control (usercontrol1). 3. Add this code to usercontrol1. Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim objForm As Form1 Set objForm = New Form1 Call objForm.Show(vbModal) End Sub 4. Build the project as an OCX somewhere on your hard drive. 5. Find your control's CLSID in regedit. I ...Show All

• Visual C# Exclude element from foreach index (MenuStripItem) HELP!

  Hello! I have a foreach loop. How can I exclude one of the elements from being indexed: I have a foreach loop setting a property for each of the items in a ToolStripMenuItem category, but one of the items is a ToolStripSeperator, and I would like to exclude it so the foreach loop would set the property for all of the items EXCEPT the toolstripseperator. How can I do that Matt Hey guys! Thanks for the answers: One more thing: How can I do this: foreach ( ToolStripItem item in favoritesToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems) { if (item.GetType() == typeof ( ToolStripMenuItem )) { if (item.ToolTipText == "1" ) favoritesToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Remove(item); ...Show All

• Visual Basic Starting apps at shutdown

  I am writeing a simple app that displays a message telling the user to turn off the moniter etc before the user shuts down the system. Could someone exlpain how I can run the app at shutdown. The app also has to be iinstalled on a large network, is there anyway of installing it on all the machines at once. Thanks Thanks, That seems to work. Another problem that's appeared is the machines that the app will be installed on is using an older version of the .Net framework and an error saying it can't find the framework.

• SQL Server Adding diskspace to SQLServer 7.0

  We have created a large Image database using SQLServer 7.0 and are now worrying about the capacity of our hard disks. Question 1: At what percentage of free-space should we take action to increase the capacity of the database Question 2: Does this simply involve adding further 'Locations' for the database files / transaction log using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager Properties dialog box (select database in treeview, right-click | Properties) Question 3: It would appear that we can add further 'Locations' that are shared network directories and so increase the capacity of the database beyond the limits of physical storage on our database server PC - currently 500GB RAID array. Clearly, this will impact performance, but what oth ...Show All

• Visual Basic Fraction to decimal

  Hi! I have a list with prices of US Treasury bonds. They are quoted in a particular way that I would like to convert to decimal form. They are quoted like this eg: 99-02. Now this means that the price is 99 and some decimal. The two first numbers are the number of 32:s. Thus in this case the price is 99 and 2/32. However if there are three decimals eg 99-021 the last digit refers to the number of 124:s. Thus the price is 99 and 2/32 and 1/256. Sometimes There are only two decimals followed by a plus or minus sign eg 99-30+ or 99-10-. The plus/minus indicates that you should add/subtract 1/64. Keep in mind that the non decimal numbers may be one, two or three digits. Thus, it could be eg. 6-02 87-22- or 105-21+. Is there any wa ...Show All

• SQL Server Conditional Formatting - not so conditional??

  I have the following code in the color property of a textbox. However, when I run my report all of the values in this column display in green regardless of their value. =SWITCH(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3, "Red", Fields!Wrap.Value < 3, "Green") I already tried =iif(Fields!Wrap.Value >= 3 , "Red", "Green") and got the same results. Is it because this is a matrix report What am I doing wrong Thanks in advance . . . I made the change that you suggested. Which eliminates the warning that I was receiving. However, I am still getting inconsistent results with the formatting. For instance, of the following values only 5.09, and the two 0.00's are colored green. Could ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Supported gamepads (Spacewar)

  Hi, Is just the XBOX360 game pad supported, or should other pads also work. I've tried connecting my old MS Sidewinder Plug and play pad, which is working in other programs, but not here. Is there something I need to set up And (if other pads are not supported in spacewar), is this a limitation of the spacewar demo that can be coded around for windows based games Chris So if we want to use other controllers, which is pretty much a requirement for a pc game, were back to mdx and we loose xbox360 compatability Is there a way we can detect the type of controller connected using xna ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Smooth scrolling images

  I'm displaying a bunch of thumbnail images in a listview and I want the items to scroll smoothly like Picassa (google's photo tool). For a comparison, I'm running the WPF PhotoApp sample (WPFSamples\Demos\photoapp) and adding extra images to the content directory. Notice how the scrolling is jumpy instead of smooth. Any ideas on the easiest way to smooth out the scrolling Set your ListView.Scrollable=False and wrap it in a ScrollViewer, adding the CanContentScroll="false" property. You'll then be able to control the amount of each scroll, and animate it the way you want. ...Show All
