• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to count no of non space characters in Word.range object

  ( I am using vs 2003, .net 1.1 , office 2003 , word object library 11.0 ) I am using a statement like objCurrentRange.SetRange(objParaRangeStart, objParaRangeEnd) and I want to check whether there are any characters , shapes , images or anything except ( space , tab , line and paragraph marks ) in the objCurrentRange. How to check it Please help me. Thanks in Advance. Rama Krishna Hi Rama Ah, sorry, my brain is so used to thinking in Word shortcuts I forget that others may not see things the same way. Yes, a Character returns a range. A range object always has a Text property. You want to compare against CurrentRange.Characters(i).Text Note: If I'm not mistaken, the Characters collection (like most Wor ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GSE and Vista

  So I heard on letskilldave (and the FAQ mentions it too) that there will be no Vista support for awhile, but I was really curious as to what the policy of GSE on Vista was. Is there some technical reason that it will not run, or is it something discouraged due to lack of testing e.g., will I be able to convince it to run by fooling/mangling the installer, or will it explode when I try to do anything with it Having just installed Vista 5536 on my best machine (the one sitting next to my 360 and the one with a new video card) and loving it, I don't think I could stand switching back to XP. I also need to do some ‘real’ dev under Vista, so that makes things difficult too ;( Thanks for any info anyone knowledgeable can ...Show All

• SQL Server Script Source: Error on truncation etc

  I have a script source to deal with a source that has different "record types" (first 3 columns are the same then the remaining 2 to 30 columns are different based on the record type). Script source was working fine... then one of the columns that I had set to String with length of 2 came in with a length of 3 (which is not per spec)... instead of failing - all the columns after the one that had the bad value were null and the script just stopped as soon as it hit that.. AND said it was success.  Which means it imported the data incorrectly and since the script says it was a sucess you'd never know anything went wrong and it only imported 30 rows instead of 10k+ Any ideas on how to capture this error Code (shortened ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Sound manager on smartphone

  Hi, I want to add a ring type with sound manager. After refering to Windows Mobile 5.0 help, I found sound manager would call appropriate ring tone handler to playback ring tone. The most default handler of rings is XME EventSound Player(XMEEvtSnd.dll). Take example for mp3 ring type or wma ring type, the ring tone handler is also XME EventSound Player. Whether XME EventSound Player uses DShow when it plays media files Whether XME EventSound Player can call my source filter if I writed a DShow source filter as preferred mp3 source filter Could you please tell me where I can find information about the way XME EventSound Player calls DShow source filters I have a problem that I cannot identify with W ...Show All

• Visual Basic Web Browser project

  I am working on a very simple browser, mainly for quick web surfing without the need of menus, favorites, and other fancy features seen in other browsers. The problem is, im quite new to this programming language, and i barely got anything out of what little time i had in Introduction to Computer Programming (using Visual Basic 6.0) before being pulled out of that class to make up a required credit. Im clueless as to how to get the WebBrowser object to respond to the input in the AddressBar, and display the site the user types. Any help on this would be really greatful. Thanks Well, I'm not sitting at my main computer (the one with VB installed) so I can't be exact. But I believe it is in the project properties. (Found in the " ...Show All

Does anyone have a solution, or reason for this That sounds like you now have a different problem, since GC overhead is totally gone in this new profile. What resolution are you running in, and what sort of screen is your Xbox connected to I'm wondering if this could be a problem with the game update rate not being quite in sync with the refresh rate of your screen ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ to SQL: Bugs and desperately wanted features

  We have been using the LINQ May 2006 CTP (VS2005) for some time now, and we are very eager to get our hands on the upcoming Orcas March 2007 CTP. However, after reading blog posts and chat transcripts, I've found out that the next Orcas CTP is going to be " on par " with the May 2006 CTP. This sent a cold chill down my spine, since the May CTP is so buggy that we cannot use it for even the most simple tasks... Will the Orcas March CTP include lots of DLINQ bugfixes, or just the codebase from May 2006 CTP Things we desperatly need fixes for include: 1. The @@IDENTITY bug. When inserting rows into a table with a trigger the wrong identity is returned, and thus LINQ gets out of sync. Use SCOPE_IDENTITY() instead! 2 . The ColumnAttribute ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CCommandBar: yet another problem

  Hello, I developed MFC dialog-based application with eVC 4.0. Now I'm trying to make it work on MSVS 2005 beta 2. I replaced CCeCommandBar with CCommandBar, but its functionality not the same. Really, I can't understand why should Microsoft replace working class with another one, which has more bugs :) The problem is that after inserting menu bar (InsertMenuBar) previously loaded toolbar gets invisible. If I change the order of these functions' calls (first, InsertMenuBar, then - Loadtoolbar) everything works well. But I need my toolbar to be on the left... so help me please :-) Please check my blog link at the following location. I havedescribed  about 4 possible options here http:// ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development hyperlinks won't work in IE7

  On some pages on my website, hyperlinks don't work. Basically, on certain sections of certain pages, IE7 won't seem to recognize mouse activity at all. Look at this page as an example: http://www.nytheatre.com/nytheatre/chor3550.htm On my screen, the main area of text is accessible, but the two sidebars (left and right) are not--and when you try to hover over them to access hyperlinks, it's as if the links aren't there. This seems to happen only when there's an image in the main division that is floated left. I am using CSS styles to define all of these divisions and their attributes. Has anyone seen anything like this These pages always worked in IE6 and they work in Firefox. I am not able ...Show All
