• Gadgets DOM and select object

  hi everybody, I have a lot of difficulties with the select option, to write all the option features in the drop-down list. In standart html, it works well : http://albidochon.free.fr/jeu3/test.html but can't resolve the dom code in js, it shows the select drop-down list, but it is empty. i found a lot of code to do this, but not in the dom way, and nothing in the msdn documentation. the problem seems to be in the js function : function tri(){ for (i=0; i< jeu(0).options.length; i++) fill and write the options fields......i miss this } I don't want to do iframe gadget or js innerhtml, so, so....

• Visual Studio Express Editions Express edition vs. "the real thing"

  Hi folks, I am currently working on a program that I intend to use at our company. Since VBE is free, I thought I start with that to see if I can manage to get the job done. Now it appears that it might work, so I think about purchasing the VB Studio 2005 package (VS). I bought Evangelos Petroutsos book "Visual Basic 2005" (recommended!), and from what I can see everything applies to both the VB part of VS, and to the VBE edition. I have a few questions however, just to make sure: - can any solution written in |the Express edition be imported / opened in VS or does it need to be re-written - will an application compiled in VS run faster (more optimized code) - is there anything else different that I should know Greetings, Th ...Show All

Thanks I believe you are asking how you can run an application when windows is shutting down If that is the case I think you can use the SystemEvents which is located in the Microsoft.Win32 Namespace.
