• Windows Forms Changing Color Scheme Programmatically

  Greetings! My new customer wants to do something that seems like it ought to be simple: they want to have their app appear in High Contrast Black or High Contrast White if the user is outdoors and having problems seeing the display. They want it to work very much like the High Contrast color schemes in the Accessibility option in Control Panel; but they want to change this via options in their app, without forcing the user to navigate Control Panel. The Control.SystemColorsChanged Event says: This event is raised if the SystemColors is changed by either a programmatic modification or user interaction. But I can't find any WinForms mechanism for changing SystemColors programmatically. Target platforms are XP and Vista. Any ideas In a rel ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Logo compatible version for Microsoft Merge Modules

  We're designing our application's installer (using InstallShield 12) to be compatible with Window Vista. Our application requires some Microsoft merge modules to be installed on the target PC and one of these is the 'oleaut32.msm'. We're getting errors with this file when we validate it against Vista requirements, so I'm just wondering whether Microsoft has any plan to release a Vista Logo compatible version of their merge modules, particularly for 'oleaut32.msm' Thanks! I am exactly in the same situation getting the same error while including the merge module for vista. Could you please explain in detail how did you solve this issue. I have tried to include the .dll/.ocx file fr ...Show All

• Windows Forms Another ListView Question

  i have setup a ListView control after much hard work but stumbled onto a problem, when you add new items then close the application then run it again the items are no longer remembered should the ListView control remember whats been added and if so how can it be done thanks btw im using MS VS 2005 C++ i like the look of the new ListView but i personally think it wasnt very well thought, for instance you cant save anything without having to serialize it (even though it has an add/remove function) i mean whats the point in having an add and remove and clear if it doesnt actually add/remove or clear anything doesnt make any sence at all. i think they should release a new version that does what its supposed to so such as add and remove. ...Show All
