• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums MS Office document and image writer print driver

  Besides removing this feature from Office during setup, is there a process to remove this virtual printer from 300 users with roaming profiles on an active directory network We are having an issue with this printer assuming the "default printer" selection for our users. As a work around we have changed their default printer, but after they reboot or log off / on it has defaulted back to the MS Ofc doc and image writer printer. Hello, I have the opposite problem. I have users who have had the icon for the Office Document Image Writer deleted under Printers and Faxes. You mention above that it is easy to reinstall the virtual printer. Could you point me to the directions for reinstallation pleas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Application to generate MS Word document?

  Is it possible for a C++ application to generate the MS Word *.doc files For example, if I had a form with two text boxes and a button on it. When the button is clicked, would it be possible for the program to make a new MS Word document that has a 2 cell table with the text box values in each cell, and save this Word file to the current directory If so, any pointers to the libraries to use or whatever tools I would need would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance If you are using the 2003 version of Word, it supports XML and it might be easier for you to generate a WordprocessingML (XML) document and just open it in Word. Take a look at this blog entry and try the example. Generatin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Deciding where to land the main window when it's constructed

  I have two monitors, one 19" CRT (main) at the right, and a 26" LCD at its left. So far, the XNA examples (the packaged one and some from people) have a tendency of making this window lie on both monitors. There's about 100 pixels laying on my left screen and the rest in the right screen. This makes it the program run VERY choppily, until I move the window fully into only one monitor. Also, while I'm accomplishing this moving task, the mouse cursor refreshes in windows about once per second, increasing the difficulty of that small task. I've tried doing: graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.X = 10; graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Y = 10; but it doesn't appear as if I can. Ok, that makes sense. I re ...Show All

• Visual C++ double to decimal representation - more digits than necessary are produced

  Hello everybody... I've got a question that has been making me suffer unberable pain recently, and it concerns the following snippet: double x = 8517.44; printf("%.25G\n",x); The printed result is 8517.4400000000005. Ok, internally, the number is represented as 1.0397265625000000621724893790087662637233734130859375 x 2^13 = 8517.440000000000509317032992839813232421875 When converting that number to string, how does VC++ decide how many decimal digits to produce I'd expect a reasoning in the lines of : "Representing 8517 requires 14 binary digits. An IEEE double has 53 binary digits precision, so 40 binary digits remain for the fractional part, or 2^40 different possibilites. However, 10^11 < 2^40 < 10^12, so 12 decimal di ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Remove item from listview

  Hi I'm trying to remove items from a listview, but it's dificult. The list view has these items: bogascorp netcount tuga To add items a do: listView1.Items.Add("tuga", 0); To remove a try: ListViewItem lista = new ListViewItem ("netcount"); listView1.Items.Remove(lista);   But it doesn't remove! What i want to do is this, by providing a string it should delete the item that has the same name as the string. Hi. The item doesn't get removed because it's not contained in the listView1. Although the text is the same, it's not the same item. I'd suggest you include the item keys when adding items to the list, like: listView1.Items.Add( "tuga" , "tuga" , ...Show All

• Visual Studio How can one get a handle to the CompilerResults class from a regular build?

  Hi folks, Does anyone know how I could get a handle to the CompilerResults class when the user builds a project in C# Or is this impossible I've found a way to intercept the TaskListEvents from the DTE (I'm now using an add-in), but the taskitems it contains don't return the compiler error number, which I would like to keep track of. Does anyone have any ideas I'm not feeling the love here :(. tom Answering some old questions for the archives... CompilerResults can only be retrieved when compiling through the CodeDOM, not when compiling with the command line compiler (VS uses something similar to the command line compiler). The only thing you can do is to open the output window and find ...Show All

• Visual Studio Remove “View Code” from Context menu

  I have an editor register for a “.xyz” file. On the Context menu I see a “View Code” option. I would like to remove it for the .xyz file. How can I Do this Also I would like to remove the “Cut”, “Copy”, “Delete”, “Rename” Options from the context menu (.xyz). Is this possible If so how can I do it Thanks Hallo, First of all, do you mean the context menu in the editor or the one when you right click the file in the project hierarchy Since you also want to remove the Cut, Copy, Delete, Rename commands, I guess you mean the one in the project hierarchy. To change or control the appearance of these commands, you have to be the implementer of the project. Then you can control all th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there a way to define default values for properties in a GameComponent?

  Hello. I was wondering if there's a way to define which default values appear in the designer view of a component's properties. You know, the values that are not bolded, and appear as a default when you first add a component Thank you in advance. :) Edit: Ok, shortly after posting this, I found out how to define the default values (you just have to initialize the correspondent private variable with the value you want), but how do you make the default values "unbolded" string prop; [DefaultValue="hello"] public string MyProp { get { return prop;} set { prop = value; } } ...Show All
