• Software Development for Windows Vista Radio Button Patterns in WPF?

  I am trying to write an automation provider for a collection of radio buttons in a WPF application. The help files seem to indicate that I should implement a selection provider pattern for the collection, which would mean that the Radio Buttons support the Selection Item provider pattern. Unfortunately radio buttons do not seem to support any Automation patterns.

• Windows Forms Multi-page printing of a DataGridView table

• Windows Forms Looking for good setup system...

  I am trying to design a nice robot model in 3ds max and export it as an x-file, so I can use it. That is fairly easy, but the problem is that when I design and position the various sub elements, they are stored in the xfile with vertices in the subobjects local coorinatesystem (which is good), but when I call mesh.drawSubset, the transformation matrix, which positions the subobejcts relative to eachother in the world, is used automatically. That might have been a bit unclear, but the problem is this. I have a box with its center at 0,0,0 and a size of 200 in all three directions. On one of its corners (at 100,100,100) I have another box, and that other box has its model space center at 100,100,100. The other box has a size of 20 in a ...Show All
