• Internet Explorer Development BHO and ExplorerBar in a single DLL?

  Is there any special precaution we need to take if we are going to package both the BHO and the explorer bar in a single dll In VC++ terms both the sources are in a single project and get compiled into a single dll. Or, is it adviceable to separate them into two different dlls If yes, why should they be separated Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks hi i dont think so it will create any problem because while working on my projects i gone throu many examples related to BHO which encapsulated toolbars and were very useful ..same will be true for explorer bar iguess. ...Show All

• Visual Basic AutoScroll problem of FlowLayoutPanel

  Hi I find that if buttons are added to a FlowLayoutPanel, the AutoAcroll (via mouse wheel)works. But if the added controls are pictureBox, then the autoScroll does not work. Does anyone know why The code I used is: Dim panel As New FlowLayoutPanel Dim control As New PictureBox 'Button ' panel.Width = 300 panel.Height = 500 panel.Location = New Point(10, 10) panel.FlowDirection = FlowDirection.TopDown panel.AutoScroll = True panel.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue Me .Controls.Add(panel) control.Width = 200 control.Height = 1300 control.BackColor = Color.Blue panel.Controls.Add(control) Thanks.

• Internet Explorer Development Internet Explorer ghastly photo quality

  My website has many high quality photos and about 900 visitors a day look at them, most use Internet Explorer. Unfortunately IE completely wrecks the picture quality when displaying it. If the photo is downloaded and viewed the quality is good. Are there any settings within IE that can be adjusted to improve displayed quality I realise that this would increase the time taken to display the picture. If nothing is available within IE itself, is there any other viewer that would give good results Without seeing the behavior myself, I'm guessing that this is either related to the image files' color space or with IE's image auto-scaling feature. If it's the color space, then I'm guessing that the ima ...Show All

• .NET Development The Specified Module could not be found

  I have an application developed with Visual Studio 2005 which consists of the main application EXE as a managed .NET Windows Forms application in C# and an unmanaged C DLL. I am calling functions in the unmanaged C dll using for example: [ DllImport ( "mynative.dll" )] public static extern short initialise(); and in the C DLL I have __declspec ( dllexport ) short initialise(); This all works perfectly on my development PC but when I deploy to another PC and run the application I get an exception as follows: Unable to load DLL 'mynative.dll" : The specified module could not be found (Exception from HRESULT: 0X8007007E) mynative.dll is present and stored in the same folder as the myapp.exe file and .NET 2 Frame ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Equivalent to OpenGL Displaylist

  Is there an equivalent in Direct3D to OpenGL Displaylists Thanks, Alexander. shade wrote: Nope, are display lists still around in OpenGL I am quite sure they have been removed from the new standard. Display lists are alive and well. As a matter of fact, unlike D3D, OpenGL does NOT remove functionality when new functionality needs to be added. This is probably one the strongest advantages OpenGL has over D3D. It's a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality vs. a "cut and run" mentality. The continued lack of ID3DXLine for D3D10 is one shining example (and please don't say something as naive as to suggest that stylized lines can be done through a GS) shade wrote: ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Getting Started

  Hi, I have been looking around sites to see how to program extensions and such, but I am not actually making one as of yet--I am just researching it so that I can prepare to make one. I just have one question if anybody wants to help me out. It would be greatly appreciated! Q: How does the Internet Explorer Add-on communicate with the web page For instance, can it act like a normal web page in that it can perform AJAX within itself, and get the response back from the server whenever it is returned Or can an add-on even be dynamic Any help would be very much appreciated! My view is very wide at this point, so any information would be helpful. I know the some of the technical side, except for this, and that is mostly what I a ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Application.Tasks contains 16 tasks for 1 instance of Excel

  Hi, We are using the property Application.Tasks in Word 2003 to try and find all the open instances of Excel, so we can display them as a list for the user to pick from when importing tables and charts. When the user selects one of the instances, we use Task.Activate() to give focus to the open Excel window. This works fine, except in the case of one system (IBM T43 Thinkpad, WinXP SP2, Word 2003 SP1), where for one instance of Excel open, there are 16 tasks reported by Word. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Regards, Angelos Petropoulos ...Show All

• Visual C++ Find all bad explicit pointer cast

  Hi, I try to migrate my software in 64-bit. I want to know how can I find all bad explicit pointer cast. Is there an option in VS2005 that can find all explicit cast with possible information lost. Thanks Eric A better option than the using the /Wp64 switch (which is based on heuristics) is to use the one of the 64-bit cross-compilers - these will issue a diagnostic if a pointer is ever truncated. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Simplest method to add e-mail to an application

  I am trying to find the simplest (& hopefully, most flexible) way to add e-mail capabilities to a Windows Forms application. I know I can use System.Net.Mail to send e-mail, but this requires some pretty specific information (server name, username, & password) that my application will not have access to. In an old VB6 application, I used MAPI to send e-mails, which I suppose is still an option in .NET. The benefit of using this is that MAPI handled all of the account information for me - it just "used" Outlook to send the e-mails. The only [minor] downside here was that my application required Outlook or OE to be installed on the computer - which is not really a problem where this application is distributed. Is t ...Show All
