• Visual Basic User Control problem

  I have a UserControl which basically shows in a textbox the content of a row in a table relationally linked to another table in a database and also a combobox containing the contents of that second table. This mean that as you travel through the main table you can see what the linked text entries are and have a combobox when entering a new record. I started the table in VB.NET 2002 and upgraded it to VB2005 Express and have been using it successfully for some months.So, it has saved considerable code and added to my VB skills. However, having recently discovered the MaxDropDown size property for the combobox I wanted to add a line to the UserControl to fix the MaxDropDown size to be the size of the records in the table it accesses.

• Audio and Video Development XPath - selecting an element by index

  Seemingly this should be a valid XPath select for a <cue> or <par> -- why does it's inclusion cause iHDSim to report an "Unknown Exception" //div[@id=$chapter]/button[1] This should identify a specific <div> (using an XPathVariable set in script), and get the first button it contains. In fact it seems that the bracketed subscript notation doesn't work at all... Your question as I understand it is "how to select and element by index ", so why not just go straight to the button with "id('button_id')[state]" Is this a case where buttons under different divs share ids Otherwise I don't see why you need to handle div selection in the script.

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 embedded webbrowser control and SWF/PDF files

  My app embeds a webbrowser control. One issue I notice after installing IE7 is that if I browse directly to a SWF or PDF in the webbrowser control, the page is blank. If I browse to an html page that embeds a SWF, it works fine. Browsing directly to a SWF or PDF in my embedded webbrowser control works fine in IE6. Am I missing a flag/setting when creating my webbrowser control BTW - I'm using WinXP SP2. If I browse to the SWF or PDF in standalone IE7, it works fine. Jake- A KB article is coming out shortly about this issue. However, here's the short version: This error is occurring because of an unforeseen dependency between an IE6 XPSP2 security feature ( Local Machine Zone Lockdown ...Show All

• SQL Server Hard Coded parameters

  Is it possible to force parameters into the reports so enabling me to force a user id value into every report that is picked up from the list. The user ID is a system value and I don't want end users having any knowledge of it Cheers Darren Hi Jarret, I think this may be the answer, I need to provide a list of published reports , how would we then get the hidden parameter into it. Can we display a URL with the user ID already in it which will then render the report viewer with the other optional parameters to be picked. How do we stop somebody constructing a URL with a different user ID. A hidden parameter sounds like the right option but I'm confused how to populate it. Cheers, Darren ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Selection of only one object

  I have a macro that lets the user first select a number of charts and then when the user presses a button the charts sizes and color are eing changed. The problem is that it does not works if I only have one chart selected. When I have two or more it works fine. My code (relevant parts) is: Public Sub arrayLoop() Dim obj As Object Dim currentChart As Object For Each obj In Selection If TypeName(obj) = "ChartObject" Then Set currentChart = obj Call linjeDiagramKnapp(currentChart) End If Next End Sub In this sub I check the selection to see if the selected objects really are charts. I assume that there is something wrong here on the first line of the For-loop, but I do not know how it should be ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums combine 3 combo boxes values into one string

  Hi all, I have a table of data which can filter out my desired information after i selected a range of date, for example 1-Jan-2006 to 15-Jan-2006, in a combo box. I can only choose date being stated in the combo box, not much flexibility. Now, i want to change the format of the combo box. Instead of one combo box which show the date, i want three combo boxes which show "Year", "Month" and "Day". I can choose any year, any month and any day i want and it will filter out. I am thinking of a solution by combining the values of the three combo boxes into one string, one line "1-Jan-2006", and start to filtering. Is this the only way to do it or is there any better ways to do this Below is my existing VB ...Show All

• Visual C# What is "\n"? Any difference from "\r"?

  I know "\r" indicates a sentence break.
