• Internet Explorer Development Getting Mouse Events for BHO

  Hi, I'm making a BHO for IE written as a COM dll in C++. I was wondering if there was a way to trap mouse events like mouseover a link, mouseout of a link etc. The only way I can think of now is to embed a javascript code in the document, but that's pretty messy and I am not totally comfortable with it. Also, is there an interface that would let me embed a page within the current document open in IE Thank you for any help.

• Visual Studio Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack

  I'm new to this forum. I hope you can help me. I'm using the Enterprise edition of VS 2005. When I debug my project an exception is raised - 'Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack'. I can't find anything about this on-line. I suspect this message is hiding the true exception. Does anyone know what this message means Regards, Andy Ham I have received the "Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack" but only when I am trying to perform a redirect from within a try catch block. If I move the redirect outside the block it works fine. I created a bool value th ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Express security issues

  Hi, I'm quite new to SQL Server Express and am having trouble with security. I have SQL Server Express installed on one of our servers and want to limit access to this instance of SQL Server, and basically grant access to only certain users within our organisation. However it seems that by default everyone can connect to SQL Server. First of all I enabled local and remote connections. I did not grant anyone access permissions under Logins, and then went back to my workstation and tried to connect to the instance of SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio which I have installed locally. I presumed and hoped that it would come up with a message saying that I don't have access permissions to connect to SQL Server, but instead it let me ...Show All

• SQL Server Adding Records to SQL DB

  Here's my dilema. I'm using VB.Net 2003 and SQL DB I'm having a problen adding a record to a table in my SQL DB My previous experience has been working with Access databases. When I try to create an SQLDataAdapter using the wizard from the toolbox the wizard will only create the Select statement. it won't create the UPDATE, DELETE or INSERT statements. I'm not sure why, I even tried using the form wizard and it still wouldn't work... My tables all have primary keys defined. So I decided that I would try to create everything programatically. What I need to know is how to create the INSERT statement and which statements to use to add the record to the table. I know that when using the OLEDataAdapter with the Acces DB I ...Show All

• SQL Server script in text in 2005 EM?

  Hi, In 2000 you could script out a file (tables SP's etc.) as text by going under Options -> File Options and choosing the MS-DOS text (OEM) format. I'm wondering where/if this same capability is in 2005. Right now, it looks like the default is binary. Can anybody share some information on this Thanks, Phil That's only how to script an object. My question is how to script an object as text. If you notice when you script an object like the way you are suggesting, it will by a binary file (atleast when I check it into sourcesafe). This was an issue I had before in SQL 2000, but atleast it gave the option to script the file out to MS DOS (text). Does anyone else know what I'm referring to ...Show All
