• Internet Explorer Development IE7 div not stretching to fill width

  I keep getting this and I can't find the fix to it anywhere.... please help! When a div doesn't have enough content to fill the width of the area the div doesn't fill the whole width. A gap will appear at the end of the div in IE7 browsers. I don't want to have to set fixed widths for the middle content section so that it can shrink to fit re-sizing the browser. I've tried everything I can think of. Setting the width to 100% breaks it because the left navigation pane or right pane will no longer float. It's probably something really obvious so I can't find it on blogs. Floats, display states and random bug fixes I've found for IE7 don't seem to work. Thanks!! Hi, I have the same problem with IE7 ...Show All

• .NET Development Xml index in parent

  Hello, I have a XmlNode object and I want to know its index in its parent. the following code does the job but the performance is poor. any idea thanks public int getIndex(XmlNode node) { for ( int i = 0; i < node.ParentNode.ChildNodes.Count; i++) if (node.ParentNode.ChildNodes.Item(i).Equals(node)) return i; return -1; } You could try with XPath, check yourself whether that is faster. Approach in pseudo code is e.g. public int getIndex (XmlNode node) { if (node.ParentNode != null) { return node.SelectNodes("preceding-sibling::node()").Count; } else { return -1; } } ...Show All

WebBrowser thiswebpage = GetCurrentWebBrowser(); // Get the currently displayed WebBrowser URLtextbox.Items.Add(thiswebpage.Document.Url); But wehn I look at the combobox it has the webpage URL you were jsut at about 10 or more times in a row...So it is saving the cookies more then once, how do I fix this Thanks :) ok, so now it is URLtextbox.Items.Add(thiswebpage.Document.Url.ToString()); and it adds only one.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with maximized MDI child window

  I have a straightforward MDI application with four MDI child windows. The MDI client window fills the entire client area of the application's top-level window. Everything works correctly on Vista except in this one circumstance: If the application's top-level window is maximized *and* one of the child windows is maximized, the child window does not fill the width of the MDI client window (and hence of the screen). There is a strip (perhaps 10 or 20 pixels wide) down the right-hand side where the previous contents of the MDI client area can be seen - it is not repainted. If the top-level window is not maximized all is well: the maximized child window extends to the right-hand edge. If the top-level window is mazimized but the client w ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL statement troubles finding maximums.

  Hello everyone! Here's the deal. I have a table that contains data for contracts each time they are brought to our attention for a review. The first column in the table contains the contract number, the second column contains which review number the data is associated with (the first time it was reviewed, the second time, third, etc.). I need to make a subtable that contains the records from the last review of each contract. The problem is that, of course, each contract can and will have different numbers of reviews than most other contracts. I know how to use the max funtion to return the largest review number of the table, but this doesn't help because not all contracts have that many reviews. Is there any way I can accomplish this us ...Show All

• Windows Forms SelectionStart for control object

  I have several textboxes that I only want the user to enter numbers into. So I wrote a little routine to do this for a specific txtbox. I added the code txtbox.SelectionStart=100; to ensure the cursor always ends up at the end of the numbers. Worked fine until I moved the code to it's own procedure (probably I should call it a method) anyway... private void DelText ( Control tb) { Regex Num= new Regex ( "[0-9]" ); int l=0; l=tb.Text.Length; for ( int i=0; i<l; i++) { if (Num.IsMatch ((tb.Text.Substring (i, 1)))) { } else { tb.Text=tb.Text.Substring (0, i)+tb.Text.Substring (i+1, l-i-1); } } tb.SelectionStart=100; } now I get 'Control does not contain a definition of SelectionStart', Ho ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Custom Content Manager - Generics Question

  Greetings & Salutations: I am trying to put together my own kind of "Content Manager" as the current one appears to only work with content that has been added to the project, and not with say, a file on a network drive somewhere. I really like how the "XNA ContentManager" uses generics, and was trying to implement it myself, but encountered some errors. I looked on the net but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Basically, I would like to be able to fetch any kind of asset from my own content manager, regardless of what it is . The following function does not work as it is written. Could someone point out the proper way something like this is supposed to be implemented (PS. The content is stored in dicti ...Show All

If it is not possible, is this feature on the roadmap Best regards, Kris No, it's not possible. We don't have plans to support chroma keying. Instead, we plan to support alpha channels, which are even more powerful because they allow partial transparency. Tom ...Show All

• Smart Device Development TextBox OnClick

  (Compact .Net 1.0) TextBox does not have a OnClick EventHandler to use. So I created my own TextBox class and subclassed TextBox and I override OnClick. This compiles but when clicking on the TextBox the method never gets called. Is there any way to get notified when the TextBox is clicked or selected I tried catching the OnGotFocus event, that works great except if the focus is already on the TextBox and the user click on the box again. I need something to capture this case and OnGotFOcus does not get fired. Anu suggestions Thanks You can hook the underlying WM_LBUTTONDOWN or WM_LBUTTONUP message and do with it what you want.
