• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Embedded UI Elements in RichTextBox - Disabled?

  I am trying to embed user interface elements inside a RichTextBox control. In particular, I would like to embed a RichTextBox inside a RichTextBox. I can't seem to get the embedded control to be enabled for editing (or clicking in the case of a button). Setting IsEnabled = "True" in the XAML doesn't do the trick either. What should I be doing Is this currently supported e.g the embedded button with the "Click Me!" caption in the XAML sample below is not click-able: <Window x:Class="WindowsApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/20 ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Accessing Windows Contacts using MAPI

  Is it possible to use MAPI to access the new Windows Vista Contacts If so, any samples would be appreciated. I don't have any samples available right now, but yes, you can use MAPI to work with Windows Contacts. You can retrieve the IAddrBook object from WAB32's WABOpen function. Programs written against Contacts this way should work also on XP's WAB. MSDN documentation on WABOpen: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/workshop/wab/Reference/Functions/WABOpen.asp There's also a new IContact API that gives you more flexibility when working with the new XML format. MSDN has samples inline with the documentation. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735779.aspx Hope that help ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deploying a Protected executable

  Hi, I would like to use windows installer to deploy a protected .exe that uses a USB dongle. I run the protection software to create the protected .exe. I then copy the protected .exe into my Release directory, when I build the installer it will write over my protected version with the non-protected. I need the detected dependancies for this app to work right. So what I do is remove the project output from the installer and add the protected .exe. My installer than works fine, protected version is deployed. Question is, is this the correct way to do this Does anyone have a better way to deploy a protected .exe using windows installer Thanks Jeff Adding the files (like your exe) t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adding a custom control in Datagridview cell

  Hi all, I am a .NET developer and am facing a problem in Datagridview. To start with, I had a combobox as the column type in DataGridView. I was populating this combobox from a database table which had some aroudn 37,000 records. With so many records getting populated in the combobox on the datagridview slowed the datagrid to an exruciating slow speed. To resolve this issue, I thought of writing a custom control which will have a text box and a drop down box next to it. The text box in the custom control will let the users type a search value for the description(display member) and the results will then populate in the dropdown next to it. For e.g, if the users are searching for a company name (america), they will type america in the tex ...Show All

• Gadgets File Association

  What programme does the .gadget extension need to be associated with to get it to add to the Windows Sidebar I've managed to accidently associate .gadget with WinRar by doing an open with to work out why one of mine wasn't installing correctly, and now can't find how to reset it. Associating it with sidebar.exe doesn't work, and Windows' automated jobbie doesn't know what a .gadget is.

• .NET Development WMI Class?

  I created this class in C# designed around a mirror of the WMI "Win32_LogicalDisk" class. my plans for it were to just be able to throw a WMI object into my Class. So i could work with the Data alot more smoothly and without having to have a list of all the classes and stuff in front of me. So anyways, i'm new to the whole WMI thing, so i noticed that the way to get a logical disk was to grab a collection and then enumerate through the collection to get what you need. well, what i need is to get a list of logical disks and throw all of their data into a 'NEW" instance of my class. So, i'm kinda of stumped on how to have a collection of objects, have the code understand how many objects there are, give each of the ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.NET 2005 RC - Datagrid issue

  I have an application which uses a datagrid to display a property listing.   The list will contain around a quarter of a million records so I need the user to have a simple way to search. I have built a search routine which allows the user to type some text in to a toolstrip bar and then performs a search through the dataset.   The issue I have is when the routine finds a match, I need it to highlight the row on the datagrid.   This is where I have the problem; I cannot see how to achieve this.   I have tried searching everywhere (Google/Experts Exchange etc) and have seen some pretty ridiculous solutions such as mimicking a user clicking on the mouse. I also found what I thought were useful ideas such as : &n ...Show All
