• Windows Search Technologies Syntax for from:name OR to:name ??

  At the moment, my most common search is to look for correspondence with a particular person or company, usually just before or during a telephone call.. The syntax I use is - from:name OR to:name from:company_name_in_email OR to:company_name_in_email Is there a shorter syntax to find all of the correspondence from one source <I know I can abbreviate names to the first few leading characters> If not then it would be useful if there was one short syntax command word that would do both from: & to: with the logical OR i.e. without having to type the string parameter for name twice Regards Graham ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox 360 Headset

  Hello, i want to know if and when how, i can use the Head set for the Xbox 360 game i am developing. Any help would be greatly appriciated. i'm interested in this too. the key is if we get access to the actual headset audio stream if so, then we could wire those to commands in the game. granted, i'm pretty sure SAPI does not run on the 360, so you'd have to write your own custom speech recognition engine. something like this : http://www.brains-N-brawn.com/noReco/ for more advanced speech reco, i'd look into porting CMUs sphinx project. the latest version was written in Java.

• Windows Forms Move to next control located in other tab

  Hi all, I have 2 tabs in the tab control. When I press Tab on the last control on tab1, how to move to next tab and appropriate control in the tab order similarly in reverse way with Shift+Tab. I want a generic way to implement for all screens. Thanks A good approach is to sub-class the TabControl class and implement your custom Tab handling with the ProcessCmdKey() method. Add a new class to your project and paste this code: using System; using System.Windows.Forms; class MyTabControl : TabControl { protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData) { if (keyData == Keys.Tab && tabForward()) return true; if (keyData == (Keys.Tab | Keys.Shift) && tabBackward()) return true; return base. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Project Subtype

  I have already created a new Project Type to be integrated into the VS Solution Explorer. and it is working well The VS Package for the Project I have developed is in unmanaged code using COM. Would it be possible to extend a VC# or VB project with the functionality I have acheived with the new Project type I have created. I have read about Project subtypes. My question is if I enable my project package to support IVsAggregatableProject and IVsAggregatableProjectFactory, can I aggregate it with a VC# or a VB project. Can all the commands and functionality from my project be integrated. Hi Geogy, Unfortunately this approach will not work. You cannot cast or retrieve the underlying C++ struct ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GenerateMember always true

  When I try to change the GenerateMember property of any control in a form of my C# Smart Device Application project to false, the member is removed from the Form1.Designer.cs file, but if I reopen the from after and check the property GenerateMember, it's set to true again. More than that, if I try to change the GenerateMember of property of another control in the same form, the member of the other control reappear. This problem make the GenerateMember totally useless. I checked this in a C# Windows Application project and it's working correctly. This is very sad because the GenerateMember property is mostly useful in Compact Framework projects because this save precious memory. Thanks in advance for helping me on this. ...Show All

• Windows Forms TabControl always disturbed by custom control in same project?

  Hi, Using Visual Studio pro 2005, C#. I thought to have discovered a nice IDE feature: Step 1: create a basic windows application. Step 2: add a class to the project. Step 3: have this class derived from System.Windows.Forms.Panel (this is the only manual change you do). The class looks like this: namespace WindowsApplication1 { class Class1 : System.Windows.Forms. Panel { } } That's all. After "Build solution" a new tab appears In the ToolBox called "WindowsApplication1 Components". Great, because now I can drag and drop my on-the-fly control like all other controls. However: Step 4: dragdrop a "Class1" control onto your form (no problem there). Step 5: dragdrop a TabControl onto yo ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to create custom Datagridview ListBox (Multi Row) control

  Hi all, I would like to create the datagridview listbox control. My requirement is that I want multi rows in single cell. So I think I should use Listbox control for that reason. I don't need any editing experiences for that control. I just need to bind it to datasource and display. That's all I want. So I want to know the simplest way. I want to show all the data at once. It means, if I have three rows in one listbox control, for example, "aaa","bbb","ccc". I want to show all. I mean I want to set the Height of that control equal to height of number of rows.  I've already seen the two examples, Up Down numeric and radio button control. But they are more complicated than I need  and different, I think, to my control. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Absolute Path to Namespace Extension GUID Path?

  Does anyone know of a way to convert a string (or PIDL for that matter) corresponding to an absolute path to a string containing a path based off of a namespace extension GUID So instead of storing a path like so.... C:\Documents and Settings\skirk\My Documents\SomeDocument.doc I'd instead store it like so... ::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}\SomeDocument.doc I would really like to be able to store references to GUID paths for all the namespace extensions available to a particular user and not just the user's documents folder.
