  I have created a program that I plan on disbursing to other people, on this program, I have added a simple form with support info. I would like the text to be a hyperlink for a website and email. Any suggestions thanks Hi guys, VBA is not the same and VB.NET. The System.Diagnostic.Process object isn't in VBA and unfortunately neither is the link label control. If you want to have a link in a form in one of the Office applications then you need to fool the user by having a normal label control with blue underlined text that when clicked opens the site. You can use the shell command to open your web site. You but this in the label OnClick event. Shell "explorer http://www.yahoo.com ", vbNormalFocus Unfort ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Embedded Images

  I know this is probably a very bad way of doing things but I've been forced down a certain path. I have a lot (read: loads!) of embedded images, is there a way to dynamically refer to them For example, at tht moment I can chuck loads of these into a select case statement: objImage = My.Resources.screen_1 objImage = My.Resources.screen_2 ... Ideally though, I'd like to be able to construct the My.Resources bit myself, so the number at the end can be generated seperately. Is this possible You could store the resource bitmap references in an array at startup. Retrieving them later is now a simple array index. For example: Public Class Form1 Private Const SCREENS As Integer = 3 Private mScreens() As Bit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio Displays red X over the document folder in Team Explorer

  We have a team project where they want to create a Document Library in Sharpoint that only some project members has access to. To achieve this they selected to Modify Settings and Columns | Change Permissions for this Document Library. They then removed all the cross site groups from the list and added the individual users that should have access. This worked perfectly in Sharepoint but the users that didn’t have access got a red X over the entire Document Folder in Team Explorer and can’t access any of the folders under Documents using Team Explorer. Is this a known behaviour Are there any other way of achieving the result we wanted to have with a private folder. Any input appreciated. Regards, Christian ...Show All

• Visual Studio Dynamic help

  Hi, I have Visual Studio.Net 2003 with service pack 1 installed on a laptop. MSDN is installed on the machine but whenever I try to get help it asks for the relevant MSDN CD. How do I get MSDN to register correctly with Visual Studio Many thanks Ray Hi Ray, Apologies for the late response. From your description, it looks like only a Minimal install of the MSDN Library was done on your laptop. You need to do a Custom or Complete install, and you'll also need the MSDN Library CD/DVD to accomplish this. I'm using the latest MSDN December 2006 Library DVD for VS2005, and if I remember, the setup format is pretty much the same as for the VS2003 versions. Insert the MSDN Library CD/DVD in ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to refresh the window in this case?

  hi, all I have a question about window refresh. The situation is, I need to hide the whole window. But it might show up some error message box if I need to. The problem is, after user clicks on Yes or No, the message box won't go away. The code is like this: SomeForm myForm = new SomeForm(); Application.Run(MyForm); SomeForm:OnLoad() { this.Visible = false; bool bValid = ValidateData(); if(!bValid) { DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show(xxxxxx, do you want to continue); if(dr == DialogResult.Yes) { /// Here, do other work. /// At this point, the MessageBox is still there, won't go away. /// I think the reason is, there is no client area to refresh since the this.visible is false.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to work with Excel Rows and Cells?

  Hello, I am new to VSTO and VS 2005. I have a challenge to develop a prototype of an Excel sheet which will allow my testers to create test cases using some inputs from external source like a XML file or a VBScript. Scenario is like this: I need to develop an Excel sheet which connects to a XML file and some script file. It parses these files and loads some values in a TreeView control. I did this using UserControl and displaying this in TaskPane. Then I created Range to hold the value selected in TreeView. However, when I select a value from TreeView, it is copied in all the cells of defined range. I want to control this. I want to copy the value in selected cell and row or the cell which is active in defined Range. ‘Environm ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. No news about XNA 2?

  It has been a long time (feeling instead of real time) since XNA 1 released. I've been waiting for news about the next big thing. But it seems it's rather quite; no early info is out. What will be the next exciting things I can only guess... 1) Maybe it's an XNA Game Studio Professional which works with VS Pro version. But I'd rather like an XNA SDK to work with any IDE. 2) Maybe it's great enhancement to the framework. Many more D3DX stuff come into XNA, lifting XNA to the same level as MDX/native DX in functionality. Hmm...I hope the functionalities are not dropped just because they're not supported on XBox. qrli wrote: It has been a long time (feeling instead of real time) since XNA 1 released. I ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Register and unregister DLL

  My C++ smartphone app automatically registers (ala regsvr on your desktop) at deployment because in the project's properties configuration page for deployment I have "Register Output" set to yes. What executible is this calling to register the dll I cannot find regsvr.exe or regsvrce.exe or wm5_regsvr.exe or any other variant on my phone. The reason I want to find it is I want to unregister the dll to clean things up (kind of like a clean deploy). I am using a Motorola Q, if it matters. Thanks, Ed I looked around the WM5 SP SDK and did not find such a tool, so you may have to write a reg/unreg tool. I routinely use the code snippets on that article to register / unregister DLLs from within an application which ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Roll back to a file version / Delete an unwanted checked in.

  Hi After checked in some files to TFS, I am lookin at one file history and would like to roll back to one of them, I was looking for 2-3 options: 1. Delete the unwanted revision and in this method rooling back to previous revision. 2. Merge from history revision to top of trunk and getting back a version from history to top of trunk (with full tracking - the best way in my opinion) 3. Rool back to a revision - move the selected revision to the top of trunk or any other solution. What are TFS options to do that Thanks, Rolling back a change that's not the latest is going to be complicated regardless of whether TFS adds a specific feature for it. As the original poster notes, it will require a 3-way merge. Let's say the file history l ...Show All
