• Visual Basic How to save active page displayed through I.E.6 under text page.

  Hello, I would like , through Visual Basic 2005 command, save under c:\test.txt an active sheet displayed on the screen through I.E.6 browser. I am working Windows XP . Any support will be welcome ! Thanks for your reply and I think I understand your point. The general idea is the following : To acess an https page and retrieve data from this page. The data are then tranfered to Excel sheet for manipulation. If I understand you, I should do the following using VB+ IE add in and : 1) launch VB 2) acess the http welcome page 3) Insert manualy identifier and password ( this cannot be done automatically as the password should be inserted through virtual keypad on the screen.) 4) ...Show All

• Visual C++ Sending keystrokes to other window

  Hi i have a problem. I want to write a program that would send a keystroke to other window. Do i have to use hooks or there are some other ways. I saw some that uses .Net Framework. Desired OS don't have Net Framework installed. einaros wrote: I've done this a gazillion times, so I'm quite aware of what's involved. Telling the OP that those are the possible paths does help him along, however off topic the question may be. Including a full code sample would be overkill. Yes it is not easy to be sure how much to say. I agree that we want to encourage use of more relevant forums and newsgroups, and I know you know that I do that often. I think it does help however to provide an indication of what is required; my intent is to ex ...Show All

• Gadgets Multilanguage gadgets

  What happens if you make a gadget with two folders, en-US and es-ES, and it is installed on a machine with other configuration, ja-JP for example. Wich configuration it takes en-US, es-ES or doesn't work . In Vista, every language has a 'fallback chain' of other languages that it will try if resources are unavailable in the installed/configured language. Sidebar gadgets also obey this fallback chain. I don't have the fallback chain handy for ja-JP, but I doubt english or spanish is on it. (Usually its stuff like 'american english' might be in the fallback chain for 'canadian english' - where a person might reasonably still understand the fallback language.) The one place gadgets vary from this scheme i ...Show All

• Visual C++ Cannot interrupt a process running with OnKeyDown

  The ESC key works ok, if the application is idle and waiting for a menu command. But I cannot interrupt a procedure with the OnKeyDown function that continuously loops and looks for files (containing String info), formats data and appends records to a MS ACCESS database. I can only use the GetInputState function and a dialog to exit the routine. I use Visual C++ vers. 6 and MFC. This is correct and you can change this only if you use multiple threads! If the operations are in a loop and you want to peek for an escape key you have other choices. http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0297/wicked/wicked0297.aspx And this is my favorite: http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0798/c0798.aspx ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Calling CreateProcessAsUser() from service

  According to some MS documents (e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/vista/services.mspx), it should be possible to use CreateProcessAsUser() API in a Vista service to create a process in user session. I am trying to achive this, but the function returns error code 1307 (ERROR_INVALID_OWNER) = "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object."

• .NET Development Common Question: How can I clean a machine which has the .NET Framework 2.0 or 1.1?

  Since this question seems to be quite common, I will post this sticky thread and will update it periodically as new information becomes available. The following is from Aaron Stebner's WebLog : "Removal tool to fix .NET Framework install failures I wrote an application late last year that is designed to clean up computers that have problems getting the .NET Framework 1.0 or 1.1 to install correctly. I have been working on refining the tool for the past couple of months, working out some bugs, adding additional cleanup features, etc. The .NET Framework setup Product Support team has been using this cleanup tool for the past few months to help resolve many cases, and the internal Microsoft helpdesk has also started using it to ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Acheive fast bevel effect

  I am trying to build a custom button template to emulate the bevel bitmap effect.  I need to do this because the bitmap effect does not use HW acceleration and is very slow.  Using 2 rectangles and a linear gradient on the back rectangle, I can acheive the look I am going for.  The problem is when resizing the button, I need to dynamically change the angle of the gradient.  Here is the button as it looks before being resized.

• SQL Server Cannot connect to 2000 from 2005 via linked server

  Interesting issue.. I think I have 2 linked servers on my dev 2005 instance (sp1-win 2003). My 2005 instance shares the physical server with a 2000 instance. This linked server works fine. The second linked server is on a separate server running sql 2000 sp3. I cannot connect to this server at all. I can connect the other way -- from the 2000 to the 2005. I have tried all kinds of combinations of security and options but nothing works. The only resolutions I have found referenced installing Management Studio on the 2000 server or creating an ODBC connection from the 2005 instance. Any ideas Here is the error I get: OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ALLFLDB6" returned message "Login timeout exp ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to make datagrid components to be used in several classes.

  Hi all I am not sure if this is possible but i have to see. I am not that experienced in c#. Is it possible to create a datagridview, design it and make it a component/class so i can use this datagridview in other classes. I need a datagridview to be displayed several places in my app. The grid has to be the same layout/design, so insted of createing it twice i would like to make it a component/class/template. Possible How do i create and use this Thanks. Hi, well, the easiest thing would be to make a user control, put a DGV on it, set its Dock property to Fill and design it according to your needs. Then expose a property, which will expose the DGV control itself to the outside world, or make existing DGV's modi ...Show All

• Visual C++ In search of the lost Form1.cpp file

  I just tested making a Windows Form in C++/CLI for the first time. I've only used C++/MFC before where (most) functions are declared in a header file and defined in a cpp-file. Not so in a Windows Form class it seems. It seems that all functions in a Windows Form class are supposed to be inline. Is that true Please help me clarify this paradigm shift (if there is one). Thanks I moved some code to handle a button's click event from the .h file to a new .ppc file (and creating just a function declaration in the .h file). However after having done this, If I double-click on the button in the form designer, instead of putting me at the code for the button click event, it just puts me at t ...Show All
