• Internet Explorer Development IE 7 - scrolling jumps

  Is there a default setting I can change in IE7 that will stop the jumping when I try to scroll using a mouse wheel It's almost as bad as what I see when I'm connected remotely to another machine. Thanks, R. Hill Thanks for the reply. I found a solution from a google forum that solved the problem for me: Start. Control Panel. Mouse. Choose the Buttons tab. For "Scroller", set to the following: Check the box labeled "Use MS Office compatible scroll only." Also, check the box labeled "Scroll in active window only." Works fine after making those changes. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Parameter Select Question Problem

• Windows Forms Problem with application manifest

  Hi, I have a problem building the setup project for my Outlook add-in. I have confirmed that my published add-in is updated when I manually add a reference to the deployment manifest within the application manifest. Unfortunately, whenever the stinking setup project is built it overrides my application manifest and the installed version no longer contains a reference to the deployment manifest. Ideally, I would like the application manifest to add a reference to the deployment manifest when it is built, but even if I could add the manually edited version into the installer that would be sufficient. Any ideas I think this automatic update feature is a pretty good idea, but getting it to work with the security policies, registry settings an ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to capture screenshot of windows forms controls even if they are not visible?

  Like in the subject, how can i save screenshots of windows forms controls, even if they are not visible For example if the control is in an application that is in the taskbar or if the form is hidden And what about if the control has a scroll bar and I want the screenshot fo the whole control area Thanks in advance for your help As counter-intuitive this sounds, it is actually possible. Put two buttons and a picturebox on the form, make the second button invisible. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Button2.Width, Button2.Height, Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb) Button2.DrawToBitma ...Show All

• Visual Basic Auto Append and semi complete Form

  I open a form with a Tableadapter to which I have created a query based on a field on the form which I populate from the previous opening form. This displays the results of a query which shows header records and a Datagrid view of the linked many transactions. (Like a simple Invoice Header and Transaction lines details tables) What I would like to happen, is that when no data is returned by the query, the form automatically appends a new record and fills in certain information (ie the Account) which is already known. This would be done in the onLoad event, but I do not seem to get the data to 'autofill' Any help or direction to look in would be appreciated. The MSDN help just seems to lead me round in circles (although I may ju ...Show All

• SQL Server restore from a differential backup

  I create a full backup followed by daily differential backup, when I restore database from the fifth or later differential item, I get the following Error Message: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: This differential backup cannot be restored because the database has not been restored to the earlier state. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) It seems that there is an error when the fifth differential backup occurred, It's a disaster, how can I do, help! My guess is that there was a full backup between the fourth and fifth differential backups. A differential backup can only be applied to the most recent full taken before that differential. ...Show All
