• Visual C++ Smartbridge Alerts

  I too am receiving the "entry point not found" message. I have very little technical knowledge and would appreciate assistance in any fashion. thanks. Helen McLaughlin   Ok, I think I got it solved here. Here's what I found. After searching my system for files with PSAPI.dll in the name, it returned 4 files that were Verizon Online references and one of them had a subheading of SmartBridge. All 4 were an older date than my system/32 PSAPI.dll file. I renamed those 4 as PSAPIOLD.dll. Since each had different subheading names there were no conflicts. I restarted my system and the error message had departed. Hope this helps. Bob S. (viobass)   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Add-In -> Works = My Computer, Doesn't work on others

  I made an add in for Outlook. After adding a custom install class that I found there: http://weblogs.asp.net/mnissen/articles/427490.aspx It finally worked on my computer when I used the msi to install it (it wasn't working without that class) but now, I tried to deploy it on other computers (Co-Workers machines at the moment), it doesn't work and their configuration doesn't seem to be different than mine and they have the requirements I found here http://weblogs.asp.net/mnissen/articles/427504.aspx  under Prerequisites (The CSA should be dealt with by the custom install class).

• Visual Basic Create a class that disables specific controls

  Hi guys, I am considering creating a class that disables certain controls on my form when it loads. Opposed to setting each 'enabled' property to false, i think a class that executes when the form does, is the most efficient. Am i right, is this efficient If so, how exactly would i go about coding it Many thanks in anticipation for your help. Kyle Well it depends upon what your overall objective is...If it is to just disable controls on load of a form then you can do that in the designer or you can do it in the load event of the form. kitsch wrote: Opposed to setting each 'enabled' property to false What method would your class use to disable the controls ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums clickable polyline/polygon

  We can use pushin to create a clickable point to display information, what about clickable polylines and polygons For example, there is a street closed due to pipe line break, or new construction cause 2 miles of interstate highway closed, etc. I want to be able to do similar things with those lines, for example, hover or click on the line, and get information popup window, like those push pins. I know you can not attach events to a line for now, what about future versions I want to know if this can be done in client side, not capture the clicked point and send an AJAX request to a server performing spatial query on that location. Thanks a lot, Yup, that's MUCH better, and that's what I'd like to do. But ...Show All

• Visual Basic Suppressing events such as text change

  how do i or can i suppress events such as text changed. cos i want to set text in code and hence so not need it to be validated and stuff   Hi, You could use the tag property of the textbox to hold a string value as the default value.

• .NET Development Microsoft Excel 2003 interop + COM object releasing

  G'day, I recieved an unusual error message from a VB.net 2005 application that automates excel and wanted to confirm the correct way to shut down excel automation components. The user got a new PC the other day and started to get the following error messages.

• .NET Development Executing a method in a given thread context

  I'm porting win32 code (non visual component or "user control") to .NET. In win32 code, I was using Windows messages between threads to signal events form a worker thread to another thread. This was done to make sure an event handler was executed in the context of the thread having created an instance of the component class. The [non visual] component class use a hidden window to receive the messages from the worker thread it created. Now I'm porting this code to .NET using C# as language. I'm using the socket class and use the asynchronous operation, for example, Socket.BeginAccept to make the runtime use a thread to wait for incomming connections and call my callback function when a connection is available.

Pais Principal Privado But i only need Cube: Censo Perspectives: Depto Pais Thanks for the example, now I understand what your are after. :) Unfortunately I don't think you can have more than one CUBE_NAME element in your restriction list.
