• MattMorg Is Indigo a viable choice in this scenario?

It became as intended when themes/luna.normalcolor.xaml was tried. Moreover, there was an easy mistake, too ...Show All

• SaravananK VS2005 CommandBars Icons

  I am writing an add-in for Visual Studio 2005 and want to create toolbar buttons. I used the documentation to learn how to create the buttons and now have a nice toolbar with a bunch of little smiley faces. Now, the documentation says there are around 3000 icons to use with the commandbars collection instead of the smiley face and it recommends using those icons before attempting to create custom icons.

• Jim Schultz Why is a hidden VSTO document grabbing input focus?

  I use a number of command line tools to manipulate Word Documents with attached VSTO 2005 assemblies via COM Automation. I am having issues with these VSTO documents grabbing input focus, despite running in an invisible Word instance.
