• .NET Development Listening to .NET events using COM interop.

  Hi all, I'm looking to embed a .NET component in a COM application (Delphi with VCL). To produce a proof of concept, I've created a new class library and exposed it to COM, created a class which is COM visible and allows COM clients to send a message (call a method) and register for events. This all works fine, the COM clients (I've done one test bed in VB6 and one in Delphi) can create my object, call a method on it and respond to the event. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagridview Performance "Work around"

  I thought I'd share this with others that may have found a performance issue with displaying data in Datagridviews that have a lot of columns. (I have about 100). I was finding that initially displaying the form it would take 3 or so seconds to display 10 rows of data. What I have done now is to initially make all columns that are not initially displayed to invisible and then as soon as the user clicks the grid or the scroll bar to make the othe ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development How do I play samples?

  I am unable to play the samples (included in the HD Jumpstart download) with the emulator. I've tried using both open disc and open path to launch the DAT file. When I use open disc is says unable to parse/read the DAT file. When I use open path I get no message, but the emulator screen resizes slightly and stays blank. For Open Disc you probably need to select one level up ie the directory above ADV_OBJ. For the blank screen, run DXDi ...Show All

• Visual Basic MenuStrip shortcuts

  Hi, I have a normal form with a menustrip docked at the top and also a richtextbox. The problem is whenever the richtextbox is in focus, some of the menustrip shortcuts don't work (Ctrl+R for example). The richttextbox seems to be "stealing" certain key events so the menustrip doesn't process them. Could someone please tell me how to correct this. Thanks, Alex Alright, so if I override it in the form but ...Show All

• Windows Forms List<ListRow> + ICustomTypeDescriptor + Data Grid View Problem

  Ok, so I've been working on a problem that I think every developer faces when using business objects. You often need to create grid data of a specific set of fields (i.e. in the case of a combo box, the ID and the Name field) and bind controls to it.  In a pure 3 tier achetecture, you don't want to have any database code at all in the GUI tier.  And of course you don't want to have to make a special business object for every permutatio ...Show All
