• Software Development for Windows Vista DrawThemeBackground and Glass

  I have a custom window class that supports tool windows that have a slightly smaller caption than the standard tool window class (similar to Photoshop). When theming is available, it uses the DrawThemeBackground API to paint the caption area and min/max/close buttons. My app is getting glass O.K. in all other windows, yet DrawThemeBackground is displaying an opaque caption area and plain ol' buttons. I'm guessing I need to do something more. I watched Jeff's presentation ("Great looking apps...") several times. I don't know if DWM is the answer to getting glass in my custom captions, but it did prompt me to seek out more informa ...Show All

• Visual Basic Control codes - how to type them into a programme

  Here I am struggling to get my PC to talk to an electronic sign board (junk from an old callcentre that will now do service as a score board at the school I teach at). Background: I am able to have the sign working using it's own software, so it does function. Unfortunately this is a SCO UNIX box that runs a mass of other things, with the sign being a miniscule part of the functions. This footpring is too big! Problem: I have the protocol for initialising it, and was able to capture some of the control codes via hyperterminal. The code I captured is <Esc>, also known as hex 1B or 0x1b. the captured character looks like a le ...Show All

• SQL Server Using AMO to manipulate cube calculations

  We have a cube with a bunch of calculated measures that were defined using BI Studio. I'm now looking at using AMO to manipulate the calculations (enumerate, modify, add, remove, etc). But what I see in the AMO object model is one MdxScript object with one Command object. That Command object has one very large Text property, with all of the calculated measure definitions munged together in one giant string. Not too easy to manipulate programmatically. Is there anything that I can do to make this easier to deal with Or is this just the nature of the beast with calculations, and I need to munge around in the giant script Is there some best pra ...Show All
