• Windows Forms Which event is fired if user clicks outside of modal dialog?

  Can I attach to it Thanks Peter Were you able to figure this out   One method is to catch the click event and to determine where the click occurred vs. the region of the form itself.  There are other ways as well, interested to hear what you used. Josh ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding Index of Custom Object Collection to ValueMember of ComboBox

  I have a custom collection called Profiles which contains a collection of custom objects of type Profile.  When I am databinding to a combobox, I would like to bind the ValueMember to the Index of the object within the collection.  That way I can determine the index of the selected object. this.cboProfiles.DataSource = profiles; this.cboProfiles.DisplayMember = "Name"; this.cboProfiles.ValueMember = "Index"; <-- Something like this... but "Index" does not work... So again, how do I bind to the Index of the Custom Object Collection Thanks! Bob The issue I have is that I do not want to store t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using timers in vc++ via SetTimer and OnTimer

  hi . i am using SetTimer(...) combined with OnTimer(...) in my code to call 2 different methods on 2 different timers. Here's a simplified version of my code to make things clear: SetTimer(1, 100, NULL); SetTimer(2, 40, NULL); ... void CMTDlg::OnTimer(UINT nTimerID) { if (nTimerID == 1) { //capture an image from the webcam and save it in the 'img' folder } if (nTimerID == 2) { //some processing } } Now, my assumed working of the code was this: After 100 ms timer1 gets fired, OnTimer is called, and an image is saved in the img folder. This repeats every 100 ms. Mea ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Plans for Windows Mobile Pocket/PC?

  Does Microsoft yet know their plans for Windows Mobile/PocketPC (.NET Compact Framework) for WCF The current netcf distribution doesn't contain non-soap/non-ws support (e.g. binary/tcp remoting), I'm wondering what kind of functionality we might be able to look forward to on a netcf version of WCF. Thanks! Yes, it would be nice to have a stripped-down version of WCF (like WPF will have WPF/E). What you can do right now is to use MSMQ integration binding because MSMQ is supported in .NET CF 2.0. I have tested it and it works (see a previous thread in this forum "Integration with MSMQ on .NET Compact Framework 2.0"). ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is it possible to hook WWF with Monad shell, basically call cmdlets in monad from WWF?

  Hi I am currently building/automating one of our internal process using Monad and it would be really really really cool if I can use WWF along with it so basically call cmdlets/cmd in monad via WWF, basically control the cmd to be executed in MSH via WWF. I haven't seen any e.g. of these and first of all if it is possible to do something like this. Please advice rahul Monad does allow its runtime to be hosted inside applications, and hence can run cmdlets inside different hosts. Calling a single cmd/cmdlets from within a WWF activity is doable, but the piplelining of data across cmdlets is totally owne ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS .net and SQL database question.

  I am trying to develop a VS.net application using VS 2005 Pro that connects to a SQL database, so that the user can update the information in the tables. Sounds easy enough. The SQL database is on a SQL 2000 server. My problem is, I can get the update method on a form to work using the Northwind database. However, when I try to build a TableAdapter to one of my SQL databases, the TableAdapter wizard will not generate a UPDATE statement or a DELETE statement. And thus the update method on the form gives a error when called. I think it is a SQL security issue. Does anyone have any ideas Thanks Weston T ...Show All
