• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Disable "Unprotect Document" in Tools Menu Item

  Is it possible to disable "Unprotect Document" in Tools Menu Item in MS Word using VBA We are accessing and modifying documents in Java using JACOB. If the document is protected we are unprotecting the document and doing modifications. But if the document is protected using a password there is no way we can provide the password programatically as each document could have different passwords. So if it is possible to disable the "Unprotect Document" menu using VBA then the menu can be disabled and the document protected without password. This way the document can be accessed and modified only programatically and not by the ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I get the dimensions of the TRUE Drawable area of a form?

  I am writing a DirectX app that uses windows form menus and controls. I want to get the TRUE drawable area of a form excluding menus and things like panels and other controls like that that cannot be drawn on.. I know about the Form.ClientSize property but that does not take into account any menus/status bars within the form. Only the size of the window minus the borders. I thought it wasn't possible for the Form to directly know its drawable area without manually calculating it until I started using the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events. These events trigger when the mouse leave the TRUE drawable area (eg if my mouse goes over them men ...Show All

• SQL Server Loading data in SQL Mobile 2005 from the server side and not on the handheld

  Hello, We are in need of some help around the use of SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition. The problem comes in when we have to import a large list of equipment ID’s into the database. The way that things work today is that the database only runs on the handheld computer, so we are having to process a large amount of data on the handheld therefore taking a lot of time. If there were a way to have a “seed” database on the server side (running on Windows Server 2003 or similar) and import all of this data on the server side it would be more efficient and require less time. Once the data was imported on the server side we can simply transfer ...Show All

  Hi! Normally, my combo box is non-editable and has items in it.  However, when I don't have any items, I want to offer a "< New >" option, which users would select, then they'd type in the name in the combo box, and a new option would be selected. So, here's what I tried: private void ClientComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged( object sender, System.EventArgs e)         {             // Are we trying to create a new one             if ( ((System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox)sender).SelectedItem.ToString() == "< New ...Show All
