• Windows Forms Set my application to be on top!?

  I'm developing a windows application using VS2005 and C#. My application is composed of various modules/projects: 1 is a WIndows Forms executable that contains the main form. All the others are c# class libraries. However, all the class libraries contain windows forms that are instantiated from the main form. Right now I'm having an issue when opening my login form. The process is more or less like this: The Windows Application Executable runs, opens the Main Form and, on the MainForm_Load event I create an instance object of our Security Class Library, which contains the Login Form. After that I basically show the Login Form in a modal way. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Upgrading from a previous version of Foxpro

  I'm currently upgrading an application written using foxpro 3.0 Like the application Paul was rewriting a few threads back, the only thing that doesn't work is the old character screen menu. It had 10 @SAY and 10 @GET commands and a READ. Then it routed execution to .PRG files with a DO CASE ... ENDCASE loop. I am not looking into investing the time to rewrite the existing UI, and would rather just get the old program working as it was. The program itself compiles with no errors, and everything looks fine when the menu is filtered through using the keyboard, but when the mouse cursor goes over one of the selections, all displayed text a ...Show All

• .NET Development How to monitor smtp, pop3 and imap4 traffic on localhost?

  Hi! Can you please advice me how to monitor smtp, pop3 and imap4 traffic on the computer and catch emails The idea is to make an integration to the CRM system so that certain emails are stored to the CRM when sent or received. Do I need to use sockets or are there easier ways of doing this Thanks in advance, Jukka Another possible approach is to write your own proxy.  That is, if all the email is sent/received using an email client, you could do the following: 1) Write a program that listens on ports 25 (smtp) and 110 (pop3) and provides the appropriate functionality per the RFCs. 2) Configu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Find Child Nodes in a TreeView Control

  This will hopefully be a simple question... I have a treeview control (Treeview1) that gets filled programmatically with different numbers of nodes and child nodes. I am trying to find out how many child nodes one particular node has and what the text of these child nodes are. I know the parent node's name is "Drives" and that each of the child nodes under this node will be a drive letter followed by a colon and backslash (such as C:\ or D:\). Is there a way to find how many of these child nodes exist and what their names are I'm not sure if there's an easy way to use Nodes.Find, but it seems to be leading me nowhere. ...Show All
