• Windows Forms Help in accessing Parent form controls...

  Hi All, I am relatively new to C# and amtrying the following. Please send accross your suggestions and ideas even if you don't know the solution. I had developed an MDi application in C# where in there is a menu and a toolbar with the desired buttons and options. I wanted to create a certain user-control using which, I could manipulate the other controls on the form. The reason was that I had to hard code the logic of "saveButton.enable" and "cancelButton.enable" whenever "newButton.clicked()". I hope you all get the point. My objective was 1. to make a control (usercontrol), 2. paste it on the desired parent form; 3. edit that controls ...Show All

• .NET Development Capabilities of Visual Basic 2005 Express

  I would like to eventually learn to write programs that control windows functions such as in this example: Create a program that can change the icon of all the folders in a chosen directory, by selecting an .ico file to asign to a group of folders and apply them to all folders in the directory at once. Can anyone tell me if the express edition will be able to make this possable Thanks Customizing a folder's icon is done by creating a file called Desktop.ini in the folder.

• Windows Forms Issue with designer not recognizing concrete overridden method returns

  I am currently building an application framework.  There is a base form and a strip builder form that inherits from it to build tool, menu and status strips as needed.  A concrete form then inherits from the strip builder form.  This architecture uses MVP and the presenters are "set" in an overridden "hook" method as follows: private AbstractPresenter _presenterDelegate; public FW_BaseForm() {    HookBeforeInitialize();    InitializeComponent();    HookAfterInitialize(); } protected virtual void HookBeforeInitialize() {    SetPresenter(G ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS / web search result integration?

  Hello! Is there any way to integrate results from WDS searches with results from, say, MSN/Google web search providers in such a way that the "Windows Desktop Search Results" window as a single UI shows all the results together For example, the Google Desktop presents the user with an overview that shows the desktop result count above of the results from the ordinary web search (would maybe be nicer if it showed the exact desktop matches instead of the aggregated form...). Is it possible to do something similar using WDS Like that all the local search hits are presented together with the hits from a web search in a uniform ma ...Show All

• .NET Development card layout in .NET

  I want to create a GUI which consist of three different pages. Only one page should be visible at the same time. In Java there is a special layout manager handling this case (CardLayout), is there something similar in .NET, or how should I go about solving this    I have done a similar project and to force the order you would need to control the visibility of the panels. This does become a complex task when overlapping panels in the form.     What I did to solve this was record the panel dimensions. Shrink the panel on the y-axis so that the form background is displayed. Th ...Show All

I would appreciate any ideas Unless you are modi ...Show All

The DX documentation talks about all the steps of usage on an abstract level, but I need an explicit step-by-step example (I am very dense). Can anyone help out Any examples would be appreciated. But specifically I'm looking to do something as simple as taking the "tiny.x" sample and generating a new UVAtlas for it. Thanks much!  Thanks, Ross.  I'll see what kind of trouble I can get into with that... ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Launching nested cabs Windows Mobile 5.0

  My main installation cab contains a nested cab file. After it is extracted by wceload, I launch the nested cab in the install_exit routine of the main setup.dll. (I do this by calling ShellExecuteEx with the fully-qualified name of the nested cab file as the file to be launched.) I use EVC3 tools to build everything, because I want it to run on older versions of Windows Mobile Pocket PC. It all works fine on versions before Mobile 5.0. On Mobile 5.0, the call to ShellExecuteEx returns immediately, indicating that it successfully started the (wceload) process, but nothing is actually launched. I can use the same command in Mobile 5.0 to launc ...Show All
