• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Simulate Keyboard Message

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Controlling Popup Menu in Word doc

  I've been following the code walkthrough Creating Shortcut Menus for Bookmarks. This works great. Now, after I initially show the popup menu on the right-click, I want it to stay put (or continue to pop back up again, if that's the way to go about it) allowing the user to click on more than one item in the menu.  Only when the user clicks away from the popup menu (i.e., outside the bookmark), would I like it to go away. I know this is not the default behavior of the popup but I really want to make it work this way. I tried controlling this in the ButtonClick event of the CommandBarButton control, but after the initial event is ...Show All

• Visual C# Can this be done?

  My question is: how do I change the color of a progress bar By color I mean that intense green used to draw the blocks of the bar. I found a property in .NET Framework 1.1 called ProgressBarColor that is supposed to do that, but I did not find it in .NET 2.0. Did the programmers overlook it on purpose or by mistake Many thanks Michel, I think I got it. I suspected from the beginning that the effort was not worth it, but I just wanted to ask if any1 know a shortcut. Anyways, your ideea with text clipping is not that hard to implement. Think I'll try it one of these days. I wonder if just 1 pixel will b ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Windows Mobile 5 Outlook 2002 contact storage location

  I am having a problem with syncronizing my contacts with ACT! the pim.vol is taking up too much memory and I cannot move it to storage. I can only get around 4000 contacts to sync. My old Palm would sync all 9600 contacts. Is there a way to keep from running out of memory by moving the pim.vol file I've found the same problem! I've moved from a O2 xdaIIi WM2003 to a T-Mobile MDA-Pro running WM5. My synchronised pim.vol file is 10Mb, and it renders the MDA-Pro useless due to low memory with attendant hangs, crashes and error messages. This problem didn't exist on WM2003, so the "upgrade" to WM5 has ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Installation Questions

  This may be a stupid question. I don't have a broadband connection and I'm planning to download VC++ Express in my friend's computer as an ISO (.IMG) image file as advised by the download page. Transfer the file to my computer and extract via ISO Buster. My concern is if it is indeed possible to install the program in another computer (not the one that downloaded it) and register it under my name Or maybe MS only allows installation to the computer that downloaded the file. Nothing is mentioned in the website. Cheers! ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView and ContextMenuStrip

  Hello all, 2 questions about using ContextMenuStrip in conjunction with DataGridView: 1. How can I get a ContextMenuStrip to open only if the user right-clicks on a cell, and not a cell header/row header/background/etc My current solution is to associated the CMS with the columns, and not the DataGridView, i.e.: datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip=Nothing For Each c As DataGridViewColumn In datagridview1.Columns c.ContextMenuStrip = dgvContextMenu Next Is there a better way 2. How can code handling a click event on the CMS determine what cell the cursor was over when the context menu was activated I have a partly-working solution, which ...Show All

• SQL Server Not in correct state to become principal

  I am using asynchronous mirroring. When I try to failover on the mirror server using “alter database xxx set partner force_service_allow_data_loss” (having disconnected the primary server from the network) it sometimes fails to failover (it reports that the database is not in the correct state to failover). I can re-connect the primary server, get them sync’d again, then unplug the primary and it will failover ok. Any ideas... or is this just an issue that will be fixed in the next SP Have you tried 1) shutting down the principal server 2) stopping the principal instance Does the force_servi ...Show All
