• Smart Device Development What is the order in which the operations from a .inf file is done when installing?

  What is the order in which the sections of the .inf file executed when a .CAB file is tapped on a windows mobile 5.0. Also, Is there a way in which I can set a registry setting to ON when entering the installation and set to OFF when exiting the installation. Sections of INF are not "executed", they are specifying CAB file structure (set of files and registry settings). Thus there's no "order of execution" for sections in INF file. You can do custom registry manipulations from unmanaged setup DLL. It has 4 entry points which would be indeed executed in specific order. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Deploy hell

• .NET Development VB.NET 2.0 - DataGridView Selection - how to eliminate?

  Hello, I am displaying a datagridview that is refreshed as records are added, etc from a different portion of the screen; how can I disable the selection so that the user cannot select any item on the grid, thus changing it's color Thanks! Jim Josh, I have set the readonly property to true; but when the grid is displayed the first row is always selected (or if I change the selection property to cell, the first cell is selected).  I don't see an option for Selection = none. I don't want the row to be colored in the blue; and thought there has to be a way to disable the selection of either rows, columns o ...Show All

• Windows Forms use singleton pattern

  Hi, This may be a simple question for some but I'm not entirely sure how to approach it. I would like two Forms to communicate in real time, you have Form1 which has a Timer, each Tick it updates (just to put it simple) a Label with the number of ticks the timer has done. I want, say, Form 2, which has already been created and shown, to update with the value of the label in Form 1 every time this label changes value. The only way I know of passing a value from one form to another is through the constructor, but I do not want to create a new form each time the label updates. My guess is that this is done with threads but I'm not v ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB Express - Debugging is very slow.

  I just installed the new release of Visual Basic Express.  Before installing, I removed all the Beta products and verified using the removal tool.  I then ran a registry cleaner to get rid of left over references.  I have turned on "terminal services" which got rid of the "binding error" some have mentioned.  Unfortunately, now when running my application under debug, it just hangs with a half drawn form.  It seems to compile and I can run the exe outside of the IDE.  I have searched the forum and seen similar problems, but none of the suggested fixes have helped.  Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual C++ how to stop an application like a messagebox does

  hi there! i hope this is the right place for this post. i have the following problem: i am writing an adobe acrobat plugin in c++ with the visual studio.net 2003. i have another application with which i send data per mailslot to my plugin. the plugin displays a messagebox which is to be clicked when data is sent from the other application. if i try to implement the plugin without the messagebox the acrobat hangs because the plugin looks permanently for new data coming through the mailslot. so i used a sleep() command to let it check every second for new data but it happens the same as before without the messagebox, the acrobat hangs. so ...Show All
