• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) turn tooltip visible

  How can I turn a tooltip visible (forced). If I use IsOpen = true, then it stays there forever. What I actually want to do is: if the mouse is hovering over the control, and I need to display some info to the user in a tooltip, then I want the tooltip to show. Currently, if I am hovering, and I change the tooltip property to Visible, it doesn't also show it. Any ideas Off the top of my head (read: didn't try this), can you not bind IsOpen of the tooltip to IsMouseOver of your element This assumes that your ToolTip is 1:1 per element.

• Visual Basic Problems with ODBC32.dll - cant get a handle for a connection

  Hi folks,  I am trying to get - for example - a list of available Data Sources on my PC.  I had it working when I was using the SQLAllocEnv function followed by SQLDataSources but as I researched further, everything that I read says I should be using SQLAllocHandle, which was introduced with ODBC version 3, instead of SQLAllocEnv.  I'm pretty sure I have ODBC 3.5 or so.  When I do use SQLAllocHandle function - I seem to get a handle to the environment - but then when I feed the environment handle back into the SQLDataSources function, it no longer returns any Data Sources.  The only thing I can come up wit ...Show All

• Smart Device Development run program automatically when cradled

  Is there a way to automatically run a program when a user cradles/sync's I've found two solutions that seem like they should work, each with a shortcoming. They both use CERunAppAtEvent: 1) NOTIFICATION_EVENT_SYNC_END - This kind of works, but you have to connect the device to the cradle (sync), then manually sync to get it to fire the event. 2)NOTIFICATION_EVENT_NET_CONNECT - This is the most promising event, however according to the microsoft site, it is not supported, just defined. Cute, huh Anybody else have any other ideas ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom controls Docs

  Hi, Where can I find docs about creating custom controls I mean, I need the reference that says how to interact with the object inspector and the form layout. Create that arrow on the right top corner of the control, and others... This is the basic and everything is derived from this. If you need something more advanced, just ask. about the icon, the best way is to create a 16X16 bitmap and give it the full namespace name: MyNameSpace.UserControl1.BMP. add it to the project, set its properties BuildAction to Embedded resource. on the user control header: [ ToolboxItem ( true ), ToolboxBitmap (MyNameSpace.User ...Show All
