• Visual C++ How do you install CRT, ATL80.dll, MFC80u.dll applocal?

  When we look at other installation options than side-by-side installations, we consider "applocal" installations. Unfortunately we cannot use side-by-side installation since it prevents “Per User” installations in Windows Installer. (See http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbackid=552c704c-75ba-4cb1-8bf3-0c1d6d50d5a2 ) A drawback with applocal installations is that fixes issued by Microsoft to components such as MFC80u.dll will not automatically applied. On WinXP I suppose MS can do this by using policies. I found a KB article where this is discussed: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;e ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I get my app to fetch more than one page from a WIA scanner with an ADF?

  Hi, I've searched, Google, the FAQ, Knowledge Base and Forums and am getting conflicting answers. A general search on MSDN for "WIA" and "ADF" provides an article that claims to show how to get a C++ program to use an ADF via WIA (but as I don't know any C++ it means very little to me). However, a Knowledge Base article suggests that WIA cannot access more than one page from an ADF. Anyway, I have a piece of code; wiaItem = ( ItemClass ) Marshal .CreateWrapperOfType(wiaRoot.Children[0], typeof ( ItemClass )); imagePath = @"C:\temp\Scan" + pageNo.ToString() + timeStamp + ".bmp" ; w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB + SQL server vs Access

  I am very new to programming etc so I may be misunderstanding the situation, but my question is this: VB.Net Express is a programming language which comes with database functionality via SQL Server Express, whereas Access is a Database which is programmable via VBA. So, if one is developing a (fairly simple) database based application what are the pros and cons of using one set of software tools versus the other Thanks for any insights. Eric It really depends on your field of expertise. Personally, I'd crank out something faster using C# and SQL Server, because that's what I do. But, Access is definately e ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Lack of mouse scroll wheel support in VBA

  Folks The mouse scroll wheel does not work in VBA.   This has always puzzled me as to why this support does not exist since Office 2000. This problem was originally caused by a MS Mouse driver change that I'm told was communicated long in advance to other MS folks. This problem has existed for several versions of Office.  As far as I'm concerned this should've been fixed in the Office SPs. And yes, I'm quite aware of the workarounds VBScroll and Freewheel. Tony I agree with Tony. This is something that ought to be fixed. In fact it ought to have been fixed some time ago. I hope that whoever is responsible for fixing th ...Show All
