With a Setup project created using Visual Studio .NET 2003 it is easy to add a Desktop shortcut to your application. But creating a shortcut based on a condition is not supported. Also, adding a shortcut in the Quick Launch bar is not supported. This article shows you how you can allow the user to choose whether to add these shortcuts. While developing this solution, I also needed to overcome a limitation with the System.Environment.GetFolderPath method and the System.Environment.SpecialFolder e...

Subclassing is a technique that allows an application to intercept and process messages sent or posted to a particular window before the window has a chance to process them. This is typically done by replacing the Window Procedure for a window with application-defined window procedure. I will devide this article into 3:
1. Subclassing in SDK programs,
2. Subclassing in MFC programs,
3. Reflected messages...

If you use CFrameWnd's LoadBarState()/SaveBarState() to remember the positions of the control bars, you may run into this while developing your app - if you change the bar IDs, or simply remove a bar (it is no longer created in CMainFrame::OnCreate()), your app will crash. Why? Because in the LoadBarState() internals, there is a portion of code which retrieves the bar ID, calls CMainFrame::GetControlBar() and if the pointer returned is NULL (there is no controlbar created with this ID) it will a...

With this library written in VB.NET, you can add a 'Customize Toolbar' function in your application. I needed a customize toolbar function in my application, but I really couldn't find any library for .NET to implement this. So, I decided to write my own, and to share it to help others. In the DLL, there are two functions: ShowCustomizeToolbarWindow and UpdateToolStripWithString. The first function is to load the GUI to customize the window. It returns a string which you can save in your setting...

As a parent, I wanted to set limits on how much time my kids could spend on the family computer. I couldn't find anything simple and free to do this, so I wrote it myself in C#. This application only works if your family has a single shared PC computer where each person has their own account and only parents have "admin" accounts. It should run under Windows 98/XP/Vista with .NET Framework 2.0 or later....

Craigslist is a hugely popular website with free local listings for jobs, housing, and items for sale. Trying to buy something on Craigslist is like a flock of seagulls going after one French fry. If something good gets posted, it might be gone before you get a chance to call. So do you scan new items every morning? What if you miss a day? There are hundreds of new items that get posted each day. I wanted a desktop window that would show me filtered search results from Craigslist and update them...

Most of these enterprise BI solutions provide information from a variety of resources, typically using some form of server-side information integration.

What is this for? Why should I use this software. It's quite simple: you have to build an application with a tree control and you need images for the branches. You have to create a bitmap with all of them and then create the image list, set transparency color, etc. If you have 100 gifs you want to use the problem is big. This program can generate a bitmap with 100 gifs in 2-3 seconds. It also generates the resource script and defines if you want to use this as a toolbar and provides code to inte...

I recently discovered that Windows PowerShell has all the features you need for creating a tiny library that will enable you to write ultralightweight UI automation. In this month's column, I will show you how to create a small collection of custom Windows PowerShell cmdlets that perform Windows® UI automation tasks. These include obtaining handles to applications and c...

This article shows how to add a floating/docking toolbar to a dialog. In MSDN, there is a sample (dlgcbr32) in which is presented a way to add a fixed toolbar to a dialog. I have extended that example and created a CDialog derived class that contains a toolbar which can be either fixed, floating or hidden. The floating toolbar effect is obtained by dynamically creating a modeless dialog box which contains a fixed toolbar....
