Right Click Using Divil's outlookbar, How would obtain the button which has been clicked using right click? Thanks in advance gs

The Final carrying on the theme of posting and replying to myself I have completed the combining of MSDE with my Application. Also have sussed out the SA password and managed to find code to switch the service on if its switched off and how to attach .mdf and .ldf files so my app has a working database. So if anyone down the line needs this info save yourself about a week of trawling microsofts pretty uselessly organised Knowledge base and email me and I will have you up and running in about an hour. :D regards gs

C++ Failing Update: The instructions from the powerpoint are pretty easy to follow and obtaining ORCA was quite straight forward. Unfortunately, following on with the SA password dilemma, they suggest you produce a .dll that gets called from within the .msi during setup and creates the necessary password to continue. Unfortunately I have zero experience with C++ and cannot make this bit work. If anyone can assist in creating a .dll that will work with ORCA/MSI in VB or can help with producing the C++ version (I have the source code) I'd be more than greatful and also will post a summary of how to do this task for others. Thanks in advance gs

A possible solution I managed to find a Power Point presentation of a webcast that Microsoft made detailing exactly what I need to do. (Result) Just for the record the link to the .ppt (WC052903.ppt) can be found on the page:- http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;817788 If for any reason microsoft move or this page cannot be found email me through the forum and ill mail the ppt back. gs

Hi there, I have trawled the MSDN site and this forum for answers but its a bit sketchy. I would like to know how to succesfully incorporate the MSDE into my new application's Blue screen setup. I have read the Microsoft pages related and most of it makes sense. I downloaded the SDK. Installed ORCA and began playing with a copy of myProgramme.msi Starting to add the .msm's at item 1 it threw up many errors and warnings. I know that once you merge the MSM's you need to configure the default settings for MSDE installation (SA account etc). Is there anyone who has done this? If so can you reply with explaining:- [1] how you solved the conflicts in ORCA when adding msm's. [2] What msm's are needed and any that can be not included [3] When the msi image is complete, what and where do u configure the ini strings for the MSDE install (SA account,password) [4] Anything else a relatively newcomer needs to know about in this area. I have been programming for more than 6 years but this environment is not only new to me but very confusing and pretty un explained. Thanks in advance gs

What im ultimately trying to do is drag and drop from a combo box to another control. Just looking at the way its already done there are two distinct ways to do it. By highlighting and dragging the text but the combobox doesnt have ItemDrag as far as I know and not sure how they manage to do that. The other way is by dragging the icon that is in the combo box which I probably could get away with and I'm hoping that by adding an icon it exposes ItemDrag (possibly by adding an object to the combo box). If anyone has any ideas on how I can achieve drag and drop from a combo box Id be happy to hear. gs

Hi there, Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to place images (icons) in a combo box similar to Internet Explorer or windows explorer. Have checked MSDN, The FAQ and searched this forum all drawing blanks. Example code would be nice but just a clue as to where I can find information on this would be sufficient. Thanks in advance gs

tehon3299 said.... "Why do I keep getting an ArgumentOutOfRange Exception? I am using: ...." I kept getting the same so tried a few things and finally found that ListView1_MouseUp works better and always returns the selected item. ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged seems to error if you select one item then select another. I guess when you click another item, it has changed but nothing is selected until your mouse click is up. Drove me mad I know this thread is old but this tip may save one person from wasting time because they were using the wrong code. gs

Thanks for sharing this code but what I cant get it to do is move the children to the remaining parents. How did you manage to do that?? Thanks in advance gs

Thanks Divil (Is there anything you dont know?) :)

Just following on with this thread - How do you collect the arguments in VB.NET (command$ in vb 6) ======== System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("foo.exe", "test") ======== I need the string value of test within the foo executable Cheers gs

This worked very well indeed Not very much in the way of instructions but from what I gather it bootstraps the file.msi and the dotnetfx.exe and installs both as needed. Would like to have some control over the setup.exe like icons and message texts but other than that recomended
