The context menu will not show up. This happens on Word 2000, not on Word 2007 (I don't know about other versions). How can I get rid of this behaviour? How to reproduc...

I am seeing this problem in both Word and Powerpoint and the reason it seems is the COM addin attached to Excel. The COM addin is written in C# (.NET). See the attached images for error dialogs. I debugged the addin and found a very strange ...
I developed a C# web application that calls a web-service which returns a base64 encoded array (PDF file). I then convert that array into a UCOMIStream object (I know it is obsolete, but the DLL that I am using requires it as a parameter). I use the following code to do the conversion which works perfectly. I can pass this object to t...

WI have a windows shell extension which adds menu items to the printer menu when the printer is right-clicked. The code works fine in Windows 2000, XP, Vista, but in Windows 7 the call to GetData() fails with DV_E_FORMATETC. I've found various threads regarding this but they all appear to be VB/asp related.

I'm learning Access 2007, and among the list of data types are the OLE Object and the Attachment. The text has this to say about Attachments: You can use attachments to store several files, and even different types of files, in a single field. The Attachment field is new for Access 2007 and stores data files more efficient...
Hi All, I was thinking about inserting some object (button, panel or static text) into textctrl, like Outlook Express does this. You can see from a pic "group1" is an object, you can double click on it, when you delete it, it gets deleted the whole text not just a part of it. I made some research and this text field is just a sim...

Something like 7-zip can be used to do this manually but I need to do this programatically. I've gathered that a Word document is an OLE container (hence why 7-zip can be used to view its contents) but I can't work out how to...
Hi, I'm re-implementing part of the OLE automation code in our in-house scripting language. I've written a piece of code that reads ITypeInfo and caches its members for every interface pointer that's used in a script. I use the cached info to convert names into dispids for calls to Invoke and for parameter count checking. We also imp...
