Our VB6 application uses a 3rd party control (PowerTCP from Dart) for SSL3 connectivity. However, this doesn't seem to work on Windows 7 - and I have not found any useful information on what I can do to make it work. Is there a VB6.0 compatible control that will work on Win 7 for SSL3 communication? ...

I'm trying to make the case for upgrading my development machine to Windows 7 - I'm currently on Windows XP 32bit. I've already identified the fact that moving to a 64bit OS should help performance by allowing me to max out the amount of RAM in my system. But what other features new to Windows 7 are a boon to software developers? ...
The global windows 7 snap function lets you snap windows to max or to the left/right edges of the screen. Is it possible to change the default padding between the snapped windows frames and the very edge of the screen? The default padding is 0, as everything snaps to the very edge. But I think putting a padding in there would help re...
I know of a similar question that got closed. But this one is from a developer's point of view. I must say my experience in terms of software development (not including testing) has been more painful on Vista than on XP. I'm wondering if you guys have had similar experience; and if so, does Windows 7 eases the pain? I'm using Vista on ...

Just tried some small graphics application of mine on Windows 7, and I'm getting a WM_SIZE event with loword==hiword== -1 -- can this be safely ignored, or does it have some special meaning? I never saw such sizes on XP/Vista, only with Windows 7. The docs don't tell much about what hiword/loword can be, so I wonder if -1 has some specia...
I just upgraded my operating system to Windows 7. Visual Studio 2008 also seems to work perfect. Next step is to upgrade my .NET application to use the new Windows 7 features. A quick seach with Google returned the following links: Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft .NET Framework Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework...
Whenever I am in debug mode my application closes whenever an error has occurred. The expected outcome is for the VS debugger to halt at the line where the error occurs. I am running VS 2008 on Win 7 Pro x64. Is there anyone out there with the same issue and has successfully resolved? ...

In Vista, I have been using an IFileSaveDialog to let users pick a "save-as" folder. Users export a folder of images, say, and need to choose a new or existing target folder. Briefly, the code goes like this: IFileSaveDialog* dialog; // created dialog->SetOptions(FOS_PICKFOLDERS); dialog->Show(NULL); dialog->GetResult(&shellItem) In ...

I've been using Kubuntu and Windows 7 on my laptop for some time. Recently I also started using git to keep track of a project I'm working on. At first I thought I'd use the same git repo for editing from both Kubuntu and Win, but I soon discovered that committing changes on Win would make git on Kubuntu think all the files have changed ...

I get the message, "mt.exe has stopped working". Is there a way to solve the crash, or do I need to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008? ...
