I have an application that runs as a service and contains an FTP client. It needs to connect to an FTP server that only supports Active FTP. When I attempt to get a list of files or download a file, Windows Firewall is dropping the incoming connection from the FTP server. (I don't believe we had this problem in Windows XP or Windows Vis...
I've seen a few Windows 7 applications popping up around the web that take advantage of the new task bar functionality. However, some of these applications are treating the task bar like the notification area. There is no foreground window. All interaction is done through the task bar button (with overlays, progress bars, jump lists, etc...
I wrote a game years ago (under Windows 95) in Pascal. Since then over time I'd checked it and it still ran with the newer OSs. It works in XP. It works in Vista. However under Windows 7, even in the XP compatibility mode, it crashes on the spot. I've yet to get a chance to attach a debugger and wade through the decade-old code, but...
I have to sync a Pocket Access database with Access on the PC. WMDC won't let me do that and ActiveSync won't run on Vista so I can't do it. Works great on XP. Windows 7 has an XP mode. It runs XP in a virtual machine or something like that. Question: Can I Sync Pocket Access on Windows Mobile 5.0 with Access on Windows 7 if I'm run...
I have an MFC application. When running it on Windows 7 I realized that when changing the display percentage to meduium - 125%, I have a TextControl which is cut off (end of sentence doesn't appear.) How can I fix this? I could enlarge the size of the control on the dialog, but I'd rather do that via the code. My application is locali...
The following piece of source does run nicely with Windows up until vista. With Windows 7 (and the new .net 3.5) it always produces an out of memory exception, when I try to load a raw image file from my Nikon D90. Some might say "loading nef's is not supported", but it did run nicely up until vista, only Windows 7 broke it, so I'd disag...
My team has spent a long time developing a nice UI using the ribbon included in the VS2008 MFC Feature Pack. Now that Windows 7 is out and the look and feel of the ribbon has changed, my application looks out of date already, and it hasn't even been released yet :/ I want the look and feel of the Windows 7 ribbon ("scenic ribbon") idea...
As the release date for the public beta of SharePoint 2010 is coming closer and closer, I'm wondering how to set up a developer machine for it. I've heard that for developing on SharePoint a 64 bit system is needed and that Microsoft advises to use Windows 7 64 bit and install SharePoint 2010 on it. I think that won't be an option for m...

I am running Windows 7 x64, and then XP in Windows XP Mode. I am using bridged networking so that in XP I can access network / domain resources (e.g. SourceSafe).

I am running Windows 7 and have an application that has a textbox bound to a Property in a Custom Class that Implements IEnumerable. When I call Raise Event to update the textbox it will only work the first time. However, the application works on every other OS I have tested on (XP, Vista). Also if my custom class does not implement I...
I have a program which makes use of a desktop Namespace extension. In Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista, users can drag icons onto an icon on the desktop and the program is launched. However, in Windows 7 (both Home and Ultimate), all that happens is the icon order is rearranged. I tried using Sysinternals dbgview.exe. It ...

I have the latest Zend Server CE installed which has Zend Debugger enabled by default and I have the latest Aptana IDE installed. For a few days already I've been trying to make those two work together... to no avail. When I run the Aptana deb...

Instead, I just see...

I'm trying to make a thumbnail toolbar button (TTB from now on)visible when the it is clicked. I know how to do stuff when it is clicked, AddHandler etc. But if I tell it TTB.visible=false then it doesn't become invisible. If I put TTB.enabled = False it will be disabled, so it's only the visible that isn't working. Also I put a button...
