Hello, I'm experiencing a subtle issue with the Swing SystemLookAndFeel under Windows 7. The applet below sets the SystemLookAndFeel and then modifies the background colour of MenuBar and MenuItem. This works perfectly well with Windows XP and it works also well with Windows 7 having the Windows Classic theme activated. But it has no ef...
I have a Delphi 2010 app which shows/hides the desktop icons under XP fine. However under my Window 7 test environment (happens to be 64 bit) the icons don't disappear. Here is the critical code I am using (for the hide): ShowWindow(FindWindow(nil, 'Program Manager'), SW_HIDE ); I have found I can set the registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_US...

Today I started testing a gwt application on a new notebook with Windows 7. Testing with Firefox went OK, then I started it in IE8. The "Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin" comes up, fine, click on Download. A moment (and a download) later, an IE security warning window comes up ("Do you want to run this so...
Hi all, Where can a user write to that can be accessed by a service when a user is logged off? When a user runs the program they will be applying settings that a service needs to read, typically a user would need to be an administrator to be able to write to 'Program Files' or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so is there a correct way to prompt for a...

I support small local customers with VB2008 and MS Access applications (not VBA!). When I had to replace my machine, the new one came with Win7 64bit. Things failed immediately. I figured out how to compile VB for x86; but when I did that, I got a bunch of compile errors from the designer code, not my own. Typical of the errors is th...

The basic order of things that happen when you click a tab is Bring relevant page to front Show relevant page (by calling SetWindowPos with the appropriate flags) Hide the old page that we just covered up Repai...

The reason for this is that I keep track of certain elements in my application (data structures, resources, ...), and at the end of the application, a routine looks at these elements and reports if they were not correctly closed, freed, deleted, ...

Unfortunately, we have to register our own WNDCLASS for the mainframe, and in the WNDCLASS.hIcon member you have to set an icon. This icon is...

This is an example of an interactive program: public static void main(String[] args) { ...

My only roadblock is virtualization. The sample code below should create an instance of notedpad at medium IL with virtualization enabled. In actuality, it cre...
I have recently installed Windows 7 and I have come to a conclusion. While Active Sync was old and did not work great, it did work. I could connect to my devices and emulators after the proper rituals and incantations. The other conclusion I have come to is that Windows Mobile Device Center is worse that Active Sync was. I cannot get...
