It's easy for a WPF application to make parts of a window transparent or semi-transparent. But how to I apply the current Vista theme (colors, opacity) to these transparent parts? When I have a green glass border how will I get a green glass background of the same style? Is it even possible to do this without calls to the Windows API? ...
Hey guys, I'm from a Java school, but I'd like to get my hands dirty in C/C++ development as well. Can you suggest: 1) a Lightweight beginner IDE [Eg: JCreator for Java] (Simple and small download) 2) a full-blown advanced IDE [Eg: Eclipse for Java] (Every feature and huge download) 3) should I use GCC or other compilers? Thanks a lo...

I receive: Serverobject error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3' Server.CreateObject failed /master.central.be/master_connection.asp, line 55 800401f3 On that line i've g...
First time poster, be gentle ;-) I'm writing an audio app (in C++) which runs as a Windows service, uses WASAPI to take samples from the line in jack, and does some processing on it. Something I've noticed is that when my app is "recording", Windows won't automatically suspend or hibernate. I've registered for power event notificatio...
I was wondering how many people here use Windows Server 2008 (or w2k3) as their development machine. If you do, what are the pros/cons that you've found? If you don't, do you see any advantages to doing so? I've read many anecdotes online stating that it was a more stable development environment than Vista SP1, and some setup tips her...
My company is pushing that everyone switch to Vista on new laptops. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 right now and had to fix some compatibility issues. I could push for XP and go through HR, but I also could just get accustomed to Vista just for experience sakes. Any experiences with development and Vista? Pros/Cons? ...

I maintain a variety of managed userlabs on a university campus. These machines all currently run Windows XP and we have a windows service that is used to "lock" a machine by blocking any keyboard or mouse input. The locking happens during our scripted OS installation so that users aren't able to accidentally halt or break the process....

When our app is started programatically (either through custom action in MSI installer or when starting a new instance) in Windows Vista (also happens in Windows 7 Beta) it won't appear in the taskbar and isn't focused. Alt-tabbing to it will make it appear in the taskbar properly and stay there. What causes this? I've seen this in so...
We have some unit tests which work with performance counters (specifically creating new categories) and on XP/2003 they work fine but on Vista/7 they fail with a SecurityException ("Requested registry access is not allowed"). I tried checking the "Run as administrator" box on the properties for VSTestHost.exe, but that causes all tests ...

It works perfectly in Windows XP, but not on 64-bit Vista, where it fails with "Access denied". Looking into the server's access log, I can see that ...
I'm working on a project that discovers/configures remote devices using UDP broadcasts. These devices may not have IP addresses configured yet, at least no to match the network they are connected to. Currently we use a single sendto with a target address of 255.255.255.255. This works fine in most cases but on Vista machines with multipl...
