Re: tray icon - Windows Forms Discussion Boards

Patrick,

From that list I would say you don't have the VSTO SE (v3) installed as it tells you it is VSTO SE. The project types change with each release, as do the capabilities. I am currently using purely VSTO v3 with Office 2007 so my experience with it will differ from your's. I do, however, remember using VSTO 2005 (the 2nd release) with Word 2003 when VS2005 was first released and don't think I had any trouble with Windows Forms then either... Outlook is different from Word in many regards though. I suggest you try the MSDN VSTO Forums, you'll usually find you receive answers there, generally from MVPs, quite quickly. Try http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=16&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=0[^]

Toby,

The problem was that I was not granting full trust to my logging dll used to write a text log file. I had given the primary addin assembly full trust but my setup project did not grant full trust to the logging assembly. So the setup utility was changed to grant full trust to all assemblies that reside in it. This is an acceptable solution as long as the assembly is used with in my company. If I was working for a company that sold software, it would be best to grant the individual assemblies full trust since I would loose control of what is placed in the application folder.

A nice support person from MS Support showed me why it was not working.

Thanks for all your help and taking the time to reply to my post.

Hy guys , i m new to .net i have a scenario in which i have to open a MDI form in a MDI form i have tried lot but i m unable to implement it, if any body knows please help me thanks in advance.

Aamir Dharani

This is not supported by Windows. It has nothing to do with the .NET Framework.

You cannot have a window be both an MDI Parent and an MDI Child at the same time.

how to create a tray icon for adialog box??? what is the function to be used for this???

Hi,

there is a NotifyIcon class; you can create an instance, give it some Icon,
and make it Visible; probably you want to set a ContextMenu too.

I did all of this in my TrayIconBuster article.

If you are not trying to create friction, please get it together and ask in the right forums. The code you've posted is Win32 ( I still don't understand why ), so you need to ask in the Visual C++ forum.

Hi
In my application I need to insert a clock.

So How can I insert a running clock in my Form.

Please suggest me an Example.

i have used a text box in my dialog box in WIN32 programming....now i want that the data entered by user can be copied to a text file on pressing ok. what method can i use for this??

Telling us what programming language your using would be good for a start :P

c++ for a guess?

yes i m using C++

this guy has been asking so many times this question that i doubt he really know what he wants, or at least, what the words he uses actually mean...

i have the impression that he is coding using managed C++ (or C++/CLI), be he's always employing the name of "Win32" in his messages... Unsure | :~

Turns out he is stuck with using Win32, he obviously is a little lost, he can't work out what forums to use, and it's taken several tries, and several correct answers from different people, for him to work out how to create a text file. I'm pretty sure he was wrong when he said that he already knew C++ well.

yeah, he was probably talking about VB6++.NET

[VisualCalc][Binary Guide][CommDialogs] | [Forums Guidelines]

I'm still trying to help him, but he's obviously very lost. I think he's doing a course that teaches Win32, and he feels he needs to use API calls instead of standard C++ ones. Whatever the course is, I hope he doesn't expect a job out of it. win32 ???

spamming and cross posting the forums is what we actually call to be polite around codeproject... and i just gave you a link to let you know the best practices for "asking a question the smarter way". it was all serious. but as you got on my nerves too, i linked the littke google stuff, as you deserved it also :p

[VisualCalc][Binary Guide][CommDialogs] | [Forums Guidelines]

I'm afraid I am starting to believe that you are trolling. You've been asked several times for information about what you're doing, and not responded. I've asked you countless times to try and work out if you're using C++/CLI, if you're using MFC, or whatever, you never answer. If you post again, please post with some code, so we can work out what forum you should be asking in, and once we've helped you define the technology you're using, stick to that forum.
