Is your Windows 7 machine 64-bit? I believe 32-bit ActiveX controls will not work in 64-bit applications.

True, but it won't cause an problem like this. He'll get some kind of "invalid image" error and the app won't even run.

How to write addin that works in both Powerpoint 2007 and Powerpoint 2010

Hi all,

I've been tasked with ensuring our add-in works in both Powerpoint 2007 and Powerpoint 2010. We'd really rather not have to keep up with two sets of code - imagine the headaches that might entail. I've searched online and on CodeProject for what I need to do to enable functionality in both versions but apparently I don't have the right search terms. Anyone know of any article(s) or other postings that address this issue?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

How about if you check the version of PP in your addin and react according to the version? I never programmed any PP addin and don't even know if you can read the version info but I know this works in Outlook and Word.

I appreciate the answer. Yes, that does sound like a viable solution as long as I can code in VS2010 and it'll work in both of them. The problem I'm finding with coding this add-in is there's a dearth of information about programming for PowerPoint. Lots of info for how to use PP, but not much about programming for it.

But thanks for the assist. Any little bit helps. Wink | ;-)

Is there a way to check if email is send or not

Hi,

Is there a way to check if email is send or not in vb.net?
I have a program which will send an email using ms outlook.
When ever the user click the Email button on my vb.net form.
The email outlook message will display with it's recipients,
subject and body. Then user will just click the send button
after the user adds body information. Now,I want to trap
if user click the send button in email outlook form.

I want this so that if the user click the send button in email outlook,
I will automatically close the vb.net form.

Thanks in advance!

There is a Send-Event on the MailItem object in Outlook which is raised then the user hits the send button on an email.

STOP YELLING!!!

You can't do it very easily. VB6 doesn't support it and writing a COM object that you host in an ASP web page is problematic at best.

Save yourself the immense pile of grief and move up to VB.NET where web services are very easy to write.

if you are using the drop down menu on the MDIform interface (Control E to get into it) then you will notice there are arrow buttons, use the right arrow to indent a menu option which makes it a sub menu of the first entry above it that has a lesser indent

left arrow reduces the level of the menu entry

not sure that was best explanation but try it and you will see what happens

Hi!
I've created InnoSetup output files for a VB application a long time ago. I lost the script files(.iss files). But I've the output files(Setup files). Is it possible to install the setup and retrieve the GUID(AppId) from the installation? How?

If you're talking about the ProductCode, then this is a script I use by putting a shortcut in the SendTo menu to get it. All I do is right-click the .MSI, Send To -> GetProductCode.

Dim msi,database,view1,record,productCode

Set msi = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Set database = msi.OpenDatabase(WScript.Arguments(0), 1)

Set view1 = database.OpenView("SELECT `Value` FROM `Property` WHERE `Property` = 'ProductCode'")
Call view1.Execute

Set record = view1.Fetch
If record Is Nothing Then
	MsgBox "Unable to find a ProductCode in the MSI database!"
	WScript.Quit
End if

productCode = record.StringData(1)

Set record = view1.Fetch
If record Is Nothing Then
	RecordsReturned = 1
Else
	RecordsReturned = 2
End If

Set record = Nothing
view1.Close
Set view1 = Nothing
Set database = Nothing
Set msi = Nothing

If RecordsReturned = 1 Then
	InputBox "The ProductCode is:", WScript.Arguments(0), productCode
Else
	MsgBox "There was more than one 'ProductCode' record returned from the MSI database!!"
End If

Printing files in the background

Simon_Whale20-Jul-11 0:23

I need the ability to print files out from our application. I can use the ProcessStartInfo to do this in the background with out any issue using the following code:

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
       With psi
           .Verb = "print"
           .WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
           .FileName = "C:\Quote.pdf"
           .UseShellExecute = True
       End With

I also need to be able to change the printer that it uses depending on the reports specified. But I need to be able to change the printer in the background without user interaction

Does anyone know how to change the printer for the print job? or am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks
Simon

Change the .Verb to "printto", then add the printer name, preferrably in quotes, in the Arguments property:

.Verb = "printto"
.Arguments = """printerName"""

I tried what you suggested but PDF files can't be printed to a remote printer using processstartinfo as printto isn't a verb that is setup by default when installing the Adobe reader.

Found this out by looking at the verbs in processstartinfo e.g.

dim psi as new processstartinfo("c:\quote.pdf")

for each verb as string in psi.verbs
 debug.print(verb)
next

and by checking this via windows explorer by going into the Tools -> Options -> File Types tab and looking at the advanced properties.

Back to the drawing board for me on this one at the moment.

After reading all of the posts, if you have to print PDF, look into something like GhostPDF.

We have a reporting solution (Business Objects) that has been in place for years. Of late, for WHATEVER reason, reports are now printing with the header and footer information removed.

Since we can save the reports via code in a PDF format, I tried using GhostScript yesterday to print the PDF document to the affected printers. Early results are encouraging.

I am working on a data based app. I have everything working to this point. when I go to insert a new record to the table I get a Null reference exception

.

Private Sub StudCount_Compute(ByRef result As String)
           ' Set result to the desired field value

           result = (WallLenght & "  " & Guage.ToString & "  " & "Ga." & "  " & WallHeight.ToString & "  " & "Ft.")



       End Sub

I'm unsure how to fix this, most likely it's a stupid thing I forgot to do.
Please show Me the error of My way's. Confused | :confused:
