I'm building a custom ribbon in PowerPoint and would like to include the Text Highlight Color Picker control on it. I've found an idMso called TextHighlightColorPicker, but it's not recognised by PowerPoint so I just get an error when I open it.
<control idMso="TextHighlightColorPicker" size="large" label=" " />
I've tried various other idMso with the word 'highlight' in but to no avail. I imagine it's simply not available for custom ribbons, but I thought I check to see if anyone knows, because it's seems strange that most of the other buttons are available but not that one.
Thanks in advance!
There is no such command available in PowerPoint 2016. You can find the list of commands available if you navigate to the Customize Ribbon on PowerPoint settings dialog:
Here you can find the list of all available controls. And if you hover the mouse over any entry you may find the idMso value which can be used in the code for building a custom UI.
I eventually found the idMso as per the instructions in Eugene Astafiev's answer, it turns out it is only avaiable in subscription versions. The id is "TextHighlightColorPickerLicense".

I am trying to show a simple dialog before uninstall in NSIS. It consists of several predefined radio buttons (reasons for uninstalling), none of them checked initially. Uninstallation cannot continue until a user selects one of the radio buttons.
As a bonus, ideally I would like to have a custom reason text field too (toggle-able via last radio button). As well as 2 more text fields for custom text and email.
Then I need to take selected value(s) (checked radio button) as well as text fields data and either append it to my predefined URL to which I make a GET request using InetC or similar plugin before uninstaller exits; or laternatively construct a POST request to a predefined URL using InetC or similar plugin. I cannot figure out how to create such a dialog page. Any help would be appreciated.
What I am looking for:
First, you should get familiar with nsDialogs to create the interface according to your needs. Since nsDialogs is a function, you would then can call it as a custom page.
You can use my tool Visual & Installer (www.visual-installer.com) for Visual Studio 2005 - 2015 to fast write the NSIS code.
(If you are "writing" the installer - I assume you have some experiences with nsDialogs).
Also there are some other tools like NSIS Dialog Designer (http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=329801) which can help you and generate lot of code for you.
This tool is GUI based - designer similar to Visual Studio designer - but remember: the result is still the scripts!
I'm trying to add custom Display Items to the Fonts and Colors dialog. I can successfully save and retrieve colors using the IVsFontAndColorStorage service but the items do not appear in the list of Display Items. I have tried following this blog post about adding a custom category. My category appeared but only with the default display items. My real goal is to add my custom colors to the "Text Editor" category. ReSharper does a similar thing.
Have anyone had experience with this? Is there a nice tutorial out there?
I eventually went a different route. This thread has the details on how to accomplish it: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vseditor/thread/ed463657-6a36-4e33-b313-b2923cc81a74
I'm writing an Editor Extension and wondered the same thing. It as easy as decorating the attributes you want to appear with UserVisible(true). See this thread for more information.

Can someone point me to an article or tutorial on using custom controls in Visual Studio Lightswitch? I'm trying to add a rich text box to a page, linked to a string property. When running the app, sometimes the field will show up, sometimes it won't. If it does show the width of the field is small, about 2 characters, but will expand when text is pasted inside. Saving doesn't work, though.
I'm not even sure about whether or not I'm allowed to use controls like these in a Lightswitch app, even though custom controls are obviously supported. Are the custom controls restricted to a certain type or set?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Have a look at the following example, http://lightswitchhelpwebsite.com/Blog/tabid/61/EntryId/10/LightSwitch-Student-Information-System-Part-3-Custom-Controls.aspx
Also the Training Kit has examples of Custome Controls included.
There is also this tutorial:

On your Windows machine if you just hover your mouse over any Microsoft Office Word 2007/2010 document you get a screentip which generally contains metadata information such as Type,Authors, Size and DateModified. These metadata are the builtin document properties of any word document.
I'm wondering if there is any (VSTO/other/hacked)way to display a custom document property on such a screentip.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
As I understood you, you want to customize the windows explorer tooltips which are shown when hovering over Microsoft Word files?
This is possible using the registry. Specifically you can navigate to HKCR\Word.Document. and edit the InfoTip entry.
Specifics are descriped here: Customize Windows Explorer Tooltips and on a German page, very poorly translated via Google: Windows XP: provide tooltip in Explorer with detailed information.
Please note that this procedure may vary depending on your Office Version and your Windows version so you might want to look a little deeper into that.
This sounds like a trivial question, but it's proved quite hard to google anything about this.
When editing Color-typed properties through the property editor (when designing WinForms), a little editor pops up with three tabs: Custom, Web and System. I want to set a custom color by using the standard color picker dialog because none of the listed Custom colors are suitable.
I am sure that this used to be possible by double-clicking a blank color on the Custom tab, but this just picks the color being double-clicked and closes the drop-down in my VS2008. Am I imagining this, or did it really use to be possible? Can I do this in VS2008 somehow?
Right click on a blank colour in the palette shown by the custom tab. Brings up the "Define Color" dialog (in VS2008 C# Express, and I imagine the same in other versions).
EDIT - Having discovered this by experimentation, the MSDN library describes it here.
Interestingly, no keyboard-only interface is described.
