I just found out that with one of the last Office update, Microsoft's icons have been reworked, they have got new skins and all for Office 32bits.
This means some of the Mso icons are no longer available or have their identifier changed, and are displayed like so in add-ins:
I'm trying to adapt an Excel add-in in order to replace the broken Msos to keep a decent visual between the old and new versions.
It means I have to handle this kind of thing for each single given Mso identifier:
Old version ->
New version ->
There were documents for Office in order to find Msos and their respective Id here, but I can't find any equivalent for the new ones.
I've seen the list of identifiers, but nothing that actually let me see the icon and its Mso identifier.
Is there anything that could help with that?
You can get the Office 2010 icon names and images from the word file downloadable here.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21103
These mso_ labels work in VS ribbons even if the user has the new version of office. Although the icons themselves have changed, in my experience they look similar enough to work in most cases.
As far as I know, there is no way to use the new Office SVG images within a custom ribbon. The old images were a stored collection of MSO images and now they seem to be changing to a new scale-able SVG image set.
The Newer MSO images however are available to those using Newer versions of Office and the MSO image names are identical to the previous MSO image Set from the older versions of Office.

I am trying to make an email layout cross compatible with all clients, but is getting slowed down because I have to use Outlook everytime I make changes. Actually it seems like the only method is to use litmus, so what happens is whenever I make changes to my code, I send a test email to my litmus, then only from there I can check the cross compatibility.
Is there a software/tool I can use to see the layout real time as how I code?
Thanks!
If you have Litmus, use Litmus Builder! You can code in one half of the screen and get updated previews of any client in the right every time you save. Worth the $$$ if you work on email regularly.
Another way is to use Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft Outlook uses a similar (if not same) rendering engine as Microsoft Word.
If you have a compiled HTML file of the email and have Microsoft Word installed on your computer, you can right-click the HTML file and Open With -> Microsoft Word to open the email file in Word. What you see should be very similar to Outlook.

A project I worked on 15+ years ago as need additional work. Unfortunately, my build & kit environment has long ago been taken down. I have recreated the build environment but am seeking a boxed, licensed copy of InstallShield 5.5. Does anyone know where I can find one. I have the old .ipr files but updating it to a newer Install Shield has proven very difficult. I just want it to work again and allow me to generate a self extracting .exe. I'm doing this all on an old XP laptop with VS6 and VB6. Everything compiles and links. Just need to create a kit. Thanks for your help
Ideas:
Look on eBay - it typically has lots of obsolete items like this. You can search internationally and also save your search so it will email you when new matches are found. (I don't see any copies on there as of this moment).
Contact the current InstallShield owner - Flexera Software. Maybe they can help you out.
Post on VBForums - possibly someone has a copy they can sell/send/lend you.
Depending on your comfort level, you might find it on a download site / torrent download site. Since you do own a license this seems legit to me, but you need to be careful of malware, etc. (especially since you will presumably distribute the results of this installer build).

I'm wondering what is the license of the fonts included with Windows. Does anybody know where I could find the EULA for them? In general, can I freely use these fonts in my open source software?
In general, I know I cannot distribute the font file itself, but how about simply displaying some text with this font? For example, Arial is used in many websites, I guess these websites don't pay some extra license fee to Microsoft?
The Arial wikipedia article describes the licensing terms of Microsoft fonts. And, it also specifies free alternatives available that are metrically equivalent to Arial. Liberation Sans is a good choice IMO. Look at relevant wiki articles to know all the free alternatives available.
Most of the Windows fonts are licensed to Ascender corporation. They now provide license for software and hardware developers to use them. See Type Foundry: Microsoft for more information, and the fonts available.
In addition to that, if you go to right-click -> properties, there's a tab called license. It provides the information about licensing terms as well.
When it comes to use of fonts like Arial in websites, I think it's allowed because the website itself doesn't embed the font, but merely specifies the font name. It's the browser that does the mapping. If you are talking about a stand-alone software, you need to have a closer look.
You are free to use the fonts supplied with Windows, free to write software that uses them, but you cannot distribute them.

I have just started a new job, and am trying to familiarise myself with a large C# solution, of 330 odd projects. Ideally I would like to attach comments and questions to pieces of code without actually editing the code itself.
Is there a tool I can use to annotate C# source code without actually editing the code itself. Ideally I would like a 'bubble' type comment mechanism, similar to how MS Word shows comments in a a document.
you can add bookmarks to lines of files of a solution. In vs2010 there is a view that shows all bookmarks and you can give tem names and sort them in bookmarkfolders.
On studio 2010, with your desired Project open, hit "Ctrl+W, T" (or View->Task List). This window can both be used to view in-code comments (which is not what you want) using the //TODO: comment prefix, or to view your own independente "User Tasks" (view the dropdown options), and it is saved per project. With this list indicating your descriptions and bookmarks id... you can have a very efective freeway to what you want without ever changing source. Hope it helps.
It may well be overkill for your needs, but Atlassian's FishEye can be used to exactly what you're after - in the form of a source code review.
You could create more than one review, as your understanding of the code improves.
See https://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/overview. Note that it sits on top of a source control system (it supports Subversion, CVS, Perforce, Git, and Mercurial). Even if your code is not managed in one of these, it would be trivial to set one up for this purpose.
It also as the advantage of integrating your comments with those of other in your team ... and, of course, being usable for real reviews!

Has anyone found and used an alternative to the Microsoft Webbroswer ActiveX control with any success? The open source Firefox ActiveX version seems to be a dead project development wise and based on an old Firefox version.
Give a look to the GeckoFX Project, an open-source component for embedding Mozilla Gecko (Firefox) in .NET applications.
Written in clean, fully commented C#,
GeckoFX is the perfect replacement for
the default Internet Explorer-based
WebBrowser control.
(source: googlecode.com)
I just installed Microsoft's WebView2 NuGet Package named "Microsoft.Web.WebView2" and dropped the control on a Windows Form and gave it a source to navigate to:
//Build your own URL
string sURL = $"https://auth.tdameritrade.com/auth?response_type=code&redirect_uri={sCallbackURLEncoded}&client_id={sConsumerKey}%40AMER.OAUTHAP";
//Set it as the source
wvLogin.Source = new Uri(sURL);
BAM! It worked. I wish I had known this was available before wasting time on browser controls that do not package well or testing browsers that cost $800 or $1500 for a single licencse.
