Is there a way how to display some contacts from Outlook's contact list in different manner?
So far I've seen, that there is quite some customization available for Office applications, however I haven't seen anything even remotely close to this functionality.
No, there is no way to display Outlook contacts in a different color.
Well, indeed this is what I found - it is possible only via adding of the new AutoFormatRule to the Outlook.TableView.
Sample code would be something like:
Outlook.AutoFormatRule autoFormatRule = tableView.AutoFormatRules.Add("My own rule");
autoFormatRule.Font.Bold = true;
autoFormatRule.Font.Strikethrough = true;
autoFormatRule.Filter = <filtering>;
tableView.Save();
tableView.Apply();
For filling in 'filtering' part one can use DASL Queries
But I still need to figure out what to do with the non-list views.
I can suggest only one possible way - replace the default folder view with a custom form where you can display entries in the way you need. See Creating Adjacent Windows In Outlook for more information.
Also you may consider using Add-in Express. They provide such layouts out of the box. See Advanced Outlook view and form regions.
Note, you can use any .net controls on top of custom forms.

I really need help for creating a DevExpress XAF Windows application having a GanttView with special abilities including;
auto arranging of dependent appointments
resizing on holidays/not working times
hiding holidays/not working times, showing only working time intervals
please help, thanks in advance.
I will probably get hit with a stick over the head for "me too answer" but I have this task on my list for near future as I am working on something that needs to offer this functionality.
This is how I was going to approach this:
1. create BO to hold project definition or a query of some sort. Goo example to follow is how report module BOs are stored in the database.
2. create win or/and web editor for this type of business object.
3. the editor will contain either chart form charts module or scheduler view in gantt mode (depending on what you need)
As i get to this task myself I can provide more details or share an example.
here are some links to look at:

`
Main consideration for choices you have to make:
do you just need to display the view or interact with it too (chart control vs scheduler)
do you have to deal with source of the data that already has some schema you have to follow or do you have ability to model data as you want.
I am new to using visual studio lightswitch and I have formed a table with data, but I want to know if there's a way I can get it so that when I start typing, suggestions will come up. As a lot of the data (i.e. Company Name) is repeated throughout, so it would save me typing it out in full every time. I don't want to use a drop box as it cant be limited. I have got this far without typing code so if we could keep it basic that would be great. Thanks
I am really desperate; Any help or comments would be much appreciated
LS HTML 2013 supports filtering/searching collections out of the box, just mark all searchable fields of your entities as "Is Searchable" and display the filter/search box on your screen, e.g. having your Customers displayed on a BrowseCustomers screen, you can trigger this capability as following:
myapp.BrowseCustomers.created = function (screen) {
screen.Customers.showSearch();
};
if you need "more control", you can add a dataitem to the screen (e.g. string "FilterTerm"), bind it to the query and tweak the LS createQuery method for your specific needs (e.g. the Customers VisualCollection), a good example can be found at Progressive insight on autocomplete as you type in the Lightswitch html Client
I get all existing COM-Addins in Excel by using " Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.COMAddIns".
In my case, I have 8 COM-AddIns. 2 of them (A and B) are from my solutions and they are displayed in two different custom Ribbons with the same name. As I have mentioned, they are coming from different solutions.
I'm using Ribbon.designer and I would need to customize these 2 Ribbon in order to have only ONE Ribbon with Groups and Buttons from both (I don't want to use TabAddIns Office Built-In).
I am not able to access to Ribbon A (and customize it) if I'm running the solution of Ribbon B and vice-versa.
Do any of you guys know if that's possible?
See the image in order to understand better.
It has been done once Excel is open and I want to do it at run-time:

In an Xpage running on Domino 9.0.1 I'm using a rich text control with some custom toolbar configuration using the control's "attr" property as it is described here: https://frostillic.us/f.nsf/posts/quick-and-dirty-ckeditor-toolbar-setup-for-xpages
I added the link toolbar template using
<xp:this.attrs>
<xp:attr name="toolbar">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[[["Link", "Unlink", "Anchor"]]]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:attr>
</xp:this.attrs>
All three buttons are displayed fine, esp. I'm able to define an anchor link target.
But trying to reference the anchor target I find that the Link dialog is somewhat incomplete as I can't define my link to use a relative target on the same page. I tried entering a reference in the dialog's URL field as #myAnchorId, but that results in a link looking like this:
....
Here's an image of the dialog that pops up from my Xpage when I hit the "URL link" button:
And this is what the dialog looks like that I can test from the CKEditor Samples page:
I'm aware that the samples page uses CKEditor V 4, so the dialog is somewhat different, but even V 3.6 should be able to reference anchor links using the dialog.
I already looked up on the installed ckeditor's version; \DominoData\domino\html\ckeditor\version.txt says:
cke_version=3.6.6.2
cke_revision=20130606-1534
Question is: what's missing here? Do I have to somehow modify the dialog?
Oh my, finally got it to work; #IBM: this feature truly could use some proper documentation! I'll mark this answer as a community wiki.
Indeed a different dialog is used here, which btw appears to apply to all the dialogs in use with Domino's CKEditor implementation. The trick in my case is to use one of the custom toolbar items instead of the standard one; up to now I found three of those customized items:
use MenuLink instead of the standard Link item; this item
consists of two sub items ('URL Link' and 'Anchor Link'), each calling its own dialog version; the resulting toolbar definition then looks like this: ['MenuLink', 'Unlink', 'Anchor']
use MenuPaste instead of the standard Paste item; again, this
item consists of two sub items ('Paste' and 'Paste as text'), again
each calling its own dialog version
use LotusSpellChecker to add IBM's own spell checking feature, where CKE's standard spell checker isn't working
I found hints to those three custom items inside my local \DominoData\domino\html\ckeditor\config.js. Don't know if those are all custom items available to day.
EDIT:
IBM's Domino Designer Xpages User Guide mentions another means of customizing the toolbar; the section unfortunately is incorrect in describing the options for the toolbarType attribute: be aware that all named types must start with capital letters, e.g. Basic, Slim, Medium, Large, Full, while the also mentioned Lite type isn't working at all; mistyping or using a non-existing value results in the editor not being displayed at all.
The link dialog that you're using is not the default one, so you should check how to modify it or replace it with the default one.
How can i implement a Section View(like in IOS) in Windows8 ListView ?
I want to break down the Listview into different Sections.
Any Directions ?
ListViews have a property called groupDataSource that lets you define how the items are grouped. You might want to look at the Grid App template in Visual Studio, which has data already set up in this way. You can also take a look at this tutorial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465464.aspx
If you want any more info, you will have to be a bit more specific with your line of questioning.
In my Netflix post on codefoster.com I tried to show grouping in its simplest form. When you have a JS array, you simply make a Binding.List out of it and then you just call createGrouped sending it two lambda functions telling it how to group. Then like #Paul said, you'll get those different sections automatically in your ListView. Hope that helps.
