C# VS2010 and Crystal Reports - visual-studio-2010

Hi within my app I've a CR that is set up to create an email when a field is clicked. This functionality is working in preview mode of the report but when I actually run my application and get to the report the functionality is not working. Though when I hold my mouse over the field I can see the mailto formula that I've created appear as a tooltip. Any ideas why this is not working when my app is running?

Are you using the ReportViewer control? What is the HyperlinkTarget property set to? I think you probably want it to be _blank

Widgets change places when running from design tab

I am building a visual studio application and have designed it using visual studio windows form. I am using the siticone library for the GUI but when i lay widgets out on the designer and then run the application all the widgets move. The buttons do not but the labs on them do. Also i have added a user control page that moves aswell. Please Help.
Cheers.enter image description here
Make sure that your Winform Font style and size match with all child controls including all Siticone controls.
Verify that you have anchored your controls accordingly on your form or panel control.

Are there any changes in the WebView related APIs in UWP or UAP Windows app?

I am having a Windows 8.1 supported app, but now it is updated to the UWP/UAP (i.e. Windows 10) app.
After updating the custom URI scheme is not working, On a button click on the web page, we were using "navto://" custom URI scheme and handling were done in a js file. The button action was bind through the anchor tag.
From this approach, we navigate our web pages forward/backward or used to send a user to a particular web page.
But now this js file is being not called on the click of the same button and a System Popup appear saying "You will need a new app to open this navto link". For reference, please have a look at the attached screenshot of the error popup. If anybody is familiar with the issue, please suggest me the solution.
Actually I followed this page to migrating the app https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/misc/migrate-apps-to-the-universal-windows-platform-uwp?view=vs-2015#MigrateCSharp
And also tried other options as well by googling but I haven't got any perfect solution yet.
Thanks

Replacing part of Outlook client's window with a custom form

I am developing a VSTO application for Outlook client. I am trying have my form open in the part of the Outlook client window which is highlighted in red in the following image:
I think I can't use the form regions because they replace the view for a single item.
So basically what I want to do is opening my custom form (windows or web) in the red area when I click my tool's button on the toolbar.
Any ideas how this can be done?
There are three main ways for displaying your own form there:
You can use the WebViewURL and WebViewOn properties of the Folder class for setting a web view state for the folder. Microsoft Outlook uses the rendering engine of the version Windows Internet Explorer installed on the client computer to display the web page. If Internet Explorer is not installed on the client computer, Outlook will not display the web page.
Create an adjucent Outlook window. See Creating Adjacent Windows In Outlook for more informaiton. Note, you need to have a deep understanding of Windows API to move that way, see SetWindowsHookEx.
Add-in Express provides a layout for the form out of the box. There is no need to invent a wheel in that case.
You will need to get down to the HWND level to insert your UI - see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/stephen_griffin/2010/06/01/adjacent-windows-in-outlook/ and https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/OlAdjacentWindows/

How do I enable/disable my Ribbon Buttons in Outlook

I have an Outlook Add-in created with VSTO. Using the Ribbon Designer I have created a tab with three buttons on it. (Environment: Outlook 2010, .NET 4.0, VSTO latest runtime)
When one of the buttons is pressed a modeless dialog is opened. As long as the user is working on this dialog I do not want him to be able to press the button again. So basically I want to gray out the button till the dialog is closed. How can I do this?
For whatever reason, in the button click handler, if I do this.button1.enabled = false; it is just not working. Am I missing something about the way ribbons work.
Thanks
You need to re-render the control using IRibbonUI.InvalidateControl(controlID) or IRibbonUI.Invalidate(). See MDSN on how to dynamically update the Fluent UI for reference. This is done for performance reasons so that you can change all your Fluent UI settings and then re-render all control changes at once. However, if you are only changing one UI element (as you indicate) this can seem confusing and unnecessary.

Windows Mobile Custom Textbox

I'm trying to replicate the input box shown in the image on windows mobile 5+
but i'm struggling for ideas!
So far the only things I have come up with (I haven't managed to make either work) were to either;
inherit TextBox and paint the textbox
background manually by overriding
OnPaint/OnPaintBackground
make the textbox background
transparent and position the
textbox over an image that looked
like the one in the screen shot
Has anybody done this or know of how this could be acheived?
Thanks in advance
OneShot
I gave up on this as I have moved away from windows mobile but found that it wasn't possible, due to restrictions in the compact framework, to do this with the existing textbox, you would need to create your own texbox control from scratch!
