Today I ran into the ExplorerBrowser from the Windows API Code Pack... This looks like a fantastic control to use as a Explorer like control in my application.. However, I am trying to modify the Commands toolbar, which is located on the top of the ExplorerBrowser control. I have noticed I have some control..I can Hide the CommandsOrganize and the CommandsView parts of the toolbar, but I really need to Hide some other controls as well..
This is what I trying to get:
I want to HIDE --> 'Organize', 'Open With','Include in Library','Burn', 'Print' etc controls
I want to show --> SHOW 'New Folder' and 'CommandsView' controls (CommandsView to modify the view - detail - small icons - etc).
Does anybody know if this is possible? If yes.. How?
I have though about creating a whole separate toolstrip or something like that, but then I don't know how to handle the 'New Folder' button..
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards,
Pim

I'm sure there's a simple way to do this that I am overlooking. But, how do you make a custom tab in the Ribbon.xml show up only in the new message compose window? I want to have my own tab so that the ribbon for my groups and buttons will be clean.
I am currently doing a workaround to invalidate the tab control when a new mail item event happens, but there must be a simpler way to do this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It's Outlook 2016 desktop in Windows 10.
Thank you.
Your ribbon XML must specify only Microsoft.Outlook.Mail.Compose - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/vsto/customizing-a-ribbon-for-outlook?view=vs-2019
I have a query on the usage of windows form in excel add-in, application level.
Objective Statement:
Display customized windows form control, similar to a way a chart is being inserted into excel
Custom Pane
I have tried custom pane add-in but it seems to be on a entire workbook level, i need something on a worksheet level
Task Pane
I can't seem to use the task pane in application add-in for excel
Windows Form Control
When I click on a cell in excel i will lose focus to the windows form, i will need the windows to be together with the worksheet, but i can't use showdialog.
Thanks for the help in advance.
From your answer it is hard for me to figure out if you we are looking at a code solution here or something more high level, so I am going to assume that you are looking for a code solution, please correct me if I am wrong.
Have you considered using an OLE object or ActiveX?
There is an example from Microsoft here, how to develop an ActiveX control. (Here is some other walkthrough that I found helpful).
Just to give you a hint how it (the example mentioned above) looks like, here is the screenshot of the compiled example that I added onto the excel sheet:
ActiveX control can be added both manually, or by code, so I could imagine that you could also provide a COM Excel Add-in that would add some buttons onto the ribbon, that when pressed, would add the desired controls onto the sheet.
I have to modify an old VB6 program that uses ActiveReports 2.0 at work and I am having some problems (BTW I have never used this program before and only have a basic knowledge of VB6)...
I have to make some text boxes biggers which is pretty easy to do but as soon as I move them a whole section of text (and not simply the content of that text box) disappear.
I have noticed that it was in some sort of section (sorry, I don't know how they call that) which englobed those text boxes so I made it bigger and that made no difference.
What could be causing this?
Thank you!

It sounds like the TextBox is inside a UserControl. A UserControl is created by a developer, and is basically one control with any number of other controls in it. You can check to see if there are any User Controls in your project in the Project Explorer (Ctrl+R).
One way to know exactly what class the control belongs to is to open your form in design mode (Shift+F7), click on the control, and look at the Properties window (F4). The drop-down list should show the currently selected control's class name in bold, then the name of the object.
What is the control's class? If it is anything other than TextBox, then this would explain the unexpected behavior you experienced.
how can i find the specific button on design mode where i have several buttons ie: hundered of buttons so that they all like spaghetti and one button may be under another button or a groupbox (i might be playing with the visibilities ) and i want to see my button number 83 on the design. how can i see him? where is he hiding? :) i use visual studio as an IDE. thanks.
MessageBox.Show(" where is the specific button? i know that he is somewhere on the form but cant distinguish it on the design since its somewhere under something i cant find it");
Use Document Outline (View - Other Windows - Document Outline)
Just pick the button from the tree and voila.
PS: this works for other types of designers (WPF/Silverlight, ASP.NET)
You can access it via the Properties Window. There is a drop-down that will list all of the items in your form in design mode.
Then use the drop-down. The drop-down will list all of the items on your form so you will scroll through the list to find Button number 83.
Images were pulled from MS Visual Studio: The properties Window which contains an explanation of the window.
Have you tried using the properties window?
I want to a html page inside a dynamically created silverlight child window without telerik control.
The telerik control isn't doing anything you can't do yourself with enough effort - it's all just transparent user code.
So, you could create <div> and position it carefully just like the telerik control does - but of course this can be a lot of work (that's why folks would want to pay for their control).
This also only works when the plugin is windowless, which has lots of trade-offs (see MSDN - for example, accessibility support is greatly reduced or gone entirely, I can't recall which).
In out-of-browser mode, you can use the WebBrowser control, in case that helps should you wish to make your app available OOB later.
