How can I integrate with the Windows Action Centre maintenance? - windows

Foxit Reader had a bug with the Firefox plugin that led to Firefox crashing when PDFs were opened. The Windows Action Centre was able to suggest a fix for the bug and link to a relevant thread in a forum. How can I similarly integrate my application with the Windows Action Centre?

This is done via registering your application with Windows Error Reporting. When you do this, you will have a dashboard of your most "popular" crashes, and if you find solutions to them, you can submit responses with links to how to fix it.

Cannot start web-simulator on google actions for API.AI project

I am working on Google Cloud Platform to develop a project in API.AI, I have an integration (in API.AI) with Google Actions (for Google Home or Google Assistant), they provide me to see my progress as real time in web-simulator, that you can find here:
https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/web-simulator
I am trying to START the web-simulator clicking on START button, then I get a window pop-up but after open, it closes, I try and try again but I obtain the same result, I cannot open the web-simulator. I have allowed the popup windows in my browser.
Of course I have completed all steps to start web-simulator...
I don't know what is happening. Someone can help me? Thank you, have a good day.
First, are you using a compatible browser? Try it in Chrome if you're
not already using it, as Chrome is a Google product, and so is the
web simulator.
Next, are you using any Ad-Blockers or
Script-Blockers like NoScript? If so, try disabling them, as they
could interfere with the operation of the tool.
If it still doesn't work, try going to an Incognito Windows by pressing the
three dots button and opening a New Incognito Window. Go to the page, and log
in. This will ensure that no cookies are interfering.
At this point, if you're still having issues, try a different browser.
(Either Firefox or Opera)

How to blink explorer in taskbar in windows

I have a web application.I want the browser window to blink in the taskbar when an activity occurs during minimize.
I do not want to blink the title using javascript(this is what I have seen in some websites and discussions)
I am only doing a research project, so I am not worried about having to install some code in the client machine. Is it possible that I allow the user to install something (like gmail notification) so that it provides the user a notification. The notification here is the blinking of the browser window.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sukesh
You would need to write an extension for the browser. This isn't something that can be done from the web page, but once you create and install a browser extension then you could activate it from the web page. If your browser choice isn't limited, I'd suggest Chrome. The Chrome Extensions community can be very helpful.

Monkey Talk ide (v1.0.30) there is no record button (Using fire fox)

Hi have you had a look at the monkeytalk user guide. it says firefox only in beta5 is that the version you are using
Can I test HTML5 web apps?
Yes, as of MonkeyTalk Beta5 we now support agents for iOS, Android, Flex, desktop web browsers (Firefox only in Beta5), and mobile web. So you can test HTML5 apps in both a desktop web browser and our bundled MTBrowser application.

How can I render HTML in a Silverlight 5 app?

I'm currently working on a project that renders emails in HTML format to a Silverlight 5 app. The app is intended to be viewed via a web browser and not an 'Out of browser' app. The WebBrowser control was initially used, but I'm having issues with it. A message stating that IE needs elevated permissions and such. After reading how to properly implement the WebBrowser control by signing the .xap file and installing certificates it seems to work when I run it locally, but when I publish to the server (Windows Server 2008), it doesn't seem to work.
I tried to implement an alternative I found -> http://blogs.msdn.com/b/delay/archive/2007/09/10/bringing-a-bit-of-html-to-silverlight-htmltextblock-makes-rich-text-display-easy.aspx, but that didn't seem to work as the HTML I'm trying to render has many tags not supported in that example.
I also took a look at the Frame control http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.frame(v=vs.95).aspx but not sure if that would solve my problem either.
So if anyone can guide me into the right direction of either how I can get the WebBrowser control to work when pushed to the server or perhaps another alternative it would be greatly appreciated.

Screensaver to cycle through webpages?

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to create a screensaver that can cycle through some webpages? I would like to create a screensaver that displays various dashboard and statistics pages that are available in our Hudson CI server. This is a windows machine, with firefox and IE available.
Extra bonus points if I can do it in ruby! :-)
Cheers,
Mike
I programmed a lot of screensavers in Delphi, but I think the following should be applicable to all sorts of development environments.
You create the main form of your screensaver and put an IE-control on it (or if your development environment does not support it, an OLE-container) and then create a timer which changes the webpage shown by the IE-control.
Sorry no solution in ruby....
Ok, so after a few false starts I found a pretty simple solution. I used Visual Studio Express Edition to create a windows forms application. You just need to drag a WebBrowser control onto the form and resize to full screen at startup. Then all you have to do is hook up the event handlers to deal with the mouse and keyboard.
Some more details here:
