The IWebBrowser2 control has password edit boxes which are squares. This happened many years ago if you were on an XP machine, and you had a password edit field without a manifest file, you would get squares (no character found for the * they put in there with that font). My application has a manifest file. However I don't know how to give a manifest or set the theme or style of the control that is created. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Specify DOCHOSTUIFLAG_THEME in your implementation of IDocHostUIHandler.

<Application xmlns:xsi="w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">;
<VisualElements BackgroundColor="#FFFFFF" ShowNameOnSquare150x150Logo="off" ForegroundText="light" Square150x150Logo="Assets\150x150Logo.png"/>
</Application>
Your visual manifest only specifies a 150x150 image. You need to specify both:
Important If you opt for a custom image, you must specify an image
for both the Square150x150Logo and Square70x70Logo attributes. If you
specify only one of those attributes, this entire XML file is ignored
and the default styling (app icon and background) is applied to the
tile.
I created a sample and specified both images, and it works fine for me.
Also, don't forget to refresh the shortcut:
Step 7: Important! Refresh your shortcut file
If your app is already installed, you must nudge your shortcut after
the new or updated .VisualElementsManifest.xml is in place or it will
be ignored.
I've started using 'large' icons on my desktop. For a while I've also been including images > 32x32 in my Delphi Application. The result is a nice clean image display in all Windows display situtations. I know its rather picky, but i've just noticed that a compiled Innosetup package displays fuzzy - I presume its being scaled - and it occured to me that there must be a way of adding to or changing the default Innosetup image displayed for its EXE. You can see the effect in the image below. I have many icons available to me, so a solution for replacing the default icon would be great.
Ah I found it. To specify a custom icon for a setup application, use the SetupIconFile directive:
[Setup]
SetupIconFile="MyIcon.ico"
I have a Page in a Windows Phone class library. This page has an appbar. I would prefer everything this page needs to be included within the class library so the setup list for consumers of this page / assembly is minimal.
However, When I set ApplicationBar icons, they get added to the class library project under the folder 'icons' just like normal, they show up fine in Blend, but at runtime they are no where to be found!
When I put the icons in the Windows Phone Application project all is well. However this is not my desired scenario as it is additional configuration / setup by the application author to use my pages.
I tried using the resource pathing using /{AssemblyName};component/icons/{IconName} but of course the AppBar needs them to be of type "Content" not "Resource". So I am thinking this is impossible but I wanted to know if anybody out there figured out how to do this.
Sorry guys. I just figured it out. I changed the newly added icons from "Resource" to "Content" but I forgot to set "Copy if newer" so they weren't getting outputted to the Bin\Debug\icons folder of the windows Phone Application. something to keep an eye on I guess.
I am trying to make a web based dicom image viewer. I am using c# and asp.net. I am using Clear Canvas libraries found on www.clearcanvas.ca. The problem here is that when I try to export the jpeg images from dicom files the following message appears on them:
"The current configuration system does not support user-scoped setting"
On other forums I have found that this error can be removed by the application scope settings. I have tried that and still the message appears on the images. I have even shifted the user settings in app.config file to applicationsettings sections. Since web based solutions do not support user settings because the website has to run on the server. If some one has done this and removed this message from the images, then please share it here. I would really appreciate some help on removing this error. Thanks.
The ClearCanvas ImageViewer components were written to using several User settings. IIS based applications do not support user settings. An exception is occurring within the assembly due to the lack of support for user settings and placing it on the image.
There's a couple of solutions. You could go and modify the code by changing all of the settings to be application settings instead of user settings. You could also create a new .NET settings provider that supports user settings that could be used within IIS.
I have a simple vb6 editor type application which has a richtextbox as the editor page. It allows users to key in stuff and the store it into a file which will keep all the text in RTF stored as CDATA in xml.
When you load back the file, it will read it off the xml and load back the rtf. We allow for unicode editing, but my problem is I have a user which is using Windows XP, and they have some problems reading the chinese characters. They show up as gibberish in their pc.
It displays fine in both mine and a coworker's. I've already checked that they have the proper regional language and settings in their system. The install files for east asian language is already checked. And they can see chinese words on websites and even type them out.
I feel like I'm missing something here but I'm at a lost on what to check next? Any ideas on what I could test or check next?
my bad for the poor description skills, if anything is not clear just ask me.
thanks.

That is weird. Try confirming that your user have the same version of RICHTXT32.OCX ?
Could be a problem with font?
Try using font that supports unicode characters (Arial Unicode).
Or try going to a website with chinese characters and paste it into richtextbox, save it to a file and try loading it from the file.
Does that work?
well they should because i packed the app in vs installer setup package.
and for fonts, it's sim sun, and i've already checked with the users that they do have the sim sun fonts under window/fonts.
Btw i've already updated that the data is actually stored in xml under CDATA, although the rtf chunk is kept as it is.
okie, this seems to be the solution although i don't know why. in my msi setup file i've included the riched.dll so when i installed it in, the dll acts up and screw up my chinese character in the richtext control.
but when i repack to exclude that dll file and reinstall using that setup, it seems to work now...
