I assume if I go down ActiveX then each person who uses the webapp would need installed a copy of word? ===================== Insider 4 year 'on the fly' programmer C, C++, C#, MFC, Basic, Java ASP.NET

Yes sort of but on the application side in the past I was able to get the word's parent window reassigned to my form window so it would open up inside the application. I guess I was hoping to do the same thing with an ASP Page: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/winwordcontrol.asp...

I'm typically a Application guy but recently came across a need for a page to contain a "control" which supports word processing type capabilities. Immediately my head went back to a time where I used the MS Office components to have instances of excel and word inside my application for easy...

Thanks. Last question, is there a way to remove the points I've already drawn but keep the pictureBox.Image in tact? the only picture.CreateGraphics().Clear() asks for a color and overrights the image (until resize etc)./ ===================== Insider 4 year 'on the fly' programmer C, C++...

Basically, I have a picture box which I would like to display "points" on it in one of two ways: 1. Prefered would be to draw an actual point on or on top of the picture box 2. Modify the image to change the pixel (do not want to do). Also is there an easy way to get the scale factor of the...

Okay maybe I jumped the gun on the topic. I got the event working great.... Unfortunately when the worker thread dies, the timer (created on the worker thread) doesn't stop. There are cases where there is a low level exception occuring that even a generic "Exception" doesn't catch (seems to...

Hi there. I'm building an application which spawns a number of threads to do a lot of different simple unit style tasks. While everything seems to be nearly exception free there is a case maybe every couple days of runtime that something throws an exception. The problem is that the...

Hi. We have an application that we (for performance reasons) would like to compile into native code at build inside of 1st run. What is the best way to do this? I also understand the downside to this but we are certain we need this for immediate speed as the JIT compiling is too slow for...

I'm looking at moving away from our custom designed GDI graphics and toward DirectX for a simple display surface that does two things: 1. Display a bmp quickly 2. Display colored points on the bitmap 3. Display rectangles on the bitmap Seems easy but I haven't had time to look into Managed...

kwhitefoot, your post is correct, for speed alone, Windows and .Net are certainly not the best methods of choice. Unfortunately we find ourselves in a sort of twisted dance between quick to market, as fast as possible, and as object oriented as possible. We felt .Net 2.0 with generics, queues...

Hi chiph. You just gave me an incredible idea for all this!!!!! It would be possible for us to query the number of processors and spawn the lowest level classes on the same core which would actually help us in many ways. once i have the results i'll repost back to see how this works...

Thanks for the responses. There is something that I left out and just is bad is the responders are assuming that we are running on a single CPU with a single core. We currently have 16GB of memory are running Windows x64 and have 4xDual Core Opterons running the system. The application isn't...

I think there might be some misunderstanding. here we are not concerned with thread safety, what we are worried about is a function that (because windows is oh so smart) tries to leave before the work is done and then comes back to finish later. Our issue is that we have a separation of...

We have a manufacturing machine with multiple threads that perform very repetitive work. We would like to keep a thread doing it's work until a function is done. In java I guess it's called "critical sections" (could be wrong) where you can force the function to finish before the processor...

Thanks, I ended up doing that last week after not getting any responses. My problem with the application is that it needed to be a background app that would always be running so unfortunately I spent some additional time placing a tray icon, over riding the closing events etc. Good news is...
