Because it is not were the config file is it is what is inside the config file.
The config file looks like:
to make sure it all displays properly in my replay -->
That seems to me to be the problem. I could do the installs myself and tweak it if necessary, but wanted the install to be unattended.
Sorry if my understanding is not that great, have not done tomany .net vb programs before.

So where is the config file kept? If it's in the bin directory then you should be able to specify "nameofhelp.chm" rather than "C:\...\nameofhelp.chm".

I admit I have not written mamy Microsoft Demployment solutions, most of my resent stuff has been asp and aspx.
But as my manager has pointed out when you typically run an install the location of the
application is not written in stone (maybe it has to be for this?).
Typically you can install to any folder, say someone has there applications on the d drive instead of c.
So if possible (and I admit I am not an expert) it would be nice to be able to give the end user an install and have them just run it.
The config file which has inside of it the address to the .chm (help) file is installed with the application. It is that hard coded address inside the config which is the result of the HelpNamespace set inside the application. I have tried to dynamically set HelpNamespace but has not worked yet.
If I do not come accross a more eligent solutions I will just have to force and install to the same place and move on.
I can now see why some applicaitons set the help file to a web address, that too may be how I go. It just seems that there would be a more easy way to include the .chm but I have not coded an application using it before, oh well.

Well i feel stupid now.
I did try your suggestion by modifying the config file to just relative path and it failed. But I thought what the heck I will just recompile and setup again and it worked.
So thank you and I feel stupid, oh well, such is life.

Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction.
A couple things I have questions to anyone out there as well.
1..How and where can I get Crystal References 9.2.3300.0. I have CR 8.5 which have the wrong version
2..What is and where is REGWIZ.MSM
I am running .Net 2003
|
|
|
|
|
I get the message "Invalid or Missing Keycodev2.dll" when I try and run a Crystal Report in a PC that I have deployed a system that uses Crystal Reports.
1. The deployed PC does not have Crystal Reports package
2. I created the reports in CR 8.5 and link the viewer Reportsource to the file paths
3. I have tried registering keycodev2.dll
Any ideas on what I have done wrong?

It would appear that there is a problem with the "sound1" object. What type is "sound1"?

Your talking about locking your application if it sits idle too long?
This is better left up to the O/S... But...
Look into the Application.Idle[^] event. You can start a Timer when this event fires. You'll also have to handle the MouseMove and KeyDown events for your form to stop this Timer. When the Timer's Tick or Elapsed event fires, you can "lock" your app however you want.
But, like I said, this is better left up to the O/S because if your app is idle while the user is using another app, it'll lock your app and make it a pain if the a$$ for the user to unlock your app when they expect it to be working, and unlocked, like every one windows app they have running at the same time.

Can anyone give me the difference between the use of implements and the use of inherits
thanks in advance

inherits is used for class inheritance, implements for interface inheritance.
The differences are:
1) A Class may only inherit from one base class
2) A Class may implement many interfaces.

Hi
Inherits(Inheritence) is used when you want to write a new class by taking(Inheriting) the functionality provided by an already existing class. By inheriting, you can enhance(override) a function in the derived class.
"Implements" is implementing a given functionality.Here you write the code from scratch.You only have a method declaration and not definition.
To summarize, inheritance is for a class and "implements" is for a interface.

Hello
I have added horizontal scroll bar to a combo in VB.NET by calling SendMessage(ComboBox1.Handle, CB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT, 1000, 0), but the scroll bar does not appear. Also I want to add a tooltip for the highlighted item in a dropdown but i dont have a event on listbox portion of a combo.
Please help.
Thanks

That doesn't add a horizontal scrollbar. It just sets the extent to which it can scroll IF one was visible. The ComboBox has to be created with a WS_HSCROLL style bit set, upon its creation, in order for a horizontal scrollbar to show up, but the .NET control isn't created with this bit set.
In order to do this, you'll have to create your version of the ComboBox class by inheriting from ComboBox and overriding a couple of things. This should get you started...
Public Class ComboBoxEx ' or whatever you want to call your version
Inherits ComboBox
Private Declare Auto Function SendMessage Lib "user32" ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal Msg As Integer, _
ByVal wParam As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As IntPtr) As IntPtr
Private Const CB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT As Integer = &H15E
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As System.Windows.Forms.CreateParams
Get
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
cp.Style = cp.Style Or &H100000 ' This turns on the WS_HSCROLL bit.
Return cp
End Get
End Property
Protected Overrides Sub OnDropDown(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' You might want to add some code to figure out how long the longest item is first!
SendMessage(MyBase.Handle, CB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT, widthInPixels, 0)
MyBase.OnPaint(e)
End Sub
End Class

Using the standard control, there is no way to determine which item the mouse is hovering over, therefore, no way to put up a meaningful tooltip on a per-item basis. You'd have to create your own version of the ComboBox that exposes this. I've seen examples in C++ and MFC that do this, but nothing for C# or VB.NET.

Thank you very much.
I am able to get the highlighted item in a combo box by using SendMessage(ComboBox1.Handle, CB_GETCURSEL, 0&, 0&). But I dont have an event fired when the mouse moves over the list box portion of combo box. Is there a way to do it?
