Hi,
I want to make a software for trail use of 30 days or 15 days etc.
Please give me an idea.
Thanks,

They way I would do it is, after you install your program, store the date that your program was installed for the first time, and use DateTime function to add the days since ran. Then, if your program has been installed for 30 days, set a Boolean value that locks the interface (or however you want to discontinue access to your program).

Where would you store the values?
Usual user settings locations would be easy enough to find eg: isolated storage.
A key in the registry? You could create an algorithm for generating a key in the registry and just store the date with no other identifying informaiton. And then just leave the key there until a full version was installed.

In the program. Every time it starts up, it checks to see if it has been 30 days since it's been installed.

You mean as part of the binary? Have you got code samples or references?

Hi,
I have already tries this but there is one loose point.
If a user not changed his system date and runs our software at the same date in which date it installed, No way to increase run days.
Think about it and give me any more idea about this.
Thanks for your reply.

I think you've answered your own question there - use fewer controls on a form & create more forms.

Putting hundreds of controls on a form takes forever to create and initialize them all. The TabControl is one of the most grossly overused and abused controls in the ToolBox.
This is where you work WITH the client to work out these issues. Either they put up with the pathetic performance of creating all these controls or they work with you to reorganize the form so it's a balance between what they "think" they wanted and what is acceptable perfromance.
The TabControl is great for bloating the code in a form as to make it nearly totally unsupportable when it breaks or you have to add more stuff to the form.
Save you and your customer the pain later on and solve these problems now by limiting your use of the TabControl.

make a new form of your instance at the strting class and change its visible to false.
do this for all forms and whenever u want to view each form ,use form.show method and for closing wrtie form.hide and make a sub to update context of controls when it is going to be shown.

When the application starts check the date of when the C:\Program Files\Your Application\ was created or better yet use Registry to store an installation date that is encrypted. Only your application will be able to de-crypt the install date.

Hello,
SQL Server 2005, VS 2005
I have a checked list box. The user will select a combination of staff members from the checked list box. This will display these staff members and their tasks that they have to do. Also I have a additional 4 check boxes on the form, where the user can select the prority to be shown. i.e from the checked list box, check staff members 1, 5, 8, 12. and display the prority as high. There 4 prority check boxes (low, normal, urgent, and very urgent)
All are dislayed in a datagrid on the form.
Currently there a 15 staff member that will be in the checked list box, but this could grow as more stafff members are added.
My problem is Writing a select query for each of the possible combinations of staff members and the prority.
I could end up writing many many select queries for each combination.
Is there a simple way to write a select query for this type of situation?
Many thanks in advance,
Steve

You could read through the selection in the list box and build a comma delimtered string to use as a part of your query.
Something like this, where details is a list of fields you want to get back:
SELECT details
FROM StaffTable
WHERE StaffID IN (1, 5, 8, 12)

Thanks for your help,
That is the way i am trying to do it.

Hello,
I’ve developed ATL Control using VC++ 2003 to use it as GUI component for different programming environments. It works fine with .NET and Borland builder, but when I try to use it with VB6 or VC++6 I got ‘Permission denied’ error. It happened when I call ::GetClientRect(m_hWnd, &ClientRect) function, where m_hWnd is a private member of this control (handle of control’s window). What’s wrong? How to fix it?
Regards,
Leonid

I’ve been searching all over the web for the answer to this question I finally find it... and I have to pay to get it. 
to quote the article that describes my problem exactly (he does it well)
If you open an Explorer window and make a change via Tools -> Folder Options -> View, Explorer updates all currently opened windows with these changes.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for the mechanism that will do the same if I make a change to the same registry key.<br />
<br />
The key is located at "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced"<br />
<br />
An example would be setting HideFileExt to 0 and have explorer update the listview and show file extensions.<br />
<br />
Simply doing a refresh on the Window doesn't work as Explorer doesn't re-read the settings automatically.<br />
<br />
I have tried more than a few methods trying to get explorer to update itself without luck.<br />
<br />
I've sent:<br />
<br />
SendMessage(hWnd, LVM_UPDATE, 0, 0)<br />
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTINGCHANGE, 0, 0)<br />
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTINGCHANGE, SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS, 0)<br />
<br />
To individual windows and childs, and have tried HWND_BROADCAST as well.<br />
Have also tried SendMessageTimeout and PostMessage.<br />
<br />
SHChangeNotify SHCNE_ALLEVENTS, SHCNF_IDLIST, 0, 0<br />
<br />
And sending commands that try to force an update based on Icon changes do not work either.<br />
<br />
At best, I can get Explorer to eventually read the changes, but the timing is random.<br />
does anyone know the answer to this question? id kinda like to figure it out without spending my cash

So where did you find the answer to this?

I think following thing will work for you
SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, NULL, NULL);
