View 2 RepliesI wrote a small app we use on our computer to keep them running optimally and do some utility things (delete temp files, defrag drives, clean registry, backup my docs to the server, etc). One of the options I ahve in there is "Reset Windows to Defaults" and the objective was to setup windows how we normally would set them up before we give them to our users. So if a user messes with all his/her settings we can click this button and reset it all back. So far it resets IE settings, changes Window Explorer views, puts all the default icons on the desktop and turns off desktop cleanup, etc. Well one of the last things I want to do is change to the default Windows XP theme and apply it. After a lot of searching the internet I found this:
[Code]...
It does reset colors and stuff back to the theme. The problem is if a user has "Windows Classic" set and this is run it does apply the theme.....mostly. Things like dialog boxes stay in classic while the menu structure and desktop go the XP style. If you go into display properties it still shows "Windows Classic" but under Appearance it shows "Windows XP" which leads me to believe even though this function is for themes its actually just applying the appearance and not actually setting the theme.
I am currently writing a website for a company to display their products to their customers. One of the things I am putting into it is the ability to add news items onto the homepage, only part of the admin side of the site.
I have managed to extract some news items from the database, and display them dynamically in a Web User Control which I have added to Default.aspx. I have managed to add buttons for "Update" with events. The problem is that, on clicking one of these update buttons, the page reloads with the theme applied (as it should), but the css files from the theme do not apply - the body text is bigger than it should be and changes back to the default font. I know the skin files apply as I have tried setting all button backgrounds to black by default. The css files seem to apply to any text which is generated from clicking an update button (I have it so it writes the title of the news item for the button that was clicked. This text is the size and font it should be). I have spent HOURS trying to work out why this is happening, with loads of Googling but no success. It is almost as if the theme is being applied between the PageLoad event and the ButtonClick event, but the skin files would say otherwise. Does anyone know why this is?

View 1 RepliesAs the title says, I'd like to know how I can get the program name but from an extension OR the "Open With: (program)" information.A kind lad here has advised me on using the registry which contains details of all default applications but I've no idea how I can go ahead of that. I've tried searching and using almost all properties of FileVersionInfo but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Right now, what I'm trying to do is to select a path from OpenFileDialog and use Button1 to launch the executable path. However, at the same moment, I'd like to take down the program used to launch the executable path.
Meaning, if the filename is Index.ppt, I would want to record in a textbox that the Program Name is Microsoft Office Powerpoint instead of the usual Index.ppt.
The only way I think is possible is by retrieving the information from the "Open With: (Program)" row in the Properties panel of the file but there seems to be no way of getting it. So any help possible? (:
EDIT: FileVersionInfo.FileDescription property only works for default programs(e.g.QuickTime Player / Microsoft Office Word) and not any subs for it so that won't work in this case.

View 4 RepliesI'm currently writing a football management game (Australian football) and would like to pretty it up a bit. The match engine simulates each player as a small circle, much like the old Championship Manager games. While I'm fine with this style, I'd like to improve the look. I'm just using the simple graphics tools in VB to draw circles and the oval in the background which they play on. They move around using a timer. It just doesn't look very good. The movement isn't smooth and the circles look jaggy and unprofessional. Given that I'd ultimately like to release this product, I want to make it look a lot better.
What are some 2D graphics engines that I should look at? I don't need fancy animations or anything, just some nice smooth movement and nice looking circles. Doesn't seem like I'm asking for much does it? It'd be also nice if I could add in a chrome-like look or something along those lines.
As for the menus and such, well, they are currently just the boring grey VB style. That's fine for now but, as mentioned earlier, I want to release this game at some point. How can I change all of the menus and such so that this doesn't look like a game made in visual basic...basically. I've seen skins before but I'm not really interested in giving my game some generic style. I want to be able to customize all of it for myself. I just don't know how to! Simply fiddling with the colours and fonts of the default VB controls isn't enough.
