Check if a shape is in visible area
Hi, I need to know if a specified shape is in the visible page area or if the user need to scroll to see the specified shape. Exists there a property (VBA) to check this out? Best Regards from Munich Christian Hello from Seattle. You can test a shape for visibility in a window by comparing the shape's BoundingBox to the window's ViewRect. The sample code below checks the first shape on the active page, and scrolls it to the center of the page if it is not fully visible. Hope that helps! -Jason --- Sub CheckVisibility() Dim WinLeft As Double, WinTop As Double Dim W As...

Drag n' Drop emails to a Java application
Hi, We are developing a Java application where we want to import information received in e-mails. The email client are Outlook 2003 (at least for now).

Do I have to use COM and/or OLE for doing such operations? Please help me!! Best Regards Joacim ...

Drag and drop with CRichEditCtrl
I have an application that makes heavy use of the rich edit control. One of the things I needed to do was to customize text when it is pasted or dropped onto the rich edit control. This wasn't too hard to do: I have an object implementing IRichEditOleCallback attached to the rich edit, and in the QueryAcceptData() method I modify the data as needed before adding it to the control. My problem comes with drag and drop, specifically with the "move" drop operation. Following the MSDN documentation, my QueryAcceptData() method returns S_FALSE to indicate that it's processed the d...

My Drag Image Flickers
Hi guys, My drag image flickers, I understand the cause of this (I think) but I don't know how to fix it. I use this to auto-scroll during a drag and drop: // in OnTimer() m_pDragImage->DragShowNolock(FALSE); SendMessage(WM_VSCROLL,MAKEWPARAM(SB_LINEDOWN,0),NULL); m_pDragImage->DragShowNolock(TRUE); So since I'm hiding it, then showing it again, it flickers. Can I fix this ? Thanks, Robert A. ...

Drag and Drop Emails
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Email Client: Exchange Within entourage, when I drag and drop an email from my inbox to another folder, it &quot;copy/pastes&quot; it instead of moving it permanently so it stays in the original location where I was trying to move it from. Seems the only way around this is to right click on the email and select &quot;Move to&quot; and then select a folder (but I have dozens of folders and this is not quick at all). <br><br>Is there a way to change my settings so when I drag and drop emails, it's a &am...

drag and drop
I am running Word 07 with Vista. I've lost my "drag and drop" function for moving text in my recent documents. I can select text, but when I click a second time to get the "dragging" arrow, nothing happens and I can't move the text. The option to enable this function under "Advanced" IS checked. I can still cut and paste. I am a freelance editor and have recently installed some templates with macros and add-ins, and I have attached one of them to my normal.dotx for regular use. However, I can't 100% for sure link the problem to that (timi...

How To Show Drag Image while Dragging Item?
I use MFC 4.2. There are 2 CListCtrls in my app. I am implementing a drag and drop function from one list to another. How to show the drag image when I still choose which item that will accept the drop? Thank you. You can use a CImageList and store a drag image. Look at functions like CImageList ::BeginDrag, CImageList::BeginDrag | CImageList::EndDrag | CImageList::DragMove | CImageList::DragLeave. -Seetharam This article may be interesting to you. It's a little older, but it is still useful information: http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/controls/listview/dragdrop...

Visio drags...
After you Draw text box(or any other draw etc tool), you HAVE to click pointer tool if I want to select an arrow(or anything else, or drag multiple objects for that matter). Else it wants to draw more textboxes. after drawing a Text box If, I click on that same text box or another arrow, it should understand that I want to simply SELECT that thing. Left clicking on an existing textbox(and other things) makes it go in edit mode.(different from Publisher and other s/w, where it goes in edit mode AND shows a drag/resize box) So to drag resize in Visio, I have to right click it, press Escap...

How to drag data in cells without dragging the formats
As I wrote in the subject box, how can I just drag the data without changing the borders and formats etc. in the original and destination cells? I know the hold down the control button trick, but for the people that don't even want to do that, is there a way to drag and drop the normal way? Teach then to rightclick on the autofill button and drag. When they let go, they'll see a bunch of options. (and someday, they may want a different one!)

Drag and drop stops working after a few hundred drags
Drag and drop stops working after a few hundred drags. I use the COleDataSource object to initiate the drag and a custom class object deriving from COleDropTarget to receive the drop. Everything works fine until a few hundred drags later, when all of a sudden, an exception is thrown, and my OnDragOver, OnDragDrop, OnDragEnter functions do not get called anymore at all. After investigating further, i noticed that it seems as though my window control is not "registered" anymore to as a drop target, because when calling Revoke and Register again on the DropTarget object, it starts ...
