I have a dialog in an InstallScript Msi project (2008) and I'm trying to set some text in a label to bold, but can't seem to figure it out. I tried prefixing with {&STYLE_BOLD} (which is a predefined style), but it didn't help. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
InstallScript MSI dialogs use InstallScript's support instead of MSI's. Thus you will need to use CtrlSetFont. See the example in the help, or in the online help online help for InstallShield 2015 (CtrlSetFont hasn't changed in years).

I'm trying to hook a Window Form within Microsoft Excel itself like on the attached picture (This is an Addin called Kutools).
It is supposed to:
Fit on the right side of the Row number
Be Just below the name box
Be resizable and the window is resizable with it as well
Be collapsible or Expandable (like on the image)
I prefer to use the internal VBA of Excel to build and hook it as much as possible. But if I have to use an external Editor (Visual Studio C# or VB. Net ...) I'm willing to follow the instruction.
I searched all over the web but couldn't find a way to do this. I definitely appreciate your kind assistance on this.
Thanks for your help, I'm open to any suggestion!
If I am not mistaken, you are trying to create a custom task pane for Excel (add-in). If so, then this link might help you, but you need to build it with Visual studio using Office development tools:

I'm creating a custom ribbon in Excel, and I'm using ImageMso's for icons. I downloaded the full list of Icons from Microsoft, and tried to create a menu that displays them all for me to choose, but some of them are not displaying.
Is there any way to validate if an imageMso code does not work with the current version of windows, and display a placeholder in it's place instead of a blank icon?
Thanks,
Daniel
In my experience the short answer is no, but I also haven't investigated or attempted to resolve it with any great tenacity. If it doesn't show up I will retry with a different icon.
Note that I am not an expert by any means, but have been playing around with customUI for a while.
There is a great free Add-In I found that helps with speeding up the whole process of identifying suitable icons. It's worth checking it out.

PS. I hear this is particularly an issue going into the Office 2019.
Hee Guys,
I have not worked with this database tool but is it possible to set a default value for a column?
I want the default value to be 1 how can I achieve this. It think you have to change something in the properties.
Can you tell me how?
You can do that in two ways, by Management Studio GUI and by using t-sql. It described in following article, please check it out: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187872(v=sql.110).aspx
I have created a outlook addin for outlook 2013. No i need to create a wrapper.
First off if some one has a tutorial it would be great. Next am trying to create a new registry in which the path should be where i install the VSTO file.For this am using the following line in regsitry editor
[TARGETDIR]MyAddIN.vsto|vstolocal
However during install the [TARGETDIR] is replaced with J: which is just another drive. Not sure what am doing wrong please help. Also i have selected Primary Output to be the only thing that needs deploying. Howver am not able to find the VSTO file. Can someone shed some lights on this issue
First off if some one has a tutorial it would be great.
Here it is: Deploying an Office Solution by Using Windows Installer
Not sure what am doing wrong please help.
Are you creating Basic MSI type of project? Looks like you are messing with different values "INSTALLDIR" vs. "TARGETDIR". Please read on the difference: INSTALLDIR vs. TARGETDIR. Basically if you would follow the instructions from the tutorial, you should be fine. Take a time and read it through.
I noticed a strange behaviour in my VS2012 installation. I use VS2012 Pro and ReSharper 7. Intellisense is just not showing code suggestions anymore. I found a few related questions in my research but they always had a slightly different setup going and none could solve my problem:
Intellisense is working but, it's not showing the tooltip about selected member functions/Properties anymore.
If I take a look at the C# Text Editor Settings in
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> General
Most of the times the two necessary boxes Auto List Members and Parameter Information are selected. However, code suggestions in Intellisense don't work. Sometimes, when I look at the described settings, they are unselected.
Selecting them will make code suggestions work as in VS2010 but, only once. When I check the settings afterwards, they are most likely still selected, but code suggestions are not working anymore.
Some people suggested deleting the %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0 Folder, which did not work for me. I also tried to reset all changes, which also didn't help at all.
Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset
What in the world could make Visual Studio to just forget its settings and trigger such an irrational behavior?
-edit-
I display the code suggestions by pressing CTRL+Alt+Space. However, I have to press that shortcut every time I want to see the suggestions. It has to be possible to automatically display them every time, when possible?
I was having a similar problem, but I kept overlooking one small ReSharper Intellisense setting. I would double check that you have Symbol completion on in
ReSharper | Options | Intellisense | Completion Characters
Check out the answer with screenshots.
Thanks for all the tips, I figured out what I had missing:
I had to enable "Completion Appearance" -> "Show Summary".
I also accepted Anthonys answer because he linked to a detailed post with screenshots that shows all steps necessary. (Although the thing I had missing is not mentioned there)
ReSharper uses it's own code suggestions that override Visual Studio ones, that could be the reason why the ones in the Visual Studio settings may be disabled. Please check ReSharper options at ReSharper -> Options -> Environment -> IntelliSense. Maybe they are turned off there. If your ReSharper options are turned on but you still have no intellisense, then please ReSharper's support at http://www.jetbrains.com/support/
