The Ultimate Scheduler Touch Experience for WinForms(blogs.telerik.com)

submitted by vaskess(110) 2 months, 4 days ago

‘Touch’ is everywhere around us. We use it daily in our lives thanks to the touch-enabled devices – mobile phones, tables, kiosk stations. Touch navigation just feels more natural and pleasant to the end-user than using some kind of a pointing device, such as a mouse or a track-ball. Today, we are going to reveal.... read more...

Virtual Router – Turn any Windows 7 PC into Wireless Access Point(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 3 months ago

It’s an app that unleashes the “Virtual WiFi” and Wireless Hosted Network features of Windows 7 to turn a PC into a Wireless Access Point or Hot Spot. Well, I looked into what it would take to build such an app, and it really wasn’t that difficult since Windows 7 has all the API’s built in to do it. After some time of looking things up and referencing the “Wireless Hosted Network” C++ sample within the WIndows 7 SDK, I now have a nice working version of the application to release. I’m calling this project “Virtual Router” since it essentially allows you to host a software based wireless router from your laptop or other PC with a Wifi card. Oh, and did I mention that this is FREE and OPEN SOURCE! read more...

7 on 7: Windows Multitouch (blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 3 months ago

Windows Multitouch, in my opinion, is the most emotive new feature of Windows 7. From the kids at home to the audiences to whom I’m demoed Windows 7, there’s something fresh and fun about being able to manipulate an application with simple hand gestures. We’ve all used touch screens in some form before, whether it be a tablet PC, your ATM, or a mall kiosk, but generally you’re just substituting your finger for a mouse. Multitouch is different; it mimics the way we work with physical objects and as such opens up a new world of user interaction scenarios. read more...

Using IProgressDialog to show Progress Dialogs in Win 7 / Vista(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 3 months ago

Well, I was looking through some more of my prototypes that I’ve written and I came across the following example of how to use the IProgressDialog Win32 Interface to harness the power of the Built-in Progress Dialog in Windows within your own .NET applications. I have test this on WIndows 7, but it should work as expected on Windows XP and Vista. The MSDN Documentation for IProgressDialog says it’s minimum supported operating systems are Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The full source code for this example is listed below. Just copy from this post and paste it within your app to test. read more...

http://blog.dotsmart.net/2009/06/24/using-windows-7s-xp-mode-to-run-ie(blog.dotsmart.net)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 3 months ago

Windows 7’s XP Mode is essentially a Windows XP virtual machine that runs in the new Windows 7 version of Virtual PC. This new edition of Virtual PC includes cool features such as seamless windows. The main reason I’m interested in this is to run older versions of Internet Explorer for testing purposes. IE8’s compatibility mode does a pretty good job of emulating IE7 but there are differences, so I investigated how to get “real” IE7 running under Windows 7’s XP Mode, without losing IE6. read more...

Advanced Integration of Virtual PC 7 / XP Mode(wunger.spaces.live.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 3 months ago

VMLauncher allows you to open any file or folder from your local host system in a specified Virtual Machine. This improves the integration of Windows Virtual PC. There is no need anymore to open the Virtual Machine in Desktop Mode to install a new application! You can open any program, file or folder directly from your Windows 7 Desktop. Just right click on the application, file or folder and select the “Open in Virtual Machine” and it will open in the selected Virtual Machine but will run directly on your Windows 7 Desktop. read more...

Windows 7 Product Lines Announced(geekswithblogs.net)

submitted by sdorman(1415) 3 years ago

Microsoft today announced the new product line for Windows 7. In some ways the new Windows 7 product line follows the same ideas of Windows Vista, but the big differences are that each Windows 7 edition is a superset of the previous edition (which means that each higher edition will have every feature of all lower editions) and they will be focusing primarily on two editions of Windows 7: Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional. read more...

Windows 7 - Natively Booting from a .VHD file (Virtual PC image)(bink.nu)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years ago

Most important thing to keep in mind is that we currently cannot boot from any kind of .VHD. Actually, I have just managed to boot from a Windows 7 installed on a new .VHD, and I installed it right from the Windows 7 DVD. We can do a similar process with "Windows Server 2008 R2 (beta)" installed on a .VHD file, as well. read more...
