How can you detect the version of windows common controls installed at
run-time? I want to implement the ListViewXP (flicker-free) but still
need to support non-XP computers (which will have flicker). http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/listviewxp.asp
Thanks,

Hi Sam,
One way is to check whether the new function is provided by the
COMCTL32.dll(wi ndows common controls):
Determine COMCTL32 version http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/syst...cle.php/c2851/
(You call those Win32 API by PInvoke)
And in your scenario, I think maybe query the machine's Windows
version(Windows XP, 2003 or not) is enough...
Thanks!

What does ListViewXP do that using .BeginUpdate and .EndUpdate don't take
care of already?

They're not really related at all. BeginUpdate and EndUpdate tell the
ListView that you are adding a number of items and not to make changes
until all are done, kinda like a transaction.
The ListViewXP code enables double-buffering to remove the flicker.
The flicker is not related to adding/removing item but happens
whenever you resuze the listview or change it's attributes, even
without adding and removing items.
HTH,
Sam

I think I'll take his suggestion and just check for OS version--much
simpler and no real down-side.
Thanks,

Hi, I am trying to determine if the current OS supports alpha channel, to

the manifest file to load Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls 6 (and enable XP
themes) isn't there on Windows XP, the icons with alpha channel are loaded
but don't appear correctly. Would it be possible to detect the version...

Hello,
I am trying to find code that will detect if a browser as the Adobe or
any PDF plugin. I am writing a subscription only site that needs
access to view "pages" in a book that could have as many as 3000 pages
in it. To do this I am using 2 frames one that contains controls to be
able to navigate between pages and the other to display the "streamed"
pdf file.
Does anybody know a script that will do this for all browsers?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
