Those are the only four I've tested so far. Will try the rest a bit later (unless someone beats me to it).

[featured_spectre]

Thanks for that so far

[featured_spectre]

I have added in the function whereby if you click the edugeek logo (on any of the tabs) it loads up to the edugeek homepage

[featured_spectre]

Oh and I have also made it glass like

Enjoy people

Custom Proxy Bug Fixed...also denies you if you insert a " , " symbol.

 

Enjoy

here is a screenshot btw (which is why I need a new high quality png of the banner)...

[featured_spectre]

anybody got any issues at all???

[ihaveaproblem]

No problems here.

The only little thing I see is ( WHich doesnt effect useability at all) when I click on the 'about' tab and move my cursor over the copyright statement my cursor changes into the loading animation.

[featured_spectre]

Designed like that so it can't be copy and pasted....well that's the theory....

Transparancy does not work right on windows xp, must be a vista / win 7 thing only ?

[featured_spectre]

Correct...

[mac_shinobi]

Correct...

 

network details --> ip details --> click button

 

Message boxes, why not insert these into a label or multi line textual field when you click the button or even on clicking on the network details tab

Waste of time IMO. People who want the text can still copy it, while everyone else will wonder why the cursor has changed into a spinning circle.

Totally agree

 

Like on our work intranet they have stopped people from right clicking so you can't copy any content, quick Ctrl and C , jobs a good one.

 

Just makes it annoying when people do stuff like that, and its still easy enough to get around if you really want the content

Still not working 100% on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64. Should I wait until the C# version is released?

When I have full access to a win 7 x64 machine, I'll be able to sort it. I am unfortunately going by the server 2008r2 command paths.

You can get a windows 7 enterprise x64 90 day trial if its any good to you

Windows 7 Enterprise | Trial, Evaluation, Test, Download

 

Guess you could put it on a VM or spare computer if you have one.

My c# recode has no 64bit issues at all, I have tested in both x64 and x86 without issue so it will cure these problems.

OK, some sage advice (I've done truckloads of multi-platform Windows stuff) that is intended to be constructive, alternatively might be patronising but I can't judge that:

 

1) Ensure you compile your dotNet code for "Any CPU"

 

2) As Arthur suggested a while back you can run nearly all the native utilities from dotNet code without caring about where they live i.e. just with "gpresult.exe" rather than "c:\windows\system32\gpresult.exe". The process class works for everything I've ever wanted to run and that is a lot, the only issues I've had are the waiting for apps that in turn spawn other apps then terminate variety i.e. inherently more complex.

 

3) If you must have paths because whatever you're using insists, then everything important tends to be in exactly the same folder on both platforms e.g. "c:\windows\system32\gpresult.exe" gets you to that util on both 32-bit and 64-bit. [On 64-bit, the "system32" folder is where all the native 64-bit utilities and DLLs live]

 

4) If you do have references to a path beginning "c:\windows" then don't - get hold of the %windir% environment variable to get the actual windows folder path and then append "\system32" or whatever to that.

 

5) If you have to reference the same full path like "c:\windows\system32" in a lot of places and one basic form class, then have a class-global e.g. systemPath, assign it during initialisation (remembering the %windir" point) and use that everywhere else in your code. If you're Being Very Good[tm] you can have a separate class for this instead of a global, but I wouldn't bother unless I had lots of globals that need to be referenced from several classes.

 

6) Don't compile for dotNet 4 unless you have a serious requirement for some dotNet 4 feature - I always use the oldest I can get away with because it's bound to be more prevalent (dotNet2 is my minimum and what I mostly target).

Version 1.5 is out

 

Updates

 

Rewrote the entire application in C#.

 

Removed proxy settings (in the end I simply could not justify adding in 50 different proxies, and I removed all references for them, including removal of the custom proxy)

Removed the about section (will add in a readme at a further point covering all licenses)

 

Installation package now adds a "help desk support" feature which links to this page (webaddress to change when the app gets its own forum @ZeroHour reminder ) lol

 

Removal of Edugeek Logo

 

Entire application is in AeroGlass mode (for vista and 7)

 

Bug fixed 99% of the 64bit issues, should be none but cannot guarantee this

 

 

*disclaimer*

 

This application is in debug mode only, so please let me know of any errors!

[featured_spectre]

any issues yet people?

[featured_spectre]

anybody, anything?

[featured_spectre]

I am guessing all is good with the application so far then?
