I`m struggling with this for a week already. I used this example How to get started with developing Internet Explorer extensions? and it works flawlessly even in Win 7 64 bit IE 10 but not in Windows 8 64 IE 10.
It loads up correctly but just does nothing, even with a simple MessageBox put in OnDocumentComplete(). Though I found people on different forums confirming they have made it run, so all I am asking is, just an example that works.
Thanks in advance.
"Register for COM interop" tick box in the Build section of the project properties did the trick. Funny enough any other combination of software and browser works fine without it.

I moved a few of my applications to WINDOWS 10 and one of the issue I noticed - which is not really an issue with functionality but rather the colors. Msgboxes seem to not have the top bar anymore (where TITLE goes) - it's actually there, but it's so light that it's difficult to see where the top bar is and the rest of the msg box. does anyone know how to tweak it so that it looks more defined just like it did when it was run in XP or Win7
The controls implemented from the OS. You need to change properties on the operation system. Maybe this could help:

To check a UI issue which was reported in IE9 i am using emulation mode in my IE 11.
If i inspect the element in IE 11 with out emulation it works fine but when i change the document mode to 9 and inspect the element it only shows blank
Have any one faced this issue and what is the solution for this??
I've noticed the same thing in IE 11 while running an older document mode on a page. Oddly, the DOM Explorer shows me content for the page, but will not show me the contents of IFrames on that page.
This has never been an issue in IE10 or older, so it's looking a lot like a bug or at least a limitation in IE 11, sadly.
I'm really interested to see if anyone has a workaround or fix for this?
Microsoft offers virtual machines that can be used for testing back to IE 6 under XP.
I have written a VB application in VS2010. When I try to record its operation for a demo video with Windows Media Encoder x64 or Apowersoft free screen recorder, I get a recording of everything on the desktop except my application. It's like the application is invisible to the recorder. It has worked in the past (2 weeks ago). It must be something I have done but I'm baffled. Is there a "feature" in VB that can prevent you from recording the Form?
BTW, a still screen capture works fine and sub forms I bring up are captured. Only the main form is invisible to the recorder.
Thank you for your help and time.
Not a VS or VB problem after all. What I found was that windows 7 was switching me from Aero Theme to Windows 7 Basic. The message that showed up was that I was low on display memory. (A quick pop-up in the bottom right corner that I was ignored during the recording). However, I have 4.75 G of display memory?
BTW on a video conf call it produced the same invisibility "feature" until I found the Theme switch.
I haven't actually fixed anything but now know to watch for the tell tale screen blink as it switches mode. I pause the recording, and switch it back before restarting the recording. Got through the recordings I needed for now. I was using MS Media Encoder. I have now replaced it with Adobe Premier elements but haven't tried it yet to see if I still have the problem. Need to get the "how to" videos out the door first.
Thanks again. I have read many of your Answers to others in the past that have helped me solve numerous other VB and VS problems.

That's weird since it's recording forms from the application and not other forms (main form) from the same application.
Make sure you run the recorder as administrator and not the application.
After Googling for about the past hour and a half, I have been unable to find out any definitive information on how the start menu and how windows 8 style applications work behind the scenes. I was under the impression that Windows 8 Style applications were processes which created fullscreen windows and that the Windows 8 start menu was created by explorer.exe in much the same way. But there are incompatibilities between Windows 8 the 1.x version Sysinternal's Desktops utility, I have to imagine that something more complex is going on.
However, in Spy++, each Windows 8 style application appears as standard Window with the WS_EX_TOPMOST style set, which would make sense, assuming they are nothing special. With respect to the Start Menu, it appears as a window of class ImmersiveLauncher created by explorer.exe. Perhaps explorer has developed an aversion to having multiple instances...
Using the old version of SysInternal's Desktops, the explorer instances in the additional desktops work fine, but do not load pinned items nor load the desktop background and icons.
Is there any documentation on why Windows 8 behaves differently from past versions when multiple copies of explorer.exe are running in different desktops?
(This is purely for curiosity's sake)
(Yes, I know there is a Desktops 2.0 version available which supports Windows 8, but it uses interesting workarounds, like switching to the original desktop when the windows key is pressed. It also seems to trigger some initialization within explorer.exe when the desktop is loaded for the first time beyond simply starting the process.)
I'm working through the RavenDB series on Tekpub, trying to do the same on my machine as what is going on in the videos. I'm creating the index as Oren has, with the Maps section as follows:
from user in docs.Users
from Tag in user.FavoriteTags
select new { Tag, Count = 1 }
However, when I click the "Add Reduce" button, nothing happens...nothing...it's like the click event has not registered. Any pointers as to why this may be?
Just started to investigate this problem with #kfuglsang and we found that installing:
Silverlight toolkit
- http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/43528
Silverlight 5 Developer Runtime for Windows 32-bit
- http://www.silverlight.net/downloads
on my Windows 7 x64 with Chrome v. 17 and IE 9, solved the problem.
However, we cannot account for this solution, but only observe that it seems to work.
