I recently took over a project at work that has a GUI written in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, which I am not familiar with. The original developer of the GUI is no longer with us, and nobody else here is familiar with Visual C++ 6.0. The MSDN collection was apparently never installed, and we are missing our installation material. On top of that, it appears Microsoft's documentation site is down.
Fortunately, I don't have to do much work with the GUI. All I need to know right now is how to determine if a radio button is checked. Could someone please instruct me?
It is clearly mentioned in the Microsoft's documentation here about the radio button checked property. Hope this helps.

I need to get changes to a sensitivity label done by clicking the Ribbon item in Microsoft Word.
Does anyone have sample code on catching event changes for sensitivity labels in particular for VSTO C#?
We are using ribbon XML and not ribbon designer and extending AddInBase to start up the word application.
I have tried Document events. I have tried Commands.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I can't find much documentation for VSTO
These are some VBA references.
You can try using the Document.SensitivityLabel property on ThisDocument/ActiveDocument and listen to the SensitivityLabel.LabelChanged event
The answer is a mixture of #cs answer and #Dimitry's answer (I don't have enough reputation points to mark that your comment was very useful). So thank you very much both of you for your assistance
VSTO no longer has support, so visual studio office tools include interop dll v15.0.0 for .net framework version 4.7.2. On our development machine, we have office 365, which from what I read means the latest interop dll will be installed as part of the installation process which has Microsoft word object library v 16.0
Adding Lastest interop to Visual Studio as a com reference
However visual studio still did not update the interop interfaces. What I had to do was change the wrapper property in the csproject from
<WrapperTool>primary</WrapperTool> to <WrapperTool>tlbimp</WrapperTool>
This updated the interfaces and allowed me to get access to the Document.SensitivityLabel object.
So thank you to all that commented it was greatly appreciated.
and I was wondering if there was a way to get this style of MenuStrip:
in a WinForms application, instead of this style:
I've already tried browsing through the different appearances Visual Studio offers, but I think it might be the version of the .NET framework I'm using, which is 4.5, I'm fairly certain.
Edit: Sorry, I should have said this before, but I'm using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010.
I've found the solution. Just simply replace a MenuStrip with a ToolStrip, and but the RenderMode property to "System". I feel rather silly now heh
I found the solution.Right click on toolbar and click Choose Item.Now select .Net Framework click Main Menu.
Now use it. But I have windows 7 and visual basic 2010 express...
Is this possible? I installed them, but they don't appear. Do I have to import them or something?
If you cannot see the Chart control in the Toolbox, right click in the Toolbox, select Choose Items, and then select the following namespaces in the .NET Framekwork Components tab:
System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting
System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting
Please, take a look: How use MS chart control with VS 2010?
I haven't tried it with VS2010, but I would assume the process for using it is exactly the same as described there for other versions of VS. It won't appear in the tool box until you instal the add-ons
According to this blog post from January 2010:
The Microsoft Chart Control is available as separate installation for .NET Framework 3.5 and will be included in .NET Framework 4.0.
It could be that the controls haven't been updated to work with VS2010 because of this. If they're not in the Beta 2 by default (I don't have it installed on this machine to check) then it might be that they're only going to be included in the full release.
The Chart controls are included in version 4. Here's where you can find the types:
ASP.NET:

Winforms:

I have a problem with the style of the button in a messagebox.
If I call the following line of code in a current project the button get one type of visual apperance/style. And If I create a new VB.NET Windows Application project it gets a standard Windows apperance/style.
Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Yaay", "Yaay!", Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK)
See the difference between the buttons below.
I suspect they inherit the visual apperance from it's parent or maybe from some project settings. But I have not been able to find out from where.
Both projects are created in VB.NET 2.0, and both have same System.Windows.Forms - dll as reference (c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Windows.Forms.dll).

Screenshot can be found here.
Thanx in advance for your help!
I cannot see the image from where I am so I'm not sure if this will help you.
Open the Project Properties for each solution and look at the Application tab.
Is the "Enable Applicaton Framework" item ticked? And if so, is the "Enable XP Visual Styles" item also ticked?
That may the difference in the two solutions.
Basically, what I want to is be able to explore an ActiveX DLL.
I normally fire up VB 6, add the DLL to the "References" of the project, and use Object Explorer.
However, in this particular machine I can't install VB / VS.
I'm sure there's a tool out there that does this. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks
If the machine has Microsoft Office installed, you can go into the built-in Visual Basic for Applications IDE and load the object there:
Tools menu -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor (or press Alt+F11)
Then when inside the VBA window, Tools menu -> References -> Browse to locate your DLL
and View menu -> Object Browser to view the object's content (or press F2)
I've used Microsoft's OLE/COM Object Viewer for this. It used to be installed with older versions of Visual Studio, and is still part of the Windows SDK.
It also seems to be available separately -- this is from an older version of the Windows SDK, but I don't imagine this tool has changed much recently.
To view the type information for a particular DLL or OCX, File, View TypeLib... is the option you're looking for. You can also dig through the Controls group in the main window to view details on a registered control. Right-click the entry for the control and click View Type Information to see details on the types and methods it exposes.
This will show rather more information than VB6 would. If you're looking at an ActiveX control, the coclass and dispinterface sections of the type library display are the things to look at.
(There's also an Expert Mode option in the View menu -- this will show you pretty much everything stored in the Registry to do with COM, OLE and ActiveX. This is generally rather a lot of information...)
Is it possible to download the component from that machine and examine it locally in Visual Studio? (That'd be my first suggestion.) (And BTW, the .NET versions of Visual Studio also feature a VB6-like Object Explorer which works nicely for this.)
Alternatively, and it's not free, but you might try ActiveXplorer. (I haven't tried this, but it looks promising.) (Discontinued)
