Is there a means to duplicate the toolbar so it shows at the top and bottom of the report page? It can be a pain on long reports to scroll up to the top of the page in order to use various functions.
In my searching, I found this link about extending the ReportViewer control. Has anyone worked with it?
It is extremely easy to recreate the toolbar. I would recommend creating a custom toolbar, and placing it twice, where desired.
All the report functions can be called with ReportViewer.Function() calls.
You will need to handle Pagination, printing, export file.
To make this easy on you, here is a codeproject link to get you off your feet.
Custom Toolbar
It is what I used to get started on creating my custom toolbar.

I have a complex Filemaker database with multiple tables and layouts. What I would like to do is to add a toolbar to each layout. This, of course in view of maintainability of my database solution.
Of course, I could create a nice row of buttons (for example in the header of the layout) and copy past this to each separate layout. However, this is not really a great solution from a maintenance pont of view (if you want to change something you need to do so multiple times).
So... is there another way?
I am looking for something similar to e.g., include in php:
<?php
include 'header.php';
?>
Is there such a thing?
Not really. It could be achieved, mostly, with a bit of extra work. There is nothing out of the box, although you might find some samples on the web.
The closest thing in FileMaker is button bar with styles. Even this will not auto-update by default across different layouts.
You can use a webviewer based on a global field.
Another solution for older versionsis to use a portal with records creating buttons and a script which will do staff depending in which row button is clicked.
I am using a Navigation Window which may be recalled by either a push button which should be on each layout (you have not to change it because it only recall the Navigation Window) and/or a Script (I use to put it at the first place, as CMD-1).
Of course, you need to manage that the Navigation Window has to be closed before the navigation and execution of the Script managed by your Toolbar while, at the other side, you may add every other navigation need ;-)

I'm currently working on an application for Windows, however, I have one small problem: I can't seem to figure this one out...
Is there a way to remove the tab headers from tab control and designate other buttons to switch between tabs? I'm going for a more modern look and the default tabs in tab control are not at all what I'm interested in.
thanks for your answers on this question!
I've just thought of a different method to keep the clean look of my program without having to get too complicated with code.
For anyone wondering about this, you could set different buttons to hide and show different things, for example:
Under homeBtn you could have code that shows the information shown on the page by default, yet at the same time, you could also hide any information from the previous tab.
Thanks, Laugh
You can easily add buttons setting the property SelectedIndex on the tab control to switch the pages. To hide the tab headers, there are some ideas over here.
Is it possible to add some links in opportunity navigation pane ? I want to move process (Prospecting (Active), Pre-Quota,...) navigation to marked area.
See in picture what I mean.
No you can't do this. The logic of the process flow is controlled by a workflow which you can change. However, the display within the UI is done by the CRM platform and cannot be changed.
The area that you want to move it to is the Command Bar (it used to be called the ribbon in CRM 2011). This can be customized by adding or removing buttons but nothing as extensive as moving entire sections of the form around. You might be able to mimic some of the functionality of the process flow from custom buttons in the command bar. However, I think it would be unlikely to yield much benefit for the amount of work involved.
I am trying to find the difference between the uses of a basic page and a blank page on windows store apps. I am writing an application that has multiple pages and I am not sure which one to use for my main page and I can't seem to find an answer that is helpful.
Basic Page inherits Common.LayoutAwarePage. This gives your page various capabilities like the automatic back button and a visualstatemanager for snapping among other things.
Blank Page only inherits Page and does not get any of the above capabilities. So for example if you need to incorporate snapped view in your page, you need to add a handler for the size changed event in your code.
A Basic Page makes it very easy to just write all the snapped changes in your VisualStateManager in XAML and then test it without running your code using just the device tab where you can select state of your device.
The MainPage in your project is a Blank Page and I prefer to create all other pages as Basic Pages to not worry about stuff like the back button.
That being said, Windows 8.1 apps do not include the LayoutAwarePage so if you are not used to the LayoutAwarePage, do not bother.
Let me know if you need more clarification.
Go with the Basic Page as it gives you automatic back button your view's title etc, and if you don't need them you can disable them also. But for blank page you have to write code for those common things.
This blog post will help you in understanding of Basic Page vs Blank Page.

I'm working on a program that can play songs off an iPod. I want to be able to put functional Back, Play/Pause and Next buttons on its Aero Peek thumbnail like this:
For those who can't see it: http://i45.tinypic.com/1yua0m.png
How would I do this in VB6?
EDIT: Can I also create a jump list for my app? For this app, I only need taskbar jump lists. For others, I'll need taskbar and start menu jump lists so posting code to achieve both would be appreciated.
EDIT 2: I have uploaded a sample of how to use the ITaskBarList3 interface to add buttons to the window preview (and handle their click events), add an icon overlay, clip the window preview and add a progress bar to the program's taskbutton. Download it here.
Look at the Taskbar Thumbnail Toolbar feature of Windows Explorer. This does use a COM interface so I don't know how practical it is to use for VB but I beliver the IDLs are available if you look.
You can also find a C# example and the UI guidelines on MSDN.
The Jumplist information is also covered on the same pages.
