Last week I had to deal with Visual Basic in Microsoft Visio Professional 2016. I wanted to fill a ListBox with items containing data from an Excel file. First I searched for a ListBox shape in the shapes pane of Visio and added a ListBox shape to the sheet. However I could not access it […]
In one of our projects we needed to create a lot of components that expose interfaces. The steps to design this in EA are quite tedious: Link the Interface to the diagram of our component.

Last week Windows Defender Security Center alerted me to a firmware update of the security processor (TPM). Clicking on Learn more took me to a support website of Microsoft containing a step by step guide and some information about the firmware update (see here).

The goal of the tryout session was to check out the Outlook endpoints for messages and calendars. To be more precise, I wanted to try out the following features. Reading […]
One of the requirements our WPF project had to meet describes the ability to create a sketch of the sewage shaft for which data is collected. The functional acceptance criteria are the following. There has to be an area on the form to create a sketch of the sewage shaft using Surface Pen, touchscreen or […]
When we used ListBox controls in our WPF project we faced the same problem as described in the previous post. Like DataGrid, ListBox control also has a property called SelectedItems, which isn’t a dependency property and therefore not bindable too. This post shows how ListBox control can be extended with a bindable version of the […]
