Visio shape deforms / explodes automatically when shapes connect to each other - forms

i have big issues with Microsoft Visio Professional 2016, where i use walls to create our garden plan. Now i have the issue, that somewhen, when i place walls close to each other, they extend to fill the 'missing' corner. But this behaviour is not intended from me. In fact, this feature is completely destroying my plan, as both the pictures below show.
I already have completely disabled 'Visual support' as well as all of the subsequent features like 'order', 'glue', 'dynamic gitter', 'drawing support'. Also i have disabled all options below File > Options > Extended > such as 'Activate Livedynamic' and else.
I don't know how to describe it, it is something like it would explode but it is due to this automatic shape connection. Can anyone tell me, which feature to enable / disable that this behaviour stops and the walls do not extend automatically?
Please help me out, i spent hours with this.
Thanks a lot in advance
Patrick

Try disable Automation events
File -> Options -> Advanced -> Enable Automation events (uncheck)

How can I show all non-theme extensions installed in VSCode?

I have many themes installed in visual studio code. Now and then, I want to be able to look at all the other extensions (everything that is not a theme) so that I might disable one or two.
How can I do this? The documentation shows how to use filters, but I don't see any way to tell it to NOT show something.
This filter shows me all the installed themes:
#installed #category:themes
I've tried using ~ and ! and NOT in various places, just guessing there might be a feature implemented to understand something like that, but they don't work.
This is a know issue, currently at the backlog waiting for development.
You can track it here.
This need has been raised here. Note in the last comment:
#49374 is tracking the feature of having exclusion filters for your scenario of seeing non theme extensions.

VBA hide form from menu

I'm trying to hide a form from the menu using VBA; I've Googled this, but everything is giving me the .visible option, however I want to hide it from the groups menu located on the left side. I could just as easily manually do this, however it's very tedious and I can't be going on other user's computers to do so.
Is this possible?
I might suggest normally you should only disable menus vs. removing them all together, might suggest doing an enable/disable menu item instead..
It should be possible but how much work is it and is it worth it to you? It isn't clear what your host application is just that you're using VBA. Might suggest the host application may already allow for customization if so use what it provides.
If the app doesn't allow customizing your menu you can still do it, just how much work is it worth for you? You'll need to look at the Win32 way of doing things. If not familiar with Win32 and menus take a look and start here looking here at MSDN to start learning about menus in Windows. After this you'll find Pinvoke will be handle to give you C#/VB sample to call what is needed. The VB should be useful but you will probably need to further translate the VB to VBA for your needs. FYI when starting out a a C/C++ developer back in the day 30 years ago it was anticipated anyone getting into windows might take them a few months, there is a lot you'll need to get up to speed on. Thus is this feature really worth it?

Some labels are invisible, when using Dynamics AX 2012 over Citrix

I connect to Dynamics AX 2012 via Citrix. Everything works fine but in some screens the controls have no text. The caption is empty.
I think there are very few users with this problem, but I ask this question to get ideas which could help fix the issue.
Please help, thank you in advance.
UPDATE: The controls are generated by code, they are only visible when we need them.
Display issues that occur only in Citrix environments are often caused by one of the various hooks that get used. There are a number of different hooks, but the multi-monitor hook would be the prime culprit to look at.
You can disable hooking for specific processes as follows:

Where can I buy a control set like NOD32 uses for its UI

My boss wants our program to have fly-out menus with smooth transitions like ESET NOD Antivirus 4 has.

Where can I buy a control set that has a similar look and feel to this? I have never bought a set before and I don't even know of what sites to start shopping at.
DevComponents.com has a super tab control as a part of it suite that looks very similar to what you want. It's very inexpensive compared to other suites as well. That is if you are using .NET WinForms. You never specified.

JCAPS little boxes of hell

Has anyone out there in SO land had to deal with this...when you go to build a new deployment profile in JCAPS, you have quite a few little boxes that you have to minimize before you can do the actual mapping (black boxes added to hide company specific info):
We've tried autohotkey and are looking into Sikuli - does anyone know of a good way to get around this silly UI design flaw?
You can build multiple environments that point to the same logical host. Just separate the resources into logical groups to make them more manageable.
I wrote a Netbeans plugin to take care of this. I can't publish the full source, but here is the main idea.
I've found that if you click on the "third" button in the deployment wizard that your logical hosts appear on the lower right. Other than that, the latest EAs you created are on the upper left.
