I need to create a custom shape like that one on figure
How can I do that?
Thank you.
In Visio 2013 Pro there is a Developer tool tab that allows you to modify existing shapes to create unique ones. You'll find these commands in the Operations drop down list of the Shape Design section on the Developer tab. If the Developer tab isn't in your ribbon bar, you can make it available by going to the Customize Ribbon section of the Visio Options screen.
the "Developer" tool tab exists in Visio 2010 Pro as well. it seems to be turned off out of the box.
go File->Options->Customize Ribbon to turn it on.
it makes a big difference when trying to build custom shapes.

I know how to create custom stencils and shapes....what I haven't been able to find out is if it's possible (and how) to have my custom stencil w/shapes show up by default in the Shapes window/menu.
I would like to avoid having to go to > More Shapes > My Shapes and rather just 'stick' my stencil in that menu by default.
Is this possible?
You can put your application's folder path in Visio's StencilPaths property, either through automation (Application.StencilPaths property) or through the UI (in the Advanced menu in the Options, click the File Locations button).
This won't open your stencil by default in Visio, but it makes it fairly easy to find. I can't tell by your question if this is what you're trying to avoid.
I suppose, you could also modify Visio's template files to add your stencil on, so no matter what your stencil is open for any new file.
Open stencils are something that's saved as part of a document's workspace settings. Ordinarily you would create a template that's saved with your stencil open. If the workspace option is included when saving, then subsequent documents (based on that template) will open with your stencil docked in position. Have a look at these two links for details:

I've tried to use two series type in my chart but I don't know how, it's my first time using Crystal Report so i don't know if it's possible. I've seen some questions here in stackoverflow but they are saying i need to right click in my chart ->'Chart Options' -> 'Axis' but when i click there are just 3 options.
Template
General
Titles
I don't know if my version is updated and this action does not exist.
I believe i dont need to put any code here but if i need just tell me ok?
Thanks in advanced!
Not sure if you want to show some of the data as lines and some of the data as bars, if that is the case, follow these steps:
go to Preview mode for the report in the designer
right click on the bar that you wish to change to a line and choose Series Options
in the Show Selected Series As dialogue, choose Line
If you want to show all data as lines AND bars, then you should take a look at this.
Hope that helps,
Chris
EDIT:
Here is a screenshot of a report I quickly put together. I have 3 axis and 2 are bar and one is line. Unfortunately one axis has no data. I used the steps from above and it works just fine.
EDIT 2:
Here are screenshots of the process:
Insert the chart
Select a bar of the chart
Choose the display type
One axis now showing as a line
That's the best I can do for you.
EDIT 2:
After a lengthy email exchange, it turned out that he is trying to do this in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. Unfortunately you can't do it in VS, at least up to version 2010. I suggested a workaround (link) in hopes that he can achieve his goal. Maybe an inquiry to SAP will shed some more light on this.
I want to write a ReSharper 8 plugin that will give a visual indication (icon maybe?) to the user in solution explorer panel if the number of projects in a solution exceeds a configurable amount.
Can a ReSharper plugin accomplish this or must I find another way? Must I create a SolutionComponent?
There's actually a set of things that you need to make this happen:
You need to add a visual element to be placed somewhere. I believe you can define an icon in Actions.xml, but as I understand, the solution explorer tool bar contains only buttons, though I could be wrong. An alternative approach would be to actually decorate the solution icon the way that source control plugins do. There are also other approaches, e.g. StatusBarIndicator.
A solution component is essentially some component that exists only while there's a solution loaded. What you need is different - a mechanism of monitoring solution changes and project model changes.
Is it possible to configure NetBeans on a multi-monitor system such that one monitor shows source, and another shows design? How?
Something similar will be supported in NB74.
See http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/images/9/91/Horizontal_split.png
Not as separate windows, but next to each other.
There is small cross icon in the upper right corner.
Drag it and split
I'm using the standard Visual Studio deployment project and want to remove the text in the banner (the text that says "Welcome to the Your Project Setup Wizard".
I want to remove it because I want a custom banner and don't want the text written over the banner.
I can't see any properties in VS to allow this. Can it be done without prodding around in the .MSI?
Cheers,
Steve
You can "remove" the text by removing the Welcome dialog and replacing it with a custom dialog. In VS 2005 -
Right click on the Setup project in the solution explorer
Select View - User Interface
Under the Start group for Install and Administrative Install delete "Welcome"
Then you can add a "Textboxes (A)" dialog (right click the "Start" group and select Add Dialog) to the project, set the visible property for the text boxes to false. Move the Textboxes (A) up to the top of the "Start" sequence.
The properties for this dialog include:
BannerBitmap
BannerText
BodyText
This should allow you to control the look / feel (to a certain extent) of this new "Welcome" page.
I'd just like to add to this that sometimes creating a custom dialog is a pain in the rear and that you can follow the advice at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winformssetup/thread/5af7ff28-3dbb-4a8a-8d62-a09af9e32b29 to use a tool called InstEdit (http://www.instedit.com -- there is a free version) to edit the outputted installer and remove the BannerText
I don't believe there is an easy way (e.g. changing a property). I had the same problem recently. I couldn't find anything. Ended up using Orca to "prod around in the .msi". It seems the only thing you can alter easily is the language it's displayed in.
