Not sure why, but this article that I write 4 years ago suddenly got 2300 hits from Google Search in a few hours time: Solution for “Error Code: 0x80246002″ on Microsoft Update when installing “Microsoft .NET Framework 4 for Windows Server 2003 x86 KB982671”.
Microsoft just got some 300 extra .NET 4.0 installer downlaods through it too (:

Interesting, as I didn’t think this was possible. Thanks Oliver Funcke!
Notification when a `TFrame` becomes visible.
TMyCommonFrame = class(TFrame)
private
FOnShow: TNotifyEvent;
procedure CMShowingChanged(var M: TMessage); message CM_SHOWINGCHANGED;
public
property OnShow : TNotifyEvent read FOnShow write FOnShow;
end;
...
procedure TMyCommonFrame.CMShowingChanged(var M: TMessage);
begin
inherited;
if Showing and Assigned(FOnShow) then
FOnShow(Self);
end;

via Is there any way for a VCL TFrame to be notified when it is actually shown to….

Though I’ve done this automation in Delphi, this applies to automation from any development platform. In this particular project, the documents used Bookmarks. Those have changed over time, so has the Word support for it.
From Word 2000 until Word you could disable the showing of Bookmarks by setting the ShowBookmarks property to False like this:
<br />ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.ShowBookmarks := False;<br />
Well, when doing this, Office 2013 can throw an error like this:
EOleException: The ShowBookmarks method or property is not available because this command is not available for reading
ErrorCode: 0x800A11FD
Source: Microsoft Word
HelpFile: wdmain11.chm
The full error message does not give any useful search results. But a partial search finds a Word 2013 issue towards the top of the results:
sometimes Words opens the document in Reading layout. Reading layout does not allow all operations in Word 2013.
If a document is protected, and you try to change something you should not, you get an error message like this:
This method or property is not available because the document is a protected document.
Usually, Cindy Meister is very accurate. However this time here code
...ActiveWindow.View = wdPrintView
should have been like
...ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
Of course you also have to save/restore this property while you are enabling the ShowBookmarks property.
