• Nicolas Humann Timer

  I have a Problem, I have a timer that runs and a event has to be run within this timer. The event is triggered by a button. My question is how do i get the brogram to "ask" if the specific timer is still running The event can be run before or after the timer is ended but it will be maked as early or late. Any help would be cool Thanks Thelostcircuit jrboddie, That worked out perfectly after I did the same thing with the ftime variable. I didn't know you didn't have to have the datetime thing in front of it after it was created. Thankyou Jon Ok really what I'm trying to do is tell if someone did something late.

• Prateek_cds How do I get Len(MyObject)?

  After banging my head against the keyboard for a bit I am now ready to ask a potentially "duh" question like this...

• dr.grumbles Save As animated gif impossible?

  I am working on an image editing application and am on the final step, which is the user saves the 3 images they have edited as one animated gif.

• Jademobile TFS SP1 Installation Failure

  The build component seems to install without error, but the first component fails every time. I can fix our installation afterward by reinstalling the KB that's required before installing SP1, and fixing whatever changes the install made to the Domain accounts uses for the application pools and services. But it would be nice if we could actually get SP1 to install without error. I'm thoroughly disappointed with the low quality of this install fall so far. I've seen alpha software work better. Anyhow, I've got this log file with a ton of information and lots of errors. Rather than posting it here (because it's simply huge), is there someone I can send it to who can help We'd really like to get this installed if possible. I hear thi ...Show All

• dsallow Chaning build directories

  I'd like to be able to change which directory VC++ puts my .exes, debug databases, .obj files, and everything else it creates. Idealy, I'd like to be able to seperate them so that I do have one bloated folder containing many files that aren't needed to run the program. In Code::Blocks I could do this with the "Execution working dir:" and "Objects output dir:" settings. Is there a way to do this Thanks. This could be done by using compiler switches or through the IDE. Take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yb8e9b8y.aspx . Make sure you specify the full path to the obj. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fwkeyyhe.aspx is also helpful. Thanks, Ayman ...Show All
