• Visual C++ Visual C++/CLI

  Hi all.Is it fine if i use visual C# .net tutorials and resources for creating windows forms apps and incorparate the code into C++/CLI .net I mean, C++/CLI uses the .NET Framework also to create windows forms apps right So the only thing to change is the syntax(the "." to "::" or "->", variable declarations, conditional statements, classes etc etc) if i am correct here. Meaning whatever ever code in C# has been written e.g: to make a paint prog, i could just change the variable declarations,ways the functions are declared, and other things like that involving the language syntax, correct Help would be appreciated :D Thanks You'll probably start seeing m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Printing printer fonts

  Hello When I change fonts with the "format object" command I can select printer fonts (I have an thermal printer driver installed on my system - epson TM88III). Right after clicking on the OK button the font type becomes as "Courier". If I try to select the font type using the properties tab I can't fint any printer font, just the system fonts. I suppose this is the reason why printer fonts can't be selected. Is there any workaround to this issue (report preview prints with printer fonts...) Thanks for helping! Reading other posts I realize that it's not possible to assign a font type at runtime with CR. Visual studio doesn't support printer fonts. So does anyone know a way to print a ...Show All
