• Visual C++ VC2005 RC editor SourceSafe integration severely flawed (worked in 6.0)

  1. No right-click menus in RC resource editor to check out a part of the resource.  In VC 6.0 when you right clicked on a dialog, for example, a context menu with "check out" would appear, and if chosen, it would list both the RC file AND the resource.h file.  Now there's no way to seamlessly check out those two files together, or check out an individual bitmap or icon for example without going back to solution explorer. 2.  When checking out an RC file by starting to edit a particular resource (like a dialog box), but someone else has changed the resource and checked in since you got your copy, it will give you a message that your RC is stale, but it gives no way to reload the new copy.  If you then ...Show All

• Windows Forms Program Icon Question

  Hi, just a question about what VB Express allows concerning icons. I made an icon (.ico file) which after deployment displays fine for the start menu. However, it does not display in the actual program. Is this a limitation of VB Express or is there a trick to display a custom icon in the actual program (upper left corner & task bar) I am asking this because I got an icon I downloaded from somewhere to display in the program (don't ask me how) and now I can't get it to not display. Any ideas Thanks, Daniel The application must use the icon as well. Follow these steps Highlight the applications project and F4 for properties. On the Application Tab change the Icon to the one you have created. Rebuild ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. "Use of unassigned local variable" error on Xbox360 but not Windows

  Anyone know why the compiler produces an error when the following code is compiled in an Xb0x360 project but not when it is compiled on a Windows project public void GetTileRect( int tileX, int tileY, out Rectangle tileRect) { Rectangle myRect; myRect.X = tileX * tileWidth; myRect.Y = tileY * tileHeight; myRect.Width = tileWidth; myRect.Height = tileHeight; tileRect = myRect; } I get a "Use of unassigned local variable 'myRect'" when assigning it to tileRect. It's not a big deal, I can get around it by simply using "myRect = new Rectangle()". I'm just wondering why it works in one case but not the other. the reason is because you're us ...Show All

• Visual C++ DLL with C++ - Design question

  Hi, I come up into a question about which method would be better to write my DLL. 1. Write it purely in C 2. Wirte the class in C++, then use C function wrapper 3. Write everything in C++, and export the whole class Can anyone kindly point out the pros and cons of the above alternatives, and if there're other designs, please kindly let me know too. Thanks! Creating class instance inside every exported function is pretty simple. But this doesn't allow to persist class instance between API calls. If this is OK for you, do this. If you need persistence, take a look at Windows API and handles concept. For example, GetDC, ReleaseDC and DrawText. GetDC creates some object and returns handle to it.

  Hi, As part of my learning of VB express I am stuck at the moment on setting the datagridview styles dynamically.
