• Windows Forms Is it just me :o(

  Hi, I have been trying to find an answer, even a hint, but despite posting the following question on various forums i haven't even had a single reply for nearly two weeks :o(. "Why do treeview tooltips flash if the main form has its transparencykey set " Could a couple of people please try this (its a 67 second job) just so i know it isn't just my PC :o) You can replicate this behaviour really easily by (c# VS2003) 1) creating a new c# windows application 2) set Form1.TransparencyKey to the same as Form1.BackColor 3) Add a treeview to the form 4) Add a node to TreeView1 whose text is too long to display (i used 'whyisthishappeningwhyisthishappeningwhyisthishappeningwhywhywhy') 5) run the application and hover your ...Show All

  i have just converted my vb6 game to vb 2005, however i have a few problems - how do you read and write to text files in vb2005 . it worked fine in my game in vb6. but i'm guessing its different for 2005 (it threw up various errors when using the conversion wizzard) Similary i controlled the game using keyboard keys (left,right,space and escape) i cannot get this to work, nor can i find information on how to do do it - all the results from searches i do on google are confusing!

• Software Development for Windows Vista WF Designer - How to display Activity Full Name

  Hi Dear, I would like to take a print screen of my WF Design to document my work but when the activity name is long then the WF Designer cuts the end of the name and replace it with dots (e.g., receiveCustomerOrder is displayed as receiveCustomer...). It would be nice if the WF designer allows adjusting the size of the Activity shapes (just like controls in a WinForm) but unfortunatly it does not. The shape size is fixed. Could you please advice on how to get the WF designer to display the Activity Full Name How can we resize the Activity shape (I hope that I wouldn't need custom activities for such simple feature) Thanks Karim Agreed tom.

• Visual Studio Team System Event subscription filter - limited to System fields only?

  I'm trying to subscribe to a WorkItemChanged event with a filter expression that uses custom fields -- without success. I've been using Naren's handy tool from: http://blogs.msdn.com/narend/archive/2006/07/26/679440.aspx rather than bissubscribe.exe directly.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Command line build using VCBuild

  Hi. I have a few questions/comments about command line build with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. 1. I have noticed that there is no 'devenv' in the Express edition (I got used to it in the VS .NET 2003 version). The IDE executable is 'vcexpress', but it seems it has no command line build capabilities. I assume command line builds are to be done using 'vcbuild'. Am I right 2. Running 'vcexpress / ' brings me a confused explanation which is a mix up of 'vcexpress' and 'devenv' which does not exist in the Express edition. This is clearly a defected help message. 3. If I want to use 'vcbuild' for building Win32 applications (after installing the Platform SDK), I also have to change the PATH/INCLUDE/LIB directories in the %VS80COMN ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setting field when adding new item using BindingNavigator

  Hi, I have a binding navigator on my form. On the form there are fields that are bound to a datatable. The table requires a field to be set (not DbNull). That field isn't visible to the end user. I am able to set this field hitting save in the binding navigator. However I want to set it when hitting New Item. This button is bound to the AddNewItem property of the navigator. Setting the field in the bindingnavigator AddNewItem event and setting it in the Add New Item button click event does not set the field. How can this be done Thanks. BindingNavigator.AddNewItem seems to be useless, as example Exceptions can not be catched. Solution: 1. Set BindingNavigator.AddNewItem = None (D ...Show All
