• Visual C++ Problems with ListControl in Property Page

  I have been developing a small app using a property sheet with a couple of property pages in it. I have various control on the different pages all working fine. However, I am now trying to add a List Control in the Report style. I am using the code; CRect rect; connectionsList.GetClientRect(&rect); int nColInterval = rect.Width()/5; connectionsList.InsertColumn(0, _T("UID"), LVCFMT_LEFT, nColInterval*3); connectionsList.InsertColumn(1, _T("Memory"), LVCFMT_LEFT, nColInterval); connectionsList.InsertColumn(2, _T("Networking"), LVCFMT_LEFT, rect.Width()-4*nColInterval); to try and create a couple of column headings but I am getting generic debug assertation errors. In the debugger I can see that t ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to pass ab object between forms

  Hi, how Can I pass an object between 2 forms. For example if I have an object created in a button click event Form1 frm1 = new Form1(); MyObject obj = new MyObject() obj.Id= someintvariable; obj.Name=somestringvariable; frm1.MdiParent = this.MdiParent; //this is an MDI app frm1.Show(); how Can I send obj to Form1 so I can use it there Thanks There are several ways to do it. You can choose one of them as per choice or need: Suppose you have 2 Forms; Form1 and Form2; First you are trying to make a form an MDI parent but you are writing wrong syntax here is the right one... To make Form1 an MDI parent you need to set its property like this: See the properties of Form1 in PorpertyGrid and Set it ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form_Load event + BackgroundWorker Thread (VB.2005). Behaviour not as expected.

  G'day, I've got a vb.net 2005 windows form opening via the following code. Dim frm As New frmOptions Me .Opacity = 0.8 With frm .ShowDialog() ' Do something here if the databases have changed. Me .Opacity = 1 Call Me .SetupLogin( True , e) End With In the Options form that I'm opening I'm doing some searching for actual SQL Server databases available to the user and this takes a while to perform, so I've used the background worker thread to help speed up the loading of the form. Example. Private Sub frmOptions_Load( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase .Load BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync( GetActualSQLServe r) ' Do a heap of stuff th ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get an .xsd from a resouce file

  Hello All: I have a .xsd file that I call from a DataSet using ReadXmlSchema. I would like to add the schema file to to a resource and call like so: MyDataSet.ReadXmlSchema(MyApp.Properties.Resouce.MyScema) this throws an exception. As an alternative I can use a string resource referencing the path to the .xsd file but would prefer just to add .xsd file to the resource and use it directly. Any ideas on how to do this, or, Am I going in the wrong direction TIA Trophus "You Kill One Bug...And Fifty Show Up For The Funeral" Hi, Your thread seems to be more appropriate in XML and the .NET Framework and there you may find satisfactory answers. Thank you. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Beginner shader question - I'm missing something obvious

  Hello, all: I'm working on a simple space sim, and I'm trying to render a weapon shot using an HLSL shader. I haven't used a shader before, so I've read through a bunch of code samples, and picked up a couple of books, so I *think* I (kind of) understand what's going on with vertex and pixel shaders. The problem I'm having is that when I enable the vertex shader the mesh I'm rendering is drawn in black. If I disable the vertex shader (comment it out), the pixel shader outputs the color I expect. I've tried it with a mesh I created and with a mesh created via Mesh.Sphere with the same result. Here's the shader code (it's almost an exact copy of the simple pixel shader code from MDXInfo). As you can see, it's totally simple: uni ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DLL registration fails on Windows vista

  Hi, i am in process of upgrading a DLL application from VS 2003(Windows 2003) to VS 2005 on Windows vista platform. There is a post build event for registering the DLL. This fails with error code "0x80070005". When i try to register this DLL through command prompt, it fails with the same error code.

There is absolutely no way i can find out about this new error code on the net. Can somebody help me resolve this P.S. : i am running VS 2K5 as an administrator and also i have administrative privileges for my login. Thanks in ...Show All

  My machine hangs while resolving conflicts during a merge. Here's what is happening: I initiate a merge between 2 branches It correctly identifies the conflicting files.
