• Smart Device Development Windows Mobile 2005, keyboard

  I have to write an application, which should work in background, gather keyboard data, and send the new key codes to the foreground window. It is needed for input of cyrilical letters. Keyboard hooks are not working. Can you advise a solution Thank you. I use keyboard hooks on Windows Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Mobile 5. The hook is in my invisible, out of focus window. I can also send a WM_CLOSE message to this same invisible, out of focus window and it closes the program. I don't know if sending a WM_CLOSE is different to sending any other keyboard event. It most likely is. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie help; Comma seperated numbers

  As of 3 week ago I’m fresh off the turnip truck. I’ve been creating a program that does some calculations based on SQL input and using tts. Problem: tts needs a comma separator in order to say one thousand. I have a TextBox8.Text the tts reads from. I’ve looked and tried, but I’m just not getting it.

• Visual C++ Strange error with .h

  Hi! compiling a simple code i get this error: c:\vxl\vxl - 1.6.0\core\vnl\vnl_matrix.h(12) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'vnl/vnl_tag.h' : No such file or directory. I work with VS 6.0 and i have added to Tools/Options/Directories the folder where vnl_matrix.h and vnl_tag.h are. Why does it give that error It looks like vnl_matrix.h and vnl_tag.h are in the same directory. It also looks like your include line is something like #include "vnl/vnl_tag.h". If this is the case, try changing it to #include "vnl_tag.h". Since the including file and the file to include are in the same directory, you shouldn't need to specify the path. If it's not like this, it'd be cool i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a way to get the TFS user role from a custom control dll?

  I have a custom control that I would like to enable and disable a form control depending on the tfs user role. Windows roles are easy but not adequate. Does the tfs environment expose any technique to get its the user roles Thanks much for the quick reply. I started to glue all the pieces together and it looks something like this: private IServiceProvider m_serviceProvider; private IGroupSecurityService m_grpSecurity; void IWorkItemControl.SetSite( IServiceProvider serviceProvider ) { m_serviceProvider = serviceProvider; m_grpSecurity = (IGroupSecurityService)serviceProvider.GetService( typeof(IGroupSecurityService) ); if( m_grpSecurity != null ) { } } Problem is GetService is always ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Generic GUI forms for games.

  I was wondering if there were any standard GUI form structures in XNA, similar to a Windows Form, but designed with game structues in mind. For example, I would like to be able to implement radiobuttons, sliders, textboxes, dropdown menus, etc... in the character creation screen for the rpg i am programming. Are there controls like this built into the XNA library Or could I extend a standard Windows Form to work well within a game (customizable graphics, full screen functionalty) Or would I have to program all of these controls myself At the moment there are no standard GUI Elelments in the XNA Framework, you are going to have to design your own. Some people have started to build there own systems a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Prohibiting a user from reviewing their own work item

  I have a a field on a work item called "Reviewed By" to manage code peer reviews. To this field I have put entries into the ALLOWEDVALUES list that correspond to people who are allowed to do code peer reviews. However, I want to exclude the current user from that list if they are one of my peer reviewers; i.e. they can't peer review their own code. I've tried putting the value "currentuser" in the PROHIBITEDVALUES list, but the user wasn't exlcuded from the Reviewed By drop down. I've also tried creating a dummy field in the work item that has the value "currentuser" copied into it. When this is displayed on the work item form it has the correct user name. However, the entry isn't excluded from the Reviewed By ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Loading behaviors

  Is there a way to set the behaviorConfiguration for a ServiceHost (or Client for that matter) in code All examples that I've seen show it being set in app.config. I need the ability to define the behavior in the app.config, but then create the ServiceHost and endpoint objects entirely in code, passing to them the name of the config entry to use. I do something similar now for the bindings. I define the binding configurations in the app.config, but when I create the binding in code (for example wsHttpBinding), I use the overloaded constructor that allows me to pass in the string name of the entry in the app.config. I'd like to do the same thing for services and clients. Any ideas. Thanks. Bruce Bukovics Author of .NET 2.0 Interoperability ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions stupid questoin about bitmaps

  I have just begun to use Visual basic recently, and I want to create a picture. I don't want to use picture boxes(they start to lag after alot of them have been placed on the form) I know that you can use bitmaps, but all the different methods I have tried to use have ended with a blue squigly line under part of the code. I would like the code to load one of theese bitmaps, via... Public(or private, whichever works)sub form1_load <insert whatever code is needed> End sub if possible. Thank you very much in advance! You don't need a PictureBox control to display a picture on form, you can paint it directly for an absolute minimum of overhead. Here's some simple code to get sta ...Show All

• Visual Studio Create a Solution Explorer link to a class in a different project

  In Charles Petzold's latest book, he creates a "link" to a class file in a different project. The class's icon in Solution Explorer is displayed with an embedded shortcut symbol (the tiny shortcut arrow) that implies that it is a shortcut to a class and its filename in the property window is not editable as it would be for a class created in the project itself. How is this link created in Visual Studio Right click on the project, select Add, Existing Item, navigate to the item you want to add, select it, and then instead of clicking the Add button, click the down arrow next to it and select Add as Link.

• Visual Basic Downgrade Confusion

  The website (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/previous/downgrade.aspx) used to say "If you require a previous version of Visual Basic, you may purchase Visual Basic .NET and then downgrade to a prior version." We did this, and I still have the printout from earlier this year.   Now the same website says, "If you require a previous version of Visual Basic, you may purchase Visual Studio 2005 Professional and then downgrade to a prior version."   Are we still legal to use the Visual Basic .NET to downgrade, or do we now have to purchase Visual Studio 2005 I think calling support is the best way to get a definitive answer but I think the basis here is that you obtain a legal license f ...Show All
