• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Form above game window.

  The main idea is the following: There is a game, which is working in full-screen mode, of course. It’s necessary for me to make some toolbar, which could work above the game window. For example, make the calculator, which will appear after clicking a button on the toolbar, but the game window is not minimizing, and the working of this application continues above it. I tried to use the topmost form, but I can't draw it. In the case of using timer - BringToFront - it’s blinking, and when I click on it the game window is minimizing. Can anybody tell me what must I use to I saw the same working applications already, but I have no idea how to make it. Thanks beforehand. Sorry for my English. The ZMan wrote: ...Show All

• SQL Server Pattern matching with multiple values

  I want to check for multiple patterns in a particular column. For one pattern I can write e.g. SELECT * FROM <TablName> WHERE ColumnName LIKE '%abcd%'. My requirment is to select all rows for which column value matches with many patterns.I will fetch the patterns in a subquery e.g. (SELECT '%'+name+'%' FROM <TableName>) Any thoughts Thnx. Shallu.....That is correct syntax, but you need to see that the number of values is not static and all of them are stored as one parameter by ssrs. To simplify it for you, say SSRS is providing me with a string series like " '%val2%', '%val2%' ,'%val2%' ...". Now I need to use this to do my comparison. ...Show All

• Visual C++ TCHAR vs _TCHAR

  For the life of me, I can't figure out how to deal with strings in Visual C++. What is the difference between TCHAR and _TCHAR The built-in help is very confusing. Thank you. TCHAR and _TCHAR are identical, although since TCHAR doesn't have a leading underscore, Microsoft aren't allowed to reserved it as a keyword (imagine if you had a variable called TCHAR. Think what would happen). Hence TCHAR will not be #defined when Language Extensions are disabled (/Za). TCHAR is defined in winnt.h (which you'll get when you #include <windows.h>), and also tchar.h under /Ze. _TCHAR is available only in tchar.h (which also #defines _TSCHAR and _TUCHAR). Those are unsigned/signed variants of the normal TCHAR ...Show All
