• Visual Studio Express Editions Automatically enter Text from one Text box to another as you type.

  I would like to setup a Text Box that pulls the Textbox.text from 2 separte text boxes and then displays them in this textbox. For Example... TextBox1.Text = "Jimmy" TextBox2.Text = "Taylor" TextBox3.Text = "Jimmy Taylor" But the kicker is I want it to add the "J" in TextBox3 as I type it in TextBox1 ect. I tried a number of places but I am not sure how to describe this and I am not coming up with very good examples. Thanks in advance for any help. This seems a little over my head...

• Visual C++ Problem with DsoFramer and WindowProc

  Hi, I use DSOFramer in an C++ Based application. I start my application and I open the form containing of DSOFramer.

• Windows Forms ToolStripMenuItems have disappeared from the MenuStrip

  Hello, I'm having a serious issue with the MenuStrip, and this is happening already for the second time. I was developing my application like I normally do, but a while ago, when I was running the application to preview it (F5/debug), all my menu items were gone. And after that, they were gone in the actual designer view too. As this is the second time this is happening to my application, I think I may have noticed some kind of pattern, that is related to the resources. I'll try to explain the best I can: In the Solution Explorer, I have a Resources folder, with some images (icons for the menu, etc), and the last thing I remember having done before the menu items disappeared was only that ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista These are simply suggestsions. These are annoyances I found in Windows XP that I noticed are still in Vista.

  These are some things that annoyed me in Xp and annoy me still in Vista. 1. ) All open dialogue boxes default to List view and there is no way to change this. 2. ) Internet explorer favorites do not remain expanded when IE is closed and reopened. 3. ) Mapped drives do not make a drive letter in use which allows a removable drive to be assigned the same letter. What I mean is if I have a Hard drive. (C:) and a CDRom (D:) and a mapped drive (E:) and I plug in a jump drive the jump drive will assign itself the letter E: and I won't be able to use it till I change it in disk management.
