• .NET Development Hook desktop redrawing.

  Is there any way (other than global hooking, which is disabled in .net) to catch events for desktop refreshes Has anyone ever tried this and managed a workaround to the global hook problem Or maybe someone could divert me to a C++ 2005 project that can do this for me.... Please ;) BTW I see ahmedilyas is the new king of the hill! Nice one ;) AndrewVos wrote: Any application. My program is being drawn using DC's over the actual desktop. It would be much more efficient if I didn't have to constantly redraw! Hmmm, Dont think that you accept event through C# that which Window is Redrawn at what time. Anyhow best of luck, If you get solution also share with us. Thanks!!! Best Regards, ...Show All

• Visual C++ Command Line Compiler mscorlib Location

  Is there a command line argument in Microsoft's C++/CLI compiler that prevents the compiler from looking for mscorlib.dll in: c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\ Our build environment requires that all builds be consistent and reproducible. This means that there should be as little reliance as possible on the configuration of the particular machine used to build the software. We require all components referenced during the build process to come from a single shared location, not from the user's local hard drive. C# and VB both provide the "/nostdlib" command line argument but I cannot find anything similar in C++/CLI. Any thoughts Try using: Tools + Options (Show all ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How to add "Open in new tab" to custom context menu?

  Hello, I am glad that there is a special forum for add-on developers :-) Here is my first question that was not answered on the IEBlog yet: I have customized the context menu of IE based on the standard menu that is located in the shdoclc.dll. Unfortunately, the dll resource does not include the "Open in new tab" item in IE7. What is the recommended way to add this menu item to a customized context menu Of course, it should also depend whether tabbed browsing is activated or not.

• Windows Forms Panel Autosizing

  I have a small windows form that contains a single FlowLayout panel, set to Autosize. When the form is shown, I add a series of buttons to the panel (from top to bottom). Depending on the number of buttons added, and their width, I then want the panel to automatically resize to exactly encompass all the buttons. However, the panel is not autosizing. I have tried using Invalidate() to make the form repaint, but I must have wandered way off track. Can anyone please guide me on making a panel autosize to show the buttons Thanks     I think I have answered my own question... I needed to set AutoSizeMode of the panel to GrowAndShrink (it was GrowOnly). ...Show All

• Visual C++ Try...Catch doesn't catch access violation exception?

  VS2005 C++ and MFC. Under certain abnormal conditions, my application causes an access violation (c0000005), and the program crashes. I have tried inserting try { } catch (...) { } around the offending code, but this doesn't catch this exception. Is it possible for the try...catch mechanism to catch this kind of exception Thanks, Jim By default C++ does not catch this type of exceptions (asynchronous).

• Visual Basic Temp Image file is locked and cannot delete

  Hello, I just can't seem to get this to work right for some reason. I am getting pretty frustrated and I am sure it is an easy fix. I have the following line of code: Dim pictForm As Image = Image.FromFile(strFilenameJPG) In the next couple of lines, I draw the image into my graphics object. The strFilenameJPG varaible is just a temp file. When I have completed my grahpics work, I want to delete the file. I use the following line: Kill (strFilenameJPG) However, I get an I/O error every time saying that the file is in use. I have tried several methods such as disposing the pictForm object and setting it equal to nothing, but I always get the same error. Any help would be appreciated. Tom I found out what t ...Show All
