• Windows Forms Get the handle of each open window.

  I am in quite a predicament here. What I need to do is call some sort of API, (from User32 ) that retrieves the handle of each open window, (minimized or open) and store it in an array. I looked through the functions in User32...and am not sure how to use EnumWindows and am not sure if that will do what I want. The second part I need to know how to do is store them in an array. IntPtr[] hArray = new IntPtr[] Any help is appreciated. Add a new class to your project and paste this code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; public class WindowEnumerator { private delegate bool CallBackPtr(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr lParam); [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern int Enu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotating sprites center

  I'm new to directx programming and i'm writing a simple program to help me learn. I'm using sprites and i'm trying to rotate the texture based on its current heading (the sprite is moving around). Now when i try to rotate it using a matrix, it seems the matrix is too big. My texture is only 32x32, and when i do the transformation, leaving the rotation center as NULL should set it to be the top left, according to what i've read. However, after experimenting because it didnt work, I found that if i set the center to be close to the window's center, or some larger center, it seems to fix it a bit. So it seems to me that the matrix is too big for my texture. I don't know if there is any way to set the size of it If you would like code I can ...Show All

• .NET Development Tracing not working from Webservice

  I have a problem tracing from a ASP.NET 2.0 webservice. All calls to System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine are ignored by the compiler. I've come to the conclusion that this is caused by the TRACE compileroption not being defined in the compilation, because when adding a "#define TRACE" tracing works as desired. The documentation says that TRACE should be defined for both Debug and Release configurations, but clearly it is not the case on my machine, because newly created and completely empty Webservice project has the same problem. It would be an OK solution for me if I could define TRACE for the entire project/solution, but adding a #define TRACE to every single file is not an option. However I can't find anywhere in the IDE, w ...Show All

• Windows Forms RichTextbox bold

  hey, I am having trubble amkign the text in the richtextbox bold..I used this code: thisrichtextbox.SelectionFont.Bold = true ; but it gives me this error: Property or indexer 'System.Drawing.Font.Bold' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only Thanks:) Here's a more general version of the bold/italic/underline/strikeout feature, for searchers yet to come: 1. Create a separate Button/ToolStripButton or ToolbarButton, whichever fits you, however, the code assumed normal good-old-fashioned buttons, named simply btnBold for bolding, btnItalic ... and so on. The code below should be tweaked for Toolbars (the handler should be the toolbar's ButtonClick event handler not the click, and the comparisons should ...Show All

• Visual C++ C2555 error in VS C++

  I received error C2555 when trying to compile my VS 2005 C++ code. I found the following reference and it said under STATUS it has been fixed in Visual C++ .NET version. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240862/ Should I not be getting this error anymore or am I missing something I am running Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42, .Net 2.0.50727, Visual C++ 2005. VC6 was rather lax when it came to template parameters.  It inferred too much about template parameters, and your example may be one of those cases where it relied on VC6.  But VC6 was horribly non-C++ conformant. Well, not that horribly.  Depends on your POV. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Determine Number of Pages on Report

  I have a custom print/export feature on my webform instead of the built in ReportViewer controls. This allows me to print/export with MS AJAX. The CRV outputs javascirpt in the page load event which doesn't play well with MS AJAX. My code allows the user to optionally input FirstPage and LastPage to print. If FirstPage is blank then default to 1 If LastPage is blank then default to N. I can't figure out how to get the number of pages out of CR. I tried setting N to zero (0), but that seemed to output the entire report no matter what the value of FirstPage is. Any ideas on determining the CR page count. I did see this post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=560381&SiteID=1 but this doesn't work with my report ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Working with older Office formats

  Hello there, I am looking for a solution to generate pre-2007 office files on the server (using .NET / ASP.NET) without having office installed. I looked into the option of generating open XML documents and then converting them back to older formats using Compatibility Pack, but it appears that Compatibility Pack requires Office (the documentation is sort of hazy about it). So this one is not an option. Plus, there are tools that allow to generate Word and Excel tools, but could not find anything like that for Powerpoint files. Are there any other possibilities or should I ditch the idea and force the open XML format Any comments are appreciated. Cheers, Roman There really aren't any options for this, on ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Button Events

  Newbie question If if place a button on a window how can I set the mouse click event. I thought I could just click on the button like a normal Winform application and add the event code. I am surprised that this feature has not been added yet, to me it seems very important. I would like to design my application with IE and then use VS2005 to wireup everything. I'm sure that is the master plan but I would have thought a feature like event creation would have been added by now. ...Show All
