• Smart Device Development Sample Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK Projects

  Hi all, I was just having a gander through the sample projects provided with the WM5.0 SDK and noticed that the CPP (C++) projects seems far superior to those of CS (and VB). For example, the listView example project allows ListViewItems to be editted (pops up the SIP to enter text) within the control by tapping the relevant ListViewItem three times - is this not possible (editting the Text of a ListViewItem) then with in C# (Does C++ over more power in terms of developing mobile apps ) Excuse my lack of knowledge here, but C++ is not classes as managed code is it Also, if the platform supports TextBox controls, you can set a ListViewSubItem to be of this type ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Getting the mouse position in screen coordinates using C++ (no .net)

  Hi, I'm quite new to DirectX, and C++... I'll start with what I'm trying to acheive: I'm aiming to get a bunch of textured cubes on the screen, and for the user to be able to pick them up and move them around, using the mouse. I've got the cubes (well, squares at the moment), and I can get input from the mouse so that when the mouse moves the camera moves. However, in order for the user to pick up a specific cube, I need to know which one the mouse is over at that point in time, therefore I need to get the screen coordinates of the mouse. All I seem to be able to get at the moment is the change in x and y of the mouse since the last poll for input. If anyone can tell me how to do that that'd be great! I've read stuff about getting th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 - Installation doubt

  I've installed SQL Server 2005 Client that have installed "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition - ENU" with only sql server related project avaiable. Now I wanna install "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition" for VB and C# projects. Is it possible or I have to uninstall the other version of Visual Studio All software comes from company's MSDN subscription. You shouldn't have any issues.

• Windows Forms TreeView and ListView Border Colour

  Hey guys, I have a panel sitting next to a TreeView on my form, and I want it to closely match the TreeView in terms of appearance, so I've set the background to SystemColors.Window. All good so far, except the TreeView (and ListViews too, I've noticed) has a light bluish-grey border on Windows XP (and I guess it's greenish-grey if I were to switch to the 'olive' colour-scheme). This border colour doesn't seem to be available in the SystemColors class, nor can I find a match in the ProfessionalColorTable class. Is there *any* way (even using P/Invoke) that I can determine the colour of the border of a TreeView in .NET Cheers, Matt ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CredProtect etc

  I wonder if anyone is using CredProtect, CredUnprotect etc in association with ICredentialProvider and ICredentialProviderCredential Hi Philip, I wish I'd seen this earlier -- 6 months isn't exactly a fast answer, sorry. Currently we are using CredProtect etc. in a few places internally. We plan to update the sample credential providers to show this usage soon (as soon as we fix the last few Windows Vista issues). At the time we wrote the samples, CredProtect didn't exist. In fact, it was in writing the samples that we realized the need for a public way to encrypt the credentials. Hope this helps, Stacey Doerr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MDX Query for Number of bugs found and fixed in each build

  Hi All, I am trying to create a chart which displays the number of workitems/Bugs which have been opened and fixed in each build. So on the X axis, display the build numbers, and on the Y axis display the number of bugs opened and resolved. I have been able to create the charts separately - ie bugs opened (FoundIn.build) each build, and in a separate report resolved (using Integrated.build). But I can't seem to find a way to combine the two into one chart. If I was in SQL, I think could do a cross tab query to return all the build numbers, then the number of bugs opened and bugs resolved for each build. How do I do the equivalent in MDX Could I do this using calculated members I tried the following query and this returns the ...Show All
