• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and desktop icons

  I just installed Internet Explorer 7 today, which I guess is a.k.a. Windows Live . All of my fancy customized shortcuts on the desktop disappeared and each got replaced by the same generic windows icon. Right-clicking & changing the icons in properties no longer works. Also, when I create an internet shortcut while browsing, that creates a shortcut with that same generic icon (not even an explorer logo). Now my desktop is just one forest of identical icons. Anyone know how I can fix this I've wasted all day without success. CPIAD That is exactly the problem and question I am also experiencing...I finally uninstalled both IE7 and Netscape 8.1 (which is also behaving unsatisfactoril ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work Items not deleted from warehouse when project deleted by TFSDeleteProject

  Deleted a project with TFSDeleteProject and later created it again with the same name. Work Items from the original incarnation of the project continued to show up in reports for the new incarnation of the project. Eventually found that work items created for the original incarnation of the project were deleted from the TfsWorkItemTracking database but not from the TFSWarehouse database. Could the actual problem be that the report is getting the wrong item from the TreeNodes or xxTree   (Matching absolute first entry instead of first with InDeletedTreeFlag=0) ...Show All

• Visual C++ Win 32 Wrapper Class

  I was looking around for a while on different forums and sites and couldn't find any help to my problem. I'm trying to make a windows wrapper class. I'm using VS 2005 and doing it in visual C++. I'm declaring my handle as a private variable inside the class. private : hWnd; Then in my functions I have HRESULT cWindows::WinCreate() { hWnd = CreateWindow( "wndName" , "" , WS_OVERLAPPED, 0, 0, 600, 480, NULL, NULL, hInst, NULL); if (!hWnd) {return E_FAIL;} return S_OK; } hInst is a variable that I keep stored in the privates of my class and pass it in through the constructor. The WNDCLASS is registering itself fine, but whenever I try to create the window, I keep getting a a NULL ...Show All

• Smart Device Development how to invoke a popup menu on menubar without clicking the softkey

  hi, I have a menubar "Done" and "Menu", Done is "button" and "Menu" is a popup menu with 2 items. I would like to popup the menu items when user press the action key but I have no idea what message to be sent to or to which window. Is there a way to accomplish that thanks in advance. keybd_event is forbidden in some phone by OEM. The best solution, Try this code: // If you know current menu bar window, you don't need to search it... HWND softkeyMB=SHFindMenuBar(GetForegroundWindow()); // Post the WM_HOTKEY message into Softkey like this: // For Left Softkey PostMessage(softkeyMB,WM_HOTKEY,0,MAKELPARAM(0,VK_F1)); PostMessage(softkeyMB,WM_HOTKEY,0,MAKELPARAM(409 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Totals of rows and columns

• Visual Studio Team System Online Command Integration with VS IDE

  I work for an offshore software development company, so most developers are not in the main office, but in an office which is in another country. So we integrate to Team Foundation Server over the internet, using TFS SP1. We suffer of frequent disconnections from Internet, which is a common issue in this country, so there are plenty of times when we unexpectedly disconnect from Internet, frequently while we are working in Visual Studio 2005. We found the TFPT.exe Online command very useful to come back online when we made changes in offline mode, but we need integration with the VS IDE, so this kind of disconnections become transparent to the developers. We don't want to worry from disconnections while we are inside or outside the VS ID ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ListBox UnLimited

  I've been asked to create a glossary application for business faculty in my university. There're two part of the glossary: term and definition. I store the term in a listbox, while I store the definition in a texfile. Problem: listbox can only store limited size (around 1000 terms). Question: Is there any other ways that can be used to store terms in the glossary. When you say full - how do you determine it is full - is it returning an error message - if so what is the message I dont understand what you mean by real size of a listbox   If you are talking about the maximum number of items - as the selectedIndex can hold an integer.   I tried the following code and had 500,000 items in a listbox - so ...Show All

• Visual Studio F5 does not work ! : Need to use "Start new instance"

  Hello, I am trying to debug an application with my Visual Express 2005 c++. It compiles nicely a "hello world". However, to debug, if i use F5, it doesn't do anything..
