• Visual C++ detecting ctrl+s

  Am doing windows sdk programming. am creating a notepad. Which msg(WM_KEYDOWN or WM_CHAR) is generated when i press (ctrl+s) and how do i detect it First, this is not a C++ question. You might get even better results posting in a group that is for SDK questions. Second, the answer is: Both! Both WM_KEYDOWN and WM_CHAR messages are generated for Ctrl-S. You might not know it, but there is good documentation about the keyboard and messages and such in the SDK documentation. If you don't mind using MFC, you can write a basic notepad type application in about an hour. ...Show All

• Visual C# Create a new object through the property grid

  My apologies if I didn't label this subject appropriately. I couldn't think of anything better to put as the title. I don't know if this is even possible, but I figured this forum would be the best place to find out:) I have a property: [ BrowsableAttribute ( true ), ReadOnly ( false ), TypeConverter ( typeof (System.ComponentModel. ExpandableObjectConverter )), Category ( "Inherited Physical Values" )] public Shapes. Shape Shape { get { return _shape; } set { _shape = value ; } } The Shape property is from a parent class, "Physical" and is inherited in many child classes. The Shape class is obviously an abstract class which has m ...Show All

• Connected Services Framework How to send synchronous message to the service?

  Hi All! I'm using CSF 3.0 Developer Edition Full. I've tried to send a synchronous message from one servcie to another through a CSF session, but it hasn't worked. On this forum I read, that CSF doesn't support synchronous exchange between services, but there wasn't explanation why. And in the development guide it is said that synchronous exchange is possible. Here is my code: Header header = new Header(); header.Addressing = new Microsoft.ConnectedServices.Sdk.Addressing.AddressingHeaders(MyURI); header.Addressing.To = SessionUri; header.CsfProperties.SessionId = SessionId; header.Addressing.Action = MyAction; Message request = Message.CreateMessage(header, MyRequestType); MyResponseType response = sender.SendSync<MyResponseType>(r ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sharepoint Services 3.0 and AD Security Groups?

  I am running Sharepoint Services 3.0 on a Windows 2003 R2 Server. Everything setup without issue and works without issue. I can add AD security groups to Sharepoint groups and the users get access. However the only security groups that actually grant access are the groups that were there prior to the Sharepoint install. Any groups that were created after the install or changes to those groups are not granted access in Sharepoint. Basically I add a presharepoint ad security group to a sharepoint group for access and it works beautifully. I create a new group, add a user to it, and add it to the sharepoint group - it adds without issue but does not grant access to the site. I even tried creating the group, adding it to the site and lettin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BVT's without Team System Tester Edition - Possible?

  I'm trying to create a Team Build that will run all my unit tests as part of the build. The problem is though, when going through the wizard it allows me to select the vsmdi file, but there is no test lists available in the drop-down (and since I don't have team tester edition I don't think I can create new test lists). We can still run the tests in our Team Software Dev Edition, is there a way to make a Team Build that will also run all the tests as part of the build process without purchasing Team Tester Edition Thanks for the feedback - I've actually been pushing hard for something like this since we first hit the problem in the beta days, so this will help me build a stronger case. Until then, I've be ...Show All

• Visual C++ Error in creating Handle for HandleDestroyed

  I am trying to create a handle for a custom handle when the window is destroyed I am using the code: this ->HandleDestroyed += gcnew System::EventHandler( this , &cheat::HandleDestroyed); I have this placed in the InitalizeComponent event of my windows form. When the compiler reaches this line it tells me that i need to point to a member function. I think I am doing this wrongly, so could anyone please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. :-D I worked out that the event that I acctually want to use is OnClosing(): I am using... this ->OnClosing += gcnew System::EventHandler( this , &cheat::OnClosing); Except that the System::EventHandler class uses a different set of objects to the OnCl ...Show All

• SQL Server Blank Pages in report

  I am supporting a web based application (ASP.NET 1.1) that uses RS 2005 on the production server. I needed to change a report, I make my changes, it looks fine in the Developer Viewer and it exports fine to PDF on my PC. I have deployed it to the production server but when you pull the report within the application (PDF format) it has 3 additional blank pages on the end of the report. The report is the correct size. It does not excede the 8/11 page size including the margins, there are no hidden fields. The report does have 4 tables. I have even viewed the report from //localhost/reports on the server and it shows only one page and exports to pdf with one page. I have looked at all the postings that deal with Blank pages and nothing seems ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Change the color of a mesh?

  I'm currently using a simple mesh created in 3ds. I changed the color and exported several times until I had a rainbow of colored objects. This seems silly to me, but it got me moving along at the time. I would like to progress beyond this and be able to be able to change the color in code. I realize the answer to this might involve textures and/or lighting, so if the answer is not straightforward, could you at least tell me where to begin Do I need to create multiple textures and swap between them Thanks! Greg I guess you'd use a vertex shader for this. Texture your mesh greyscale and make sure you're using vertex colours. Then in the vertex shaderset the vertex colour to whatever you want it to be.

• SQL Server serious help with SQL

  blah blah blah Hello there, There was no malice involved here, so what's the issue If your Boss is responsible for managing such a poorly secured environment, perhaps it is he who should be fired. Maybe you ought to alert your boss' boss to his gross negligence. The sql errorlog file will only contain the fact that you logged-in if auditing is turned on for both failed and successful logins. It will not contain what database you attempted to connect to. Considering how poorly the environment seems to be managed, I doubt this to be the case. Anyway, you can't edit the current errorlog (usually located in in the MSSQL.n\LOG folder) whilst it is in use - you'll have to wait for mssql to be cycled, in ...Show All
