• Windows Forms Tooltip not showing in custom control after click

  I created some custom controls, every one with its own tooltip. The tooltip shows correctly if I don't click on the controls but after the first click it shows no more. Do you know why This is the code I use: this->myToolTip->InitialDelay=10; this->myToolTip->ReshowDelay=10; this->myToolTip->ShowAlways=true; this->myToolTip->SetToolTip(this,"Click to toggle connection of the EEG signal to this parameter"); I only add the tooltip and set caption. ...Show All

• SQL Server Measure Expression in Query ?

  Hi - I want to do a query like this, in management studio, but it is giving me an error message. select sum ({ TopCount ([Asset].[Asset].[Asset]. members ,5,([Portfolio].[Portfolio].&[DD2342342],[Measures].[Value Base]))}, [Measures].[Portfolio Weighting]) on columns from [MIQB Daily] I tried different strto.. functions but didn't find any proper solution.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to prevent Explorer to open the "Prepare this disc" dialog

  Hello, I'm working on a tool to mount arbitrary sessions on a multi session disc. It works fine on W2k and XP. On Vista, it also works fine, as long I issue my mount commands via a command line application. Using a shell extension on Vista with a recorder device, quite frequently causes Explorer to open the "Prepare this disc" dialog. Clicking Next and confirming disc preparation usually damages the media. Question: How to avoid Explorer from opening this dialog Hello strix, Essentially, you want to disable 'media change notification' so that shell doesn't (temporarily!) recieve notification that the state of the drive has changed. There are a few ways to do this... Probably the simplest i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CTP5 - TF10175 error adding to source control while loading schema

  Hi Started with a new SQL 2005 Wizard project with an existing database. Getting a lot of errors but this is the one that worries me the most: "TF10175: The team project folder $/FHI_2.SYSVAK does not exist. Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator and ask that it be created." etc Correct in the sence that this project doesn't exist but  this is by design . Our team project folder is named FHI.SYSVAK. The first time I did this I got the same error except from the "missing" project folder beeing $/FHI_1.SYSVAK. Have to do an inspect of our code repository me thinks :-| TFS checked it in in the right place though Brumlemann Solution Architect Update: Checked the project file and it contained hard ...Show All

• Visual C# How to clone List<IBaseClass> that contains derived classes?

  If I have the following object model: interface IBaseClass { object Clone(); } interface IDerivedA : IBaseClass { object Clone(); } interface IDerivedB : IDerivedA { object Clone(); } interface IDerivedC : IDerivedB { object Clone(); } For each interface there is a concrete class that implements the interface.

• Visual C++ Multi-dimension arrays in VC++ 2005 for n00bs

  Okay, a little background: I'm an aerospace engineer, not a programmer, but I'm experienced in C, and I'm using VS2005 to make some simple-ish tools for our group. I'm trying to declare a multi-dimensional array in VC++ through the 'standard' method... double test[5][5]; ...and then access it in the 'standard' way... test[0] = something I'm putting in there.; ...but it's not working. When I debug, the Watch says that test is a double[][] of length 5. So far, so good, but when I expand it, instead of the 'standard' syntax, it comes up like this.... test[0,1] Length 0 double[] test[0,2] Length 0 double[] ...and so on. I've dug through our copy of MSDN, and online and there ...Show All

• .NET Development SQLBULKCOPY DATE FORMAT PROBLEM

  Hi guys, I have come across an infuriating problem. I have an excel spreadsheet with formatted data. I also have a SQL Server table with 17 columns all nvarchar(255). I have been trying to use SQLBULKCOPY to import the data from the worksheet to the table. This worked with only limited success as it seems to ignore certain values and insert nulls. I converted my excel spreadsheet to a CSV file and tried the same. Now it imports most of the values but seems to be very VERY odd in its handling of what it perceives to be data in date format. In certain cases it ignores the value altogether and inserts NULL, in others it inserts the value but formats it into a datetime format instead. I don't want it to do this, I simply want it to save ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with Tabcontrol

  Hello everybody! I ran into a problem using the .NET 2.0 Tabcontrol: I need to have the single tabs left-aligned instead of top-aligned, but when I set the alignment property in the visual designer to "left", something goes wrong with the control. Eg. the text displayed on the tab registers disappears and the whole control seems to look a little strange (can't point the finger on something specific though...). Without the text on the registers the thing becomes somewhat useless. So, is there a way to fix it or any kind of work-around Thanks a lot, Tobias Koerner Here's a C# port, unfortunately I have the same problems in the Designer. Perhaps OnHandleCreated() is not getting calle ...Show All

• Visual Basic Why does the Graphics Path shape not display correctly?

  Hi pals, Yesterday i posted a very long thread on my drawing a Graphics shape. Let me be brief here: First of all, The path is filled and drawn with the right and bottom sides clipped. I don't know how to get around this bug. How can I draw it correctly so that the it fills and draws a border nicely without any clipping. Note: I am using a graphics path object here, not a rectangle( where i could use the inflate method) Secondly, after drawing the shape and assigning as a region to a control, the result is so crappy: jagged pixeled lines. When i don't do any region assignment, the drawn lines are smooth and nice(even though the right-bottom clipping still occurs). Please I really need your help on this. I have dived into GDI ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Text looks blury and hard to read.

  I need to place lots of text in different places in world space. I have tried a few things but they all look rubbish. Worst is using the 3D Text which puts the text on a mesh. I then tried to use 2D text (using LPD3DXFONT) to improve things, which looks great if you place it in screenspace but as soon as I flag the sprite I am drawing it on with D3DXSPRITE_OBJECTSPACE the text goes all blury. I also tried doing something similar to what a previous person in the forum asked how to do (i.e drawing to a texture then placeing the texture on a primative) but that also looks blury. Any ideas guys PS I am working in unmanaged DirectX9 with C++, but if you know in managed/c# its easy to translate (usally if we have the functions in unmanaged) ...Show All

• SQL Server TSQL Store Procedure is really COMPILED?

  Hi: I have thought that TSQL Store Procedure IS COMPILED, but I'm proving Store Procedure SQLCLR (asembly in SQL SERVER 2005) , and now I think that TSQL is only a script TSQL stored in the DB.... I'm wrong Thanks for your comments! Yes, stored procedures are compiled. Compilation is an operation where code is compiled / translated to a more machine related code. Nevertheless SQL Server stored the procedure text in the DB. The compiled results will acts as a plan how to execute the query / stored procedure.
