• Visual C++ Any C++ equivalent for "IS" C# function?

  Hi, Many times, available code examples are in C# or VB, a few in C++ unfortunately. I am wondering what would be the C++/CLI equivalent of following C# code, mainly the "IS" function: private void MenuHandler(object sender, EventArgs e) { MenuItem m; if(sender is MenuItem) <=== how do I translate this ... I looked if dynamic_cast could help me but without success. Any hint Thanks in advance, Stephane Hi,   Many thanks for replying.  I applied equivalent of following suggestion with success:                           ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Transfer VB.6 project to .NET for windows mobile 2003

  Hello! I'm new in this forum and I'm not so experienced in VB programming. Nevertheless I've done a project in VB.6 that runs on windows 98, 2000, xp and so on. I'd like to ask whether there is a certain method to setup this project fpr pocket pc's. It is somehow difficult, as I tried to import the VB.6 project to .NET which did not work correctly - and I don't know why. Of course, if someone is interested in helping me, I can post the source code in this forum. Pleeeeease help! Truly Bernd I don’t believe you can import VB 6 project into device VB.Net project. You might be able to convert it into desktop project then port it to device. Or, better, start from scratch. Considering you're & ...Show All

• Visual Basic Handling Repeated Arrow Keys

  I was amazed to read that noncharacter (eg. arrow) keys do not raise the KeyPress event in VB2005! I am developing a program where I want to capture, say, repeated down arrows key presses ... where the user holds down the DownArrow key for a few seconds and the program captures them all [the program has an overflow feature in the event the key is held down too long]. Am I correct in reading that this is not possible in VB2005 Surely not. Thanks. Oops ... I didn't make myself clear. I want to allow the user to hit the down arrow key and hold it down and as those repeated down-arrow characters come in I want an event handler to "capture" them. I have a stack mechanism where if the char ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Subversion folders/files are being included

  Hi, First, let me say that VSTS for DB Profs is definitely on its way to becoming a much needed product. So, keep up the great work! I do, however, have a quick comment. I am using Subversion as the SCC repository, and after adding the database project to the repo, the .dbproj now insists on including all of Subversions folders (.svn) and their files in the project. I have attempted at manually removing the <DBProjectFolder> and <DBProjectItem> elements from the .dbproj file, but it keeps readding them. Is this a known bug or am I missing something Thanks, Vitaly vito1281, have you attempted to imprort an exsiting SVN repository into VSTSFDB I have an exsiting reposito ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Map Control: What is legal?

  We are having a bit of trouble understanding the legal stuff for Virtual Earth. What we want is a very small internal system that simply displays a map with pushpins/custom icons. The system has a very small number of transactions daily. By internal system, we mean used by 3 people internally in a company. The site must not be accessible to the public. Can we do this free, or will we have to purchase a license Interesting you would fail the google maps criteria as they need it to be public.

• .NET Development Concurrency Violation with Delete Command

When I use the Delete button that was generated by the form generator I get the message "Concurrency Violation: the DeleteCommand affected 0 rows" and noting gets deleted. This is a single-user application and this is the only form using these tables, so how can I get a Concurrency Violation under these circumstances The database is Microsoft Access 2003 and the Master Table has a one-to-many relationship with the child table and Cascade Updates and Deletes is turned on.

• Visual Studio Example code and it's language

  How do I place example code in a code file that is language specific.

  Hi, I'm using the VS2005 Team System Eval on a PC that previously had VS2005 B1 and B2.  Both were uninstalled prior to installing the RTM.  I created a simple Smart Device dialog app to be built for a custom CE 5 platform.  If I build the solution without changing it, the following warning happens: MSVCRTD.lib(chandler4.obj) : warning LNK4099: PDB 'libbmtd.pdb' was not found with 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\lib\x86\MSVCRTD.lib' or at 'd:\projects\...\debug\libbmtd.pdb'; linking object as if no debug info Can someone point me in a direction to find out more about this   I googled "libbmtd", but nothing comes up.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow 2 input filter

  I have created a Directshow filter that has 1 input, the base class is CTransformFilter. The input is MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB24. The filter does some color correction. Now I would like to add another input and make it a two input video filter for DirectShow. The idea is to use the second input for doing a composite. Both inputs should be both MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB24. Has anyone done this before Should I still be using the CTransformFilter base class Or should I use another base class or extend CTransformFilter base class to support 2 inputs. If anyone has any code samples for 2 inputs vide filter that would be great Don James Yeah, so are we, but by no means are we pr ...Show All
