• Windows Forms Creating a custom Cell type (and editor) to display different controls based on (read-only) cells in my DataSource

  I'm thinking that this might be a slightly bigger job than I anticipated when I planned out this project, but hey-ho and such. The basic situation I have here is that part of my datasource defines the functionality I want the editing control for other parts of the data to have. Let's just say that there's a "Data Type" field in each of the rows in the DataSource. Now, based on the value of that field, I would like to display one of a set of controls in an editable cell. The requirements of this range from CheckBoxes to data-entry fields to ComboBoxes. Now, I'm sort of getting round the idea of where I have to put what to get each of these customised controls working individually, but at the moment, I am at a loss as to h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Compile Error on machine without VS.NET 2005 installed

  Hi! We're getting the following error when compiling a simple web project using msbuild on a machine that has the .NET 2.0 framework on it but not Visual Studio.NET 2005 (machine 1). Running the build on a machine that has both the .NET 2.0 Framework and Visual Studio.NET 2005 works just fine (machine 2). We're wondering what might be different between them other than VS.NET 2005 being installed on machine 2. Does anyone happen to know if the full version of Visual Studio.NET 2005 needed to use msbuild when compiling web projects Other projects (i.e. Class Libraries) compile just fine one both machines 1 and 2.

• Visual Studio Express Editions window.h not found ?

  Hi: I've now been programming for almost a year with CodeBlocks and decided to switch to VisualC++ as I joined a team that is using it. So I install it and try to create a blank project: everything ok.

• Visual Studio Express Editions BackColor of text in TextBox

  My application has a search TextBox1 containing a search term. The search results show up in TextBox2. I would like for the search term in TextBox1 to have a yellow backcolor property in TextBox2 to make it easy to find ( like this ). Here is my best attempt so far: Dim searchTerm As String = TextBox1.Text If TextBox2.Text.Contains(searchTerm) Then searchTerm.Format( Of String , BackColor.Yellow)() End If I get an error message: Type 'BackColor.Yellow' is not defined which leads me to wonder if I am heading in the right direction with this code since I am interested in defining a string property value rather than data type. Any thoughts on how to proceed would be appreciated by this VB Newbie. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Windows competes for framerate?

  Hello all, I am running a windowed D3D scene for easier debugging so I have set the scene to pause when the window loses focus. This works fine when switching between windows but there is one flaw left. When my application has the focus and my mouse moves over any item on the taskbar, a helper popup appears that describes the item below the mouse cursor. Using Winspector to monitor whats going on, this popup comes from the SysShadow class and its like competing for framerate with my application, because it wants to fade in and fade out. When it starts to fade in, the framerate drops to 2-5FPS, just like when the application loses focus. When it fades out, the framerate goes back to normal. The D3D window recieves no window messages what ...Show All

• Visual C++ Hotkeys

  Hi Folks; I want to map some hotkeys for my Win32 app. I've used RegisterHotKey() calls for the standard keys but I also wanted to map function keys.

The complete list can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/winui/WinUI/WindowsUserInterface/UserInput/VirtualKeyCodes.asp For some reason, the documentation for RegisterHotKey doesn’t link to this information although it is in the MSDN Library if you search for “Virtual-Key Codes”.

• SQL Server Can not connect to SQL server 2000 on windows authentication mode

  Hello everyone, We have SQL server 2000 on windows 2000. From our desktop MS Access was connected to database through ODBC.

• Smart Device Development Application loses focus when closing a Form - but only on one Form it happens...

  Hi all, I have this strange problem/issue that I have had bothering me for a while now. I have an application where the users browses through Forms to perform various bits of functionality, and then closes the form to return back to the previous form (the Form from which it was openned), and the Focus is right back with the Form that openned the closed Form (if you know what I mean :)). Now this all works fine in my application apart from in one place, where when the called Form is closed, the calling form (or my Application even) doesn't get focus back until the 2nd tap on the application with the pen. The Windows start button and Input control on the MainMenu are focused and can be activated from the first click on them, but not my appli ...Show All
