• Windows Forms Display ListViewItem ToolTip for Entire Row

  Hi, I'm having trouble getting a ToolTip to display for my list view. It's likely that the list view will be too narrow to display all of the columns so I want to pop up a tool tip displaying the item when you hover over it's row. The problem is I have fullrowselect = true so it only shows the ToolTip when hovering over the item, not the subitems. I've tried this: private void lvPeople_MouseMove( object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { ListViewItem it = lvPeople.GetItemAt(e.Location.X, e.Location.Y); if (it != null ) { toolTip1.SetToolTip(lvPeople, it.ToolTipText); } } and I get no tooltips at all. Change the GetItemAt() call to this: ListViewItem it = lvPeople.GetItemAt(0, e.Location.Y); ...Show All

• .NET Development Sharing library between embed web server and application

  Hi, I'm making an application that embed Cassini as web server to command application with WebServices. The Web Service and the application use both a library that I'll call "myLib.dll". If I compile both with references to this library, the application copies it on the root directory and the web project copies it on the "bin" directory. So during the execution, the application and the server use different libraries, so the static variables have bad values. I would like the web server and the application could call the same library, ie that cassini loads it from the root or the application loads it from the bin directory. I try since one week with no results. It would be great if someone could help me. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development multimedia with WM5

  Hi, I am trying to use WMP10 on window mobile 5.0 from c++ and would like to know if I need to install WMP 10 SDK Reference to other useful link or thread related to this topic would be great. cheers, Yes, install the WMP10 SDK. The type libraries are compatible in that they use the same GUIDs. WMP10 Mobile simply does not implement some of the interfaces or methods/properties, so you need to watch for E_NOINTERFACE when doing QI or E_NOTIMPL when calling a method or getting/setting a property. Also the documentation includes references to WMP10 Mobile and whether the particular functionality is supported on it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Delete Field Error?

  I am working on our process template and I have a custom field I added as a PlainText field. I later wanted to change the field type to HTML. I deleted all the projects using the template. I deleted the template. I used witfield.exe to delete the field, and if I try to delete it again, I get an error, so I assume it's gone. I changed the template to have the HTML field type. I cannot use the new template. I get the error that my field used to be of type PlainText and I am trying to redefine it as HTML. Am I missing some step somewhere Or could it just be a caching error on the server I had followed all my field names with a number, indicating the version of the field, when I put th ...Show All

• .NET Development Derived types and System.Collection.Generic.Dictionary?

  Hi, I have a Dictionary in one of my classes: private Dictionary<string, RobotPart> _parts = new Dictionary<string, RobotPart>(); RobotPart has many derived Classes (Rod, Joint, Body, etc.) . I have a method called GetFlatPartList that flattens out a treelike structure of RobotPart objects, for easy iteration through the child objects. Hopefully, once I hit "post" my tabs will be kept for the following method: EDIT: I took this method out, and placed it in the following post for readability Now, my problem is that my program will crash, giving me an invalid cast exception when I am trying to search (using a for each statement) for any Type other that RobotPart, even though they (Joint, Rod, Body, etc.) are ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is there any funciton which can tell me my computer is busy or not in vc ?

  Is there any funciton which can tell me my computer is busy or not in vc Martin - That is very kind of you to provide source code! Thank you. I noticed the source code has both a GetCpuUsage ( ) function and GetCpuUsage(LPCTSTR pProcessName) that appear to be almost identical, with one minor exception. You first start with LONGLONG lnValueDelta = lnNewValue - lnOldValue; double DeltaPerfTime100nSec = (double)NewPerfTime100nSec.QuadPart - (double)OldPerfTime100nSec.QuadPart; double a = (double)lnValueDelta / DeltaPerfTime100nSec; The question is: what is lnValueDelta The amount of IDLE time GetCpuUsage ( ) uses: double f = (1.0 - a) * 100.0; CpuUsage = (int)(f + ...Show All

• Visual C++ "Custom build step" of a project: execution rule ?

  Hi, I am presently using "Visual Studio 2005". I defined a project to generate a DLL X but I needed to do other operations on this DLL X to generate a file Y. So I added a "Custom Build Step" on the project file to generate the Y file. I defined Y as the output file and I even added X as an additional dependency file. I changed the execution order of the Custom Build Step and put it before the "Post Build Event". The problem is that the generation of Y seems to be unpredictable. Sometimes the "Custom Build Step" doesn't run, even if Y is outdated compared to X. And sometimes the "Custom Build Step" always run, even if Y is newer that X... In both case the configuration seems the same. So I don't understand how it is supposed to work. I rea ...Show All
