• Visual Studio Trapping the F5 menu command

  I'm having some difficulty in trapping the F5/Start Debugging command. I've tried adding the command like this: id = new CommandID(VsMenus.guidStandardCommandSet97, 295); command = new OleMenuCommand(new EventHandler(ShowConsole), id); mcs.AddCommand(command); but no luck. I've also added a section in the commands table like this: CMDUSED_SECTION guidVSStd97:295; CMDUSED_END My other user defined commands work ok - I can trap and handle them fine. Is there anything else I need to do Thanks Dermot I've figured out how to do this by overridding the ExecCommandOnNode method of the ProjectNode class. Works fine.

• Windows Forms Continue event processing after a prompt within the Validating event handler

  I have many controls visible simultaneously on my Windows Form. One of them is an "editor," and when the user tries to leave that control by clicking on another control, I want to prompt the user to save their editing session, with a "Yes/No/Cancel" prompt. If the user clicks "Yes" or "No", then (after saving if they clicked "Yes"), the original click event should be processed. if they click "Cancel," the user should remain in the original "editor" control. To cancel, I just set the Validating event handler's CancelEventArgs argument's Cancel property to true (i.e., in C#: e.Cancel = true; ). However, displaying the MessageBox prompt in the Validating event inter ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How I get the skin weights?

  Hey, I am trying to understand how animations works in XNA. I have modified the content processor to get the vertex buffer of a mesh from a model in a raw data, and I believe that it is in the vertex buffer where the skin weights indices of each vertex for each bone is stored.

• Visual C++ Specifying DLL Location

  I've a C++/CLI console application which utilizes a custom-written DLL. How do I specify the location of the DLL when I startup the application I would like to have the DLL stored somewhere other than the current directory of the application. I think your problem can be solved using "delay-loaded" DLL. You can mark your DLL as delay-loaded using a linker option. Your EXE application will provide an implementation of certain helper functions which load your DLL from required location. This seems to be a large topic and you can start here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/151kt790.aspx . Alternatively you can load your DLL explicitly using LoadLibrary an ...Show All

You can set a breakpoint by clicking the grey column to the left of the source code for a line . Then right click and click "Conditional" and then type your expression. ((HasCompleted==true) || (Counter>20)) then click okay. You can also do this from the Breakpoint window via debug -> windows -> breakpoints. Hope this helps. ...Show All
