• Visual C++ MFC CHeaderCtrl height & VS 05 Windows XP theme

  After updating my application to Visual Studio 2005, I can no longer set the height of CListCtrl header when using Windows XP theme UI. Previously I was able to set the header height by setting the header control font to a larger font but using owner-draw and drawing the the header ctrl using a regular font.. With VS 05 this no longer work. The header ctrl height does not change anymore depending on the its font. What is the appropriate mechanism of setting the height for CListCtrl header I need to display two lines of information for each header item and that's why I need to maker the header ctrl height larger. Found the solution on the web. Using the font size to set the CHeaderCtrl height of an MFC ...Show All

• Windows Forms Threading Problem

  Hi I have a winforms application which does some database processing and updates a progress bar. As it does the processing, it also writes to a log file using log4net. I would like to add a Multiline text box to the application which can be used to display the a "tail" of the log file. How can I do this After you've appended characters to the TextBox' Text property, call its Update() method to force it to repaint itself. Using a BackgroundWorker to execute the database processing is possible too, use its ProgressChanged event to update the text. ...Show All

• SQL Server Sync SQL2000 to SQL on an external Web Server

  Hello All, I would like to connect my SQL server which sits on a LAN to a SQL server on the internet and have them sync-ed. Both would basically contain matching information that needs to be the same at almost any given point in time. Can some one indicate how this would be possible Thanks MP Sorry about the delay. I am familiar that replication comes from way back. I also know that there are some bugs that can hurt like if ur meta data is not the same. What i would like to know though is any other way for doing the sync. Maybe a SQL script that runs and looks for changes in the datasets then does the update for you, and would this be schedulable in SQL without failing, a ...Show All

• Visual C# execute method from another form

  I would like to have a class with many methods used by all my project's forms. but how can access those methods available from inside of a form's class. thanks in advance, Edward well you simply create an instance of the class you wish to use, from any class (or any form, technically a form is a class file) and then execute the method however the method or property in question MUST be made public for other classes to access that method outside the class itself which has those methods. Example: //class Test public void DoTest() { //do stuff } //main form: Test theTestClass = new Test(); theTestClass.DoTest(); //will execute this method, since its accessible and exists in the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding Source Question

  Okay. Here's a tough one for all you experts out there. I have a form with several textboxes and comboboxes. There is a button on the form that will open another form. Each form has it's own tableadapter. Both tableadapters share a common field called Card_ID. I have created a relationship between the two tableadapters joined with the Card_ID field. Here's my problem. When the user clicks on the button on the first form, I need to "save" the record in order for the data that is entered into the second form to "save" because the relationship requires a Card_ID in a record on the first form in order to match it with a Card_ID from the second form. I've been able to do that, but when the user closes the second form, th ...Show All
