• Visual C++ LNK2019, the EXTERN keyword and __imp_*

  Hi everyone, for hours I've been trying to build a particular library (particularly sdl) with a dependency to a static libary which I've successfully built before (particularly libjpeg.lib). Though I have listed this lib file by "additional dependecies" in the linker options (and I verified that it's being read, renaming the file for testing purposes results in a file not found error), I'm still stuck on some unresolved external symbols. The well-known linker error message looks like >IMG_jpg.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_jpeg_std_error referenced in function IMG_InitJPG then. Dumpbin actually shows me that the symbol exists inside the library (gives me "8982 jpeg_std_error" in the symbol ...Show All

• Visual Basic splash screen

  I understand the concept of the splash screen, in that its only supposed to be visible while the program or forms behind it load, but I want to use it as a login screen for a program I am working on. I want it to stay up until the ok button is clicked. Is that possible or should i just nix the whole splash screen idea.. Please help! ( code is always good!) You want a login screen, not a splash screen. They are there for different purposes. Use a splash screen for a splash screen and a login form for a login form. Use the login form template for what you want. You can use the login form as you start form for your application requiring them to validate before allowing use of your application. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Shellexecute on win98 / XP / 2003 server.

  does Shellexec behave differently on win98 than on XP I have a shellexecute command to unzip a zip file. The 'pfiles' folder the zip file resides in is under the folder the application runs in: =ShellExecute(0,"OPEN","unzip.exe","pfiles\01.zip","",1) On XP machines it works fine.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Search the map

  Hey all, I've tried doing a search of this forum for this but so far I havn't found anything. This seems like a really simple problem, or so I'm hoping. I've been fiddling with virtual earth since yesterday and going by these pages , I've succesfully inserted a map control in a little site and have got the form button controls for panning and zooming working, but the search part has me stumped. Any search gives an error, and the details say the VE_SearchManager is undefined. This actually doesn't surprise me since I didn't see it declared anyplace, but still, I have no idea what to do now. Have a read of this article where I explain how to use search in the Finding section. http://viavirtualearth.com/V ...Show All

• SQL Server How to know which report is running

  Hi All, Is there any way or tool to monitor Report Server so we could see which report is currently running And also can we alert/warn user about the processing time of the report Thanks and Regards, Uzzi You can check the ExecutionLog table to find history of reports which have been run. However, this table does not get populated until the reporting completed execution. The RunningJobs table shows reports which are currently executing. You will need to join this reportid from this table to the itemid in the catalog table to get the actual report name. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Menu Bar and Command Bar headaches..

  Well, I love IE7... I didn't at first, but I got used to it. I've JUST started using it again because I started using FireFox once 7 came out, but I stopped using it so I need some answers if anyone would have them. (That, kids, was a run-on sentence. =D) I find it annoying that I can't put the menu bar above the address bar. Is there any way to move it Even if it requires editing files of any sort, I'm in. (I still dunno why they didn't have it above to START with... ) Also, whenever I click "Add or Remave Commands..." the window pops up, but it goes off in a fraction of a second.

• Visual C++ Vector trouble

  Hi I have created a class (call it class B) that has a data member of a pointer to an object of a different class(call it class A) (to avoid the overhead of each class B object holding a class A object itself). For example: class A{ // N.b. the actual class has a much larger memory size than this example int j; }; class B{ A* pointerToObjectOfClassA }; The problem is that I would like to hold objects of class A in an STL vector so that I can avoid having to manage the memory myself. But then how would I reference a specific object held in this vector within class B A vector iterator wouldn't work as it could become invalid if the vector was changed. The only thing I could think of was for class B to hold ...Show All
