• Visual Studio Express Editions ListView Scroll Vertical

  I just would like to know how to make my listview having a Vertical Scroll and not the Horizontal ! I think you may have to use Win32 ShowScrollBar: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/scrollbars/scrollbarreference/scrollbarfunctions/showscrollbar.asp example (unsure if this will work) //top of class, just after class declaration: [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern int ShowScrollBar(IntPtr handle, int wBar, int bShow) //method to show the scroll bar: ShowScrollBar(this.listView.Handle, 0, 0) hope it helps in some way! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem building Managed C++ project with Msbuild that has multiple assembly references

  I have a VS2005 solution that includes a Managed C++ project as well as several C# projects. The C++ project references several of the C# projects. All projects in the solution reference log4net.dll (as an AssemblyReference). My C++ project builds without any warnings using the VS2005 IDE. However, when I build the solution using MSBuild, I get zillions of warning messages such as: log4net.dll : warning C4945: 'LogicalThreadContextProperties' : cannot import symbol from '<some path>\log4net.dll': as 'log4net::Util::LogicalThreadContextProperties' has already been imported from another assembly 'log4net' For my managed C++ project, I set all references to be: Copy Local: true Copy Local Depencies: false Use Depend ...Show All

  It's finally all working, thanks for all the help! I've created a Sky Sphere demo to help me figure out how to do such a thing for my game. The texture for the sky sphere gets distorted around the poles, and I haven't figure out how to fix that, but otherwise it looks pretty cool.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating Open - Save File menu

  I am trying to figure out how to make a menu for saving & opening a file that my program has created. I coded the program to always open the same file but I want to be able to save records to other file as needed & not quit sure how to go about this any help would be great ty Hi x1trader1x, I think you will find that the best way to do this will be with the menustrip control and add a File menu with Open and Save on that menu (its the standard that is used in most applications so will not confuse to many people either). You will then need to add a SaveDialog contol and a OpenDialog control to you form and write the code to use this control on the click event. Have a look at http://msdn2.microso ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Truly Dynamic Runtime Activity Property Nirvana

  I'd like to acheive "Truly Dynamic Runtime Activity Property Nirvana". My most critical custom workflow activity needs to expose a list of items that is not known at custom activity compile time. Each item in the list can be bound to from other activities - this is a pretty powerful concept for our workflow application that makes it very useful for end users that design their own workflows with my custom activity. I've figured out a solution where this dynamic custom activity is possible but it involves dynamically generating / compiling a brand new custom activity class on the fly - not the prettiest solution and I'm trying to create a better solution. Ghenadie has a neat example of how to create dynamic properties here ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Framerate Question

  I am programming a 2D Halo game and I'm wondering the recommended framerate for a 2D game. Currently my game runs at 66-78 fps but the problem is that every 1/16 of a second, according to PIX the frame rate goes down to 30 - 38 fps. So is this natural or should I try drawing things at different times The reason I'm worried is because my computer has 3.2 Ghz processor and it also has a pretty good graphics card, but on other computers I don't know how low the framerate will be. wakawaka54 The 13 year old programmer When you see framerate dips in PIX captures, try capturing with other counters to see if those frames correspond to other 3D, in-process, or external events.

• .NET Development Memory leak in timer event

  Using Visual Studio 2005 PE Hello all, I am experiencing a memory leak in my project when I use a timer event. I decided to simplify things, so I created a simple test project based on Windows form: Action1: 1.Created a Windows Form 2.

Action2: Added counter to body of timer (increments on each timer event) static int x; x++; Observation: Memory leak ...Show All

• Visual Basic Compiler does not warn when assigning to readonly property

  I am maybe a newbie in VB .Net programming, but two recent incidents lead me to believe there are bugs in the VB compiler. Today, I finally discovered that compiler did not warn me even though, I was assigning a value to a public readonly property. Not only that, I have configured the project's compile settings to treat all warnings as errors. Option strict is on. This experience is similar to an earlier one where I was puzzled how in the world was it possible that a protected readonly structure variable in a mustinherit base class was indirectly overwritten in a totally unrelated calculation. Not only that, when I changed the structure declaration to a class declaration it would still overwrite the protected readonly variable. Th ...Show All
