• Visual C# How to get the active application

  I have the code to get the active window (for example notepad) and the capiton of the program (untitled - Notepad) But now I want to get the application, cause if I save a file in notepad the capiton will change. And I need something unique, like the program name. I mean I can start notepad a zillion times, it will always be called notepad. So does anyone know how to do this in C# You should keep a local var lastHwnd, or whatever. int currentHwnd = GetForeGroundWindow(); if(currentHwnd != lastHwnd) { lastHwnd = currentHwnd; ///do the process stuff } Save on the process thrashing... ...Show All

• Visual C++ Urgent Super easy question ! I cannot use the protected method of DataGridView

  Hi there! I am using VC++ in Visual Studio 2005. I have created a DataGridView, and I am trying to use the "SetSelectedRowCore" method (it is a protected method) of that DataGridView to highlight (select) say row number 3. but the compiler says this protected method, SetSelectedRowCore, cannot be accessed !!!!!! please help! this should be a quick one for you guys ! Thank alot in advance. Cheers Best wishes, gon_no1 Hi. Well this is protected method. Protected means that you can access it via child class.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to turn off anti aliasing for small text?

  Anti aliasing small text tends to make the letters look blurry and indistinct. I cannot find a way to disable the anti-aliasing of text in WPF and as a result label or button text looks really bad. Ideally I'd like to disable anti aliasing globally for font sizes below a certain size. How can I accomplish this -Ryan rfuller987@hotmail.com I did a bit more research on this and it seems the entire foundation of ClearType for smaller fonts relies on "hinting". However, its obvious that NO hinting is being applied to the fonts that are rendered (see images above). More information can be seen here in this video interview - http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx PostID=147814 For thos ...Show All

• Visual Studio Super slow installation for VS2005 SP1 beta

  Well, it’s not something new, there are people at Microsoft that work hard to make our life easier, like the Microsoft Windows Vista installer for example, an entire OS in 20 min; and there are some less experienced developers (my assumption only) who are given for some reason the task of creating the VS2005 SP1 installer. Whoever wrote that thing, he, she or they, can say whatever they want, but to take 2 hours to get the SP1 beta installed is just damn stupid, here are 2 hours by a million people in the world, a total of 2 million hours lost, thanks to a group of developers at Microsoft, maybe they could have spend 100 more hours to learn math, or to profile the installer, and could have saved the world a million hours ...Show All

• Visual C++ makefile project never up-to-date

  Hi, When creating a makefile project using VS2005 that wraps a call to nmake, it seems that Visual Studio always thinks that it's out-of-date and attempts to build it. I've tried explicitly setting the output filename (in project settings, NMake, Output) but this doesn't have any effect. I have a test case that simply contains a project with a makefile that does a file copy, and you can see that VS always invokes nmake, even if the file is up-to-date. Let me know if you want it. It's not clear to me how VS infers what the output file should be compared against Am I missing something Btw, the behaviour is the same in VS2005 and SP1.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Request: Direct3D 10 Layer for Direct3D 9

  Direct3D 10 Technology Preview Engine Abstractions / Separation Applications, including Games, that wish to support both Direct3D 9 and Direct3D 10 at the same time need to have the rendering layers abstracted from the rest of the code base. There are many ways to achieve this but key to all of them is the design of the abstraction layer for the lower level Direct3D device. All systems should communicate to the hardware through the common layer which is designed to provide GPU resource and low level type management. Maybe it’s only me but this is a step back in Direct3D usability. As much as I am like the idea of “No more caps” the price that especial small developers have to pay for it is high.
