• Audio and Video Development Side Scrolling Chapter Menu

  I'm trying to create a side scrolling chapter menu and was wondering if anyone has solved this riddle script side. Basically I want to scroll through chapter images using left and right arrow buttons, so the menu would start like this: < #1 #2 #3 > Then by clicking on the right arrow button it would then look like this: < #4 #5 #6 > And so on. The version I have built simply replaces the images (#1 replaced with #4, #2 replaced with #5 and so on). But I would love to make them scroll so the new images come in as if they are all on the track moving left and right. I did try to solve the problem be creating on long block of all the chapter images, masked behind a div that was only big enough to show th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Controlling and detecting what elements are droppable on the diagram and other elements

  Hi, I've created my first DSL which can accept DSRef items from the server explorer. To implement I followed some samples which are already described on the forum. In an overriden OnAssociated I bind the DragOver and DragDrop events and check for a CF_DSREF type. This is all working OK and I'm creating business objects, attributes and relations fromt the database metadata. My issue is that I managed to change something in the DSL which prevents business objects being dropped from the toolbox onto the diagram. So I'm looking for leads on which properties control this behaviour and where in the underlying DSL tools framework sources I can debug to get more knowledge of how this is implemented.

• .NET Development Compiled Regular Expression...setup during runtime...

  If one specifies that the regular expression should be compiled into the assembly, how does that affect a dynamic creation of the expression For example, the areas in red are specific to the string.format where a delimiter defined at runtime that is being inserted. Regex( string.Format ("( <= {0} |^)( :\") ( <Column>[\\w\\.\\- ]*)( :\") ( = {0} |$)", this.Delimiter ), RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture | RegexOptions.Compiled); Since it is generated at runtime...how, or if, does that affect that it will be compiled into the assembly Or am I misunderstanding compiled The documentation says the first time run it will incur a penalty...

• Visual Studio Express Editions TableLayoutPanel Formatting Help

  Hi, I have created a TableLayoutPanel (TLP) in my application and I am having trouble formatting it to have the look I desire. I created the TLP in the form designer; it has 4 columns and 20 rows. The column widths are set to absolute 100; they should fit inside the TLP’s width of 450. It requires a vertical scrollbar, but no horizontal scrollbar. My difficulty is that the fourth column fills the remaining horizontal space (150) and both the Horizontal and Vertical scroll bars are present. I have tried to fool VB, but so far it is unfoolable! I have added a fifth column just to make the fourth column the correct width. This is a partial solution, but the horizontal scrollbar is my nemesis. Any suggestions ...Show All
