• Windows Forms Is is possible to disable the mouse right click?

  Hi, I need to disable the mouse right click when a control (non microsoft) is clicked. This control is supposed to open a dialogue when is clicked but instead I need to perform other operations like closing and resizing etc Is this possible Thank you. You say the control isn't a microsoft one. I assume it is a .NET control right You should simply be able to Override the OnMouseDown() method to do what you want for the right mouse button. You could also just wire up and event to the MouseDown event for the control. The only problem here is that it might still do the default behaviour as well as what is in your event handler.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DropDown Menu Buttons

  I've been trying for a while to develop a custom WPF control that acts as a dropdown menu button. I'd like the XAML to look like: <DropDownMenuButton> <MenuItem Header="First Item"/> <MenuItem Header="Second Item"/> </DropDownMenuButton> This should show a clickable region, that when clicked opens up a Popup containing the MenuItems. From then on it should act as a normal menu. My main problem is that for MenuItems to work correctly then they must be inside a Menu element (try putting some nested MenuItems in XamlPad without an enclosing Menu element). Therefore DropDownMenuButton must be derived from Menu, and contain a Popup that appears upon a MouseDown event. Sounds easy Well how do ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem with Filters of GetOpenFileName and GetSaveFileName.

• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare --> Write Updates doesn't seem to be working.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Why does my displayed mesh dim when rotating on an LCD TV?

  Hi; I'm currently doing my programming on a 37 inch Sharp Aquos TV. My game is loading a moderately large mesh (64x64 triangles) and displaying it on screen in wire-frame mode. The strange thing is, when I rotate the mesh .....the mesh dims! At a rough guess, it's only 50% of the brightness it's displayed at when not being rotated. Because I run my apps at full speed for performance testing (about 459 FPS currently) at first I suspected that as I had synchronise with vertical retrace turned off, parts of the mesh were not being drawn in intermittent frames, therefore resulting in the overall apparent dimming. But when I set this.isfixedtimestep to true and turned on synchronise with vertical retrace ... the same thing happens! AT 60FPS ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) AutoParse Equivalent on Cider SplitView?

  Thanks to all concerned at Microsoft for the latest Cider CTP - I think SplitView is going to make life much easier. However, I've got a question: what's the most efficient way to tell Cider that I'd like it to parse what I've type in so far in the XAML and reflect that in the view Right now the simplest approach seems to be to click in the view - that causes it to update. But that requires me to take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse, which is a real pain. (Particularly compared to XamlPad where I don't have to do anything to get it to parse.) The view doesn't seem to support the usual Ctrl-PgUp/Ctrl-PgDn keypresses for moving between views on a single tab. (This lets you flip between HTML and design mode on a web page, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio Extensibility Forum FAQ

  The following is being posted on behalf of Dr. eX. -Aaron Marten Hi Sean, I suspect the problem referenced in that KB article is specific to packages that rely on that protected storage service. I also suspect this has nothing to do with the PLK verification process. As I mentioned earlier, that PLFA utility was created to address the issues we see regularly from partners creating new packages for VS. It's probably not going to help much with the problem you describe above. Following the logs though, I know where these messages are generated in the shell sources. We have an internal service called IVsAppQueryLoad, and the error you see is because a call to IVsAppQueryLoad::QueryLoadPackage failed. This QueryLoadPackage functio ...Show All
