• Visual C++ Opening multiple files in a single program instance

  This is something that is done millions of times every day... Using Windows Explorer you double click a file to open it, the associated program starts up and the file is opened, if the associated program is already running, then the file is opened in that (already running) instance of the program. Simple... However, I'm having trouble finding how to do this simple feat with VC++ 2005, CLR, CLI, .NET. What is the simplest "supported" way to do this Seems you are looking for solution for making your program a single instance one.

• Visual Basic Create Web-like Forms as Windows App

  I have used VS 2005 to create a family-based web site ... about 100 pages/forms consisting of mostly text with some graphics thrown in for interest. I have no intention of putting this out on a publicly-accessible server but instead had anticipated burning everything onto CD's and then distributing that to family members so that they could view the site on their own machines (XP Pro SP2) using IE. In inquiring on this forum how to do that I am told that that is not feasible and that instead I should have created a windows app and simply deployed that app to the family (via CD). That's fine except for one thing ... I don't know how to create a web-like app as a windows app. For example, as I create the app I want to be able to easily highli ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Fullscreen problems....

  EDIT: I am using Beta 2. I use this as the constructor method... public Game1() { graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this); graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = 640; graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = 480; graphics.PreferMultiSampling = true; graphics.ToggleFullScreen(); content = new ContentManager(Services); } Works great. But when I change the resolution to 800x600, all I get is a black screen. The loop is still running because I can still quit the program. I have also tried 1024x768, that works too. Thought maybe it was an aspect ratio problem, but they are all the same, 1.3333... I have tried turning the multisampling off to no avail. Didnt think that would be it anyways, I play World of Warcraft at 800x60 ...Show All

• Windows Forms External component has thrown an exception

  Hi, I'm getting this error really sporadically in my Winforms app. Seems to happen when trying to display a form with a call to .ShowDialog(). It doesn't seem to happen on any particular form, just pops up now & again. I can close the application and restart it, then I can view the form without the error The application is running in a Citrix terminal server environment, the assemblies themselves are running from a network share. Can anyone think of what would be causing this error - why is it only happening every now & then (the worst sort of errors!).

• Visual Studio Express Editions HowTo: Startup Application Invisible in the System Tray

  The standard method for starting up an application invisible is to use the Sub Main() as the startup object, then load the form as necessary. However, if you want to use the application framework, this option isn't available. I've been wrestling with this problem for some time, and have several solutions, none of which are adequate. But what follows seems to be the best solution, but first, the 'broken kludge': One option was to have the form completely opaque, and set the ShowInTaskBar to false. Once the form has loaded, set the visibility to false, restore the ShowInTaskBarback to True, and set the opacity to that which is desired. There are two problems with this: 1. It requires an 'event' after the form has loaded to reset ...Show All
