• Visual C++ Libraries & Header files

  I'm trying to make libraries, either static or DLL of subroutines I've written. A point I've so far been unable to find explained is how the program calling the routines is told what library to look in for the subroutine. When I'm calling routines in the standard C libraries I have to include an appropriate header, but when I look at the code in those headers I don't see anything that indicates where the executable code for the routines is stored. Can you tell me where some documentation that will tell me how to get the linker to look in a static library I've created, or how to get an executable to look in a specific DLL I wrote these subroutines in C, but I want the option of calling them from C programs or Visual Basic progra ...Show All

• Visual C# Casting a TreeNode

  Hi, I have a class that extends TreeNode by adding extra fields that I need: namespace My.Controls { public class MyNewTreeNode : System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode { public MyNewTreeNode() : base() { } public MyNewTreeNode(string text) : base() { } private int severity; public int Severity { get { return severity; } set { severity = value; } } } } My click methods for example are sent an argument from which I can find which Node is clicked by doing e.Node. This node is a TreeNode so I tried to cast it to a MyNewTreeNode so that I could get the severity information from it like so: MyNewTreeNode nodeIn = (MyNewTreeNode)e.Node; However, this gave me a cast exception at runtime saying that I couldn't cast from a System.Win ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Platform SDK SP1

  Hi, I had installed the Windows Platform SDK SP1 on Windows Vista Beta2. The installation completed successfully, but failed to install the x86 compilers. When installed on Windows XP, it installs c:\program files\microsoft platform\sdk\bin\cl.exe ; but when installed on Vista, no such file is created. Is there something I'm missing in here Thanks in advance for all the replies. Thanks and Regards, Ravindra Rajaram. Hi Melinda, Thanks a lot. I downloaded the Beta 2 for Windows SDK and I could install it successfully and have the x86 compilers. I had to reset my environment variables as the directory structure seemed to be a bit diffrent from the SP1 release. Apart from that, no issues until now. Thanks fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to refresh and / or publish a filtered list of work items?

  Hi, It appears that the 'Get Work Items' function on the team menu in MS Project is only there to 'create new tasks' in Project. Is it possible to refresh work items in MS Project for a filtered list of work items from Team Visual Studio For example: I would like to exclude tasks in project from being refreshed with a state of 'Closed'. This not only overcomes feature shortcomings of the integration between these 2 systems but it also addresses performance/ speed issues. Thanks. Samar Refreshing filtered list of work items in MS Project is not possible in v1. However, you can set 'Publish and Refresh' field to 'No' for all the work items that you don't want to refresh and then hit Refresh button ...Show All

• SQL Server KPI's - getting the second last value

  Hi, I have set up a LastNonEmpty measure to get me the most recent reading for a KPI. For example, ( [Measures].[Last RESULT], [Production Units].[Dim Production Units].[Plant 1], [Prod TDV Params].[Dim Production Params].&[CO2] ) gets me the last recorded CO2 reading for Plant 1. Now I need the trend expression - is there a sneaky way to get the second last value without creating a new measure Thanks. Well, one way that I can think of is to define a named query or view for the fact table, which filters out the most recent reading for fixed values of other dimensions. Then a 2nd measure group with a LastNonEmpty measure could be created on this filtered fact table, to get t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using hotkeys to select edit boxes

  Hi Folks; I've looked (and asked) everywhere and my resource-finding skills have proven wanting. My question is simple as is the answer I assume. I have a number of hotkeys registered in a Win32 app. Hitting those keys should set the caret in one of several text fields though I haven't found anything that shows how to do that. Any suggestions This a standard feature of the IsDialogMessage function, so in a dialog this works if a static control with a text that contains a & before a standard character is placed just before the edit control. The the ALT key and this character is pressed IsDialogMessage moves the focus to the next edit control. So if you are using a modal Dialog this is the standard behaviour. ...Show All

• SQL Server Question to ytd()

  Hi, Ihave a Time-Dimension with 2 hierarchies: (a) Year - Semester - Quarter - Month and (b) Year -Week. Than I have a calculated member in my Cube like: CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE .[MEASURES].[Sales Volume KG (kum.)] AS Sum ( ytd (), [Measures].[Sales Volume KG]), FORMAT_STRING = "#,#.00" , VISIBLE = 1 ; When I browse the cube and I use the (a) hierarchy on the colums, all works fine; I get the accumulated sums over Semesters, Quarters, Month.
