• Visual FoxPro Printing Rich Text

  Hi, all Can anyone tell me if I cam print th content of a Rich Text Box In case I can't, is there any way to print formated text (i mean, with justification, italics, bolds, etc..) Thanks a lot I use OLE object to do that. I use a table with GENERAL field storing each 2 lines of the RTF source. And print it out like an IMAGE/PICTURE in the report. That job was finished 2 years ago. And it is now running on Fox 8. It is complicated. Including temp files, convertion programs, fields storing the source rtf, the plain text, and the image. Starting from this year, all the new project started to use HTML in most of the reports. so, I use the HTML format instead of RTF as the source text. ^O^ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tutorial on adding dataset from access database programatically

  Hi, After moving over the 2005 Express I have always used the Add New Datasource wizard from VC#2005e to add datasets but I have run into some problems sometimes.

• Windows Forms Parent/Child form data exchange question

  i am unsure if my data exchange architecture is unsound, and would like some advice please. here's the situation: my main form has a button. if that button gets clicked then a dialog gets opened. this dialog in turn has a button. if that gets clicked then a further dialog gets opened. you still with me ok good. i have read that it is better to not reference properties within parent forms so that the child forms will not break with code changes, and are more reusable. fair enough. in my situation, all my 3 forms need access to a non static class (lets call it MyClass for convenience). at the moment, when the main form is initialising, i am instantiating an instance of MyClass. so if dialog1 gets opened then i am passing a ref ...Show All

• Visual Studio Mixed-mode debugger hangs

  We have a quite large native C++ application with some parts in C++/CLI, and some GUI components written in C#. Recently, the mixed-mode debugger has become unusable for us because it hangs with a high CPU load as soon as the managed components are used. Visual Studio itself stays responsive, until I select 'break all' -- then VS itself also hangs, now without CPU load. During the high-CPU-load hang, VS uses ca. 59% of the CPU, our program (the debuggee) uses ca. 17%. The process explorer (from sysinternals) shows that VS uses CPU mainly in two threads which stay in ntoskrnl.exe. The number of objects marshalled also increases continuously. Here are typical call stacks for those two threads if I debug the devenv.exe and break execution: &g ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Trouble populating a ComboBox with an Enum

  Okay VB Experts, I know that this should be very simple, but I can't find the solution. I have an Enum & want to populate a ComboBox with the Enum's members. Public Enum Stuff stuff0 stuff1 stuff2 End Enum ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(Stuff) The above code bombs, but I have successfully added each item in the enumeration individually. ComboBox1.Items.Add(Stuff.stuff0) ComboBox1.Items.Add(Stuff.stuff1) ComboBox1.Items.Add(Stuff.stuff2) There must be a way that .NET will allow me to iterate through the members without listing each one. Your assistance will be appreciated, thanks. Or you can simplify the loading in this way: ComboBox1.DataSource = System.Enum.GetValues(GetType(MyEnum)) Regards Kapalic ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiler Warning ""At least one of the arguments for ... can not be marshaled"

  Hi, I keep getting compilier warnings like this: Warning 12 At least one of the arguments for 'COWSplineCalc.CalcSpline' cannot be marshaled by the runtime marshaler. Such arguments will therefore be passed as a pointer and may require unsafe code to manipulate. The warnings started after I moved the project to VS2005 running under Vista. I've found no documentation on the warning. Can I suppress it somehow Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Mikhail The problem is that that warning doesn't have a number... I can not suppress it using pragma. Of course I can suppress all warnings, but it's a bad-bad idea. (sorry, in my message "12" was just the count number (I also ...Show All

• SQL Server DrillThrough to Details.... Programming

  Hello, In the article on microsoft : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa175980(SQL.80).aspx It explains how to use ADOMD and ADODB to retreive detailed information for the cell returned from the analysis service. For example, detailed information (such as student ID, First name, last name.., etc) about the student that's in location Cincinnati. However, this example is quite old and doesn't apply to the new ADOMD.net (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.ADOMDClient). I tried to find any example on the web, but without success. Is there a way to retrieve underlying detailed information Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Annie Finally, I found some resources online and w ...Show All

  I am using this code in my applcation to shutdown my computer: Shell( "shutdown /s /t 0" ) I found that you cna change the message on the shutdown window by putting: c/"Message" but when i try this it doesn't shutdown. How can i incorporate it into the code Actually, given the opportunity to promulgate copious quotation marks, the urge to expediently respond using the initiators initial construct was overwhelming and obscured my customary observance of optimum style selection.
