• Visual FoxPro How to implement Mouse leave for a form.

  I have a very small form that opens up to display some info. I'd like the form to close when the mouse leaves the form. I noticed there is no mouseleave or mouseenter for forms. Any other method to do this Thx In vfp 7 you have: MouseLeave Event - mouse moves out of an object. You may drop a rectangular shape at margin of the form. When mouse leaves the object (aprox.same area with the form) form will close. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Managing Code Analysis Rules at an Enterprise level

  We have TFS and VSTS Developer Edition and we have ~150 developers. I have 2 goals regaring Code Analysis: 1) I need to make it as easy as possible for developers (employees and contractors) to load an Enterprise set of rules for Code Analysis and run them as part of their builds. Migrating rulesets from a Team Project policy doesn't work because its only additive (we specifically want a lot of rules unchecked for legacy applications, and to get people used to using code analysis). I have written a VS2005 add-in that handles this, but it doesn't work for websites yet (questions below). 2) I need an eventual enforcement mechanism such that a developer cannot successfully build on our build server unless they "pass" the rules ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing a line?

  I've looked at a few threads regarding this, but to be honest, when it comes to primitives, I havent a clue (I'm a 2D relic), now loading images etc etc is pretty simple stuff, I looked in the docs and found an example that is pretty much overkill to my needs, and its just a jumble. All I'm after is how to draw a line from x,y to destinationX, destinationY. Can someone run through it for me, maybe explain a little whats going on, as I'd like to know, it should be simple, but alas, its confusing the life out of me! :D Thanks in advance Dabz It is not as simple in XNA as it was with GDI to draw lines and shapes.

• SQL Server Cannot remotely connect on SQL Server Instances by name.

  Hi all, On my computer I have installed two instances of SQL Server 2000. The first one is the default instance of SQL Server Personal Edition and the second one is an MSDE instance. From other PCs on the company LAN I can connect, by name, only to the first one and not to the MSDE instance. I have tried the combination IP Address, TCP Port and it work fine.

• Visual C++ Can i make VS play a sound when build is done?

  Is this possible i know there are post build events and such but even when i try to print an ascii bell char to make it beep, it does not work. it would just be good to know when the build is finished. Actually, there's the Visual Studio 2005 IDE enhancements that includes the Event Toaster that will allow you to associate sounds with various Visual Studio 2005 events including build: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=cd7c6e48-e41b-48e3-881e-a0e6e97f9534&displaylang=en ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListView background color when not focused

  Hi I've been playing with ListViews for the past few days and have finally managed to get it styled the way I want. Now I've got one last problem: the background color of the selected row changes to a light grey when the ListView looses focus. Basically what I'm trying to do is get a ListView to look like a grid (totally transparent), but with the extra features (like automatic column sizing) of the ListView just in case I need them. So far I've created a list view that is totally transparent. The column headings are plain text, with the background showing through. There are no mouse over effects, no resize ability, no column drag ability i.e. the column headings are not buttons any more. Perfect. The same applies to the items: co ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting an interface implementation from a type

  Hi There, I have an assembly which contains a type which I know to implement a specific interface. I can retrieve the interface from the type but whenever I try to cast the type directly to the interface (to get its implemented properties) the cast fails. Here's the code: Type plugInInterface = type.GetInterface( "IPlugIn" ); // This succeeds and I get plugInInterface back. if (plugInInterface != null ) { // Found the a type that implements the IPlugIn interface. // Load it up! IPlugIn plugInType = null ; if (type is IPlugIn ) // This fails. { plugInType = type as IPlugIn ; } } Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here It seems that if I can successfully retrieve the ...Show All

• SQL Server upgrading to 2005

  I have been assisgned the task of upgrading to sql 2005. I was given a dell poweredge 1850 and the sql standard edition 2005 w/ 5 cal disk. I have only used sql a little to make data changes in tables. My boss expects me to figure this out on my own which I like to do anyway. I remember he mentioned when I am ready he would tell me the path to a backup. I guess there is a server on the network that is only in place in the case of the current live one going down. I have been reading this helpful site and hope someone can give me some basic logical steps to take. I feel overwhemed by all the data posted. Please help me if you have time. Oh ya, right now we have sql server 2000 running with about 20 databases on it. It has some tables that t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Refactor - cannot get it to work

  I just loaded Refactor on my system that has VS 2005 Pro on it. After starting VS2005 I edited a few projects. I placed the cursor on a line and pressed Ctrl+~ , but nothing happened. I even created a new project, added some code, and pressed Ctrl+~ ...again nothing. I have even rebooted (when all else fails). Still cannot get it to work. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom Yes, it's very cool. In fact I may well buy the Pro version in the near future because 1. You get about 50 or so refactorings. 2. It supports C#. 3. It supports both VS 2003 and 2005 And as I work as a contractor I'm likely to be working in all these scenarios in the next couple of years, i.e., using VS 2003 ...Show All
