• 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 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=905860&SiteID=1&mode=1 Perhaps note my own elementary use of "define window ... name" (command) here (today). ... with addobject() of an image object to the resultant form-container. ... as a workaround bridge to implementing swift form release during mousemove or mouseleave events ... upon a strategic *wait-window-nowait-like* form object. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Adding to potential test results for Manual Test

  Hi there, Is it possible to add to the values for possible test results for Manual Tests Currently, there only seems to be 'Pass' or 'Fail', but I would be interested in adding another state for situations where test cases have not actually failed but have been blocked from execution by a previous failure or have exposed an issue which was not being explicitly tested. Can I do this Cheers. Clare Unfortunately we don't have plans to enable extensibility for manual test results for next version of VS, but we can consider that for v+2. Thank you, Michael ...Show All

• Visual C# signature based scanning

  is anyone knows about the above said topic. please help help us in this regard A "spyware signature" is a short string of bytes that is unique to a particular spyware app. It's nothing "official", and is determined by an anti-spyware author who analyizes the hex dump of the spyware app. Using the same procedure, a signature could be found for any executable, and a single executable could provide several different signatures depending on whos looking for them, and how they go about it. (Since Anti-virus/anti-spyware authors talk to each other and trade signatures, you should allways be a bit suspisous about the number of virsuses/spyware a utility detects --- odds are, they are looking for several of them twice ...Show All

• .NET Development Why the change to Managed code and why not provide an Unmanaged (Native) option for VB.Net?

  While I know any program can be broken with enough effort. It seems to me that Microsoft's change to the .Net format has just made life much easier for code breakers while making it harder for Individuals writing code to sell small programs to protect their code. I used Obfucation of code with code I have written since the early versions of basic. But now it takes nothing to decompile the code and then work on figuring it out. While programs compiled in Native code it took much more to decompile and break the code where small specialized programs usually were not worth the effort to break. Why doesn't Microsoft continue to provide native code compilation for VB.Net programs to allow small business / Self Programers the same level of code ...Show All

• Windows Forms Creating Cursor from Bitmap Causes Memory Leak and Eventual System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException

  I am attempting to create and show a cursor from a Bitmap when a drag occurs.  I create and show a new Cursor from a Bitmap in the GiveFeedback event of a dragable panel and everything seems to work fine.  The cursor dispays when I drag and disappears when I MouseUp.  The Bitmap itself is created from the background image of the panel I am trying to drag. Yet, when I look at the Performance tab of the Task Manager I can see my PF usage increase about 1 meg every 2 drags and it never releases the used memory.  Worse still after about 100+ drags I eventually get a System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException at the point where the cursor is created and set. I have created a sample project that shows a bare- ...Show All

• .NET Development String.Compare with Unicode characters

  I am trying to sort a list of Greek Unicode strings, but I can't get the .NET framework to correctly sort or compare the accented vowels. For example String.Compare(" "," ") // or String.Compare("\u1f00","\u1f30"); always returns 0 and String.Compare(" ","α") always returns -1 regardless of the Culture information (current, invariant, Greek) I use in the other arguments of the Compare function. Is there a way to make the first comparison return a negative number Comparing *any* character from the Greek Extended block \u1f00-\u1fff returns 0, regardless of culture or case-sensitivity.
