• Visual C++ Unmanaged C++ and VS2005: Hidden .NET Requirements?

  Hi everyone. While developing some unmanaged C++ DLL that uses COM and ATL, I've been having issues with deploying the DLL to other machines - those without .NET Framework v2. I've found out after some digging that changing the runtime library from its default to one of the debug libraries (and none of the DLL ones) removed this dependency, but introduced some crashes that im not entirely sure are related to my own application's logic. What is the proper way of creating unmanaged c++ DLLs in VC++2005, Who use ATL and COM Thanks in advance. You make many valid points. I tend to agree, however, I'm trying to live by the other approach (dynamic) for a while to see how it works out. Who knows, I may switch ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom Disambiguate Window

  Id like to implement my own Disambiguate-Window, because the default one Virtual Earth displays does not fit into my page concerning size, colors and lack of multilanguage-support. Unfortunately the V3 SDK documentation lacks a lot of information, my recent tries to implement my own stuff didnt succeed. Hopefully somebody can help me here. yours JeffK This is one of the major differentiators between the free VE map control and the not-free MWS service. With MWS, you get "where" results returned in a nice array that you can play with. With VE, we do the geocoding and just return the result; if there is ambiguity, we provide a default disambiguator to handle it. (Of course, there are lots of other advantages to usin ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP 9.0 SP2

  Does anybody know what was fixed in VFP 9.0 SP2 CTP I can't seem to find and read-me notes on the subject. No. As of this writing, MS has not included (or forgot to include) a readme in the download. They mentioned "some changes to the core product" but no details given.

• Visual Basic PrintPreview awkward to use?

  It might be just me, but doesn't PrintPreview work rather backwards I'm used to constructing a report from the top down: Whenever the line count goes over say 60, I do a formfeed which prints the page, set the line count back to 0, and carry on like that. That seems very natural. But with PrintPreview, I must have a single routine for handling the printing of any page. What if I don't know what will be on page 6 until I've printed pages 1 to 5, which happens often What might be on page 6 with one report run might be a different page with another run, depending on the content. What if pages may have various different formats I can't do a 'switch' on the page number because I may not know on which physical page some parts of ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Passing multiple variables from forms w/ VFP7SP1

  I'm an old Clipper (S' 87) programmer that needs to figure out forms with VFP. The attached code generates a form containing a set of four optiongroups that set basic comm port parameters on the local host for serial communication with an instrument (usually an electronic balance). I'm trying to use the form to replace a series of cascading menus in the original program. My intent is for the form to recognize the 5 existing parameters in the main prg, permit user input and then pass any changes back to the calling procedure or function using a array embedded in the form when the user clicks [OK]. Clicking [Cancel] should leave the parameters unchanged. Can somebody please suggest a technique for passing multiple variables back and forth be ...Show All

• Visual C++ Windows related Question (Concerning VC++)

  Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me with the following problem that is occuring. The thing is that every now and again a computer of mine, gives a message that the computer has run out of resources. So the thing is, is there any way I can handle such an event in VC++. When I try to connect to that PC throught PC Anywhere, I can't because of this message. Can anyone help Thank you in advance Hi, I guess the message should also go into the system event log as "Application Popup". You might try to write a service monitoring for the occurence of this event. I think the message of the message box is included in the event log entry data. Have a look at the API NotifyC ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multiple render resolutions for variuos renders

  I was unable to find a short simple description of my problem, sa the subject line might seem a bit cryptic. I am building a robotsimulator, where people can write the control code for the robot, and my program handles the universe in which the robots work. Among other devices the robots will be equiped with cameras, so the user code can do image analysis and based on that change the controls for the drive system. I want to render the entire scene with a free camera and I want to render the scene as seen from the robots cameras. This can be done easily enough, but the problem is the resolution. If i need the scene to be rendered in one resolution and the robot camera to have another resolution, then I have a problem. The device is be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Ability to incorporate relational data within TFS fields?

  I would like to add role information to a customised work item. When a user is chosen from a dropdown, I would like the role dropdown to default to the chosen user's role. Currently both users and roles are defined in Global Lists, but I wondered if there was anyway that I could move to a relational model. Can this be done Can you explain more on what you mean by moving into a relational model Do you mean moving role data to a database and doing some databinding The built-in controls read only from work item tracking xml and global list. If you must read from relational db yourself, you could create custom controls with SP1, but that control would have be deployed in users' boxes. ...Show All
