• Visual C# Reinstall creates multiple entries in Add/Remove Programs

  Hi, I have an app that I have compiled several times to an installation program. In VS2005 I have DetectNewerInstalledVersion = true and RemovePreviousVersions = true. Each time I compile I increase the version slightly so I can run the setup without error, but when I do all these things, after installing different upgrades several times I see new entries into Add/Remove Programs. Is there something I can do in Visual Studio to correct this Mario, You are right, it is completely counterintuitive!! I have a VS2003 WinForms app for which I am providing constantly newer versions to the folks who are testing it for me. I want the installation to be simple: Just one the new MSI file and have it install over top of the old installation. To ...Show All

• Visual C++ Strange Compiler Error!!!!!!!!

  Hello, I have recently begun programming in DirectX. I am compiling a single file(.cpp), that requires nothing but a link to DirectX in Visual Studio 2005 Professional (Which I own). I have linked everything to the DirectX SDK files, but I receive the following errors. error C2065: 'index' : undeclared identifier error C2228: left of '.x' must have class/struct/union error C2228: left of '.y' must have class/struct/union These seem familiar with "C" style errors, but I'm using C++. I might have the compiler settings wrong, so that it could think that it was C, not C++, as .x, and .y is straight C++ so somethign is wrong here, there is nothing wrong with the code, as it is from a book and have given it to other ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Change properties from other forms

  Topic says it all ... lets say i got x2 form ..and in form1 i got ritchtextbox how i change its txt or any other properties from from2 or other forms ... e.x in vb i used to do Form1.TextBox.text = ("w/e you want") ok. So adjust this to your needs: Form1 has a RichTextBox control for example. in form1, we create this property: public string TheRichTextBoxText { get { return this.theRichTextBox.Text; } set { this.theRichTextBox.Text = value; } } this is a public property which any other class can access if they have a reference to this form/class. By default all controls generally, and variables, are private meaning no one from the "ou ...Show All

• Windows Forms Drag&Drop a pictureBox

  Hi there everyone, I am trying to drag a pictureBox. Here is the code for my pictureBox MouseDown event : void onMouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (((Kart)((PictureBox)sender).Tag).KartAc k) { if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) ((PictureBox)sender).DoDragDrop(sender, DragDropEffects.All); } } While I put the sender object (in this case my pictureBox) into the DragEventArgs' Data property, I expect to retrieve it again anywhere needed.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Questions on Excel.VBA -> Range.End()

  Hello guys, I am facing some bottleneck about moving a Range object in a sheet. I am using RangeObj.Offset(0, 1) to move my RangeObj to right, but it is not the same as actually using the keyboard arrows to move a cell. And I am using RangeObj.End(xlToRight) to move my RangeObj to End-Right. The thing is that RangeObj.End(xlToRight) will skip all the hidden columns. I wish to stop in a hidden column when applicable. Anyway, I am trying to understand how everything works. Which function is used when I press arrows on keyboard to move the current selection How do they implement the functions to skip hidden cells How do I implement function differently to select hidden cells instead of skipping them I can do the slow way ...Show All
