• Visual FoxPro Command Buttons in Grid

  FoxPro newbie, working on foxpro 7.0 and im trying to place a command button in a grid. I haven't been able to view the code that makes up the form, only event/property/method codes. There a trick where you use a wizard to build the grid and replace the text boxes it puts in with combo boxes or something else. What i did set the text boxes visible property to False and then I put in a command button that uses it's value. When I run the form the column with the command button doesn't show anything, when you click on the field you can see the button and click it. when you move to another field and click it disapears from the last field and appears on the currant one. i set bound property to False i don't know what else to do. any help is app ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is there a "standard place" to store writeable not plublic shared files to please UAC?

  Our program has two files must be writeable (a database file and a config file) which are shared by all dedicated users of the program on a single system. The automatic redirection to a single users directory path is not helpfull in that case. Before changing our program: Is there a standard place on Vista to store writeable not public shared files (We whant also to pass Vista Logo test...) Thanks in advance Well then that is GREAT news. Yes, I do get myself confused because I have needs for both and I had run into that confusion over the erratically-functioning ssfCOMMONDOCUMENTS with the Shell Objects. Anyone else reading this please keep in mind that there is no such documented constant as ssfCOMMONDOCUMENTS, so t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SpaceWars - can you work around Shader limitations?

  Two days ago I started working on the XNA framework. This is also the first time I've had any dealings with C# or DirectX. I got the first game tutorial working pretty easily, but I couldn't get the SpaceWars starter kit to run properly. Firstly, I had to set AllowMultiSampling to false (this is a known, and widely discussed problem), and also switch to keyboard mode. With this done, the game ran, but I could not see some of the graphics (ships, backdrop & bullets) in either retro or evolved mode. Score and explosions appeared ok. As far as I can tell, this is because the missing graphics are using CompiledEffect shader objects which are loaded from the FX files. My poor graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 440MX) doesn't support any shader ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Detect mouse click on a sprite

  Anybody know how to detect a mouse click on a sprite I would guess you'd start off reading something like mouse.x and mouse.y and then iterating through all the coordinates of the sprite to see if the point clicked is in the sprites non-transparent pixels (slow) or.. Is there a way to hit test the sprites region Since this is specifly a game dev kit, I would assume there would be a method in the sprite class part of the engine to handle this like I would in vb.net for a polygon region(InRegion), and not have to iterate through each non-transparent pixel. Is that in the sprite class for hit testing If not, why ...that's a standard thing for a game(hit testing/collision detection). Guess thats for a MS XNA developer to answer ...Show All

• Visual C# get key from hashtable

    How to get hashtable's key and index  if I know the value if (hashtable.ContainsValue("default"))   Thanks, Hi, if you want to go from a value to a key, I believe the only way you can do it is to loop through the Keys collection, accessing each value of the hashtable until you get the value you want, at which point you then know the associated key.

• Smart Device Development Problem with an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

  Hi, I got a very strange problem on WM5. My code works fine on PC2002, PC2003, .NET1.1 (WinXP) but it does not on WM5. The code works fine when I query a web-site that respondes with Keep-Alive tag and it doesn't work when a web-site respondes with Proxy-Connection : Close. The code is very simple - it accepts connections and for each connection creates two sockets, one is accepted socket and the other soket is to a proxy server. Then the code just passes queries-responses between browser on PDA and the proxy server. There are 2 threads per connection, one thread reads from browser and writes to my proxy server, another thread reads from the proxy and writes to the browser. I have removed all unnecessary code t ...Show All

• SQL Server Newbie: Am I really using Everywhere?

  I just went through Steve Lasker's slide show on Everywhere (which was very informative) and noticed that when he setup the connection to the Everywhere database it had a .sdf extension. However, when I look at my database using SQL Server Management Studio Express it shows me as having the standard .mdf and .ldf files and *no* sdf file. I thought for a moment that I might be using Express but when I look at the connection properties of my (or what I think is my Everywhere) database I see: Product Name: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine Product Version: 8.0.818 SP3 Instance Name: MICROSOFTBCM If I look at an Express database, I see connection properties of: Product Name: Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced S ...Show All
