• Visual Basic Transfer Array from VB.net to C++ and Back

  I am having a bit of a frustrating problem. I am trying to pass an array of unsigned short to a c++ .dll which the dll will populate and return.

• Visual C++ Controlling Mouse Movements

  Hello everyone, I'm developing an interface where the mouse pointer is controlled by a user's eye-gaze.

• Visual Studio Team System How the web test plugin works

  Hi, I have two web tests and both of them use the same web test plug in which gets the recordnumbers from local database table. I am using a select statement in the webtest plugin for data binding. Both the web tests use the same plugin. I get the recordnumbers from the select statement in the plugin. For example, the select statement returns record numbers A, B, C and D. So when do loadtest with both the web tests, i think each of the web tests work on A, B, C and D. Is that true If so, how can I make the web tests work on mutually exclusive data. i.e I want webtest1 to work on A and B and webtest 2 to work on C and D. How to achieve this Are there any resources on how the web test plugin work Thanks., ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++ Win32 API - Simple Label Creation

  Hi, i am new here, and i am trying to learn to program in the win32 api in c++. I have built a basic program, but was trying to familiarise myself with some common aspects. I was hoping someone could show me the code to create a basic label (static control). I hope this makes sense to you. I don't want it to do anything, this is a bit that i have already: //input box create hEdit = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "EDIT", "", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL, 20, 50, 200, 30, hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_INPU, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL); //--- So i basically want something like that, but just a label with a transparent background.

• Visual C++ compiling the "selected" project in dev studio 2005 - behavior change

  Hi, We are currently in the process of moving from VC6 to VC8. We have several projects with houndreds of cpp and h files. One of the biggest complaints we get from the developers is the issue of "build selection" button and F7: Our solution is built from several projects, most are static libraries for the main project (the main project having dependencies to these lib projects). When working on the code, developers generally changes a few cpp's without needing to know which one is related to which lib project and in the end they would always compile the main project by pressing F7 or pressing the build - these would automatically build the 'active' project which was always the main project. all relevant libs related cpp's that had changed ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating a simple 2D surface for bitmap display and vector points lines etc... Good example to start?

  Hi there. I'm new to the forum but no to to forums so hopefully I know the ropes. I have been looking at converting our current GDI+ graphics window (a basic picture box with points and lines along with zoom in and out capability) to Direct X. I saw some great examples with Direct Draw but that is deprecated and one of the reasons we are moving to DirectX is to support vista since GDI+ is much slower with Vista. The bottom line, I need a very simple example to base some code on and I can't seem to find one. Any advice on a good starting point for a training session would be helpful. Thanks! core, If you install the latest DirectX SDK, you get the DirectX Samples (and samples browser) to help you with ...Show All

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Philip You'll probably have better success asking on a Winforms forum. Glass ...Show All
