• Software Development for Windows Vista DNS Suffix not working

  I'm having problems with Vista's DNS Suffixing: - My entire network has the dns suffix : work.intranet and I have a BIND dns server that resolves a.work.intranet and *.a.work.intranet to 192.168.0.2 so that if I ping bbb.a.work.intranet or ccc.a.work.intranet they all resolve to 192.168.0.2 (at least up until Vista) - If I ping a.work.intranet it correctly resolves to 192.168.0.2; - If I ping a it correctly resolves to 192.168.0.2; - If I ping bbb.a.work.intranet it correctly resolves to 192.168.0.2; - BUT IF I ping bbb.a it no longer resolves. (could not find host) - If I do a nslookup bbb.a it correcly resolves to 192.168.0.2 So what appears to be happening is that it isn't adding the dns suffix when the domain has more than two parts (x ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Modifying Public Variables

  I've been searching for this all evening, and can't find it. I have an application (project) with several forms. I use one form to gather inputs from the user, and am trying to place them into another form. (My central "repository" for the public forms) I then reference those public variables using my report form. Here's the problem. When the first form (the inventory gathering form) obtains the data, it does not write to the public variables located in the second form. I have it set up so that the repository has a public class, and the variables are all declared as public. (public XYZ as integer for example) In the other forms, I declare the variables local (dim) with the local name and set them equal to the publi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Accelerator letter in menu

  Hello, I am developing an app using VC++ 2005 and MFC. The app menu contains some accelerator keys that are visible only when we press ALT (its default characteristic). Is there any way I can make them visible all the time This behavior depends on system settings: Display Properties - Appearance - Effects - Hide underline letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key.
