• Visual Basic Embed TrueType font in VB 2005

  Hello, I have created a TrueType font that I would like to use in a project but I don't want the font installed on the end users machine. Is it possible to embed a font as a resource, or otherwise, in a VB 2005 project How do I protect a font form general use/distribution Thank you in advance, ED Hello, Thank you for the quick response! I have loaded the code and modified it with my font name. I set the 'Build Action' to 'Embedded Resource' as required. When I run, the 'fontStream' variable is always 'Nothing'. Do I have the required 'Imports' wrong Here is the code as I have it: Imports System.Drawing.Text Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Imports System.IO ...Show All

• SQL Server UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY confusion.

  I wrote this stored procedure and it works fine, it seems. The questions I have are as follows: (1) What is the difference between PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE. They seem to pertain to the same behavior. When I used only UNIQUE as qualifier I did not see that the column was marked as primary in the SQL Management Studio. What I need is for a column to be unique in the sense that it would not allow duplicate values and it must have an INDEX on it. I need it to be descending . (2) Did I do it right or there are aspects in here I do not quite see set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateTableDailyClose] @symbol varchar (10) = null AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(500) SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE dbo. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Format as zero if a Textbox is empty

  Hi Everyone, As a beginner I’m not writing a programme as such, just learning how to do various things – currently learning how to enter data into textboxes. I have 3 textboxes formatted to allow numeric data only and a button that when clicked will display the answer in a message box. Question: How do I write the code that says “if no data is entered then the textbox is to be considered a zero” .What I mean is, I press Tab to go to the next box, leaving the box empty, but instead of writing code to enter a zero I just want the empty box to be considered a zero (this is for adding numbers). At present, I have the button click event to assign a value of “0” to box 1 if it’s empty. (I’ve written code for box 2 differently than 1 and 3 for pr ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums how are the WSDLs actually versioned? One day notice for an incompatible upgrade?

  We just got a notice that the production API is being upgraded to change some names of things such as BudgetAmt to BudgetAmount (but the new help file says MonthlyBudgetAmount !). The email says this is happening "Friday October 20, 2007". I assume this is a typo and it means 2006, which is tomorrow. The email says it is modifying the existing v3 WSDL. This is contrary to the "Microsoft adCenter API Versioning" section in the help file which says the WSDL is assigned a new version number when incompatible changes are made, to allow for a sane upgrade path. The email says it is not being done in the sandbox until later. The versioning section in the help file says upgrades will be done first in the sandbox. What is the a ...Show All

• Visual C++ Passing Unmanaged Class by reference to Managed Class Constructor

  I have a MainForm. It has two child forms. The program reads in large SEGY files (2gb -> 100gb), appropiate data and read settings are stored through the class system that has a main controller "SEGY.H" & "SEGY.CPP". They a coded in pure C++. My two child forms are managed. I want to pass a reference for SEGY from the MainForm to each child form when they are required to be shown to the user, obviously to avoid copying large amounts of memory.   I cannot pass a native class by reference to a managed class through the managed classes constructor.  I have tried (code in mainform): private: SEGY *Segy;        //it then gets constructor call when filename is chose CHILDFO ...Show All

• Windows Forms Best way to handle shortcuts ?

  Hi, I was wondering if there is a good OO-way to handle keyboard shortcuts. Atm my shortcut handling code consists of a big list of if else if else statements containing switch statements (if/else to detect the modifiers, the switch statement to handle the keys) As you might have guessed, this is ugly and not very clean. I tried using a Dictionary of Keys to Action (a simple void delegate) mapping. but the problem here is that the keys pressed never match those in the dictionary because extra modifiers and flags are present. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions how to make a decent key to action mapping. Thanks, Ben. the shortcutmenu is generated the moment it is requested. ...Show All
