• Prasadi de Silva Remember and restore a ClistCtrl Horiz Scroll Position

  I'm trying to remember and restore a list control's horizontal scroll position in my dialog. The list control displays calibration data.

My users want to be able to watch a certain "area" of the list control while collecting cal data and not ...Show All

• Erno Vuori _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE has no effect

  MSDN clearly states that if you define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE it "will disable deprecation warnings". I tried adding _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to the Preprocessor Definitions and #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to the code. In both cases I still get a C4996 warning from every single strcpy call. The only way to disable the warning, as far as I can tell, is to use #pragma warning (disable:4996) or add the warning to the C/C++ settings (Ad ...Show All

• Dmitry Titov MSFT Intellisense updates very slowly, and blocks builds - what can I do?

  I'm working on a fairly large program, and the NCB file quickly rises to 90MB, especially after edit-and-continue. Intellisense keeps firing up and showing "Updating intellisense" in the status bar, for several minutes at a time - but much worse than that, it appears to be (read-)locking files that a build needs, so if I use edit-and-continue, then stop debugging, the build that fires off collides with Intellisense and fails, and ma ...Show All
