• xFors Reading a value in two different headers...

  Okay, new problem... I'm assuming I'd need the heap for this, but I can't figure out how to return the values or memory space I need... I've got two headers, gotoform.h and ScriptEdit.h... (both are forms of course).. gotoform asks for a linenumber to goto, it stores this (masked text box entry) as a System::String... i need to somehow return this to ScriptEdit and store it in a variable there... so in gotoform.h we have: private : S ...Show All

• Sajitha Jose Is partial redistribution of VS 2005 DLLs allowed?

  We're looking at migrating our applications from Visual C++ 6 to Visual Studio 2005.  We link in the MFC and the C-runtime DLLs.  Since users download our application over the Internet, we need to minimize the download size as much as possible.  We would need to redistribute the VS 2005 DLLs as applocal. Does the license agreement for redistribution require that the entire contents of the Microsoft.VC80.CRT and Microsoft.VC80.MFC ...Show All

• Rob Loach Moving child windows completely outside an MDI

  Does anyone know how to move a child window outside the bounds of the main MDI client window. Currently the default behaviour for an app wizard generated MDI application stops the cursor from moving past the edge of the MDI client window when dragging a child window. I would like the cursor to be able to continue to move past the edge of the MDI when a child is being dragged. Thanks for any help, Cheers Ro ...Show All

• Ludo from Belgacom stringstream loses memory

  Hello, I believe the code below shall run forever but it shall not consume more and more memory as Windows task manager shows.

• Stefan Popov Suggestion/Functionality - Office Workbook/Worksheet to have similar operations as other components.

  Geoff Darst of the VSTO team suggested that I post this suggestion here: When clearing is required on other controls such as textboxes, one can simply call clear to clear the whole box. There is a similiarity found on other controls or even class components where the ability to clear the whole item is acheivable without defining specifics of what to clear . That similiarity ends with the classes that handle the operations found with dealing with ...Show All
