• mehdi Jafari Scroll limitation issue

  hi, I have recently taken over the a project for someone, one of the issues we have come across is that you cant view an entire document, in a window with scroll bars if its really big.  I track this problem down to the ranges on the scroll bars.  Once the range of the scroll bar exceeds 32000 pixels, it is set, by my ex-colleague back to 32000.  So when you view a document, depending on the zoom factor you may only see a fractio ...Show All

• Moonracer Which is faster?

  I am currently using vb.net and am wondering if c++ can produce faster programs. The majority of my programs are small with about 50 - 60 controls (including tabcontrols, labels, trackbars, comboboxes, a menustrip and a status strip.) The programs run pretty good as a BASIC program but can lag uneccesarily. i.e. when changing tabs, and both tags have nothing but labels and linklabels on them. It shouldn't lag there. If c++ can produce these p ...Show All
