The other forms inherits the base form. I can see the controls on my inherited form but can't click on any button on toolbar or menu and neither I can write code for events for the controls on base form. It used to work on Beta1; now the inherited form shows the small lock on the controls of base form. I can write code for the events of toolbar/menu and code compiles but I can't double-click on the control to write code. I also tried with modifier as public but s ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Resizing D3D Window?

  Hello I have a simple D3D app running in windowed mode. It simply renders a textured cube. However when I resize the window I have to reset the viewport, I think based on my experience in OGL. The default behaviour is not working properly, as it blurs the rendered cube and makes its edges very gaggy. Resetting the viewport upon resize does not solve the problem though. I have something like this: WM_SEIZE: // viewport width = cx // viewport height = cy // .... d3ddev->SetViewport(...); Is not it the same way OGL viewp[ort setting work What else should I do Some advised to Reset the device, but after doing so ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagrid / databind / crash

  I have now spent the whole day on this problem and still I have no solution - going more than a small bit crazy now.  I need to know if there is a solution and if yes what the hell is it. I have a custom collection (inherits CollectionBase and implements IBindingList).  In some UI I bind this collection to a normal DataGrid control.  From another location (through realtime notifications to the collection NOT the UI) I update the contents of the collection. All works perfectly.  From a single dataGrid1.SetDataBinding(myCollection, "") I get a realtime updated UI. NOW, in some circumstances I want not just to update items i ...Show All

• Visual J# 64 bit integer support

  Lets say you have a function which accepts a 64 bit unsigned int. In my case this function was written in C++/CLI as a part of a managed wrapper. I am having problems though. It seems the compiler does not do implicit casting for 64 bit values. Here are some examples (in all cases the input is a System.Int64 value): f1(1 ); // This does not work because it think's 1 is an int and therefore thinks I'm trying to reference a wrong function. f1((UInt64) 1); // This works fine f1( ( UInt64 ) 0x1122334455667788); // This does not work. The problem with the last case is that it says it's a wrong value for int litterals. While the first case is a ...Show All
