• Visual Studio Tools for Office Bug fix request

  Hi; There is one bug I hope gets fixed in Office 12. (Fixing it in a service pack for Office 9 - 11 would be really nice too.) Sometimes the menus I add to Word stop calling my event handlers. A very easy way to see this happen is open two instances of Word, close the first instance of Word, then close the document (but not Word itself) of the second instance. The menu objects will now fault if you access the enabled property and they will no lo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Determining if SuspendLayout has been called?

  I have a control that Overrides the OnResize method. I thought a call to SuspendLayout before setting the Size property would cause the control to avoid OnResize calls until ResumeLayout was called but it does not.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Does DirectX have the OpenGL equivalent of Display lists?

  As the subjects asks, is there an equivalent  feature in DirectX Basically I want to just render about 200 spheres most of which will be the exact same copy of each other.
