• Visual Studio Express Editions The things I draw don't stay!

  Hi all, my application involves retreiving information of pixels to form an image. I created an access database with 3 field, PixelColumn, Pixel Row and Colour. I'd then draw rectangles as pixels and fill these pixels with the corresponding colour from the database.

• Windows Forms Using ListView SelectedIndexChanged Event to Show Forms

  I have a ListView called TrainingListView that has a collection of 12 items. Each item represents another form that I would like to show if the user clicks on it. My problem is that the items in the collection don't appear to have a click event, so I need to use the SelectedIndexChanged event as workaround to get the same functionality. I've been struggling for the last several days on the code to get the SelectedIndexChanged event to open t ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do you develop an interface for an existing C++ program?

  Hello Everyone, I have a large and complex program, which to be honest I dont fully understand, that I have to develop an interface for. I understand how the program works to an extent, but the level of C++ used in the program is way beyond me. It has to do with genetic programming, programs writing programs, so I dont think that im going to be learning how to do that anytime soon.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office xsd document not "protected" from paste

  Building a VSTO 2005 app in Word 2003 that uses document protection and XSD to allow user to enter things into placeholders but not elsewhere in the document. When a placeholder is highlighted, the user can start typing and that works really well. However, we noticed that the user can also paste; if the user pastes, the XML element/node is deleted and the schema becomes invalid and Undo is disabled (!). Yikes. Any thoughts on how to stop this fr ...Show All
