• Windows Forms Window form display

  Hi ! I have developed a window form in vc++ in .net.  However, after compilation on my notebook, the combo box does not show on the deployed pc.  The OS is winxp professional with sp2.  Vice versa, when the code was compiled on another pc and run on my notebook, the combo box shows as a horizontal line rather than a combo box.  Have ajusted the display resolution and font size on my notebook.  This is a compaq nw6000 notebook.  Any advice on this is appreciated ... Chin Tian I've never heard of or seen anything like this.  If you are still stuck on this issue and you cannot reproduce this on any other ...Show All

• Visual C++ unable to edit command line for a project

  Trying to compile and execute a C++ project in VS2005 I ran into a linker problem. After some investigation it turned out that the calling convention was not what it was supposed to be for the functions used in the program. I changed the option for the calling convention from /Gd to /Gz. I needed __stdcall to be made. After that I got this error message: Error 1 Command line error D8016 : '/clr:pure' and '/Gz' command-line options are incompatible The command line now looks like this: /Od /I "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include" /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_MBCS" /FD /EHa /MDd /Yu"stdafx.h" /Fp"Debug\Sock ...Show All

• Smart Device Development wldap32 on Windows CE 4.2

  I tried posting on one of the other forums to try and find information on this but didn't get any response. Could anyone please let me know where I can find wldap32.lib for Windows CE 4.2. When I installed the Pocket PC SDK 2003, as well as the Standard Sdk, there is documentation about the winldap api for Arm4. However wldap32.lib which holds the implementation for this is not present in the wce420/lib directory in these SDKs. It looks to be present for wce500 or Windows CE 5.0, but that's of no use to me. Please let me know if I can find this library somewhere or its not available at all for Windows CE 4.2 and Microsoft documentation is i ...Show All

• Visual C# MouseMove event not happening after closing a ContextMenuStrip

  Hello Group, I have a simple form where I have a MenuContextStrip and I also look for mouseMove events. The problem is simple to reproduce as it occurs everytime I open the context menu by clicking the right mouse button. If I close the context menu by clicking on the application window (appclick return code) then I no longer receive mouseMove events until the window is obscured and restored. The problem does not happen if I click on one of the contextMenuItems. Anybody have a solution to this Is there a loss of focus. I have tried playing around with focus and things like that but to no avail. Thanks, barant ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3DXLoadMeshHierarchyFromX reporting : "D3DX: D3DXCreateAnimationSet: Interpolators cannot have a NULL name"

  Hey All, I am trying to flesh out a stable .x skeletal animation / mesh export pipeline for the Blender modeller. D3DXLoadMeshHierarchyFromX is printing "D3DX: D3DXCreateAnimationSet:  Interpolators cannot have a NULL name" to the console when trying to load some of my more complicated skeletal animations in DX9, and subsequently failing. Anyone know what this error means If i remove some of the AnimationKey chunks with certain bone names, the error doesn't trigger. It kindof appears that the order that I am presenting the AnimationSets, or the order that I am building my bone hierarchy might be causing the problem because of some depe ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource.Find throws exception on empty DataSet

  I have a problem with a bindindingSource very similar to the problem reported here but I've tried the solution outlined (explicitly setting the bindingSource's DataSource before the call to Find) but it doesn't help me (the DataSources for my BindingSources are correct) - so there's no chance for the DataSources to get set incorrectly. My situation is slightly different because I'm adding the BindingSources from the toolbox (not by dragging tables onto the form from the dataset). My dataset has two tables "state" and "county". They are related one-to-many by relation "FK_county_state" from state to county.  'county_id' b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I compile a VB.net application to a normal *.exe file? I mean that could be run in DOS mode.

  Well you see. It is really stupid to make a cool program that can't run on other computers that don't have the .net framework installed. I ve been searching for such a program that can compile my .exe (for .net) program into a normal .exe . I couldn't find anything like it so any help. If you are kinda new and you don't know why is this just rename your program into a *.txt file and open it. It says: This program cannot be run in DOS mode. That is the stupid thing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks anyway There really is no such thing as a "normal" .exe file. Every application has dependenc ...Show All

• SQL Server How to not import a text file twice

  Something I find myself wanting to do frequently is the traditional foreach loop looping through a directory of files and importing (which works great in SSIS) - Only I don't want to import data I have already imported. In a previous job I used Perl for thing like this and the structure would be as follows: For Each File: 1. Get filename and timestamp 2. Query db table with list of already imported filenames and timestamp. If Filename not in the table or is in table with older date return 1 to import or if file already imported return 0 3. Based on the result of step 2 either import or skip to next file. Any recommendations ...Show All
