• Visual C++ Debugger's Bug?

  I encountered a weird thing about debugging in Visual Studio 2005 Professional. You could try it in your VS. May be it is a bug. 1. Make sure the "Debug" toolbar is dragged out. All the operation is on it. 2. Set a breakpoint. 3. Start Debugging from the Debug toolbar, wait until reach the breakpoint. 4. Stop Debugging and immediately Start Debugging. After you stopped debugging, it will take about 1 second that the "Stop Debugging" becomes unavailable. Just IMMEDIATELY Start Debugging when it is still available. 5. Now you would notice: 1) Program stopped at breakpoint; 2) Continue Debugging is unavailable (which should be available) ...Show All

• Visual C# How do i make textbox unselectable ?

  I have readonly textboxes on my form ... how do i make them unselectable ... so that editing cursor does not apear in those textboxes when i click on them As Cablehead said you should set Enabled and/or ReadOnly to false.  A TextBox is the best way to go when you want the user to be able to select the text but not edit it.  Labels can't be selected at all that is why most modern error dialog use text boxes.  I think even MessageBox now uses a text box.  The difference between the 2 properties is important.  Enabled prevents selection and interaction completely.  ReadOnly permits selection but prevents inter ...Show All

  You know in outlook or outlook express when a user starts typing an email address, the field populates an address or text that was previously typed there before.  How exactly is that done Is Outlook just reading that out of a hidden text file I would like to enable some sort of type ahead on a text field like they do it in Outlook.

• SQL Server SSSB Error Message

  What could be causing the following: This message could not be delivered because its message timestamp timestamp has expired or is invalid. Keep in mind the synchronization doesn't have to be exact - with 20 minutes or so is adequate.  The most common cause of this is that someone has the timezone set wrong so GMT is not correct.  It's also theoretically possible for a very slow network or message forwarding to deliver a message late enough so its lifetime has expired. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions No Export Template option in C++ version?

  I have noticed that there is no File->Export Template option in VC++ Express, but C#, J#, and VB Express do have the option.  I discovered this while trying to make a project template for DirectX projects.  Secondly,  When I installed the DX9 SDK there was no DirectX project available  when choosing create project.  This lead me to making the template in the first place. -Eric Thanks for the information Robert.  I learned DirectX without MFC or ATL.  So I am not so concerned with MFC or ATL.  I am under the impression that when you install the DirectX SDK, that yo ...Show All

• SQL Server Interactive charts, etc.

  Hi everyone, Two questions about charts in reports. 1) They seem pretty static. I have a report with vertical column chart, and I would like to enable hyperlinks through chart columns, so, say, a height of column shows a number of experiments done by a person. I want a user to be able to click on the column or something that would be associated with that column and go either to another report or external URL that would show info about those experiments (similarly as it is done for any field in a regular report). Is it possible to do something like that (Help files unfortunately were of no use  ) 2) Is there any way to sho ...Show All
