• Visual Studio Express Editions Where is CWnd::CreateControl?

  Hi I'm evaluating MSVC 8 to see if it provides a viable upgrade path from MSVC 8. Thus I have tried to build my current suite of applications. However every application that uses Active-X controls gets a linker error for CWnd::CreateControl. The other MFC apps link without error and appear to run correctly. How do I get my Active-X using applications to link PS Excuse me if this is a duplicate. I posted the same question yesterday but I cannot find my post in the list cheers Your post was moved to the Express C++ Group as it does not releate to an install problem.

• Windows Forms VS2005 MaskedTextBox

  This is regarding a MaskedTextBox... I am setting a custom mask as 99999.99 , for a decimal number. The entry would be something like 66899.50. It possible that a user wants to enter only 356.50, so he has to move till the decimal by using space which is of course not acceptable. I want that as soon as user types a dot(for decimal) he should be allowed to enter digits after the decimal. Could you help me wth this as so to what combination of properties should be set. Thanks in advance, Manu. The control class is defined in the DecimalTextBox.cs file which you can find it under you installation director ...Show All

• .NET Development SQL SecurityException, but only when debugging remotely?

  Hi All, I'm having trouble remotely debugging a console application. The application will run on my server, but I am developing it on my desktop machine. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and C#. On both machines (server and desktop) I am logged in with my domain account that has administrator rights on both machines. When I run the executable on the server it connects to the SQL Server 2000 instance without problem and starts accessing data. However when I try to start the executable by remote debugging from my desktop machine I get to this line of code: unfetchedPhotosTableAdapter.Fill(photoDataSet.UnfetchedPhotos); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Strings in Help Workshop and Help.ShowPopup

  In VB .NET Visual Basic using Help.ShowPopup(parent, caption,location) I'd like to use Help Workshop to organize then above caption-strings together with the other Help items and topics. Is that possible And what are the steps to do hgs07 Unfortunately, this is not possible. HTML Help supports text popups similar to this that are able to be managed through Help Workshop (though not all that efficiently), but you'd need to call the popups differently accessing the HTML Help API directly with PInvoke, which is likely more painful than you want to do. Also, this would require compiling the strings that yo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Real Time audio recording

  Hi, I've made a program using w32 API to record audio using eVC++ 4.0. Actually I need audio frames to be processed in real time and those frames must be 30ms long so I calculated the size of the buffer (dwBufferSize in WAVEHDR structures) to be that long (ie., at 8Khz,16bits,1channel, buffer size should be 480 bytes). I also use double-buffering and pick the ready buffers when my callback function is called with the WIM_DONE message. First of all I tried the audio recording code in my PC (compiling it with VC++ 6.0) and it worked perfectly...I made a rough measure of the time between arriving frames (ie, between two WIM_DONE me ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is there any way to change to height of the columns in a Listview control?

  Hi everyone:        I'm tring to write a listview control inherit from  CListCtrl, and I want to put my own skin on it. But it seems that the height of the columns in a listview is not so easy to change. As CListCtrl did not provide a method like SetColumnWidth() to change the height of the columns. Is there any way to do it Any help will be greatly appreciated! Esprite2000 wrote: Hi everyone: I'm tring to write a listview control inherit from CListCtrl, and I want to put my own skin on it.

• Windows Forms Binding a DataGridViewColumn to a method as opposed to a property

  I have a class that calculates the performance and changes in a list of values, a time-series. I calculate things like week's move, year-to-date, inception-to-date, and then the pattern kicks in. I need columns signifying performance every 3 Months, 6 Months, 12 Months, 24 Months, 36 Months, etc. We wish to allow the user to dynamically add the columns as appropriate (as the series has 36, 48, 60 months worth of data). The classes i've created calculate these according to the number of weeks, and i can easily hard code the properties for the next 20 years, but that wouldn't be very good design. C# doesn't support properties ...Show All

• Visual Basic Validating & Formatting

  I am using the following code to format the values of a text box in the Validation event txtBoxSellPrice.Text = Format((txtBoxSellPrice.Text / 10), "00.00") Unfortunately it is having an unwanted side effect in that if I click out of the field then back in then back out it recalculates the /10 bit again, I would like to prevent this so that the calculation is only performed once but how the heck do I do this .

We can send a link to the users from a report nested in an ASP.NET page, but those reports use parameter prompting. We'd like to pass the parameter in the querystring.

• Windows Forms Share one form across several application

  Hello, I wonder is there a good solution to share one startform across all the applications without including this form every time in the app. it's kinda like a dll method where we only need to reference to it. and also a change in the form will reflect across all the applications. (moved to winforms forum) A form is just a class, I'd expect you could put it in a dll and call it from there. ...Show All
