• Visual Basic Hiding Designer Generated Code

  When I converted a project from VB 2003 to VB 2005, the "Windows Form Designer generated code" region is still visible in the IDE.  All files were showing up in Solution Explorer so I clicked the "Show All Files" icon to hide them.  This hides several files in the Solution Explorer but still does not hide the Designer Generated Code region in the code window.  Could it be an issue with upgrading a project from 2003   Is there any way to hide this region The auto generated code for new files goes into partial classes, but the old code does not get moved.  You can right click and c ...Show All

• Visual Basic Pass a TreeNode argument ByRef or ByVal?

  I used the following code to add a child treenode under a parent treenode, when passing the parent treenode by reference, after adding the child treenode, the selected treenode changed back to the parent node instead of the child node, after I changed the parementer from ReRef to ByVal, after adding the child node, the selected node stays at the added node, which is what I want. But I still do not understand why byRef does not work, as far as I know, for object type, passing byRef or byval should be the same Am I wrong  Public  Sub AddNode(ByVal oTreeParent As TreeNode)     Dim oParent = oTr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help please...

  This type of program has been done before but I am using the subject as my first actual progam that I am making. It is a temperature conversion program that converts Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin, and Newton by making a selection of what you want to convert. I finally got my program to work(figures number correctly) but I have one small problem, the program wants to run through every if statement before it finishes, no matter what the user wants to convert. I was guessing all I need is probably a few lines of code but I dont know, and I used a lot of functions(so I become experienced with using them) so if I don't need them just tell me. he ...Show All

  Hi, The version of Foxpro is 6.0.  The application I am buliding is to write data into Excel 2003.  There are times when I am getting a Fatal Error at a stage when I am writing the data into the cells.  Prior to this step I have other processes where I add more sheets and rename them, setup the borders and page setup and all works fine.

• Windows Forms XP Button on form (but not on caption)

  In Visual C++ on an WinForm which doesn't have a caption (and I don't want it to), How do you paint the XP Close button Thanks, You can try investigating the ControlPaint class in Windows.Forms that has a set of methods for drawing standard windows elements. There might be a method that draws the close button. Alternatively try looking at the ButtonRenderer class that draws theme specific buttons, maybe once of the options is to request a system close button style. I vaguely remember there is also a Win32 function for recovering standard system images such as the scroll bar parts and I would guess the system buttons. Try a google ...Show All
