• Visual Basic DrawRectangle method creates oversize rectangle

  Why does the DrawRectangle method generate rectangles that are 1 pixel too big I'm unsure if this is a bug (which it certainly looks like) but if you draw a rectangle and use the FillRectangle method, it fills correctly, but when you draw it using the DrawRectangle method, it's one pixel out. I know the obvious solution is to reduce the size of the rectangle by 1, but it's most annoying, especially if you use the Rectangle.Inflate method to draw a border around a filled rectangle in a minimal code approach, it doesn't draw correctly. For Example: Private Sub Form1_Paint( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows ...Show All

• SQL Server Formatting Date/Time

  What do I have to use to Format my date/time fiels so that they will not include the both the date and the time I imported the db's and reports from access and anything date/time shows both. The VBA functions I know are powerless to fix this. So: Format(fields!DateField, 'hh:mm') Format(fields!DateField, 'ddmmyyy') What are the equivalents Yes, I read the manual. Still not obvious to me. - Thanks in advance. Format is the VB.NET Format function (see e.g. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/59bz1f0h(vs.80).aspx ). The following expression should work for you (note: you have to use double quotes not single quotes for the format s ...Show All

• Visual C++ #pragma unmanaged and _MANAGED macro

  We would like to use _MANAGED to determine if the code is compiled as native or managed code. Unfortunately, _MANAGED is always defined when /clr switch is used. #pragma unmanaged does not undef the macro. Is there any way to tell for sure that the code is being compiled as native or managed Thanks, Sean 1) If you compile /CLR --> _MANAGED & _M_CEE will be defined. 2) If you compile /CLR:pure --> _MANAGED & _M_CEE & _M_CEE_PURE  will be defined. 3) If you compile /CLR:safe --> _MANAGED & _M_CEE & _M_CEE_PURE & _M_CEE_SAFE  will be defined.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How do I avoid multiple instances of Excel

  Hi We're running Office Professional 2003. I've written a quotation system in VBA with an Excel user interface. Each quotation is a separate workbook. The pricing information is also in other workbooks. The application creates its own commandbar that enables users to easily transfer data from the pricing workbooks to the quotation workbooks. All this works fine as long as all the workbooks are under one instance of Excel. However, the quotation system may either be initiated from a workbook or a word document. If the quotation system is already running and a user tries to start it again from Excel then I'm able to detect this, but i ...Show All
