• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hyperlink within a TextBlock?

  Hi again folks, It used to be you would use RepositionWithContent() -- that method went away with the PDC CTP. So, I'm feeling mighty dumb here (although the sparse documentation on this might be contributing to that feeling...) -- how on earth can I shove a hyperlink within a TextBlock now (and is that even the right way to approach it anymore ) Thanks in advance, John Here is another possible approach:   TextPointer p1 = vltb.ContentEnd;   p1.InsertTextElement(vlhl); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions CDate function returns 'IndexOutOfRange' error - also in VB.Net 2005 Beta2

  Hi folks, I have already reported this error in the VS 2005 Beta2 forum, but was told that it was not reproducible (VbCity and VBug, and your UK Launch team were also unable to reproduce the problem). I think I now have a lead on the issue! It also looks similar to a problem reported yesterday on the VB Express forum - 'I keep getting the out of range exception'. I have condensed the problem to two lines of code:       Dim myDate as DateTime       myDate = CDate("01/01/2005") The above error is reported on execution of the second line. This has now occurred on 6 different ...Show All

• Visual C++ mousedown question

  I'm trying to find out when the last time the mouse was clicked.  I find plenty of info on where , but nothing on when .  Any help would be appreciated. There is no such information about this. Add a handler for the mous click and use GetTickCount() to save the time when the function was entered. There is also a function GetMessageTime that gives you the exact tick count from the point were the message of the click was created. You know that due to the message queue processing there might be a difference in time when the message is created and when the message arrives in you handler. http://msdn.mi ...Show All
