• Visual Studio Express Editions Code Editor: Text Input Lag

  Hello! I'm experiencing a terrible problem that renders Visual C++ 2005 Express (Final Version) almost completely unusable. I'm having the same problem on multiple completely independent computers and it happens quite frequently, so i can't believe it's a random problem that never occured to anyone except me. It happens when I switch back and forth between code files in a regular C++ project. Sometimes, after switching to a file that was already open, i can no longer type or select code in a regular fashion. When I type some code, it appears in the editor window after a significant delay (usually a couple of se ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista using regsvr32 in Vista 5231 to install COM component fails to write to registry

  I am trying to register a com object (dll) with regserv32 in Vista 5231. My Dll is being loaded and my DLLRegisterServer method is invoked which uses RegCreateKeyEx and RegSetValueEx to write to the registry (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\XXX\XXX). I am writing everything out to a file just to make sure everything is going ok. all the RegCreateKeyEx calls and RegSetValueEx calls are returning success, but when I look in the registry my newly created keys aren't there. Are there any known issues with using RegCreateKeyEx or RegSetValueEx to modify the registry with Vista 5231 I resolved my issue. there seems to b ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do you convert the 'Sender' param in Event Handlers?

  I'm in the process of learning to create controls at runtime and adding my own event handlers. Consider this declaration of an event handler..... Private Sub Hello_Click(ByVal sender as System.Object, _ ByVal e as System.EventArgs) End sub The author says you can convert the sender parameter into a button object and use the button's properties to determine which button was pressed. Unfortunately, he doesn't show you how - even though it seems like it would be something important to know, as a beginner. I was hoping someone could enlighten me on how this is done. I've done a little searching using the help system, but ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How can I control a WinForm from a workflow?

  I am developing an application whose behaviour is to be governed by a workflow. The windows form application acts as the host to the workflow and I need to update various controls on the UI based on the workflow's functioning. The problem I have is that while its possible to send events to the workflow using a service, I do not know how to call methods/send events to the host application from the workflow. Is there a nice way of doing this Is it an acceptable design if a windows application is "run" by a workflow Eg 1 : I have a rule condition. But I cannot embed that in the workflow class itself. It has to be evaluated in a ...Show All

The same RT works great on other computers, both Laptop and Desktop images.
