• Windows Forms Using Keyboard and Mouse Hooks

  Hi all, I am using win-32 hooks to implement macro recording and playback functionality for our application. This is not general purpose utility to use across application but a feature within the application. I launch record/playback palette as dockable window during recording/playback sequence. I am using Sendkeys.Send during playback to simulate key strokes. Currently I am facing typical problem during playback with Pause functionality. When I click on pause button sometimes playback sequence does not work properly as some of the simulated keystrokes are not received by active window as focus may be shifted to record palette ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Max 260 characters in path + projectfolder-hierarchi + programname?

  I have just had a strange error saying that there is a limit to the total length of the source control path + project internal path + program name that may not exceed 260 characters. That is obvously too little if you want a minimum of structure in both your team foundation server structure and your projects and you want to stict to describing names for your files. How to I change this setting regards Jens Chr You can't. It's a hard limit in the DB schema. You can't use >260char paths in the Windows shell anyway, so it wouldn't be much help. (Yes, there's the \\ \ syntax, but that's not practical for daily use.) Are you ...Show All

• .NET Development Very slow debugging

  I have the 2.0 framework on one computer and haven't tested it anywhere else, but I'm experiencing very slow debugging. I have a Windows Form app with about 60 classes/forms. Sometimes after making a few character change in code it takes 30 seconds before I can continue in the editor. Opening a form with a lot of controls on it can take almost a minute. The hard-drive runs almost continuously during these "wait" times. The computer is a 3.2GH P4 with has 2GB RAM and 700GB (fast) disk. I know that the 2.0 editor does a lot more work than the 1.1 editor did, but the wasted time during coding is very PAINFUL - anyone else having these ...Show All
