• Visual C++ Getting Visual C++ 2005 to compile a simple program.

  Compiling in the Visual C++ 2005 environment.   I am interested in compiling and linking C++ programs in the Visual C++ 2005 environment.   I am not unfamiliar with the concepts, but have not used this type of working environment.   So I just want to compile an extremely simple program that would just print something on the screen; and so I followed the simple example found in: “ Microsoft Visual C++ for Beginners”, (by Ranga Narasimhan, Microsoft Corporation, November 30, 1999, which a pplies to: Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6.0) found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/en-us/dnarvc/html/vc4begin.asp fr ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView Prevent user from leaving row on error

  I would like to prevent the user from leaving a row if it contains an error.  Looks like the two places that errors popup are CellValidating and DataError. I can cancel the row change action in CellValidating but not completely in DataError.  If I get a DataError for a cell, I can cancel the event.  But the user can move to a cell on the same row and then to another row.  The cell display retains the offending input.  Peculiarly, if the user then goes back to the offending cell, the cell text pops back to the original value (only happens if he leaves and comes back to the cell).& ...Show All

• Visual C++ include guards gray out code

  It appears that there is a bug with how the VC8 IDE detects and grays out excluded code.  When using standard inclusion guards, like so: #ifndef HEADER_INCLUDED_ #define HEADER_INCLUDED_ // code here #endif ...all of the code between the inclusion guards turns gray.  Until this is fixed, is there a way to disable graying out excluded code   RITZ wrote: You could use #pragma once for now. #pragma once isn't portable. Also he could have a third-party library which uses these double inclusion guards. In manu scenarios #pragma once cannot be used. I cannot reproduce the problem eit ...Show All

• Visual C++ how to get a handle to a control

  Hi I started a new process from my application, and I want to enter some data in some of the controls in the new application. I was thinking to do that with the SendMessage function but how do I get the handle for a control in that window. Thank you for the help. FYI, there's only a handful of windows messages that you can simply pass a memory address to, WM_SETTEXT is one of those messages. WM_SETTEXT marshals the test from the one process to the other. Expect to run into some access violations with other messages. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS b3 refresh Client install question

  We are running TFS beta 3 and are considering installing the refresh so we can use it against the SQL Server RTM build.  Does anybody know if we need to install new client software.  We currently have the clients installed from the beta 3 package on top of the RTM of Visual Studio 2005. If there is nothing to gain from a new client install I think we'd rather leave them as they are if it's not going to be a problem. Any advice I had to double check myself ... The B3 Team Explorer should be able to talk with a Refresh server.  HOWEVER, the .NET versions are different so if you are doing one box you won't get this wor ...Show All
