• Visual Studio Express Editions Locking down the toolbars??

  Hi everyone I'm enjoying the product so far, however I have one little quirk I'm trying to fix. Currently, whenever I click on a file in the Solution Explorer, I lose the "Text Editor" toolbar. Then when I click on a .h/.cpp file I want to edit, I get the toolbar back again (which re-adjusts the toolbars, forcing the editing pane to lower a bit) So what ends up happening is that the UI workspace is constantly growing and shrinking as I'm adding new files to the project then editing them. It's mega annoying and I want to find a way to *permanently* leave the Text Editor toolbar enabled. thanks! ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do I set an initial dock bar state?

  I have a MFC application that uses docking control bars. It looks great once you postion all the bars and use the SaveBarState() and LoadBarState() functions. However, when the app is first run on a PC (or if I manually delete the saved registry info), the bars come up docked in undesired positions. My question is thus; Is there a way to control the default control bar docking such that I can program in a reasonable default state that can then be overriden by loading the last saved state from the configuration using LoadBarState() What is the proper way to do this Thanks! You could look at the sour ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mscomm, Serial ports and bit manipulation

  I have just started to investigate the replacement of some seriously old kit with a Windows XP version. I need to read and write data between either a usb/serial port on a new Windows XP machine and connect it to an old controller via an rs-232 cable. Data is passed between the two in Ascii format and can be as little as one character at a time or up to several hundred characters at a time. I will need to be able to interpret some of the data down to the bit level on receipt. Having read some of the threads here, it would appear the use of MSCOMM is a viable solution for the serial port communication as the transmissions are in a set ...Show All
