• Visual C++ How to add print support in CformView

    Hi, I just create a MDI MFC application using CFormView as the base class for the application view.  It becomes a disaster when I want to print this form to printer.  According to the MSDN document: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/vcconcreatingforms-basedapplication.asp No printing support for a form-based application! I tried to add ON_COMMAND(ID_FILE_PRINT, OnFilePrint) to enable print function in File/Print , and override OnPrint() ; however, it gave me the error message like this: Debug Assertion Failed!

• Visual Studio File Explorer View

  I was wondering how difficult it would be to implement a "File Explorer" to go along with the "Solution Explorer" in DevStudio.  We do development on embedded systems that require all external build & debug tools, but we use VS as our standard IDE.  One that that would help many to convert to VS would be a simple explorer tree instead of always having to update projects. Any pointers (to examples or existing projects) would be very helpful.  I am not very experienced at Windows programming, so this will be an interesting learning adventure for me Got the project renamed, now I'm just having problems with the regist ...Show All

• Windows Forms ERROR: Exception when setting ComboBox.SelectedItem property

  I am having a problem with using the SelectedItem property on a ComboBox in Visual Basic.NET 2003 (.NET framework 1.1). Here is what happens: I first set a ComboBox.DataSource property to an arraylist of multiple objects. I then set the SelectedItem to one of the objects from the list. This works just fine. Then, a new set of data is imported, which causes the code to set the DataSource to "Nothing" and then set it again back to the same arraylist (which is now populated with a different set of objects). In general, this works fine, too. But for a certain set of objects, it causes an ArgumentOutofRangeException aft ...Show All

• Windows Forms Handling ComboBox Event with AutoCompleteMode set to Suggest and AutoCompleteSource set to AllSystemSources

  Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 (8.0.50215.44) I have a Windows application with a ComboBox control on the form. The ComboBox property AutoCompleteMode is set to Suggest and AutoCompleteSource is set to AllSystemSources . I would like to capture an event when something is selected from the suggested list. For instance, when a user types http://www.mi and the Suggest list brings up http://www.microsoft.com and user selects that from the list, I would like to handle the event. Which ComboBox event should I write the handler for Thanks. Darshan Singh Thank you so much, Joe! I thought I had tried that event but did no ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System No access to reports and documents over internet port 8080

  I've got some problems with my installation of TFS beta 3. I installed Windows Server with latest sp. Sql server september, sharepoint and tfs beta 3. The tfs is installed on this server to help us work in project over http and not intranet.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Aborting an Animation

  Is there a way to stop an animation object before it's duration causes it to stop without using storyboards Outside of Storyboards, you can control animations by using the ClockController object associated with Clocks created via Timeline.CreateClock(). This allows you controls such as Pause, Stop, or Remove. Thanks, Ed ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Request

  The Tier API is very useful in adjusting to GPU differences.  I would like to request that there be a similar method to get a categorization of CPU / System features. For example having blured shadows on elements that are in motion (dragged, resized, etc.) can barely be handled on my 2Ghz laptop even though it is Tier 2, but a desktop or even dual core laptop would have much less issue, and on a low power tablet it should not be attempted at all.  It should not be attempted on my laptop in battery saving mode either. Since the result of the Tier property is not a simple integer, I would like to request the other DWORD be used to ca ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Access from SQL Server Management Studio

  I am trying to develop a package using SSIS to get rid of Informatica. But I am not able to connect to the SSIS from the SQL Server Management Studio. The error message is 'Connect to SSIS Service on machine XXXXX failed: Access denied'. I am using Windows authentication and I am in the DTSADMIN role. I have 'dbo' privileges in all the databases in the Server where the SSIS Service is running (Yes, I checked and the SSIS Service is running). The SSIS is installed in the same Server as my SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition is running. I can see that the same issue is posted by many people and no answer is posted againt it. It will be ...Show All

• Visual C# foreach over an array, can I specify a predicate

  Can I do something like: foreach(string name (that starts with 'A') in people) { } maybe using regular expressions You can implement the IEnumerator interface, you return an enumerator that only iterates over the people that have a name starting with an 'A'. Read more about it here: Using IEnumerator and IEnumerable in the .NET Framework IEnumerable And IEnumerator interfaces But i think that is an lot of overhead. You can better just compare the iteration yourself: foreach ( Human human in people ) { if ( !human.FullName.StartsWith( "A" ) ) { // Name didn't start with an A so jus ...Show All
