• Windows Forms TreeNode label

  Hello, If I have a label in the edit mode, and the user makes a text selection, is there a way to capture the selected text only. There is an attribute on the text box that does that. Thank you I'm not sure that my post really answered the question, but I hope it got you in the right direction. You might be able to change type of the lParam to string and pass it a string. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Efficient initialization of stringstream

  Does anyone know of a way can accomplish the following without memory copies   I am dealing with character arrays that can easily exceed 1MB. std::stringstream* GetStringStream( const char * input, size_t length ) {   return new std::stringstream( input ); } Note that a temporary string object converts const char* to std::string, and this is where the copy occurs.  Although my version doesn't use it, I do know the length of the character array. In general, I am writing a parser that maintains a stack of istream*.  So wrapping the character array with some kind of istream is a requirement. Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Multithreading in VBA for Excel

  How do you Multithread in VBA for Excel I know how to do it in Visual Basic Studio but I cant get it to work for Excel Is there a certain reference I need There is very limited information on the web about multithreading in Excel.  The web also says Excel Visual Basic 6.3 has multithreading capabilities.

  After finally getting the December CTP of Team Foundation Server installed and running, I am unable to add anything to source control under my newly created Team Project. I open the Source Control Explorer by double clicking its icon. I then right click my project's node and the only thing I get is a grayed out menu saying "No Commands Available".

Sounds like you're just getting started.  Try this: (1) Tools -> Options -> Source Control, make sur ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to make a trainer.

  Does anybody on this forum know how to make a video game trainer in c++ (using visual c++ express) I would like to know how to do this. I know it is not impossible. I have searched the internet and all the examples I could find are either extremely old or they are for asm (which I do not know). I am fluent in vb and vb.net, if that matters. If someone would be nice enough to explain the process to me, it would be great. Thank you. This is a bit tricky as when I was younger I used to fool around with UFO enemy unknown and increase my cash flow. This was done in Hex. What I suspect you have to do is find out where the locations of things ...Show All

• SQL Server Generating SQL scripts in VS2005

  Hi, I'm using Beta 2 and I've noticed a difference in behavior between VS2005 and VS2003 when generating SQL scripts from database objects in Server Explorer. In VS2003, scripting a table results in separate files (TAB, KEY etc) for the table, indexes and so on. With VS2005 I just get one file. Is it possible to switch the behavior back to generating mutiple files If not, why was the behavior changed Many thanks in advance!
