• Windows Forms new vs. gcnew, etc.

  Hi Folks- I just started learning about Windows Forms this week and I have a question. I am writing code in C++ and I am not familiar at all with managed code.

Same of course with "*" and "^" for pointers. My question is I'd rather use unmanaged code. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using sender as a case in Select Case Statement

  When my form loads it adds some handles (using AddHandler ) to a sub ( showStatus ).

For this I use an If...Then statement for each possibility. There are many possibilities and my code get cluttered. Is there a way to do the same thing with a Select...Case statement.

It appears that when I set a selected index value in the text-changed event of a combo, I seem to lose that value after the event has been processed. I thought at first it was the recursive call back into TextChanged, but the value is still there at the end of the procedure. I'd appreciate some feedback before I submit ...Show All
