• Visual C++ Tab is not working with my VC++ Dialog !

  Dear All, In my VC++ Dialog, Tab is not working when ever i call that dialog from the Menu. However Tab works absolutely fine whenever I call same Dialog from another Dialog. I have tested it, Tab on My Dialog (say Dialog-A) works fine when ever i called it from another Dialog (say Dialog-B). But when ever the Dialog is called directly from the Menu, Tab doesn't work.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Add image to scroll bar

  Hi is it possible to add any image or text to scroll bar Thanx-Nagu Sure, you just need to edit its template. Scrollbars are pretty complicated beasts though, so we'd need to know exactly where you want to add it. In the up/down buttons The scroll region The thumb Let us know and someone might be able to whip together a little sample for you. If you have Expression Interactive Designer installed, add a ScrollBar control to your design surface, right click it, choose Edit Template and then Edit Copy of the Template. That will start you off with the default elements of the scroll bar and you can go i ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Calling managed code from native code using COM interop

  I'm trying to write COM wrappers around an existing C++ library so that it can be called from managed code, and for the most part I have been successful. The managed application can create COM objects in the native library and call them. I've been getting nothing but crashes, however, when I try to make calls in the opposite direction, and I'm wondering if there might be a known problem in this part of COM interop. What I've done is created a COM interface in the native code that is never actually implemented in the native code. The native DLL is then referenced by the managed project, creating an interop DLL. I then have my managed C# form ...Show All

• SQL Server Results displayed in visual studio, but not on website

  I've created a simple report (June CTP) based on a paramaterized stored procedure using integrated windows security.  When I preview the report in the designer, I get results as expected.  Deployment to the web server was successful.  After entering paramaters and clicking [View Report], the page refreshes with no data - just my paramater bar.  I am using the same paramaters as in the designer.  Any ideas Figured this out.  I didn't really remove the SQL paramaters, just ignored them in my SP.  Apparently, even though I was allowing empty strings in one of the paramaters, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dynamic Help

  I was just curious about where dynamic help is in the VBEx IDE.  It is referred to in the help files but there is no entry for it in the help menu, nor in the options dialog and the suggestion of adding it using <view><otherwindows><command window> does not work for me since there is no command window sub menu item   I guess I must be missing something     Jon       The dynamic help window is not included in the Visual Basic 2005 Express edition.

• Visual Studio Changing bin and obj folders location

  Greetings, I redefine the OutputPath, the IntermediateOutputPath and the BaseIntermediateOutputPath, but I still get some empty bin and obj directories under the project folder. Is there some other properties that I must override Best regards, Gustavo Guerra That's the VB/C# project system creating those folders. There's a harder dependency on obj. It's where, for example, refactoring builds its temporary assemblies to. Still, we ought to make it completely customizable -- it just isn't yet. Sorry Dan ...Show All

• Visual Basic "hello world" won't run

  I am a newbie who just downloaded visual web developer 2005 express on my xp home system.  It installed without errors as far as I can tell.  Is express really stripped-down, and they don't tell you what is missing Like this "hello world" program example:  I can't paste the example page here, Right-click WON'T LET ME! Anyway, the page says "create visual basic console application project".  The closest I could find was a "create text template"  So I pasted the example code on that.  Then it says choose the appropriate "build command".  The choices I get are "build selection" or "build solution".  ...Show All
