• Visual C++ show/hide/show window

  Hi. Sorry if this is too smple, but I can't get this to swing. I am making a small graphics app that includes a few windows that I only want to appear at certain times, via a trigger. Setting up the trigger is not a problem. I use it to start and stop animations and show/hide scene nodes. But I can't seem to apply this same way to a window. Here is what I have at the moment: ShowWindow(hMessage , SW_HIDE); if (distance < 10.0f) { ShowWindow(hMessage , SW_SHOW); } "distance" is defined as the distance between the camera and the collision object, and again, it works fine for other uses. In the given code, the window nev ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is TSF Server included in Whidbey Beta2 DVD?

• Visual Studio Express Editions Sourcesafe and Express Editions??

  Can I use a version control tool like sourcesafe with any of Express Editions Roygar - The short answer is no.  Niether SourceSafe nor the new version control system that is available with Visual Studio 2005 Team System are integrated into Express.  You could potentially use a source control system that you control through an external tool or through the command line, but you won't be able to get this integrated into the Express IDE.  For developers who are using source control, we encourage you to use Visual Studio Standard or above.  See the chart at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs20 ...Show All

• Windows Forms What's the purpose of 'PreviewKeyDown ' event?

  What's the purpose of new 'PreviewKeyDown' event The doc doesn't say much. Is the only difference that it occurs before the 'KeyDown' event If everyone start using this instead, won't it simply replace 'KeyDown' When should I use one or the other This event is fired before the KeyDown event is fired. It only gives your an preview and you can't set the Handled flag. Use this event for logging logic, shortcut logic because this will be allways fired and can't be stopped by setting a Handled flag. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SqlTrackingQuery comments and questions

  I've just installed beta 2, and I'm glad to say I find things much more robust in general, and somewhat faster (though the fact that I got a new machine might have something to do with it ). Anyway, I've been checking the new SqlTrackingQuery facilities and I gotta say it's very nice to have something like this; it really seems like it is something useful in building more robust implementations and providing tooling for problem diagnose and stuff like that. However, I do have a few comments and questions on it. The first one is: Why is the API so based on the use of List<T> My main reason for asking is that exposing List<T> types ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I make VS 2005 use .net 1.1 Framework?

  How can I force VS 2005 to use the older .net frameworks   I'm trying to write an application and make it as compatible as possible.  Being stuck with using the .net 2.0 framework is going to force me to scrap my project. There is currently a workaround using msbuild to target the 1.1 Framework from within VS2005: http://blogs.msdn.com/jomo_fisher/archive/2005/04/22/410903.aspx and http://www.longhornblogs.com/robert/archive/2005/06/03/14156.aspx and http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BuildingNET11ProjectsUsingVisualStudio2005.aspx The feature is coming soon to be built in without having to do this wor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSDN Academic Alliance

  Will TFS be available for universities via the academic alliance program I couldn't find any page with any information on that. Let me also state my opinion on that: I think learning how to organise team development, manage a dev process etc is a key component of any CS education. So, I think you guys should do everything so CS faculties can provide a TFS for all their students so that they learn how to use it. Along that line I believe you should include the Team Suite in the academic alliance program instead of the pro version. I think it is so important to NOT have students use tools that are less professional than what they will use on ...Show All
