• Windows Forms How to owner draw all in treeview

  hi! I want to set my stateimagesize to 32*32 in treeview control. But it not support, only support 16*16 size. I want to set TreeViewDrawMode values to OwnerDrawAll. The question is what's the steps of custom draw. It seemes that icons, checkboxes, plus and minus signs, and lines connecting the nodes must be drawn manually. I need an example. Thanks alot! The best example is the actual code that MS uses.  If you use a tool like Reflector you can dump the drawing code that MS uses.  However I think you'll find that the code is pretty ugly.  Furthermore you'll also probably need to handle mouse clicks because hit tes ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies no search results

  I had been using WDS with no problem, but since replacing my hard drive (I did a full backup then restored the whole lot to a new drive) I have not been able to get ANY search results from it.  The only other problem I had after the restore was with Office 2003, but after copying in the MSI files from the old drive this has been fine and I have had no other problems. I have re-indexed several times, moved the location of the index, removed and resinstalled WDS (twice, including once where I removed registry keys, and I have deleted any leftover folders), installed the enterprise WDS, and gone back to normal WDS - all to no avail. It hap ...Show All

• .NET Development CLR Profiling API - calling managed code from inside unmanaged ICorProfilerCallback

  What should I expect will go wrong if I use unmanaged profiling events from the CLR profiling API to call helper functions in the managed CLR during profiling API processing I have a working C++ shell that implements the profiling api and interacts with Rotor. Presently, the code does simple things like intercepting the JITCompilatation started method and displaying the extracted assembly name/module name. Now, I plan to call MSIL, managed code, helper objects from inside the ICorProfilerCallback::JITCompilation method. Essentially, I will slingshot from the inside the JITCompilation callback, reenter the CLR, do some work, and then al ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a way to delete a Work Item Type?

  I've been playing with the customization capabilities for Work Item Types (kudos MS for some very cool extensibility features here).  Is there a tool available (or some type of workaround) that allows you to delete a work item type Thanks. Currently for v1 there is no way to delete a WorkItemType (WIT).  You can update/modify an existing workitemtype by exporting the WIT, modifying the xml and importing again.  This will overwrite the existing WIT. You can also delete projects if you really need to clean things up a bit. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Disabling the close button

  This may have been asked before, but I cannot get a solution to this - how to disable the close button in the title bar (the red cross on the upper right corner). I have seen code examples in the net using the API functions which are supposed to work in VB6, but they dont in my Express Edition. You can try this to hide the x button. On the properties of the form1 for example look at properties and find controlbox and than set it to false. It will hide the x button but your app can be closed than by pressing ALT+F4 Hope this helps. ...Show All
