• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Unmanaged directX and .net windows form

  I have written (with a pointer from you lot here - thanks) a visualisation program in unmanaged C++ DirectX. Everything works fine, however I need to be able to change and edit parameters of the model with the usual text input boxes and track bar, as well as haveing a menu with different options. I have written a little windows form program that does this but wihout the directx stuff. I would like to add my DirectX work into a window in the form but I have no idea about devices and that side of things (I just used the tutorials to set that end of things up). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. ...Show All

• Windows Forms multiline datagridview cells?

  In beta1, datagridview cells could contain display multiline data by default. In beta2, the data is shown on a single line with some control characters. (1) Can I set the cells to display multiline (2) Can I replace the control characters with something else (eg a double space) to make it look a little more professional Thanks You probably need to set your AutoSizeRowsMode property on the column in question... to AllCells, for example. -Andrew ...Show All

• Windows Forms MDI Problems

  Am getting the following problems with MDI forms: 1. Child forms set to maximised at design time do not appear maximised when shown. 2. Icons of maximised child forms do not show in the control box menu until the MDI form is resized. 3. I can't get the toolbar buttons of child forms to merge with those of the MDI form. I've set the AllowMerge property of the MDI form toolstrip to True, and MergeAction of the child form toolstrip buttons to Append and Insert, but they just don't appear. EDIT - OK, I can fix this with the ToolStripManager. 4. I want the toolstrip to be draggable to any side of the MDI form. I'd use a single toolstrip container ...Show All

• Smart Device Development passing objects

  Hi. I understand that the smartphone/.NET CF (1.1/2.0) does not have a way to send objects using TCPClient/listener (in other words, from PC to phone) but can send strings.

• Visual Basic Splash Screen Problems

  Using VS 2005, I am using the splash screen facility within VB and within the code, having it run some general maintenance. The main exe has 5 different screens which can load depending on the command line parameter. The problem I'm experiencing (and having a lot of feedback from users) is the correct screen loads, the splash screen unloads but rather than return focus to the correct screen, the application on screen before the program was launched takes the focus. Eg. I have Windows Explorer on screen, launch the program. The prog loads and shows the generic splash screen and within a few seconds, the correct part of my app loads, the spla ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions My.Settings Values Read Only

  Hello All, I have a bit of a problem here and I can't seem to figure it out. My project is a Class Library. This Class Library is one project which is part of a larger solution. I have several application settings which are set up as part of the project. Within the Class Library's root class, Application, there are two methods. GetSettings and SaveSettings. GetSettings retreives the My.Settings values and sets them as various property values within the Application class. This part works fine. The SaveSettings method retreives the property values from the class and attempts to place them back into My.Settings and then execute My.Settings.S ...Show All
