• Windows Forms Ctrl + Enter with a MenuStrip

  Hi, I was following a tutorial to try to make my own browser interface. I tried to implement the Ctrl+Enter in a Textbox to make like Internet Explorer to complete the address, eg.  google => http:// www.google.com  . The problem is that I cannot take the Ctrl+Enter keys event while I enable my MenuStrip (eg. File, Options, Help,....) as it makes the focus on the MenuStrip! When I "un-enable" or delete my MenuStrip, it works well. When try to replace the Control key by the Alt key, it works well too. There are no shortcuts keys in the MenuStrip. I tried with the e.Control and e.KeyValue = 17  items, but it stills makes the ...Show All

• Visual C++ Program runs slower when compiled with Visual Studio 2005 (in Release with optimization)

  Hey, I have a performance problem with the new Visual Studio 2005. My code (which is a genetic algorithm) is 3 times slower when compiled under Visual Studio 2005 compared to when I was compiling it under Visual Studio 2003. With Visual Studio 2003, it used to run in 3.0639 seconds, and now it runs in 9.0031 seconds. I run both code in Release. I tried every optimization option, and adding the /D_SECURE_SCL=0 compiler command to the project options with only minor differences. Is there any other way to get back to the speed Visual Studio 2003 It is a bit absurd to upgrade to a new compiler and get lesser performances. Thanks a lot!!! Antoine ...Show All
