• Visual C++ PostQuitMessage Issue

  Hi, I have tried to automate my application through a small VB program.  This program runs fine except for when you press the quit button.  This button succesfully navigates to the designated function in my C++ code for my application but at this point it fails.  All that is in this function is PostQuitMessage(0);.  It is on this call that the application locks up, as well as the VB app locking up.  I have looked at the ...Show All

• Windows Forms .net 1.1 - Apply Windows theme on all controls

  Is it possible to apply the XP style to the Tabpage control background and the numericupdown control I'm writing my app in vb.
