• Visual Studio Express Editions prevent automatic change of the scrollposition of the scroll bars

  i am facing an irritating problem I am using: 1. A tab control 2. A panel with autoscroll set to true, Docked to fill the above mentioned tab control. 3. A tree view and picturebox inside the above mentioned panel. Both have the height more than that of the container panel and hence a vertical scroll bar comes in the panel automatically so far its fine the problem: when i click on the treeview loaded with nodes, the vertical scrollbar automatically changes the scroll position (increment) and the tabs of the tab control move beyond the top of the form and thus go out of vision. again the user has to manually move the scro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Start page question

  On the start page, there's a list of recent projects. I to remove projects from this list to remove clutter. The only way that I found was to move the directory and then click on the link. VS then asks me if I want to remove it since it cannot find the directory. Is there a better way Thanks, LGuy I think the existing project list in Start Page come from MRU List stored in the registry, but the Start Page script is checking if the File/Project exist first before the script will display it to the Start Page. The location of ProjectMRUList is in this path: HKCU/Software/Microsoft/VisualStudio/<Version>/ ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot shut down VS after using report designer

  Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says: Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again. Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager. I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS. Any Ideas Thanks! BobP I know I have experienced slowness in VS when I have multiple projects running in the background. Especially if one of the other projects is connected to a server.

• Visual C++ Issue with spawnv (tried spawnl, spawnlp and spawnvp, too)

  Dear all: I ran into an odd behavior, and I wonder whether anyone has encountered it before and possibly knows a fix/workaround/correction. Rather than post lots of code right away, I will describe it first. The program is a .C source with a regular int main(). If I use spawnv directly with the no wait flag, the path/command and the arguments (not interested in the env part), it works nicely. However, if I try to put the same logic into a subroutine, it works sometimes. My goal is to feel the PGP.EXE command line which has switches, e.g., '-h' for help. Some output goes to stdout, some to stderr. I use something close to Microsoft's he ...Show All
