• Smart Device Development Change Button Text Size & Font

  Hi Everyone, I'm simply trying to change the size of the text within a Windows Mobile 5.0 MFC device button. In Windows CE, buttons usually have a standard font and text size. I am not able to change the text size of the button or it's font. The following is a quick snippet of what I'm shooting for: // Create fonts CFont theFont; LOGFONT lf; memset(&lf,0,sizeof(LOGFONT)); lf.lfHeight = 20; // Request a 100-pixel-height font lstrcpy(lf.lfF ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to turn on resource files in VC Express

  how do you turn on resource files in the "add new item" dialog Microsoft did not include a resource editor in Visual C++ Express.  In my opinion, this was done to strongly discourage Win32 development, and encourage .NET Framework (managed) development. Some of the other things they didn't include: - Platform SDK (Win32 headers and libraries) - can be gotten via Platform SDK download - New Win32 p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to install lightweight Team Foundation Client just for bug tracking purposes?

  Is there a very lightweight Win32 UI client that can be installed from VSTS Beta 2   I've seen a reference to a June 2005 CTP release that lets you install what appears to be "just the TFC client".  But with Beta 2 the Team Suite CD only has the option to "Install Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2", which sounds like a lot more than I want to install. Also, is there a web interface that lets you do more than just see the pre-canned SQL re ...Show All

• Visual C++ BeginInvoke help!

  From what I read, BeginInvoke can be used to call functions that take a long time to execute by making them execute on a separate thread.  I wrote a little test program to try this and I cant get it to work.  Forgive me if I have got it completely wrong, i've only moved from 'C' to VC++.NET in the last few months. I have a button that when clicked should run a little delay routine (large_function in external_class) for a couple of seco ...Show All

• .NET Development Activator.GetObject and client-activated object mutually exclusive?

  Hi all, From reading the documentation and articles, it appears that when the remotable type is configured as a client-activated type, Activator.GetObject cannot be used. I tried creating an instance of a client-activated remote object using Activator.GetObject. I started from a working implementation of a Singleton to a client-activated type. I can get a proxy, but every call to a method on the proxy results in a "Requested Service not found" e ...Show All
