• Smart Device Development DateTimePicker: Calendar "Pop Up" Button

  Hi All, I'm working with a DateTimePicker on a Pocket PC device.  The DateTimePicker has an arrow button, that when pressed "pops up" a calendar. Ideally, I would like the button to be large enough to be pressed by a user's finger. 1) Is there a way to change the arrow button's size 2) Is there a way to programatically cause the calendar to "pop up"     Thanks in advance, Eric Take a look at my blog post: http://blog.opennetcf.org/ayakhnin/PermaLink.aspx guid=4069b90f-f53f-4726-8790-36a9d3830aed ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GDI+ & Textures again

  I've seen this appear before, but I just want to make sure there's no possible way to accomplish the combo in an efficient manner before I resort to external libraries such as Cairo or AGG. So - can I make the Graphics object draw to an arbitrary memory area where I just supply pixel format, width, stride and height Would it be possible by p/invoking the non-.NET version of GDI The reason is that I'm adding a "processing" (processing.org) -like system to my gamedev kit Endogine, and to keep the performance at an acceptable level I simply can't go around copying bitmap objects to textures for each frame update... ...Show All

  Is it sensible to create a hierarchy using DataContracts For instance i would like to have one DataContract contain a (generic) list of children that are also DataContracts. What are the issues in doing this Secondly I'm not sure of what my options are regarding initialization of the members of a DataContract. Do I have to have a create method on my ServiceContract for every DataContract I wish to initialize I only really want to initialize value types and instantiate a List (see above). Does this require a call to a service method Thanks for any advice, Dave. There's certainly no problem nesting DataCon ...Show All

Thanks, Joe Laden (an old Clipper programmer) This worked great! Thank you very much.   Apparently FoxPro can't handle controls in an array or container.  Your method works by using evaluate() to produce the literal names of the controls. Joe Laden ...Show All
