• Visual C++ Halting Keypresses?

  Hi all,     I am writing a program that is supposed to lock a user from the common key presses, i.e. Alt + F4, Crtl+Alt+Del, etc.  I know I have to have case WM_KEYDOWN:     switch(wParam)     {     //The Keypresses     }     break; My problem is that I do not know how to halt the keys from doing anything.  I am certain that VK_F4 is for the F4 key, but how do I link alll of the keypresses of one command together, i.e. the keypresses for the Task Manager.  I also need to know how to make the window, that will disappear, to keep windows ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Random server 400 errors

  Usually on startup of VS.Net I get 400 errors connecting to TFS. After 1-3 retries it works. The same things happens once in a while for checking out code. Usually after 1 or 2 retries it's successful. I looked on the server IIS logs and I don't see any 400 errors. I'm wondering if anyone else is getting this error All the directories have integration authentication enabled. It's just very annoying. Please post the actual errors that you receive. Additionally, check the event log of the application-tier (log: application) and post any errors or warnings for TFS components. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Debugger problem "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."

  I have recently install VS 2005 Pro and I cannot get breakpoints to work properly in my C++ Win32 application. After compiling for Debug and placing a breakpoint, when I run my program the breakpoint indicator becomes a hollow circle with an exclamation point and I see the above message when I hover over it. This makes no sense to me because I have verified the following: 1. Yes, I have compiled for Debug. 2. Output for my program indicates that "Symbols loaded". 3. I see the .pdb file in my \<project>\debug\ folder with the correct build date/time. Curiously, I have created other new projects under VS 2005 tha ...Show All

• Windows Forms 121 PictureBoxes slow my app. Help me optimize?

  I'm developing a program that uses 121 pictureboxes on one form and when I run the program, it is rather slow.  I haven't even coded yet!  If I try to move the window, the contents get especially choppy.  It's even worse if I'm moving the app and it hits the edge of the screen.  Plus, my pictureboxes all need to have transparent backgrounds.  That slows my app even more. I know that the alternative is having one big picturebox and using the Paint event.  I've tried that back in Visual Basic 2003 and it was a total nightmare. Can anyone help me optimize my app so that all the pictureboxes don't slow it ...Show All

• Visual C++ Post-build events in VC++ 2005 always running

  Why are post-build events (Configuration properties - Build Events - Post Build Event) executed regardless of whether any build occurred in the main part of the build If nothing changed in the project, i.e. the main build never occurred because it was already up to date, a post-build event is still run. In VC 6.0 when the build was up to date, the post-build event did not run which is the behavior I desire. Should this be filed as a bug or is this by design Is there any way to make a conditional post-build event based on whether the main build occurred, like in VC 6.0 Thanks, Ted. FINALLY ...Show All

• SQL Server Conditional calculated member

  Hi there, I have a newbe MDX question. Im trying to make a calculated member that contains a different calculation depending on a value of an attribute. something like: "CASE WHEN Attribute X = "string A" THEN calculation X ELSE calculation Z"  I tried the IFF and the CASE statement, but with negative results Any Suggestions I am using MS AS 2005 RTM. A more efficient way to achieve this in AS 2005 (assuming that AttributeHierarchyEnabled is set to True for Attribute X) is to scope the calculation in the cube MDX Script on Attribute X.

  Hello, I am using VS 2003. Lets say for example we have just a simple form and at the top of the form we have the default minimize, maximize and close button. How would I create an event for when if the user clicks the close button at the top of the form before the window closed it would perform an operation For example, if the user clicked the close button at the top, it would print a message box saying "Are you sure you want to close" or something of that nature. I simply just want to be able to execute some code when the user clicks that close button. Thanks. ~zero sorry this code i was sending to some other ...Show All
