• Visual C++ C++ Intellisense in VS2005

  I would like to use xml bases comments for unmanaged C++ code in VS2005.  The documentation seems to be a bit fragmented either talking only about assemblies (which I don't have because its unmanaged) or talking about the simple // comments that Intellisense picks up and existed in 2003. I see I can generate the xml file using the /doc option and it does work .  But there is no information on how to get this hooked up with Intellisense. Is this only possible with managed code   Or am I just doing something wrong Thanks, Alvin.  Its good hearing from the actual author of the link! The les ...Show All

• Visual C# Runtime Button_Click event

  Ok. I have created a button at runtime, the only problem is, I need it to have a click event. How do I go about doing that I tried your code above by creating a new Windows Application, adding a progress bar and a few labels to it, and creating a new timer.  The code does what I expected it to; the progress bar inches forward based on the tick event.  When the progress bar is full, it disappears along with a few labels and a button appears.  Clicking on the button removes the remaining labels. What is the problem that you're having with it Thanks, Anson Horton [ansonh@microsoft.com] Visual C# IDE PM ...Show All
