  We have a C#/VS2005 application with a modeless ToolWindow form that sits over the main form. After any action is performed on the ToolWindow, focus is set to the main form, so that the main form will receive user keystrokes, shortcuts, menu mnemonics and the like. The only action we are having trouble is moving the ToolWindow (i.e. dragging its title bar). We've captured both the Move and LocationChanged events and they have two problems: 1) ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ Express 2005 Intellisense and preprocessor Issue

  I have converted a VC++ 6.0 workspace with 3 projects to Express 2005.  In general, it is working well.  All three projects share some code files and use preprocessor macros to enable/disable some code sections.  It all compiles and works fine in both versions of VC++.  What I noticed is that that intellisense seems to be confused (or I just don't know how to set it up) as to which macro definitions are active ...Show All
