• Visual C++ problem with adding callback

  The errors is trying to say that the compiler is finding it ambigious to resolve your parameter since there are 2 instances of SmAddCallback that can fit your call. You need to be more specific in the second parameter. Hope this helps! Thanks,   Ayman Shoukry   VC++ Team Hi, I changed from SmHandler __stdcall RecoTextCB(SM_MSG reply, caddr_t client, caddr_t call_data ) to SmHandler __cdecl RecoTextCB(SM_MSG reply, caddr_t client, caddr_t call_data ) and rc = SmAddCallback(SmNrecognizedTextCallback, *RecoTextCB, NULL);   However the callback event is not fired, I also tried with GetProcAddress /* ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to emulate "Get Recursive" on source safe to see what files are changed

  I really hope this is possible, because it seems to basic. I would like to know all the files that have been updated since the last time I synced with my source safe database. If I do "Get Recursive" on my top level project it simply updates the files, and doesn't even tell me which ones. Is there some output or log I can look at every time I do Get Recursive so that I can go and see what changes have been made Thanks, Kevin The command (tf.exe) is in ...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE This is the main command line utility for TFS version control; you can do everything from here you can ...Show All

• SQL Server MCTS Exam 70-431 Database Administration Study Documementation and Samples ?

  Hi, I am looking for good documentation and examples to use to 'study' for Microsoft exam 70-431. This has everything to do with nuts-and-bolts Database Administration of SQL Server 2005.

• Windows Forms SuspendLayout and Layout Event on a UserControl

  Hi! Is there any way to force Layout event to be fired Here is what I have in mind: I have a UserControl which has a number of custom properties. Each time the value of a property changes this has impact on some controls added on the custom control. To improve peformance I want these modifications to be suspended when SuspendLayout was executed for the control. So I thought that the proper thing to do is to add the code that applies property modifications in the Layout event. What is left to do is force this event every time a property changes and let the framework decide whether to fire the Layout event or wait since SuspendLayout ...Show All

• Visual C++ How can I manipulate strings in ATL

  Some problems happened during my simple development on IE. When I try to use MessageBox to display one string, manipulated by"strcat", there is no error or warning during compiling.
