• Visual C++ CRT functions met with IntelliSense Problem

  Hi all, Recently I met with some IntelliSense problem with Visual Studio C++ 2005. When I type function name, ie, _beginthreadex, Visual Studio cannot provide parameter list, and the following message are shown in status bar: IntelliSense: 'Could not resolve identifier'. Is that mean CRT is not supported by IntelliSense please help. Well, I see the same thing in a newly generated app-wizard Win32 console app.  This looks like a bug in intellisense to me and I have reported it to development. Here is a way to observe the problem - it need not be process.h, just any header file for which there is a #ifde ...Show All

• Visual Basic e.Graphics.FillElipse and "Beginning VB.NET 2nd Edition" by Blair, Crossland, Reynolds and Willis

  Good evening folks: As you probably know, I'm sort of a tinkerer-student developer, and I was working on creating a project where, if you select a radio button, the corresponding text box's background color will change to either red, yellow or green. Therefore, I was wondering if it was possible to change the shape of a textbox from rectangular to circular. Is it possible Thank you. IGFET909 Hello again, CGraus, and thank you for responding: I did some research within a book I had purchased in 2004 when I had begun study of Visual Basic .NET 2003 and came across Chapter 14, "Programming Custom Graphics", which to ...Show All

• Windows Forms add unbound data to combo box

  Hi guys! I bound my combo box data using data source and I want to add an item at the top of my combo box. Is this possible Please help! I just tried it in 2005 beta and it appears to be not possible.  Calls to comboBox.Items.Add or Insert result in "Items collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set." Perhaps the item could be added to the underlying dataset, but you would have to consider implications of this being updated back to the underlying database. Good luck... ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How does hardware fail? Silently?

  A basic test pixel shader outputs solid red, but when rendering in hardware the color of the model is solid white. I use ps_1_1 for this and have no errors except the wrong color. I thought the compiler would complain if it could not implament the shader on the currently selected graphics card, and not simply skip the shader step. If this wrong The only error is that the pixelshader is aparently not run. instead every pixel defaults to white. The models I render are as they should be. just wrong color. Perhaps my problem sounds familiar In advance thanks for any help I can get. My card is an ancient Geforce 2 mx 400 I create my device like ...Show All

• SQL Server HOWTO: Script object as execute?

  (Didn't know in wich group this question belongs....) Hi group, In QA there is an option called 'Script object as....' Were developing a lot of sp's.

• Smart Device Development Emulator softkeys

  I recently upgraded to VS 2005 FC1 and now I have a problem. For some reason, the Windows Mobile 5 Emulator's softkeys are mapped to numeric keys. For example, pressing the left softkey while in the home view will result in a '1' being entered instead of display the start menu. Pressing the right softkey will result in a '2'. Pressing the home and back buttons work. Pressing the Green phone button will result in a '3' and the red phone button in a '4'. All the other real numeric buttons appear to be ok. This only happens with the WM5 emulators (all of them) but the 2003 emulators work fine. Has anyone seen this and have any idea how to resol ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dynamic webbrowser creation on form

  I am trying to dynamically add a webbrowser control to a tabpage. The application traverses a file structure which has multiple folders, subfolders and files. When a root folder is found I create a new tab page, if a file is found in that folder I add a browser control and set the navigate property to point to the file which it should then display. If a subfolder is found I create a new tabcontrol, tabpage and then add a browser control. Again I set the navigate property to point to the file it should display. This works fine if I hardcode the form. In other words, If I drag the tabcontrol onto the form, create the tab pages and then d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Import settings as Visual Studio closes throws COMException

  My addin sometimes makes adjustments to the user preferences in Visual Studio. Before doing so, it backs up the current settings. I tried restoring the original settings in SolutionEvents.BeforeClosing and SolutionEvents.AfterClosing (2 separate tries). Both methods worked if the solution was closed via file->close. However, both methods ended up throwing a COMException if Visual Studio was closed without explicitly closing the solution first. I can catch the exception, but it's unacceptable action on the part of my addin to not restore the original settings when the solution closes.
