• Visual C# Any way to run Single Document Interface (SDI) with multiple top level forms?

  I am presently exploring the Visual Studio 2005 Express beta 2 and would like to use multiple top level forms in an SDI context (as is found in Word, etc.). I came across the article by Chris Anderson entitled "Real World Applications Sample, Part1: Adding ADI, Single Instance, and a Forms Collection to Windows Forms" but that seems to have been written for VS 2002. Its references do not seem to be included in the 2005 edition. So is such a thin ...Show All

• Visual C++ Lost WM_DRAWITEM Messages

  I have an MFC DLL statically linked MTD project that creates a CMenu adds menu items dynamically and tracks the messages by using an intermediate CWnd object to capture WM_MEASUREITEM and WM_DRAWITEM messages. When moving this DLL to Visual Studio 2005 the WM_DRAWITEM messages stopped coming to the CWnd object. The WM_MEASUREITEM messages still are processed but for some reason the TrackPopupMenu thread simply returns. I can see the actual me ...Show All
