• Visual C++ Graphics Issue

  Hey, For my final project for school, I decided to program the known game SOKOBAN in Visual C++. We didn't learn much about graphics but it's vital i'll use it. So, what I have so far is all the classes for the game ready, and their implemntation, reading a level from a .txt file and import it to a viewable level by printing bits of images into a whole level (the level printing is being done by the BitBlt function) My next thing to do was to clear the screen off all images and produce a second level, after the first one got finished (by clicking on a button for now) and I would like to know how can I clear the screen from all con ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Console output

  I have a few window console applications written using Express VC++ Beta2 which  sent output to a window within the IDE (I forgot what that window called, Quick Output ) when using "cout<<", "cerr<<" etc. I just uninstalled all the Beta products and installed VC++ express released version. I can not find that output window any more, all output produced by cout, cerr are sending to a seperate console window. Can I still send these output to a window within the IDE Or is this feature removed from Beta2 For Win32, you can use OutputDebugString (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ ...Show All

• Visual C# abstract/virtual events

  If you have an abstract base class which has an event that children may implement, and none of the base class methods connect or raise the event, then what's the difference between declaring that event as either abstract or virtual I can't find much of anything in the docs about abstract or virtual events. An abstract method declaration provides no actual implementation, there is no method body; the method declaration ends with a semicolon no braces ``{ }''. public abstract void MyMethod(); The implementation is provided by an overriding method which is a member of a non-abstract class.

• Windows Forms could I type more than 1 charactors in ComboBox?

  I have a problem on ComboBox by C#. I have a long list data for this comboBox, when I type in the first charactor, then the data started by this charactor will show up. But there are still tons of data, so I wanna type in the second charator, third charactor... to narrow down the data to select. Could I do that   Thanks! AutoCompleteMode is new in .NET 2.0, that is, in the new Visual Studio 2005, not in earlier versions such as Visual Studio 2003 (.NET 1.1). What you are looking for is not the default behaviour of the combobox control. However, you can cause the combobox to drop down by setting its Dropp ...Show All

• Windows Forms Develping a Incremental Search Dialog in .NET

  Hi, The problem I am facing is I have a Data-grid and the menu item in the context menu opens up a Search Dialog(similar to Eclipse). It is used to search in a particular column in the data-grid. One option it has is "Incremental Search". It means as you would go on entering a letter in the textbox in this dialog, it will search in the data-grid. But the problem is, the moment I enter my first letter in the find dailog, it appropriately searches but it moves the "FOCUS" from this dialog to the grid and again I have to move my cursor to the textbox in this "Find" Dialog to start the search again. Because of this focussing problem betwee ...Show All
