hello to you all.<br/>is there a way i can download the entire nonvisualc++ section in my computer? i wish to be able to read it while i am offline. or maybe getting a printable version could solve.. dunno.

Currently, an article if appearing in one section will not be visible elsewhere. I have at times found that a particular article could fit well in multiple sections, for e.g. a topic detailing painting in dialogs could make be a valid candidate under GDI section as well a good candidate to show unde...

...or does it seem like the number of "clueless" people offering "solutions" [which are sometimes just plain wrong!] with "authority" has increased???

I often have problems scanning for "new posts". A large part of this is that I will often have multiple browser windows open to dev-archive, and the action in one window will convince the forum software that my point of reference for "new posts" has been updated.The result is that I have to go to ea...

==> Book Winners for SeptemberIt is hard to believe September is over, but it is! We had a lot of great articles published in September. I've once again randomly drawn two names from those who had articles published. The names are:Martyn BrownDrDotNet1981If one of these names is yours, then...

We are considering changing the visible information regarding Reputations. Right now as a regular member of dev-archive you cannot see who left reputations points (positive or negative). This means that people can leave anonymous points (although mods/admins can see who left ratings). We are looking...

Admin,I've found a couple of articles that don't have any download link in them. Can you help me out?Articles: http://www.dev-archive.com/Cpp/controls/controls/extendingsubclassingtechniques/article.php/c5313/ http://www.dev-archive.com/Cpp/controls/controls/extendingsubclassingtechniques/a...

Hi everyone. Is it possible to find all my reputation received (not only last 5), in my user CP? :rolleyes:

The problem with smilies is that sometimes they snake in when least expected. For instance if I want to post ios:: out and don't let a space between ':' and 'o' then I get ios::out, with :o which I don't want there.foo:: Dumb is another example for a smiley :D .Are ther...

Hi,I have registered today (on the main site), and at first I couldn't login at the forum because the password was incorrect. But the password worked at the main site, so I changed it, and know it seems to work. But I have not joined June 1999 (I was 10 years old at this time :confused: ) and I...

Dear All,As you see that the dev-archive members are increasing day by day and most of them are beginners, who don't bother to read the FAQs or search the forum, or don't use MSDN or even do not search google first posting and sometime there posts are as all the other members are being pai...

I have this problem with tags. Take this for example:#include <iostream>Here, where HTML is disabled, you see iostream between those < >. But in the FAQ forum you only get to see#includeAnd if I use this code:vector<int> array;onlyvector array;is displayed.How can this problem be s...

Unfortunately, I must post the following due to a couple of people abusing the reputation ratings:This is a public statement to state that the abuse of reputations can result in your reputation count being removed or reset to zero.

When I visited this site in the past the homepage had links to samples for various windows controls. These links are now gone, have they been removed from the site or moved somewhere?<br/>Thanks

I think dev-archive lacks a COM development forum where developers might ask for COM development help.Although COM started out rather simple todays COM development can be a complicated process: Some concepts often associated with COM development:COM,ActiveX,MTA,STA,Main Thread STA,TNA,Apartments,COM...

How do I search for my own posts? The only way I've found to find my own posts is to search for my name in "Members List", the click on the "Find all posts..." or "Find all threads started by..." links. How come those links aren't provided in my own User CP?

In October, Darwen*Eduard Liebenberger*were the winners of either Kate Gregory's VC++ .NET Kick Start or the dev-archive Visual C++ Goodies book. Congratulations go to them! In November and December, we will again give away the choice of the above two books to a couple of people who have aritcl...

Admins sorry for putting this thread in VC++ section, but it is neccessay for the beginning here!My general query/suggetion is why not dev-archive should add a [ccode] (or something like that for C/C++ code) tag instead of [code] and [php] tags.Are C/C++ programmers too much ignored and has less val...

Hi!Since I've become a dev-archive member, an increasing number of junk or suspicious mails are incoming on my notification email address, which is not listed in my public profile. I find it weird that no junk mails are received on listed ones.Is it anyone else facing this problem?How secure is...

Hi,I am now using WYSWYG editor for posting my posts, but it has few problems (that I found uptil now): The "Insert Link" does not allow us to enter string for the link, it just asks for URL When using it, it is sometimes necessary to edit the [] tags as well -- which we should be able to see and ed...

Something strange is happening with the time on the board and the daylight saving. My time-zone is GMT+1 Madrid and daylight savings is currently off (i.e. it's really GMT+1). I have enabled the option "automatic daylight saving" in my forum options. Say it is currently 7:25 pm. When I post...

Hi there,This is a general query about posting code. I have added code to a few postings using the vb code[code] int i; ... ...[\code]as per the instructions given in the FAQ.But my code just comes out as I typed in. I have noticed that in many posts the code comes in a scrollable window - a...

This is the third time in as many months. It is ALWAYS during a long post or one I have walked away from and come back to meaning the time between "reply to" and the first "preview post" is quite long. I get the nice "this program has to close" popup. And what sucks is that I can see most of my pos...

I want to display an image in a post, but the only way I know is to give an url, using the img tag. But if I have it on my PC not on the web how do I do that? I know that I can attach it to the post, but how can I have it displayed in the post and not as a link in the attachments section?Thank you....

What does that mean in my profile? How can I change this...<br/>Also I have referals value as 0. How can I add..?

I am using MSN Messenger to trap the latest post, but as we can detect, it is long process: Open the mail box, goto to 'this' mail, click on the link, and the thread will appear, which is not well scrolled to the last post I read.So, it would be better if dev-archive (or any dev-archive me...

What are points and those little green cylinder thinghies?

I'm kinda new to this website (and programming as well) so please forgive me if I'm proving my ignorance with this question.Browsing the article database, I found a bit of code that I think will be pretty useful; however, I didn't find any mention of copywrite information in the artic...

Hi all,This discussion is about Articles Posted on dev-archive main site.

Just a thought...after reading so many different "solutions" to many posting in the Visual C++ forum, would it be possible to maybe separate the forum into MFC and Non-MFC forums. I'm sure there are people the love MFC and some that don't and this would enable them to only post/read the a...

I am noticing that VB Posters have higher cumulative ratings than other Posters.For example Joe has 500 total posts in VB Area and 100 points.Bugs Bunny has a total of 500 posts in the C++ area and 75 points.I am wondering if we should not be able to break our ratings into an itemized list of progr...

I think title is enough to express everything.For putting my image (picture of mine, not avatar) I need to resize it too small (less than or equal to width/height 50). I hope CG should increase the size (dimensions) limit imposed for Actual image of member. My actual image is 38x50 pixels and only 4...

When I come to post, I don't understand why I got 'answer' from server<br/>Server Error<br/>The following error occurred:<br/>[code=SERVER_RESPONSE_CLOSE] The server closed the connection while reading the response. Contact your system administrator. <br/>Thank you

Why has the "Moderated by" column been enabled? Since the most of them (Mick, Andreas, Yves etc) are Super Moderators (so called Operators) I can't find any sense in it. And another problem with it: It heights the cells and this looks pretty ugly though.<br/>Just my point of view. ;)

Now that reputations have been restored to the forums, is there a chance that points earned using the old reputation method which was retired 2 or 3 years ago could be reinstated to those who earned them under that system?
