If anyone using WingIDE for their python dev needs: For some reason I get auto-completion on all the standard python libraries (like datetime....) but not on my own modules. So if I create my own class and then import it from another class, I get no auto-completion on it. Does anyone know why this is? ...
I am currently using FlashDevelop for my Actionscript3 development. I have also tried my hand with using Flex3 for my Actionscript3 development. I was curious if FDT was superior to the former and that if it's cost out-weighs it's usefulness. Are there any other applications out there to help streamline the process? ...
Just curious since I might be dabbling a little with Eclipse and Java - I'm used to having everything from one IDE with Visual Studio - code files, database projects that let me generate scripts and model diagrams, BI stuff, etc. Is there an Eclipse plugin or equivalent feature that lets you do similar? Specifically a way to, from a ...
I've seen several classes in the framework with this behavior (a refresh symbol in the watch window, and a warning). Is this controlled by an Attribute? If so, how can I emulate this in my library? EDIT: Thanks for the info! To clarify, I am developing a framework with properties that must access data from a single thread. Unfortunately...
I have tried installing the Consolas font pack so that I can use it with VS 2005. For some reason it looks a lot bolder than Wikipedia's and Jeff Atwood's examples. I read something about anti-aliasing and I am trying that now. Any ideas on how to get it too look thin and sleak? EDIT: Sorry found out. It has something to do with ClearTy...
I've been developing Java Web apps using Eclipse as the IDE. Planning to start developing a desktop app based on Java. Can someone suggest the best IDE for developing Java based desktop apps? (One that would have drag drop for building the interface like Visual Studio) ...
I want to use a recent MS C++ compiler (I need TR1) with old IDE (Visual C 6.0). I heard that I can download free command line MS C++ compiler only. Is it possible? Can I use new compiler with old IDE? If so what additional problems may arise? I want to keep VS6 cause I'm familiar with it. I want to use MS implementation of TR1 cause I ...
All the work I've done in C++ have either been to small to require a good debugger or been on windows so I've used Visual Studio at work. Now I'm faced with a situation where I need to write some C++ while being on Ubuntu, so after looking over some of the alternatives I have when picking between the IDEs I can honestly say I don't have...
I have been searching for the best open source PHP IDE for a while now. At first I used phpeclipse and later I tried eclipses PHP plugin but it was buggy and it seems they are not keen on really getting it working. I recently tried Netbeans PHP support and that seems the best so far. What do others use? Yes I know real men use vi or em...
I'm using Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express to learn a native API for a new project. What I'm wondering is: what productivity features present in the full version that you take for granted are missing from Visual Studio Express? I'm not referring to large "paid" features like MFC support - I'm thinking of small features (sometimes provided...
Class completion in Delphi is a big time-saver, but I haven't found a way to customize it. I would like a getter and setter for a property to be grouped together instead of being thrown all over my unit; The interface part is generated properly, but the implementation section becomes a mess if you leave things up to the IDE. I want met...
There used to be a way to do this, but I can no longer find this in Eclipse 3.4.1 installation I have. Does anyone know how to do this? ...
I am developing a package of IDE-registered components, most of which are derived from a base TFrame class. There are also various custom dialog forms that are called by these components, included in the package. I'm working in Delphi 2007. I'm noticing that sometimes frame and form units, which normally have an associated DFM file, d...
Every once in a while when I am tweaking my TFrame classes (adding properties, methods, etc), the IDE gets confused and acts as if it thinks the frame is a form, complete with header/caption, borders, etc. Yet, clearly the class is declared as a TFrame descendent. Any ideas as to what causes this, how to prevent, and how to fix? I'm...
I was curious how often other software developers reevaluated their development environments and tools. I used to work at a large corporation with rigid toolsets that everyone hated, but could do nothing about. So nobody ever really updated their development environments because we couldn't in that environment. Now that I'm in my own ...
Before you answer vi... I'm looking to set a development environment for programmers with mainly Windows/Visual Studio background. Of course Emacs and Eclipse come to mind as IDEs, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything with relation to things like build tool integration etc. Thanks in advance ...
I've created a custom control (a class that inherits from Control). When I put it on a Form I can work with it on Visual Studio IDE. It shows me an error and I don't see the form. The error message is this: La variable 'ctrlImagen' no está declarada o no se asignó nunca. It's a winform for a Compact Framework app. How can I solve this...
VS2008/C# newbie here. If I open our project, have no code files open, and hit Build Solution it'll show about half a dozen errors. Fine. When I start double-clicking open the individual code files (or double click on the error line) more errors start to crop up, and not necessarily about the file that I just opened. It seems like ...
I realize that I may be being a bit lazy, but does anyone know of a Visual Studio macro, where I can select some text inside of the Visual Studio IDE, click a button, and have it wrap the selected text with tags? It would generate something like: <strong>My Selected Text</strong> I would even be up for creating a macro, just not sur...
I have just bought a MacBook for some ruby development and like the look of Aptana Studio as a really nice IDE. The question I have, however, is that I want to know (before getting too deep into it, and potentially wasting time) is can I create plain old .rb files without the rails framework attached? Also, can I execute the ruby file ...
