I swear this was asked, but I searched, I didn't see anything. Perhaps I missed it, but if not, I'm asking here. Anyway, I'm looking for a good programmer's editor for Windows. I know about vim and emacs, but they aren't really what I'm looking for. My main focus right now is on jEdit, Notepad2, Notepad++, and Programmer's Notepad. But ...
I would like to load a BMP file, do some operations on it in memory, and output a new BMP file using C++ on Windows (Win32 native). I am aware of ImageMagick and it's C++ binding Magick++, but I think it's an overkill for this project since I am currently not interested in other file formats or platforms. What would be the simplest way ...
How should I show users which fields are compulsory in a windows forms application. I have considered changing the label color or maybe the background color of the text box.

Hi all, I was just wondering what (if any) the difference was between the following two message traps in MFC for the function, OnSize(..). 1 - Via Message map: BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CClassWnd, CBaseClassWnd) ... ON_WM_SIZE() .. END_MESSAGE_MAP() 2 - Via afx_message: afx_msg type OnSize(...); They seem to be used interchangeably, ...
On Windows Server, by default, external USB disks don't always get mounted. I'd like my program (written in C#) to be able to detect external USB disks, identify them, and then mount them. When it's finished, it should do whatever the programmatic equivalent of "Safely Remove Hardware" in order to flush and unmount the disk. Any pointe...
I've inherited a .NET application that pulls together about 100 dlls built by two teams or purchased from vendors. I would like to quickly identify whether a given dll is a .NET assembly or a COM component. I realize that I could just invoke ildasm on each dll individually and make a note if the dll does not have a valid CLR header, but ...
Hello, I use Visual Studio to do a lot of my coding. I find the open containing folder feature quite helpful. But I don't want the folder to be "opened" by the windows explorer, instead I want to "explore" the folder -- you know, get the nice little frame showing me all the other folders on the left hand side. Does anyone know how to do...

I have a source base that, depending on defined flags at build time, creates two different apps. I can build both of these apps using a Makefile by specifying two different targets, one that compiles with a flag and one that compiles without, and having an aggregate target that builds both. How do I do the equivalent thing from Visual C...
At work, I use Cygwin a lot because it offers me a small oasis in the vast desert of Windows. I inevitably end up running some non-Cygwin programs through the bash shell, such as build scripts (batch files created in-house) and the Subversion CLI binaries (I have the Windows ones installed). 99% of the time, I don't have any problems u...
I am writing a command-line tool for Windows that uses libcurl to download files from the internet. Obviously, the downloading doesn't work when the user is behind a proxy server, because the proxy needs to be configured. I want to keep my tool as simple as possible however, and not have to burden the user with having to configure the p...
