I am using windows xp and working in code::blocks 13.12 . I am making a game in which I need to open a new window. I heard that it is impossible to open a window in c but you can open one using windows form application. I have made many projects in c but I am a beginer in windows form application. I do not know how to open a new window in it. Can somebody please help me.
I had searched a lot, but it is still not possible to do what you're trying to do. Automatically, when you run a program in code::blocks, a new window appears, in which the program runs.
Windows Form Application, is something totally different. Don't get confused.
Although, you can change the mode to full screen.

How do i make a Windows Form program which in the toolbar you do like File > Open and it shows a Windows Open file dialog and after you selected the exe it will create a child window with the program itself like i open App.exe
it should show then a child window with the icon and the Program Title and the program contents and is this even possible? I'm beginner on coding in WinForms this so i don't know how to do it.
Anyone can Send a code which does this? I never coded WinForms in my life im just asking here so i can learn some coding on WinForms
I've tried to find tutorials but there was none of them that helped me
in my company we developed a C#/WPF application and everything works fine. By request of our customer we are limited to the .NET 3.5 framework. In the application there is a settings dialog which is displayed correctly on our companies windows 7 systems. Now our customer has sent us a screenshot that shows the dialog (a window) which is totaly blank. He also wrote that the ui controls only appear if he moves the mouse over them.
We are not able to reproduce this. It looks like a missing repaint of the window or something like this. It is working perfectly on several of our systems. Does anyone know what could cause this effect? We do not have any informations about the computer systems that are used, except that they use windows 7.
Thanks in advance
This can be a hardware render bug.
Try a software render mode(this needs a change in your source code):
Software rendering mode - WPF
Or just ask client to enable software mode on his machine:

I'm working on a simple WPF-based screensaver and can't get the thumbnail preview to work.
When you open the display control panel and go to configure the screensaver, the selected screensaver is supposed to display a thumbnail preview within the dialog:
I've found several good examples online of how to do this, including:
Writing a screen saver in WPF
WPF Screensaver (Codeplex)
CC Hearts Screen Saver
Following these examples, I couldn't get anything to work - the preview thumbnail turns black, but nothing else appears. Downloading each of these (and a few others) and running them had the same result - a blank preview thumbnail. I've done this before on Windows 7 and it wasn't hard, so I was a bit frustrated.
Copying the binaries across to a Windows XP machine, I found that each of them showed a preview thumbnail successfully.
So, there's something that's changed between Windows 7 and Windows 8.
What do I need to do differently to enable my WPF screensaver to properly display a thumbnail preview on Windows 8?
I've found the most common problems with moving code from Win 8 to Xp is permission and dependencies. Check that the files are not needing some weird permissions (not sure what permission the preview runs with) and that all dependencies are honoured (also their permissions).
If I remember right, all windows screen savers are just renamed exe files with command line arguments. Maybe try rename it and run it directly?
Check what version of the framework you are using and try to use the client profile if possible
Also Try this small workaround if helps:
In Windows Explorer Go to > Options > Change folder and search
options then click on the View tab and uncheck the box that
says Always show icons, never thumbnails.
I hope it should work.
Using XCode 3. I know there's an option preferences > debugging > On Start: show console. This automatically brings up a separate console window. Is there anyway to attach the console window so, say, it appears below code C code I'm currently working on?
Help appreciated.
Switch to All-In-One mode of Xcode from it's preferences (it's possible, when all project windows are closed). After that you will have normal/debug mode switch and in debug mode will be able to see watch & console sections at the bottom.
We have a legacy application running on UNIX. Our windows users login to the application via a terminal application or commaind prompt. The app looks like one of those car-dealer like application which runs in dos mode interface.
I am creating a new winform interface to the application but still want to keep the legacy application online for a while, however I dont want the users to open up command prompt, but instead access the application from within my winform. Is there a usercontrol which I can place on the winform for command prompt access?
Solution ~ Ended up using a control from Rebex.net, fast integration and easy to use.
See this blog post from Jeffrey
With his code you can write to a Console window, even from a Windows Forms application.
NOTE
I would NOT recommend to do that.
A Windows Application should use the Windows as GUI and not the console window...
I've been keeping my eye on this one. It looks promising.
