I have implemented an windows application using Visual studio 2008 and for front end I used MFC Controls.
I need to change look and feel of application. Here is Ui sample image of old and new look.
Can anybody suggest me how it can be done in visual studio or should I use some other tool.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I can think of 3 ways:
Implement it yourself
Use an external library like Codejock
Adding a manifest file to your project
Using a manifest file will give you the look and feel of the OS your app is running on.
You can overwrite some needed methods of default CMFCVisualManger by creating your own class.
Then it's up to you how you want to design it.

According to Apple we should new build Thumbnail or Preview Extensions instead of the old Quick Look generators which will be deprecated (probably in Big Sur).
There is also no Option to create a Quick Look plug-in project in Xcode anymore. Instead you need to create an application that contains a quicklook extension target.
My question is: Can I not create a standalone Quick Look extension (or plug-in) anymore to preview files without a useless wrapper app that fulfils no purpose? Has anyone tried or found out if this is still an option?
Thank you.
IntelliJ IDEA is pretty amazing for Grails development work. It is rather demanding on resources (particularly memory), though, and takes a long while to start up, so occasionally I like to use Visual Studio Code instead for light editing. I'm trying to tune it most effectively for Grails development. Any tips would be most welcome. One thing I'd particularly like to know is if there is some way of setting up a beautifier/formatter for .gsp files.
First of all, you'll have to setup VS Code for java. You can follow this page https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/java
Then, you'll have to install of the groovy language extension. Currently there are three such extensions in the library. code-groovy has more active users than the others and it provides good gsp support. I do use VS code for quick editing or just viewing source code occasionally but its still not the replacement of Intellij. I can't use VS Code for hardcore java/grails development yet.
I'm trying to create an app using Visual Studio and Xamarin that will be cross platform. I've been trying to follow a tutorial I found online to do this.
When the guy in the video went to create a new project, he had the below screen, and created a Blank App (Xamarin.Forms Portable
I've installed the necessary components (Xamarin, WPF and a couple of others) with the IDE, however I don't see this option.
I've created a project using Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) but it doesn't have the same structure as the desired template. Am I missing a component? Is the template called something different now?
The video is almost two years old, which means that some parts look different today.
If you click on the create a new xamarin.forms app, you will come to a new step where you can choose a blank app.
Then you have a choice, either choose shared projects or .net (portable).
The .net will give you a portable class library, like that in the video.
The two methods have different advantages.

I hope the information will help you!
I have a project in visual basic 6.0 with an error message that,
'msconctl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered:
a file is missing or invalid.
Can't figure out what is the problem,
i am also getting an error:- object or with block variable.
please help?
thanks
First, I'm pretty sure that you are talking about mscomctl.ocx (not msconctl.ocx), the Microsoft Common Control library, which is where you get all the common controls (text box, label, etc.) used in VB6. If you don't have this registered properly, VB6 won't run.
You haven't told us if you're using a 64-bit version of Windows or not. This makes a difference. In any case, you should be able to work out a solution by reading This.
MSComCtl.OCX was in 2012 modified in such a way that it became in-compatibable with legacy VB6 applications. MSComCtl.OCX prior to that was working fine. I ran into this and the only alternative left to me was to remove the control from the project ( in my case a Status Bar ) and use a Label field to cover the duties of the Status Bar. Once I was upgraded to a .Net Codebase I re-introduced the .Net Status Bar and things were back to normal. You probably didn't do anything wrong...its just a change to MSCOMCTL.OCX that once applied to your machine will break old VB6 projects that use that control. If you run or attempt to compile the app, VB6 should point you to the line(s) of code encountering the error. That will tell you which control is being victimized. Consider removing the control, and also the reference to MSComCtl, and creating workarounds. Sorry...just another nail in the VB6 coffin. I hate it but can't prevent it. Hope this helps.
I just googled on how to use Application Settings and came up with the following
msdn article. It describes to ways to add Application Settings at design time in VS 2010. One using the Project-Properties and a second using the Properies-Window for a selected control.
I tried the second one, but there simply is no node Data or a property ApplicationSettings under it. Is the article outdated? (although it states there that it applies to VS2010) Or have I overlooked something else? I vaguely remember seeing some such property in an older VS version but I am not sure about that.
Edit: My project is a WPF project.
Application setting binding in the Properties window is only supported for Winforms projects, not WPF.
