I am connecting to MAC machine remote from windows laptop to develop an app. I am planning to add constraints in xcode and the documentation says, I need to do contrl-dragging as specified here.
I couldn't find any help online on how to do this. Could someone please help?
Your question is confusing because Control-dragging is done the same way on a Windows PC as it is done on a Mac.
Windows laptops should have a Control key (possibly label Ctrl). Press and hold down that key. While you're holding the Control key down, press and hold down the left mouse button. Move the mouse. You are now Control-dragging. When the mouse cursor reaches the desired destination, release the mouse button and the Control key.
If that doesn't work or help you understand, you're going to have to be clearer about the nature of your confusion or the problem.
Well, you simply cannot do it, at least that way. Apple is aware of that problem that happens when you use Macincloud. The most you can do is this: https://support.macincloud.com/support/solutions/articles/8000007774-alternative-method-to-ctrl-drag-control-drag-

I would like to be able to stop windows from being dragged past the border of the screen. For example, open a window that is not maximized, click the top bar with the mouse and drag the window wherever you want. Now drag the window to the left/right/top/bottom of your screen and notice that part of the window goes off screen. I would like the window to bump up against the edge of the screen and go no further.
In the same way the cursor can't go over the edge on the left side, I would like to make a barrier so windows can't move over it either.
The main reason for doing this is because I am making a batch program in which I need it to not go off screen. This is annoying and I was hoping that someone here could be of some help.
Sorry if this is an obvious question, I tried a few searches but had no idea what terms to look up.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Sorry for the late response (I was researching this), but here is the answer:
There is no current way to do this easily. I'm sure you can edit windows src code and add that property, but the language it is made in is not in batch and it would be EXTREMELY hard to edit these files :(
Also, this would affect all windows, not only that specific program, meaning no easy shortcut for split screen. So no, you cannot do this.
On Windows 10 you can simply move a window near the edge of the screen and it will auto-fit on screen. You can also use shortcuts to do this. [Windows key] + [arrow left] or [arrow right]
you were able to change a setting in windows 7 to prevent this. I know that this is a feature if you are using multiple monitors but if using only one monitor there should be a way to change a setting. thank you Microsoft once again for making our lives complicated. the more you guy release a new windows the harder it is to use.
Finally i found real solution for this.
I was searching a real solution for my application.
There are many tricks but using reg we need to restart computer.
You can disable it from powershell. You need to call this file from your code.
Here is link.
Check download file at bottom called "DisableAeroSnap.ps1"

I have a problem - when accidentally launching any of native Windows apps and alt-tabbing to normal ones, then I have a hint (that occupies a fair quarter of the screen), that I can swipe between apps (screenshot is in Russian, but that's what it says).
The things is that I know for sure that my display is not a touch-screen, so how can I persuade Windows into believing that?
At the moment I have to reboot every time I got it (couldn't find any related process in the task manager to kill).
Thanks.
Actually a reply by #David.
You can move mouse to the upper left corner [to switch between apps], but also makes the swipe hint to hide.
Thanks, #David!
My manager thinks he's seen other people "lock" the windows on screen keyboard to the bottom of their applications, effectively docking it with their window, and wants me to reproduce this. They're using vb6 and occasionally vb.net.
I've done a good amount of googling on the subject and I'm resorting to looking into the windows SDK at the minute, but if someone out there can save me a few days of pain by either confirming that it's not possible or pointing me in the right direction if it is I'd appreciate it.
I find that the keyboard locks if I open it from the taskbar icon. It will stay on the bottom of the screen then, even if I'm not on a text field.
No idea how to achieve that programmatically though
You know the neat text zoom feature in VS2010 where you hold down Ctrl and then use your scroll wheel? Well, this seems to happen by default (and without ever pressing Ctrl) to nearly every file I open.
Usually I open a file and have to scroll to some lower point, but instead it starts zooming the text! I have found that by tapping the Ctrl key VS then realizes that it should scroll instead of zoom, but it's still very annoying.
Any ideas?
CTR+Shift worked for me.
(Works for Microsoft Office as well)
I believe they consider this to be a feature, and I haven't found a way to turn it off. I think it only happens if you are holding the control key while trying to use the mouse wheel, but I've found it gets locked in that mode sometimes. Personally I think this feature is anoying as &^%% and I wish they would take it out.
Check your Accessibility settings, you might have "locked" it down my accident
Under Windows 7 they are here:
Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease of Access Center
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I have the following behavior in Visual Studio 2005 while designing forms:
1 - Drop a control onto the form (suppose it's a Label, just for discussion)
2 - Drag that label to a specific location (aligning w/other controls, whatever)
3 - Release the mouse button
4 - The control is still stuck to the mouse!!!
To get it un-stuck from the mouse, I have to hit ESC, which restores the Label to it's original location.
This is driving me nuts. I literally have to use the arrow keys to move each control into place, pixel-by-pixel. I don't observe this behavior anywhere else in VS2005, nor do I observe it in the OS in general.
I am running on Windows XP inside a Parallels Virtual Machine, hosted on OS X. I don't think there is a driver problem though, b/c as I already said, no other apps demonstrate anything like this.
Please tell me there is some tiny checkbox buried somewhere that will turn off this behavior.
Sounds like you might have ClickLock enabled (or a similar feature). Try this:
Go to Control Panel in Windows
Open the Mouse control panel
Go to the Activities tab
Deselect ClickLock
If that doesn't work, maybe you have a similar feature in OS X?
This problem spread to other applications within my VM, so I reinstalled Parallels tools and it went away.
