I am working on the Visual Studio using MFC. I want to make a table having rows and columns. Rows with four entries and columns entries have no limits. Which toolbox I should use in order to proceed in this task. I tried listbox, combo box, mfc vslist but these are not fulfilling my requirements. Kindly guide me which tool box I should use for this purpose. I get some kind of info from that link http://www.functionx.com/visualc/controls/listbox.htm but this is not required.
According to your description, you can use the standard List Control (CListCtrl) in report mode or, if more advanced features are needed, a full-blown grid control. In codeproject you can find these two, which are quite widely used:
MFC Grid control
The Ultimate Grid
I don't know if they work well with VS 2010, but the first one, according to the link provided, it does. The Ultimate Grid says it works up to VS2005, but I'm using it with VS2008. I don't remember if I had to change anything in order to make it work, though.
Anyway, I would first give the standard CListCtrl a try, and if you find you need more, try any of the others.

In compare option inside the source control, the scrolling is bind together for both files.
I want to scroll just one of the sides while the other stay pinned also I want to avoid comparing outside on the VS.
I can't find any solution online and there is no obvious option in the VS.
I'm Using VS2015 with TFS.
Thank you.
EDIT
New feature request for microsoft was opened

In VS1029 Version 16.11.3 feature exist, by pressing it you can unbind the windows

For this , I am afraid this is by designed. The same is true for my test in visual studio2019.
You could add your request for this feature on our UserVoice site , which is our main forum for product suggestions. After suggest raised, you can vote and add your comments for this feedback. The product team would provide the updates if they view it.
There must be a way to do this, because switching between different themes changes the colour of the borders in the results grid. But I want to customise it for one of themes I'm currently using. (Which I know is possible based on this question.)
The only reference I can find in Microsoft's documentation is this page for Visual Studio Code:
https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color
...but seeing as the results grid is an Azure Data Studio feature, there's nothing in there talking about it.
Anyone have any thoughts??
I have Lightswitch 2013 and need to have nested autocomplete boxes. All the examples on the Internet are for older versions of Lightswitch and there are just a few differences in their examples from my version. Example: When adding Data Item for Local Property, Type "someTable" (Entity) doesn't come up as a choice. Also, if I click on one of my tables, then when I drag this Local Property to the screen is doesn't create an autocomplete box. Seems simple, but frustrating when I've tried many different ways. Please provide specific example using Lightswitch 2013. Thanks in advance. Steve
The steps are:
(1) Create a table called Customers(Id, Name) and a table called Orders(Id, CustomerId, Description) Create a foreign key relationship between Customers.Id and Orders.CustomerId.
(2) Update your LightSwitch 2013 Data Source
(3) Create an Add/Edit screen using the Orders table.
(4) By Default, all the fields (Id, Customer, Description) should be included. The Customer field should default to 'Details Picker' (The Choices will be 'Auto' and will lookup Customers in the Customers table)
Note: The Details Picker will AutoComplete after you type a minimum of three characters.
Thanks for the answer. I figured it out myself. I played around with displaying fields on my screens to see what was actually happening until I finally found out that I can add a specific data binding? to my properties and didn't have to use the drop down choices. I've got it working now.
This seems like a basic requirement for using Lightswitch. I wish someone would be able to post a detailed step by step solution to properly using nested autocomplete boxes. I'm not sure I would remember how to do nexted autocomplete boxes if I had to do this again in a year.
When an expert, like a Beth Massi, provides a detailed example for a specific version of Visual Studio or Lightswitch, it would be nice if that expert, or his/her replacement, would provide a new detailed example whenever Visual Studio or Lightswitch has a new version. Thanks for all the help I have received by searching the Internet.
As you know, in Windows Phone SDK there are several styles that you can apply to textblocks.
For reference: MSDN
Since you can't always remember the full name of the style, is there an easy way to apply them? Do I really have to go to that link everytime I need to apply a new style?
IntelliSense is not helpful enough? I usually, write StaticResource text and then the list gets filtered with all the styles containing the "text" string. Kind of depends according to your needs. If you want to apply for font style, write "font" and see the list of suggestions.
Now, I'm not sure if my IntelliSense is as yours or is already enhanced by Resharper. If you haven't heard of it, take a look at it. You gotta hit CTRL+SPACE if the suggestion list isn't there, and it will get filled with possible matches. It's a nice productivity tool that does MUCH more and actually is not free but, I guess you could also get it crac... ahem :)
Other than this, I guess a quick bookmark to that web address, does that job pretty well. :)
The easiest way is to ensure you have the visual designer open while creating the view. You can right click on your TextBlock select Edit Style -> Apply Resource ->. From here you will see a long list of available styles to pick from.
I just found out that what I was looking for will be implemented in Visual Studio 2013!

Can someone point me to an article or tutorial on using custom controls in Visual Studio Lightswitch? I'm trying to add a rich text box to a page, linked to a string property. When running the app, sometimes the field will show up, sometimes it won't. If it does show the width of the field is small, about 2 characters, but will expand when text is pasted inside. Saving doesn't work, though.
I'm not even sure about whether or not I'm allowed to use controls like these in a Lightswitch app, even though custom controls are obviously supported. Are the custom controls restricted to a certain type or set?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Have a look at the following example, http://lightswitchhelpwebsite.com/Blog/tabid/61/EntryId/10/LightSwitch-Student-Information-System-Part-3-Custom-Controls.aspx
Also the Training Kit has examples of Custome Controls included.
There is also this tutorial:
