WB5: Visual Studio 6 Problem
Friday, October 21, 2005 by MountainDragon | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I've just found what seems to be a problem with the WB beta 5 release (4.90g(
.033) - the dialog editor in Visual Studio 6 is hosed: the "drag border" doesn't show up around the dialog window, thus no ability to size the dialog.
Prior to the beta release there was no problem.
Tried using per-application settings - set to a different theme with no per-pixel stuff, set to title-bar only. The only thing that works is excluding completely.
My WB debug info:

Simple for you perhaps.
Unfortunately, in our work environment it's not always practical to scrap/rewrite/port all the code to keep up with Microsoft's latest semi-compatible upgrades.

| Simple enough to solve.. Just use VS .NET 2003 |

Actually, skip 2003 and use 2005, it's supposed to be an exponential improvement!!
