When I use gdb tui for debugging. I can use layout split to display the source code window and assembly window at the same time. But I also want to see the value of the register. If I use layout regs to display the register window, it will replace the source code window with the register window. Can I display source code, assembly code, and register windows at the same time?
When tui is displayed, I want to use the commands I used before. When I use the up and down arrow keys, the code window moves up and down. Is there any way to prevent me from re-entering the previously used commands?

Is it possible while debugging, and a breakpoint has been hit, to autocomplete variables in the current scope in the Debug Console or the Watch Window?
An example gif is attached of where I would hope to get some auto-completion suggestions.
Essentially, on typing just long, I would like to autocomplete to work here so that it suggests longish_variable_name that I can then possibly tab complete.
VSCode has, by default, CtrlSpace mapped to triggering autocompletion suggestions, but this only seems to work in the editor window.
Use the variable once in the debug window, and auto-complete will do the rest of the work for you ever after (given the variable name shouldn't be changed, or you need to use it in the debugger console again to get auto-completion suggestion.)
I have a test variable named very_very_long_var — but the debug window didn't suggest anything on the first go. It was presented once I used it the first time in that window.
I have been working on an app in Visual Studio 2015 (C++). It's a kiosk app for my school's tech support. Basically, it's a support site that will run in a kiosk. I need to figure out how to lock windows so it only runs that program. It would also be helpful to run the program in fullscreen mode. Keep in mind that all of the kiosks run Windows 7.
Set registry key
HKCU SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell="c:\path\to\whatever.exe"
Disallow task manager via security of taskmgr.exe (add a deny read + deny execute to the binary)
Set autologn:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
DefaultUserName = whatever
DefaultPassword = whatever
Have a boot disk handy. The only way to reverse this is to boot the boot disk and undo one of the steps after mounting the appropriate hive.
you can create your program with main window in full screen mode and popup:
hWnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE|WS_EX_APPWINDOW|WS_EX_TOPMOST,
lpClsName,
"MDI Project under Visual C++ WINAPI",
WS_BORDER|WS_POPUP,
...);// add the remaining parameters
and find taskmgr.exe and hide it and start menu button and hide them also:
hTaskBar = ::FindWindow ("Shell_TrayWnd", "");
hStart = ::FindWindowEx(GetDesktopWindow(), NULL, "Button", "Start");
ShowWindow(hTaskBar, SW_HIDE);
ShowWindow(hStart, SW_HIDE);
so your program looks like easycafe or handycafe
I actually switched from C++ to C#, so I'm gonna explain my answer with C#.
I used a keyboard hook library to capture keyboard input and block all non-letter/number input so alt-f4, alt-tab etc. would not work. I then determined a closing sequence of characters using another keyboard hook (LWin+C+Home+F12+PrtSc).
As for Ctrl-Alt-Del, that cannot be disabled (as far as I know) because it is a system function, so I just left that as it is.
I also got the bounds of the screen and set the size of the window to the maximum screen size at application launch, as well as whenever the app is resized or moved. This essentially makes it so the app covers the task bar, and the bar with the close and minimize buttons is also covered, but if someone found a way to move it it would immediately go back to it's full size.
I also set up autologin as was detailed in a previous answer, but I just didn't do it through code.
Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut to switch between the monitor and portion selection of this wacom preferences window, via a c++ console program?
Sorry if this is poorly worded, I've had trouble trying to find the right words to search for ways to do it.
I think it should be possible, although a bit tedious. You should be able to use the Windows API, and try to EnumWindows/EnumDesktopWindows to identify the respective application Window, and its respective controls (which are also Windows).
You should identify the window title, and class ids, for the app window, and the checkbox button controls, then when you enumerate through all the desktop windows, you can identify the ones you are interested in.
Then you can use the SendMessage() API to send messages to the controls (Windows) of interest to manipulate them.
It's a bit tedious, but sounds possible.
An example of use here to get an idea:

Is it possible to add custom controls to a console window? You can use GetConsoleWindow() to get the window's handle, and then add your own menu items or consume all its events. I can't find any examples of people adding extra controls though.
I am developing a small, high performance serial terminal app. It is a console application - RichTextBox is too slow and has issues that make it unsuitable for VT100 terminal emulation.
I want to add some little graphics to show the state of the serial control lines (RTS/CTS/DTR/RI etc.) and perhaps a capture on/off toggle button. Ideally I'd like to add them to the window title bar. Bitmaps are all that are required.
After lots of research I found that it isn't easy, or even possible really.
You can add controls to the window with CreateWindow(), but of course only in the client area which is taken up entirely by the console text box. However, you can at least create floating controls that way, which hover over the text to provide status info etc.
You can put controls in the window borders but only with some hacking on XP or a new API that was introduced with Vista. The problem with this API is that it requires you to draw your own program icon and title text, and the console window doesn't seem to cope with it very well.
You can't add your own menu items because the console window doesn't pass the messages.
In the end I used the function keys for everything and gave a status indication by changing the console window icon.
Is this possible? When I'm debugging a program I can't bring the window up to see any changes. It's minimized during the debugging while I step through the program and I'd like to see the program changes while I step.
The only way I might see it is in Windows 7 you can hover over the task-bar to get a look at the program but the preview image gets in the way and It's just a weird way to see my program.
I've been trying to search for this problem but all I get is irrelevant results. Maybe I'm missing a few keywords or something. I don't know what to call my problem.
Two choices:
Don't maximize the IDE window and make it smaller until you can see the program window.
Have two monitors and put the program window on the secondary monitor.
