Visual Studio Regions equivalent in FlexBuilder - flexbuilder

Is there something like regions in FlexBuilder?

Flex Builder does not have this functionality. I wish it did. There is a feature request for it, but it appears to be dead.

using CANalyzer libraries in Microsoft visual studios

I'm trying to use CAPL/CANalyzer functions in visual studio. I found some information on how to implement it in the CAPL help menu, but when i try I can't seem to get it to work. Is there any online resource on how to do this?
the Vector knowledgebase is online
Think the best way to start is to open CANalyzer Sample Configurations Folder in My Documents and to find a lot of samples for specific aspects.
There is also lot of information on CANalyzer help-pages, for example in:
.NET Programming » Notes for Advanced Users
you can find the reference to which assemblies do you need
If you have a specific problem please provide more information: what you trying to do, what is your expectation and what is going wrong.
I don't think that is possible with CANalyzer. You will need CANoe for this.
Take a look at the feature matrix. On side 6 it says that .net is only available in CANoe. Additionally I think that calls from .net to CAPL are only available for test modules and test units.

Flatten inherited members in Visual Studio's Watch window in C++?

This question is the same as this one, except that I'm debugging a C++ application. For the original question, a C# debugger has this functionality out-of-the-box now. Also, third-party tools for it exist.
Is there a way to achieve the same for C++? I'm currently using Visual Studio 2015.
EDIT 1
The classes in question are subject to change which limits use of Visual Studio's native Debugger Visualizers (natvis) feature. As far as I understand the custom visualizer will have to be modified every time the debugged class is changed, so that's not an option, regretfully.
Not find the third party tool or extension tool for VC++ directly in VS IDE, but I know that we could create custom view for VC++:
Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj620914.aspx
It would be a workaround if you want to custom the debug watch view.
Update:
No other extension tool, but I help you submit a feature request to the product team here:
https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-ide/suggestions/18574198-flatten-inherited-members-in-visual-studio-s-watch
If possible, you could add your comment and vote it.

How do I use Resources manually?

I am using a VC++ 2005 express, which does not have a resource editor. Therefore, I want to know if there's a way to use resources manually? Do I really have to make an .rc files to work with resources? I mean, can't I just import it like how fstream C++ does?
There are several free resource editors available:
XN resource editor
ResEdit
to name but two. For a resource compiler, there is the minimalistic GNU windres.
I would recommend ResHacker or a text editor for building the resources and GoRC for compiling them
Couple of options:
You could download the full Windows SDK, which is free and contains the official C and C++ compilers, as well as the resource compilers.
If you are a university student, you can download a full version of Visual Studio from MSDNAA.
If you are a student where MSDNAA is not available, you can still get the full copy from DreanSpark.
You could purchase the full version of Visual Studio -- I'm assuming this is probably cost prohibitive.
Assuming you go with the Windows SDK route, you write a resource script and pass it to the rc tool.
(Not sure why you're still using 2005 Express though given that 2010 Express is out...)
If you want to do it the hard way, the Windows API provides functions for both reading and writing resources. Have a look at UpdateResource.
A full answer to this question depends on the type of resources you are trying to create. One option for windows and dialog boxes is to ignore resources completely and create what you need with RegisterClassEx, CreateWindow, SetWindowLongPtr and a couple of other functions.
Sometimes this route feels easier than using a resource file if you are creating resizable content.

Force Visual C++ to generate XML comments solely for my files?

having an issue that I can't seem to find a direct answer to. I'm in the late stages of building a game engine with a few friends and at this point, we're looking to streamline the comments to make them more readable and useful for any developers that may wish to join the team. Since we use Visual Studio 2010, the embedded XML commenting seemed like the perfect tool, and it is! The only issue we are having is that the graphics library our engine is based upon seemed to have the same idea, and also uses XML-like commenting schema. Unfortunately, the syntax of whatever tool they used to compile their XML comments is dissimilar to the one used in Visual Studio so when Visual Studio attempts to render their comments to the projects XML output file, all we get is a huge string of errors that really tie up the process and are completely unneeded anyway since we only want documentation for our code. So, in short, is there some compiler parameter or option I can set in Visual Studio/VC++ that will force it to only generate an XML-comments output file for our classes and documentation? Thank you so much.
Forget Visual Studio and use a real documentation generation tool like doxygen. It handles the MS XML based documentation and you can configure it to only search certain files or directories.
EDIT Doxygen has it's own documentation tag format described here but it also handles JavaDoc style comments. XML style comments are described here.

Gauge Control for C++ Application

Can anyone suggest good Gauge controls to use in application using C++.
The Gauges will be used in application monitoring Temperature, Pressure or Flow devices.
Please let me know about any commercial or free libraries that works on pure C++, without any dependency on .Net framework
Thanks,
For wxWidgets there are the (free) wxIndustrial controls. Update 11/2015: last updated in 2007, no downloads but source code still available here
Also you'll find more controls at wxCode.
I suggest you to give a look to National Instrument's Measurement Studio.
I am adding the link: NI-Measurement Studio
The title might be a bit confusing since it says: NI Measurement Studio
for Unmanaged Visual C++ .NET but Measurement Studio 2009 (and previous) also has C++ libraries that do not depend upon the .NET framework. They are MFC controls.
In that same page, you can actually clic the link to try it and decide for yourself.
QWT is an extension to the Qt GUI library. You can use this library to create Dials, Compasses, Knobs, Wheels, Sliders, Thermos etc.
Also check QGauge

Here you go. It is completely free but for commercial use you should probably pay license fee.
