Develop VSPackage (VSX) using VC++ ? Need reference materials and links - vsx

I have a requirement where I need to extend or customize the Visual Studio using Visual Studio SDK using C++ or VC++. I have fallen out of luck and have found all the book, blogs and msdn customizing Visual Studio using C#. Need help to share me links and books on customization of VS using C++.
Regards
John.
Help appreciated !!!

Visual Studio 2005 SDK comes with few samples (FigPkg, BscPrj, MyCPrj) demonstrating extending VS using native C++. It's a good way to start.
Newer versions of SDK don't contain this samples. But VSx COM API has not changed too much. Learning internals of different non-C++ projects (MPF, MPF For Projects, VisualD) can also help you better understand how VS-extensions work.

"Initialize interactive with Project" is missing for .Net Core Projects in Visual Studio 2019

In VS 2019 the option to initialize projects on the C# Interactive console is missing when targeting .NET Core.
The option is also missing in VS 2017 and there is a related question for VS 2017. However the answer to this question mainly confirms that issue but is not offering a solution.
Does anyone knows if there is a technical limitation and therefore this feature is simply not feasible for .NET Core? Anyone having a good workaround to still initialize the project (with the complete context) manually?

I'm afraid the answer is negative.
So far this option only supports for .net framework, and not for .net core project and .net standard project temporarily.
To get this option available for .net core projects in VS it needs support from both Project-system and Roslyn. For now the Project'system work is done, you can track this issue to follow the progress of the rest work in Roslyn.
Anyone having a good workaround to still initialize the project (with
the complete context) manually?
Go View=>Other Windows=>C# Interactive to get the window,and use #r command(#r "Path/MyDll.dll") to load the assembly manually.For complete context,you also need to manually load all the referenced assemblies.
Actually not a good workaround, it seems there has a way to go before the product team complete the feature, sorry for the inconvenience :-(

Development of Qt app using MSVC source code

Is there anyway that we an use visual studios source code into Qt source code? to develop a application on image processing.
i had a program on visual studio but i don't understand how to use that code in Qt 5.
can anyone please tell me how can we use it
Thank you in advance
actually, it depends how is your project.
if you previous project is C++ and design good. UI just a present layer, it should not be heavy work.
but if your image processing logic are strong related to MFC, you might spend lots of time on your migration.

how to get teechart activex on Qt

I am currently working on a project where TeeChart Pro ActiveX 2012 is used with Visual C++ and MFC.Now i want to move my project to cross platform language Qt.I have searched a lot on Qt forums but didn't get a proper sample code to display Teechart in Qt.I shall be highly thankful if someone could give me a sample code or proper workaround to solve my problem.
I'm sorry but we don't have any QT example. You can use ActiveX controls in QT but only Windows, not for X-platform applications. This might be your problem. Have you managed to use other ActiveX controls? All TeeChart options in QT were discussed here.

Getting started with Kinect + OpenNI + Qt on Windows 7

I would like to write a simple application using Kinect, OpenNI and Qt on Windows 7.
I have installed OpenNI, NITE, the SensorKinect driver, Qt Creator and Visual Studio 2010. Now, is there a tutorial, guide, or a simple base application where I could start from?
Since I'm not sure if you want to use C++, C# or VB, I'll try to give the places that helped me get started. I use C#.
To know the concepts and how it works, I suggest reading this: http://openni.org/Documentation/ProgrammerGuide.html
For an easier start, you could use Nui.Vision from Vangos Pterneas, read this tutorial: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/169161/Kinect-and-WPF-Complete-body-tracking.aspx
There are some WinForms samples for .NET, check the tutorials on OpenNI.org (the C# .NET ones).
Personally I would use the Microsoft Drivers at http://kinectforwindows.org
There are several video tutorials that are very good that go along with these binaries found here:
http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/kinect/
This is where I would start for beginners:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/resources/
This being said, you can't use OpenNI and Kinect For Windows. Only one or the other.

Guidance required for code generation tool

I am interested to write a GUI based tool which would generate code in return. Something similar to VB GUI interface or Xcode's Interface Builder. I am going to use QT tookkit which is cross platform.
Can you help me to point out some resources which could be helpful to make such tools?
Thanks
Qt creator comes with an integrated UI Designer. The designer can be used stand alone or integrated into Visual Studio as well.
