What is the Microsoft equivalent of Adobe Dreamweaver?
ie. Drag and drop visual editor for web pages
Microsoft FrontPage, I believe, would be the closest equivalent of Dreamweaver. It is a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) type editor similar to Dreamweaver.

How do you prevent Visual Basic from setting the default find (Ctrl+F) text to whatever iss selected?
For clarity: In Visual Basic for Applications if you bring up a Find box it automaticaly sets the "Find What:" text to whatever you have selected in the code window. Idealy, if I closed the find box it would reopen with the find text I had last used (like every other program).
Visual Basic for Applications 7.1
Microsoft Excel 365
I've checked all the standard menus, there's not many and I'm not sure where else an option like that could be stored.
While this is technically in the Visual Basic for Applications on an Excel file I've also observed the behavior in the other office applications.
Conclusions, you can't.
After looking further and feed back from others it appears you can't change the behavior of the Find What input box within Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications. However, if you're looking to repeat a search pressing F3 to Find Next while your cursor is in the code window accomplishes much of the same thing.
Thanks JohnM, I think this is as close to an answer as I'm likly to get.
I much prefer using Eclipse to the standard VBA editor that Microsoft provides and was wondering if there was anyway I could set eclipse to be the default?
The answer is no. The VBE is attached and inseparable from Excel. Therefore you cannot replace it with another IDE.
The VBE is customizable (just a little though). Play with it by going into Tools ยป Options
Here's just a quick snapshot of what you can change to make it look more friendly and familiar to your original development tool.
I want to write a Microsoft toolbar that gets a word from Microsoft Office Word and pass it to other application (Text To Speech) that is written personally. I've searched the web but not so many good ideas. First is it possible? (Sounds yes!) And is there anyone who has faced somehow the same problem? I'll appreciate any ideas.
You can use Visual Studio to create a Word 2007 (or 2010) addin with a Ribbon XML file.
MSDN has a walthough.
For 2003 or earlier, you'll need to create an addin that uses the CommandBars object to add a toolbar.
I have a cpp file that uses ibm cp437 and Visual C++ keeps reading it with windows-1252. How do I make Visual C++ use the right code page for the file?
Alright, I figured it out myself. For the curious, here is the answer:
Right click the file in the Solution Explorer.
Select "Open With..."
Choose "C++ Source Code Editor (with encoding)"
A new box appears to specify Encoding. Choose "OEM United States - Codepage 437"
Done.
I also encountered these errors in my environments. I think there's any easier way to change the default code pages.
In windows 10, you could go to "Settings" -> "Region" -> "Administrative" tab -> "Language for non-Unicode programs". Then you could choose the region you want.
In this way, all the codes read from Visual Studio would use the code page whatever you want.
For example, the default setting for me is Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan). The code page is 950. But the codes are using windows-1252, therefore, I change the region to English (United States).
That's it.
Hope the solution could help you.
Thanks.
Unless you need the CP437 encoding, why don't you convert it to CP1252, UTF-8 or MS 'Unicode' (UCS-2)? Any reasonably capable editor should be able to do it.
VS2008 can do it - check out the Advanced Save option on the File menu.
Edit:
If you go to Source Control Explorer, right-click on the file, select 'Properties', you can set the encoding on the 'General' tab page. 'IBM437' is one of the choices.
In resharper 4.5 for VS2008, is there a way to get a solid straight line to be shown between starting brace and ending braces.
You can add that feature to Visual Studio by installing CodeRush Xpress (it's compatible with ReSharper). Free download is here:

That feature is called Structural Highlighting and you can see a screen shot of it on this page.
ReSharper > Options > Editor > Highlight matching delimiters...
In VS2013 this feature is available in the Productivity Power Tools add-in. Once installed it is controled from Tools-Options-Productivity Power Tools-Other Extensions-Structure visualizer options-Show code structure in the editor.
