visual studio 2010 - Can you include a generated file to a WiX project without adding it as an existing file -


we use heat build file our web project installer. want know if there way can have file included in compilation, not included in project.

the reason need not check file in on our source control, have build when build wixproj. otherwise have hijack/checkout file in order reliably build project.

if using msbuild , .wixproj build .msi need output heat listed in compile item in .wixproj. if file not included not compiled final .msi.

fortunately, msbuild provides quite few options dynamically include items. example, have custom target in .wixproj runs heat , adds output 

 <target name='runheat'>      <exec command='heat.exe param param param -o path\to\output.wxs' />      <itemgroup>          <compile include='path\to\output.wxs' />      </itemgroup>  </target>

now if runheat target run before compile target in wix.targets compile item generated in runheat included in compile target. given flexibility of msbuild there dozen other ways accomplish task.

hope helps , luck!

linux - xterm copying to CLIPBOARD using copy-selection causes automatic updating of CLIPBOARD upon mouse selection -

i've tried various ways coerce xterm (versions 285 , 292) copy selection clipboard clipboard whenever press ctrl-shift-c. promising way far has been, in ~/.xresources, put this: xterm*vt100.translations: #override \ ctrl shift <keypress> c: copy-selection(clipboard) \n\ ctrl shift <keypress> v: insert-selection(clipboard) ctrl-shift-v works perfectly, copying has nuance... if restart xterm, highlighting text puts things in primary clipboard; expected, proper, default behavior. if hit ctrl-shift-c, copies current selection clipboard clipboard. the bug, however, if highlight text after first time pressed ctrl-shift-c, you'll see highlighting copies both primary and clipboard. cannot figure out how stop xterm updating clipboard upon selection... , doesn't make sense me in first place. i said, @ specific point in time, copy selection clipboard... yet starts updating automatically upon selection after doing once... anyone have workaround...

c++ - qgraphicsview horizontal scrolling always has a vertical delta -

Image
i've subclassed qgraphicsview custom canvas used in cad application. i've reimplemented qgraphicsview::wheelevent check keyboard modifiers control key and, if control key pressed, zoom. i'm trying implement horizontal scroll when user holds shift , uses wheel. the problem i'm having horizontal scrolling always scrolls 0.279. not huge problem, hugely annoying , points else being wrong. so, here questions: is right way implement horizontal scrolling? if not, is? how eliminate delta of 0.279? thanks in advance. code , sample output below void myview::zoom(int delta) { double factor = pow(1.2, delta/abs(delta)); this->scale(factor, factor); } void myview::scrollhorizontal(int level) { qpointf center = maptoscene(viewport()->rect().center()); qdebug() << "center: " << center.x() << ", " << center.y(); centeron(qpointf(center.x() - level, center.y())); } void myview::wheelevent(qwheeleve...
