Wrote a cool little tool that saved me ALOT of work

[Harvey Saayman]

I'm busy working on an IM client for MXit[^] in my spare time. Now when receiving responses from the server I interpret them and shove the values into the respective classes which are then passed to the front end via an event. There are classes and events for each type of response and I must say its working rather nicely, but its so damn tedious the write these simple classes which are basically just a constructor with get and set blocks. So I quickly threw together an app to do it for me that lets me copy and paste the class into my code :cool: Screen Shot[^] Simple yet effective :)

Pretty much, in fact, like a code snippet you could do in VS.

Or you could have just used the code snippets 'class', 'ctor' and 'prop'. That way you only type in the identifier names, just like you do in your custom app. Same time & effort I reckon. I doubt you saved anything at all.

Or you could use auto implemented properties and object initializers.. saved me a lot of typing recently. Declare your class as: public class Test { public int A { get; set; } public string B { get; set; } } And then initialize your object as: Test t = new Test() { A = 1, B = "test" }; Reference

i wrote one yesterday that takes one argument on the command line, finds the first top-level window where the window class matches the argument and Posts WM_CLOSE to that window. why? sometimes i accidentally leave Eudora running at home during the day, and it sits there, pulling email messages of EarthLink's server. that means i can't check my mail via Earthlink's webmail - it gets pulled off the server by Eudora at home before I ever see it on webmail. so, i wrote a Eudora filter to look for a specific subject line and body text. if it sees that message, it calls my little app (called "Killa") with "EudoraMainWindow" as the parameter. voila! Eudora kills itself and i can use webmail again. would've been much easier if Eudora had a "close Eudora" filter action....

Here's something similar I have, that was written by a former co-worker:

C:\JBUTIL>type killwin.c

#include #include void
main
(
void
)
{
HWND hTemp ;
HWND hok ;

while ( 1 )
{
    if ( ( hTemp = FindWindow ( NULL , "Messenger Service " ) ) != NULL )
    {
        SetActiveWindow ( hTemp ) ;
        hok = FindWindowEx ( hTemp , NULL , NULL , "OK" ) ;

        SendMessage ( hok , WM\_LBUTTONDOWN , 0 , 0 ) ;
        SendMessage ( hok , WM\_LBUTTONUP   , 0 , 0 ) ;

        printf ( "." ) ;
    }
    else
    {
        Sleep ( 100 ) ;
    }
}

}

Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.

Or if Windows had something like taskkill.exe[^]... ;P

[Chris Losinger]

oh well. it was quicker for me to write that app than it would've been to find taskkill.
