Hello This is my first post on The Code Project. I joined yesterday. I am a friend of Nish. I am basically a VB/ASP programmer. I've seen Nish spending half his day on The Code Project. I always wanted to join, but was a little hesitant because I understand this is primarily a site for C++ and MFC. But Nish said that won't be a problem at all. So here I am. I hope Nish won't tease me. Smitha

Only until you have to find all those objects (placed in all the various forms, hidden outside the visible form area or in the tab control inside a yet another tab cotrol and other interesting places...) and change one of the property on each one.

Nish [BusterBoy] wrote: I am glad to know you are a warm loving dad. I would be if I'd ever had the chance... Alas, only psychotic women are attracted (sigh...). So I adopt, unofficially, other kids. This particular one I've known since she was one year old, and she is absolutely set upon marrying me when she's older. I've explained to her that as she grows up, her taste in men will improve:laugh: But I still love spending time with her whenever I can - her 'real' dad wants nothing to do with her (how sad!), but I'm happy to know that her new stepdad is turning out to be a great father! It couldn't hurt for her to have me around for a spare, though...

Roger Wright wrote: One of my favorite passtimes is rather "girlie" - beading Have you tried out glass painting ??? If not, try it out. All you need is a pattern[which you can download from the net and print out], a piece of glass of reqd size and paints of reqd colors. The paints are available in ready to use bottles, all you have to do is squeeze the bottle n spread the paint on the glass surface. With very little effort, you can make wonderful gifts for your friends... Smitha
I've never tried it, but it sounds a bit like the stained glass my ex-wife used to play with. I have little artistic talent, though, and find that crafts related to the woodsman arts are more suited to me. I used to participate in a hobby called Buckskinning here - the historical re-enactment of the 1780- 1820 fur trade era in America - and learned to make everything a trapper/trader could need from raw materials. Though I can no longer afford the cost or time for it, I still dabble. One part I like, relating to my lack of artistry, is the Indian (Amerind, that is) tradition that it is an insult to World Maker for a mortal to make a perfect thing - only He is perfect. The Cree have a tradition that one should always include an error in whatever one constructs so as to avoid annoying Him. Errors of this sort come naturally to me. Micro$oft is known to practice this belief, as well...

****Christian Graus wrote: Welcome, anyhow. Are you going to be like Nish, or do you plan on having a life apart from CP ? The answer is a big "NO!!". If I start doing the same , our management will kick us out. Besides, I am also busy with other stuff like making coffee for Nish, feeding him lunch, supplying him paper hankies whenever he shouts for them, making his tea, cleaning his table whenever he spills the tea over...the list never ends. In short, he never takes effort to do a thing on his own other than coding and CP'ing !!!
For some reason, I have no trouble believing this:laugh: Why do you put up with him?

Nish [BusterBoy] wrote: admitted his love for VB It's not quite that intimate, Nish, more a fondness than a 'love' relationship. When I was growing up, the trend in programming was to make languages more maintainable by making them more easily understood. C++ set this trend back by at least twenty years with its ridiculous syntax and utterly meaningless notation. Pascal was at the top of this food chain of maintainable, understandable code, but failed to make the leap into the OOP arena and died. VB still isn't fully OO yet, but at least a normal human being stands a chance of interpreting it correctly without an advanced degree in the subject. And the IDE is actually visual - there's nothing 'visual' about Visual C++.

Nish [BusterBoy] wrote: Because I am her best friend Roger. That's a good reason, Nish. In this country, though, even the appearance of asking a woman to do such chores can get you sued. Very risky business here... It sounds as if the office is a pleasant place to work... I wonder what that would be like?
