Unfortunately CodeProject appears to be in rhe process of shutting down. All the staff who used to fix things and answer queries in this forum have left. Those of us who have been members for years are only able to guess what is hapening, as there has been no official word on the abandonment by the owners.

I know what you mean; it's certainly not a handholding language. I don't profess to know any where near enough about template metaprogramming to be able to coerce it do do some of the things I might like. Definitely a language for grown up programming.

Normally, I am very gifted at designing by the seat of my pants (while coding). For example my graphics library lasted years without a significant breaking change, especially to the design. I added a ton of features in that time. It's a combination of almost 4 decades of coding + some latent ability. But maybe that's why I get frustrated with myself when I miss the mark.

I'm part of a project that is replacing an oracle forms app with a web-based solution (javascript using React). We have the "keyboard-centric" UI requirement that you described. We have some interesting auto-completes - In a date field, if the user types an integer from 1-last day of month, and hits Tab, the date is automatically completed to include the current month and year. - On floating point numeric fields, if the user types a period on an empty field, a "0" is automatically pre-pended - We have LOV (list of values) field that allows the user to press F9 to get the list displayed where he can then select one of the values and press return. If he types a value that isn't in the list, and presses Tab, the list of values is displayed with the nearest matching value pre-selected. Curiously, we don't have hot-keys for button presses. I brought it up, citing the keep-them-on-the-keyboard paradigm, but was unceremoniously shot down. I don't make UI suggestions any more.

I couldn't find the option to actually disable it in my bios settings. And yeah, I tried advanced mode. It lets me reorder them, and even SMART scan them, but disabling is apparently a league too far.

I would disable the tab and display an informational icon with a tooltip that explains why the option isn't available, and hide the icon when the tab is enabled.  #DontLeaveYourUsersGuessing :) /ravi My new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

I imagine it being like the rules editor in Outlook, if you're familiar with that one. You're able to manipulate events, actions and conditions in a generic way to build complete rules that determine what Outlook does with your mail. A while back, I was studying AI, and stumbled across Baysian Theory - Google Search[^]. From what I understand, Bayesian Theory is the primary means by which spam email is identified and filtered out from legit email. I know that both Google's Gmail and Microsoft's Outlook use Bayesian Theory. Based on what emails I see in my inbox versus the spam folder, I'm convinced that it works very well. You can use both rules, and Bayesian Theory together to get the best results. Richard Andrew x64 wrote: I've been thinking a lot about design, and I must conclude that this will be fairly challenging for me. It's the most complex UI that I've had to build to this point. My knowledge of Baseyain Theory is quite limited, but I get the feeling that implementing it into your system will be more complex than designing the complex UI that you're speaking of. I wish you the best of luck in this challenge. Keep me posted on how things go, as this subject matter is of interest to me as well. :thumbsup:

Nah. To make it any good it needs access to the type information the compiler has built up. It can be a separate pass like C++ does to make it work, but it needs to be integrated into the compiler to do things like typed arguments and specialization.

well $hit. I certainly respect the right for Chris to do his business, I just hope he took care of his cohorts. If he has sold, new company please email me. I'd be interested in helping.
