I have .Net Framework 2.x ddls that I call from UWP during development that pull in any "whole system files" used by the app (versus any content / resources). Those few statements tying it in / excluding it are handled with compiler directives (development versus final distribution).

I need verification code on WhatsApp

Yup, also different URL; "view=netframework-4.8&viewFallbackFrom=net-5.0" I hadn't noticed :D I'm going shopping for new eyeballs then :cool: Bastard Programmer from Hell :suss: "If you just follow the bacon Eddy, wherever it leads you, then you won't have to think about politics." -- Some Bell.

you can keep things in your app running, whether or not your app is the current active application, by using a Timer, or having a some form of 'while loop. advice : don't use a 'while loop. 2) when your app is not active ... it can still get messages by using a GlobalKeyBoardHook it defines, and registers, that intercepts some keyboard combination of keys. warning: you override some other app's keyboard hooks, and you are in trouble. I believe what you probably need to use is the SystemTray app model, and CP has several articles that will show you how to use that: [^] However, if what you want is some kind of stealth monitoring app: you won't get help with that here. «The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled» Plutarch

Hi, I don't remember what the state/quirks of WinForms was in 2012, when you wrote that tip, but, it is possible to toggle the visibility of the ControlBox at run-time by setting its boolean value. Of course, yes, hide the ControlBox, and the max/min buttons and the icon/menu, vanish. However, I'd find it quite strange to have those control widgets disappearing, reappearing :) «The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled» Plutarch

Thanks. It is working now. I first created an image column. DataGridViewImageColumn iconColumn = new DataGridViewImageColumn(); iconColumn.HeaderText = "Pass/Fail"; iconColumn.Width = 60; iconColumn.HeaderCell.Style.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter; iconColumn.DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter; iconColumn.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable; CalGrid.Columns.Insert(2, iconColumn); I then used the CellFormatting event to set the correct image. private void CalGrid_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e) { if (CalGrid[3,e.RowIndex].Value.ToString() == "PASS") { e.Value = imageList1.Images[0]; } else { e.Value = imageList1.Images[1]; } }

Whatever works is the right method. There's no "not". Unless all one does is repost code they dug up from elsewhere and hasn't the foggiest idea what they're doing THAT for. :thumbsdown:

Has this at the end worked? I think not, except adapting ported forms with implementing special logic manually.

This reminds me of one of my college professors. He had a proof about how every integer is interesting. Something like: "0 is interesting. Add it to any number, you get that number. Multiply by it, you get 0." "1 is interesting because..." "2 is interesting because...." "The first number you find that's not interesting -- well, not being interesting would make it very interesting!"

Thank you Gerry. Creating a new file, temporary, is not directly an issue, it is not a goal on itself. What I want to do is, when one audio file is playing using the output, I would like to pre-listen to another one for instance in the headphones, just like DJ's do. I wonder if I should give NAudio a try.

Not really a good idea. If someone prints on a different shade of paper. Or even viewing on the screen and the user has changed their colour settings. Use the formula that you created for the conditional formatting and put it into your select statement. // TODO: Insert something here Top ten reasons why I'm lazy 1.

Your WinForms code would be better written as: int count = 0; foreach (Label l in this.Controls.OfType<Label>()) { if (l.BackColor == Color.Red) { count++; } } Or simply: int count = this.Controls.OfType<Label>().Count(l => l.BackColor == Color.Red); Xamarin forms doesn't have a similar concept. You might be able to do something similar by walking the visual tree - eg: the urban canuk, eh: VisualTreeHelper for Xamarin.Forms[^] However, it would almost certainly be better to use MVVM concepts to achieve your goal.

You're confusing "logical" printing and "physical" printing. There is no evidence that the "thermal printer" understands what you're sending it. (thermal printers can have their own "language") You start by sending "one line" / chaeacter to the printer. When that works, you'll have some confidence you're on the right track; otherwise, you're just grasping.
