Yes. Fortunately, there is more work to do. If this is something I can fix for this specific customer quickly I'll do it. If not, that's just a shame for this customer, who already bought product knowing this isn't a feature. Trying to fix it for the guy is just a matter of service. My employers won't make any money on it, they will if I work on something else. 1) No and no. You're assuming I wrote all this software myself and you're assuming this would be a reasonable software requirement for this product, which could hardly be less false. Please stop assuming.

That is weird indeed. Maybe something stuck in the addin manager? Maybe a rogue plugin? xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 3 out now

Well, yes, I figured as much, but that brings me back to question one... led mike wrote: t sounds very un-user friendly to me. What part of it exactly? Many of my users open their webbrowsers to surf around for a bit while waiting for the program to finnish its work. They don't want to be bothered by messageboxes and progress bars popping up until they can be bothered to select the application in the tasbar to check on the status. Thanks for the reply.

Just do it. It will save you much headaches in the long run. Don't let the problems accumulate. ROFLOLMFAO

This is exactly right. Thanks! Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

Glad to help you :) #region signature my articles #endregion

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that's not working... Any ideas on how to extract the instance value of TValue? Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

Well no, but since the message does mention the thread's number I figured it should be easy for VS to display the threadname that's linked to it... Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

Thanks for that. Ever since I first stumbled on Marc's article I've found it easier to use EventPools. This article just grew out of my heavy use of EventPool - BTW, it makes implementing the MVC pattern really straight forward. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Thanks for the reply, but the article only provides a panel and a progressbar. Although they're really nice, what I'm looking for is to change the colors in the title bar of my child windows: In Window's classic theme they're set to the colors defined in the selected theme (blue and lightblue by default).

If I could help you then I'm glad to win a coder's heart :-D

:D Ok. That worked. Stupid of me that I didn't try so before... Thanks! Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

I've tried to but that doesn't work. DrawItem and Paint never get called. Hooking up to the drawitem event from the constructor doesn't help either, since the event never seems to fire. I suspect the control gets painted by its parent container... Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

Was surprised to see a reply to a 4 year old question that I didn't remember I asked in my inbox :). Thanks for the answer. Perhaps the problem has been haunting my subconsciousness for 4 years and is finally at peace ;). More likely I found a way around it back then though. Still; others may find your answer very useful, thanks again. Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

Luc Pattyn wrote: When you refer to queues, I trust you intend to put either byte[] or text lines in there, not single chars or bytes. Yep. Thanks again. Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

Thanks, that really sucks. I think I'll do a feature request for that... Standards are great! Everybody should have one!
