Yeah I wondered about the concept of copytrighting a UI. When I first started Windows development my boss would answer questions on how I should do the UI by saying just follow the styles in MS Word. At the time I thought I was following conventions, File menu on the left, Help menu on the right etc. These conventions are a part of increasing usability for users, the "don't make me think" style. With alot of people using Office making Windows applications that follow the conventions established in Office in you own applications helped people learn how to use your application.

:laugh: Gotta love the "I have my opinion you have yours" ending.

It has been said from the beginning that WPF, WCF, WF, and the like will only be packported to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

I'm pretty sure the redistributable doesn't care either way. I seem to remember the way that we found out about this requirement (a year or two ago) is by installing our app on a fresh test machine that didn't have MDAC 2.6 :) The SDK installer may care, however.

It's only possible if someone changed the definition of "primary" without notifying me. :) Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

Regarding WinFS... What the Windows File System lacks is: - general interface to file properties (such as compound files, but open up for other types as well) - A Search that uses them (shucks, a search that WORKS out of the box would be great!) - Link tracking - Encapsulated files The first three "sound like" a database, but I still think it's overkill. we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is Vonnegut jr. sighist || Agile Programming | doxygen

Thanks for the response. That's a little disappointing. I'm used to being able to edit the source code whenever I please, no matter the state of the app. Oh well, such is life, I guess. Charlie Here I am. Love me.

Thank you for the response. It turned out that by making the panel visible, but not giving focus to any of the controls on it, that the original control still had the focus and as such, no LostFocus event would fire :-O Your reinforcement that I was handling the correct event allowed me to stop looking araound aimlessly and figure out what the problem was. Thank you. Charlie Here I am. Love me.
