Early last month I received an email about taking a beta course from Learning Tree. I submitted my application, but I deleted the email because I figured they'd never select me. They called me this morning to confirm a spot! The only thing is I'll be 37 weeks pregnant, so I'm hoping a co-worker can take my place, just in case. Cool, huh? Providing input to a class... Lilian

Holy Moly! Congratulations. I hope her pregnancy is a smooth one ;)

I'm seeing the last days of 29 myself. The only thing that is keeping me from going completely insane about it is the fact that I'm pregnant. We'll get through it somehow, as long as our co-workers don't find out. I have enough call signs as it is.

Geez, how cool is that? Other than money falling out of the sky... We women do tell each other a lot, but I don't divulge info that could hurt someone's feelings unnecessarily. At least, I try not to. Kids are scary!

Yeah, a colleague had to modify my code and he commented on how nice and easy to understand it was. That really made my day. Another colleague told me I was the only cool girl on the project, and that it'd suck if I didn't come back after I have my baby. Although I should have been "offended", I was flattered.

After I retrieve the transformed CComBSTR that is produced with XML and xsl, I wrote code to parse through the wstring to replace the CRLF with a \n. I guess Excel didn't like what xsl did to it. Lilian

Our app transforms xml data with xsl into html. I use   (space, carriage return, line feed) to separate data on different lines that eventually is displayed on an excel spreadsheet. After each line is a square that is undesirable. Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of this square or how to display a line feed without it? Thanks, Lilian

Thanks, I knew this was something beyond my control/comprehension!

The method name is OnKillFocusBurstLengthEdit, EN_SETFOCUS.

I hope I can explain this without too much confusion. Let's say you have an edit box in a wizard. You enter data outside the valid range. If you click Enter instead of Tab, you get an error message. If you click on Enter to dismiss the error, it acts like an Enter and goes onto the Next screen. The original code looked like this: // Check the validity of the value l_lVal = atof((_bstr_t)InBurstLengthStr); if((l_lVal > m_dMaxBurstLength) || (l_lVal < m_dMinBurstLength)) { // If the entered value is out of range then throw an error ::MessageBox(m_hWnd, L"The Burst Length Entered is not Within the Specified Range!", L"Data Entry Error",MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION); BurstLengthEdit.SetFocus(); return 0; } I changed it so that I got the click. I checked if the click was IDOK, called the setfocus, but that didn't help. I saw where someone else made the enter key act like a tab key if they were in an edit field with a hook. I couldn't get that to work. It just wanted to act like a Next, which was weird because it didn't appear to be the default button. Please HELP me if you can! Thanks, Lilian

Good guess on my nationality, David. Telling me not to plan is like telling me not to breathe. Well, Mike, I think that is the first time I've ever heard that being pregnant was favorable in the workplace. Never thought of that double standard. Thanks for the input, y'all. I figured this site will help me stay informed of the newest "new thing".

I just wanted some opinions from people in my field. I will hopefully be giving birth in April of next year. The grand plan is to have two children within 4 years and return to the workforce sometime in 2007. I know this is a long time in SW years, but do you think it's realistic to be welcomed back? I JUST got into somewhat current stuff (my first 4 yrs was spent on Ada on a Unix system, and I now do Visual C++ on 2000 with COM). Any input appreciated, Lilian

I guess it's a different situation for me. Where I live and work, the majority of the citizens are engineers. I would think Silicone Valley, Seattle, and the DC area are more heterogeneous. I can count the amount of single women on one hand. Sorry, Norm...

Call us trailblazers. Good Lord, how long did that take? Our technical lead is female. Half the development staff on my project is female. Actually, where I work is pretty mixed. We're balanced genderwise and have good minority representation.

Every time I logon, I never see female names associated with posts? Do you fellas just alienate females? Lilian ;P

Is VB really this bad? Every time I look in the papers, I see people who want VB experience. I've only been doing VC++ for over a year, and I do enjoy it. I was thinking about trying to learn VB, too. :confused:

Just in case anyone runs into this problem, here's the solution: use the tag disable-output-escaping="yes" in your value of.

Is there a way to make a heterogeneous XML/HTML file print like you'd wish it would? The following is XML, but our db person placed some HTML data in our data. It just prints like the html tags. I was hoping someone knew a fancy xsl thing. I just wish she had made it a separate note. XML: - U Undesignated Left/right. - U Undesignated REQUIREMENTS

Software

Option 1

Option 2

XSL Stylesheet uses default output method. Thanks, Lilian

This thread makes me wonder what you all think of defense contractors. When I first interviewed with my company, the interviewer asked me if I would be okay with working on a project that provided mission planning for a missile. I never gave it a thought because I just wanted the job. To think that something I've worked on has aided my country makes me feel patriotic, but the fact that it can destroy innocent lives leaves me with some guilt, too.:confused:

I'm in southern MD (Patuxent River) working for a defense contractor. We know we're good as long as we stay here, but we aren't interested in doing that.
