Thats a bit harsh if there really was food poisoning. There's many a tale of tourists to pakistan/india and the likes having problems with the food. Its happened so much in the past that a lot of players take their own canned food over just so that they won't get sick. Adapting to conditions is one thing, but adapting to playing your best while trying not to throw up is completely different. Imagine one of those days when you're lying in bed instead of sitting in front of your screen, but while your lying there, you're getting balls thrown at you at 100 mph and having to score runs.... Throw in a bit of tear gas (which I'm sure the young NZ team is not used to)....... well, I'm sure you can see where I'm going.... Anyway, I put the blame for the NZ loss squarely on the Pakistani team.... they played too damn well. Here's hoping the Kiwis can get up (at all) for the next game... Paul

Application Menu IterationHi all, I'm looking at trying to write an application to iterate through all the menus in an application. Basically, this would form part of a test suite type of thing that I could build on for my applications. I also thought it would be useful as a kind of demo tool to automate actions and so wanted to make it as generic as possible (ie: just using Win32 commands to analyze the application). I need to be able to iterate through a running application because the menus may be dynamically altered at startup (this happens in our apps), so iterating through the resources of the exe is not good enough. This is all pretty easy for standard apps where the menu is not dockable, but GetMenu(HWND) doesn't appear to work on MS Apps as the menu is off sub windows etc... So far, I've been unable to figure out a way to automatically recognize the menu for these apps. We've tried sending an ALT-F message to the windows in the app to get it to popup the File menu, but that only seems to work in the standard menu apps too. Has anyone done this before?, or have any ideas on how to recognise a window with the main menu? Paul All round software nice guy....

What's going on with book pricesSourced that book in New Zealand this week - $NZ180. So the price you give sounds pretty standard for this side of the world. Ordered it on Fatbrain today at half the price. I guess thats the price to pay for living on the other side of the world (and having clean air to breath)... pdeb Rugbycomp founder (oh, and Software Engineer) http://rugbycomp.orion.co.nz
