Well I think most of the other members already said why is was formed, but I would like to add the following. Please go and have a look at some of the articles drafted by Sacha Barber[^], which makes use of xaml (wpf, silverlight, metro), then I would like you to ask yourself one simple question; how easy / difficult / impossible would that have been in WinForms... Kind regards,

Ahhh.... must better! :jig: Many thanks for the information!

Hi all, Okay, so I might be a total n00b with the Code Project bookmarks, but isn't there some functionality that allows you to search or even export the bookmarks? It's just because, I have over eleven pages of bookmarks and going through them one by one is a very tedious process! Am I missing something? Thanks

LMAO!!! :laugh: :laugh:

Great!! :jig: Grab the snowboard and hit some fresh powder!!

Hi, Okay, I read your question a couple of times, and I have no idea what you just said / asked? :confused::confused: Could you please try and be more specific about the problem? Kind regards,

Hmm.... What type of OS are you using? You can always check in your program files. If Outlook was installed in the 'Program Files (x86)', when it should be 32-bit otherwise it's a 64-bit installation?

Busted ... :jig:

Hi, Have a look at the following key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook] -> Bitness=x86 Kind regards,

Thanks, My bad ... :)

Life in the Australian Army... Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (For Those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland ) Dear Mum & Dad, I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the station - tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody horses to get in, no calves to feed, no troughs to clean - nothin'!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing! At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or goanna stew like wot Mum makes. You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march' - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the bullock paddock!! This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody dingo's arse and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of piss!! You don't even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload! Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster. Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer. I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is. Your loving daughter, Mary.

Thanks again Luc. P.s the demo application link does not work. Kind regards,

Hi Karsten, Could you please elaborate on your answer? Many thanks. Kind regards,

Hi Luc, After some testing, I found myself back at square one, reason being that the example does not illustrate what happens within the c++ section of the code. The author makes use of standard windows methods and I have no idea what they are doing in the method. More specifically, the EnumWindows method. I must create my own method so that I can receive the X and Y coordinates (and that is what the CALLBACK is for ... i guess), thus what parameters must I send to the c++ method? I apologize for my ignorance but I'm in the dark here :doh: :confused: C++ SectionBOOL EnumWindows( WNDENUMPROC lpEnumFunc, LPARAM lParam ); BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProc( HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam ); BOOL IsWindowVisible( HWND hWnd );
C# Sectionclass DelegateExample { private List<IntPtr> windowList; public List<IntPtr> GetVisibleWindowHandles() { windowList=new List<IntPtr>(); EnumWindows(new EnumWindowsProc(CollectVisibleWindows), IntPtr.Zero); Console.WriteLine("There are {0} visible windows", windowList.Count); return windowList; } private bool CollectVisibleWindows(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr lParam) { if(IsWindowVisible(hWnd)) windowList.Add(hWnd); return true; // please continue enumeration ! } [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern int EnumWindows(LP_EnumWindowsProc ewp, IntPtr lParam); private delegate bool EnumWindowsProc(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr lParam); [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern bool IsWindowVisible(IntPtr hWnd); }
Many thanks in advance. Kind regards,

Hi Luc, Thanks for the reply. I have heard about P/Invoke, but wasn't sure about how to go about using it. But many thanks for the link, I think the delegate section is what I needed. Kind regards,

Hi all, I have written a C++ library which communicates with an external device. The device sends back certain X and Y coordinates. I am trying to send back these X and Y coordinates to a calling c# application, but I don't want to poll the library with a thread or a loop. Is there a way I can create an event in the C++ library and register to it from the c# application, so that when the X and Y coordinates have values, the event will be fired in the c# application? Many thanks in advance. Kind regards,

Just remeber to set the UseShellExecute property to false.

            Process start = null;
            start = Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo()
            {
                FileName = @"C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\aspnet\_regiis.exe",
                Arguments = string.Format("-pef connectionStrings {0}", webConfiguraitonFilePath),
                CreateNoWindow = true,
                UseShellExecute = false,
                WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden,
                RedirectStandardError = true,
                RedirectStandardOutput = true
            });
            start.Start();
            StreamReader outputReader = process.StandardOutput;
            StreamReader errorReader = process.StandardError;

Thanks again. Kind regards,
