Having good chunks of uninterrupted time is key for me (at least 1 to 2 hours depending on the task at hand). Yes, this is an ideal scenario and not always reality. Making this happen requires planning & cooperation between myself and anyone else up the chain.

You must work from home ;)

By glasses that help, do you mean something like these (I looked around after you pointed out their existence): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826665041[^] Or do you mean go to the optometrist and get something there? I do have some reading/computer glasses, but I don't think that they do much besides reduce a little glare.

Repro: 10 - 12 hours per day staring at approximately 1.5 million LCD produced pixels. I am currently trying to reduce some strain/fatigue in my two light capturing devices without entirely removing the source of the problem or changing careers. I have had my eyes checked out by the eye doc. Obviously, one needs to take breaks throughout the day to stop staring at the monitors with clenched jaws, but some of the suggestions that I have seen just don’t seem reasonable to me, like one that says to take a 10 min break every 60. Another suggestion that I read was a 20 second break every 20 min where you look into the distance (20+ feet ahead). Everybody is different, but has anybody successfully developed a good eye usage profile that they could share? I wonder how much of my eye strain is due to focusing at close distances (2 – 3 feet from 3 LCDs). Would working from a very large LCD screen sitting 10 feet away be better? High-res projector?

For the first time this year, the Seattle Code Camp (April 17-18) is providing live video for many of its sessions within a virtual event. C#, .NET & Silverlight, database, architecture, and other general developer topics. Virtual s'mores not included, but otherwise it is free to the public. Seattle Code Camp 2010 (Silverlight app)

By what you described, it does sound like the problem is on the client end of things. It may be that the compatibility pack doesn't set up the MIME types in the client registry, not sure (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type). Are we talking IE on the client end here? Do you get the same behavior in other browsers? Check out the [Handling MIME Types in Internet Explorer](<a href=)[^]"> MSDN article for more info on that. There may be some things you can investigate here. Unfortunately, any solution is likely to require extra work by your clients, which is often something that you can't make a requirement.

Actually, it looks like you can handle the Tab key if you are running on a device with .NET CF 2 or 3.5. In your Form constructor, set this.KeyPreview to true. You can now use the Form's KeyDown event to check for the Tab key. Of course, I am making a number of assumptions about what you are trying to do and what the problem is (besides it doesn't work).

You should be able to send the Tab key, but you will run into problems if you want to actually handle it with a KeyEventHandler. If you can't use another key for whatever application you are working on, see this MSDN magazine article (it specifically addresses the Tab key issue): Add Keyboard Support to Compact Framework Apps by Trapping Windows Messages[^] Disclaimer: the article is a few years old now and I have not tried out the code myself -- it looks to be fairly involved.

I am responding to your question after some delay, so you may have already found your answer. If not, I think that you should look into the EnumWindows[^] function to get the window handles, then you should be able to utilize GetWindowText.

TimeManager is part of the framework and it is related to the animation subsystem. Do you have a lot of animations going on in your app?

Here is an example: WPF Autocomplete Textbox Control[^] I have used the AutoCompleteBox from the Silverlight toolkit before. You could probably get some ideas from that code: http://www.codeplex.com/Silverlight[^]

Is this a problem that you are having just on Vista? If so, it sounds like many others are experiencing the same problem: http://forum.soft32.com/pda/CeGetDeviceId-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center-ftopict62444.html[^] I'm sorry I couldn't find a solution either!

I haven't tried to do this before, so I did a quick search to see what I could find. Did you have a problem with any of the resources out there or did you just not find any? The following thread has some example code showing how to wrap keybd_event (you have to do some interop), and there is another suggestion to check out the OpenNETCF site (look for Smart Device Framework - it may have SendKeys): http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxcompact/thread/d5d6097e-f221-452e-8b65-5659e2c9faaa[^] PInvoke.net has some documentation that may be helpful: http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32.keybd_event[^] Note: I noticed that one example is importing coredll.dll while another is importing user32.dll. I'm not sure why.

I see what you are saying about the caret staying in the TextBox that looses focus. Try setting the IsEnabled property to False and then True again after you set e.Handled = True. That seems to make the caret go away for me.

You could keep track of the filtered items yourself, i.e. put items in a list whenever your filter is going to return True.
