Jeroen,

You will have to perform some custom painting in order to do this. When
the mouse is clicked down, you will have to store the point somewhere. As
the mouse moves, you will have to draw a rectangle (using the DrawRectangle
method on the Graphics class most likely). However, before you do this, you
will have to make sure that the previous rectangle that you drew (at a
different size) is erased. Then, when the mouse is let up, you can stop
tracking the movement of the mouse.

Hope this helps.

SF bug / patch / RFE tracker search?

I know about the script here (append a number to the URL and it'll take you to the tracker item regardless of whether it's a bug, a patch, or an RFE): http://www.python.org/sf/ but is there something similar that *searches* the database across all three categories (preferably with AND as the default operator instead of the silly OR that the SF tracker search box uses)?

Python to use a non open source bug tracker?

Hello, I just read this mail by Brett Cannon: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-October/069139.html where the "PSF infrastracture committee", after weeks of evaluation, recommends using a non open source tracker (called JIRA - never heard before of course) for Python itself.

How to make first selected item in a list box visible

by: peter.mosley | last post by:

I've tried googling for the answer to this problem, without any luck. I'm sure the truth must be out there somewhere! I have a multiselect listbox populated with many items (set by the RowSource property). In my code I cause a number of these to be selected - but if the first selected item is not within the currently visible range then there is no change to the display. This gives the impression that nothing has happened. I think...

I am in the early stages of creating a Hamachi like peer-to-peer VPN application that has the ease of use of Hamachi with the flexibility of OpenVPN.

It is pointless to reinvent the weal, so I plan on letting OpenVPN do all the heavy lifting. My application “only” has to connect to a rendezvous server of some...

But to minimize issues, please try to avoid using either SourceForge or the new issue tracker on Aug 23rd if you...

Need Python alternative to Request-Tracker help desk software

by: Sells, Fred | last post by:

I've been tasked with either implementing Request-Tracker to upgrade our help desk issue tracking system or finding a Python equivalent (both in terms of functionality and wide spread use). Request-Tracker uses Apache and MySQL, which would also be appropriate to Python. I would prefer to go the Python route, especially since Request-Tracker is written in Perl (which I don't know). My initial attempts with Google were not useful due to...

Both are written in Python and provide excellent issue tracking. They differ a bit in design and approach to issue tracking, so you will likely need to investigate a bit further before you decide. Both are easy to extend and adapt to whatever needs you have.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
