So, I wanna have a panel with some buttons "outside" my mainform. How can
this be done ?
Do I have to make a new form, with the panel in it, and put it beside my
mainwindow ? If I just can make a panel, is there some way to dock it
outside my mainwindow ?
Also, how can I get the coordinates for example a button in a form, counting
(0, 0) in upper left corner of the screen, not upper left of my form ?
Third, how do I make my window float on top of all others ? Not having focus
all the time, but beeing visible.
TIA

1. You cannot host controls without a form. If you want another floating
window next to your main form, create another form and position it as
needed.
2. Look up PointToScreen method
3. Not sure what you mean, but look up "TopMost" property on Forms (but be
aware doing this is annoying to users; turn this on only if you think your
window is the most important window on the screen)

Hi all,
We have the form which uses checkboxes for several fields and the target
action points to outside webservice. Unfortunatelly they do not support
checkboxes. How to pass it as a radio buttons or pull down select box with
Yes/No options for example (which they support) using still checkboxes as an
input entry.
Thank you for any hint,

Is the C library of most OSes (i.e, unix type OSes) implemented at the
very low kernel or just outside kernel level?
Looking through the source tree of Linux/BSDs it seems like the C
library is intertwined with the OS (string.h and other headers are
there). So does this mean that when I program in C and use standard
library functions, it's similar to calling the OS specific APIs (same
type of performance)?
Seeing all these Standard...

Hi there,
I am having a weird problem in trying to use a ASP.NET menu inside a
custom web part. I am developing a custom web part that has a menu
inside (just the menu, nothing else). The menu is a
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu (ASP.NET 2.0) object. If I add the menu
to a simple ASPX web form, it works nice. However, I am adding it to
my web part, by overriding the RenderWebPart method and doing

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
