Does anyone know if it is possible, in C#, to use a customized window
frame?
For example, programs like Winamp and AdAware do not use the standard
box window frame, but a customized design.
I'm guessing that this is a bitmap that is somehow applied with an API
call?
Thanks!

Jamie,
Winamp and AdAware use custom painting to do this. Look at the
WM_NCPAINT message. It is sent to windows to indicate that the frame
painting should occur. To handle this message, you would override the
WndProc method on your form to handle this message, and perform the painting
yourself.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I try to draw a layer (a div-area) in a frame - everything is right. But if
the frame is to small to draw the whole layer, the layer is cutted off at
the frame border. Is it possible to say, that the layer is drawn in
absolutely front off all frames?
Thanx for help - Tino

When you have a large table, you
have to scroll the vertical and/or horizontal
scroll bar(s) to read the table contents
<td> tag. But the problem is you can't see
the column header <th> tag when you scroll
down the vertical scroll bar.
So how do I make <th> tag always stay on
the window/frame. This is similar to spreadsheet
Excel, the scroll bars (vertical and horizontal)
will not effect the column headers.

Greetings,
To begin with we have an archetecture which has a manager Asssembly which
loads "Plug-in" assemblies using reflection, when a the UI prompts the
manager.
This loading of the assemblies and initialization is done in a seperate
thread from the UI, to keep the UI from being locked up.
Unfortuately 1 of the plug in assemblies provides a interface to a 3rd party

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.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
