Hello everybody, I have a little problm using custom shape windows
form. I 'm using the idea illustrated in MSDN (use of TransparenceKey )
and all works well but as spoecified on MSDN this works well only if
you set the colors of monitor to 16 or 24 bit. I have to use this
application in different computer, (in a demo to some student) so I
want to be able to change the color depth programmaticall y. Is there
some trip to do that? the class Screen doesn't contain things that I
need (she get values but don't set them).
Can you help me?

Hello,
I am not sure the managed way exists. You can however try P/Invoking to the
ChangeDisplaySe ttings API function.
Or, you can use regions instead of color keys to achieve the custom shape of
your form.

Hi there,
I'm developing a shape recognition application for the tablet PC for a)
fun b) university project. Currently I'm working on the learning stage
using neural networks, and have to store a load of learning data (a 25
by 25 matrix) each shape group has a number of user drawn shapes, then
the application will create variations of these shapes (by moving nodes
and drawing lines into the matrix between nodes, after normalization).

Hi Moondaddy,
I downloaded your sample project and run it and did see the problem on my
side.
There're three problems in the source code of your project.
1. You should move the following lines of code from the GetGeometry method
within the CustomPolyLine class:

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.

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,...
