The divs show/hide onMouseOver/onMouseOut but leave a blank space on the page when hidden (the space where the divs would normally be). Is it possible to use z-indexing to put regular content where the hidden divs would be? When I try to do this, the layers don't unhide as...

Does anyone know how I can hide a form from the TaskManager? I've set the ShowInTaskbar to False, but when using Alt-TAB to switch between applications, it appears as a blank icon. I can set it as a SizableToolWindow, but then I no longer have the minimize button on the caption. Is there a way to mimic a (FormBorder) sizable tool window (so it doesn't appear in the tasklist) and still show the Min, Max and Close control buttons? (Or...

I'm using a javascript that hides and unhides text based on a button click. It works great across static fields on a form. The problem I have is that I'm trying to hide and unhide various fields that are populated on the page by a database. In other words, sometimes there are 4 fields, sometimes 6. I've used various scripts for the hide/unhide function. This is one I'm using now that I've copied from another source: <script...

Hi, I was reading effictive C++ and some other books again and they all tell you about hiding implementation details (proxy/pimpl/inheritance) but they never really explain when to use it. I am starting on a new project which is part library so I think it would be good to hide the implementation for the public classes in the library but this seems a lot of overhead to me (both when developing and runtime overhead).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
