What are the basic mechanisms behind an auto-hiding window which moves out
of the way when not needed and flys back out when clicked on. Is this real
complicated stuff?

Hi Hazz,
is this a form which pops out from behind another form?
I did something like this creating a child form which moves from behind the
parent, incrementing the X or Y using a timer. You also need to move it
using the parent location_change d event.

Thank you Gras. The parent location_change d event would sound right for
launching the form from behind another.
I am trying to imagine the key ideas to launch a form from under the menu
which could contain a grid or something that would be useful to have
available but not always necessary to have open.

Well, as how its implemented in the reality is not so complicated.
1. Timer tracking
2. Animation handling when sliding (sorta control layout procedure)
Just some basic ideas.
However, If ya r really interested, inspecting Magic Library source code wud
be of help in implementation details.
cheers

Hi.
This post follows "does python have useless destructors".
I'm not an expert, so I hope what I will write is meaningfull and
clear.
Actually in Python there is no possibility to write code that follows
C++ RAII pattern.
Of course Python objects are not statics like in C++, but in C++ the
auto_ptr class is used for enforcing this pattern for dynamical

I'm changing the layout of my site. Instead of using tables, I will use

I'm using the following in a page that I'm testing in Mozilla:
p.actionLinkBlock {border: 1px #000000 dashed; padding: 0.2cm; width: auto}
But the dashed border is extending to the right-edge of the screen. I
want it to only extend as far as it needs to to nicely contain the
content within (a couple of links).
Is width: auto the wrong property to do this? Is Mozilla rendering the
style wrong?

Hi,
I am running into a problem of mixing UICulture = auto and allowing users to
select culture using a dropdown list.
I am detecting a querystring, "setlang", and when found, setting the
CurrentUICulture to what's specified in the querystring. Since I want to
allow UICulture auto detecting, I add UICulture = "auto" to page directive on
each page.

at work they decided to center divs thus:
body {text-align:center}
#content {width: 612px; text-align:left; margin: 0 auto 0 auto; }
this works fine in IE & FF, EXCEPT in FF it doesn't work if I change
'auto' to 0 for left and right margin values; I have to leave those at
'auto'.. so I would like to know what exactly means 'auto' -- what
value it represents exactly (and does it apply for all elements/values
you might apply 'auto' to?)

I currently get asked about my usage of "auto". What is it for?
The keyword is clearly superflous here.
In contrast to the huge majority of C/C++ developers I write
definitions very explicitly like that:
int main(char argc, char *argv, char *env) {
try {
auto Exception mainException(1);
mainException.setErrNo(42);

Hi,
I've encountered a strange problem with Firefox which I don't have any
idea how to resolve. To the point: I've <divelement with a style
"height: auto" and I want to retrieve this value ("auto") in
JavaScript - however instead of getting "auto" value, I get calculated
height. In IE and Opera it simply returns "auto".
Any ideas how to check in Firefox if element height was set to
"auto" ? I'll be grateful for any help.

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

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,...
