Is it possible to use CSS to define <hr> as a graphic image? FrontPage 2003 has apparently dropped the graphic hr from their themes and I am becoming more involved in using CSS, but would like to retain the automatic inclusion of a graphic in place of hr. I have a 300 px graphic I'd like to continue using, without a manual search and replace of <hr> on 300 web pages.... Thanks,

Hey There, I've been trying to see if there is a way to programmatically block, or hide, the Control Panel. Since it is a "Virtual Folder", just blocking an .exe from running doesn't work. Even some of the applet items in the Control Panel are problematic. The "Fonts" link or the "Network Connections" link are both "Virtual Folders", so when I block ..cpl files doesn't affect them. Anybody out there have any suggestions? Thanks! Jay

Is there a way to Launch the Printer Control panel from a C# application, and if so will the same command work on a Vista computer? I am thinking I will have to do a System.Diagnostics.Process.Start, but I don't know what I need to start. Thanks, Eric Renken

I have a custom control where users can set the backcolor of one of it's UI elements via a DP I created. One of the colors they can pick is a brush called CustomGradient where I would set the DP to this brush. Then from a color picker I would let them pick a solid color brush and set 2 of the gradient stops to this new value. So for example, here's the style:

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
