I know all about Application.Ena bleVisualStyles (for .NET 1.1 only) and
using a manifest, but neither method seems to work when the form is declared
in a class DLL, unless the calling executable enables the visual style. The
problem is that I have no control over the calling executable since I am
making a shell namespace extension. In my case the calling executable is
actually Windows File Explorer.
As a test, I did create a manifest named explorer.exe.ma nifest and through
it in the windows directory, and sure enough my app had the XP style
interface, but since this is going to be a commercial application, I don't
really want to do such a hack job that could potentially affect other
programs.
Is there another (more professional) way to enable the XP style interface
that I am missing?
Thank you in advance.

I have a large form that is generated dynamically in a jsp using xml / xslt. So, to
break up this form into several "tabbed" sections, I break up the form using <div>
tags. Each <div style="display:none"> can be displayed by setting the style attribute
to "display:", or hidden with "display:none". This gives the illusion that the person
filling out the form is switching from page to page...without the overhead of extra
hits on the server,...

Please forgive the simplicy of this question. I have the following code
which attempts to determine the color of some text and set other text
to match that color. It works fine in Firefox, but does nothing in IE.
I'd be greatful for any assistance. Also, if I will have problems the
code on Opera or Safari, I'd appreciate any pointers--I don't have a
Mac to test Safari.
THanks very much,

I'm trying to enable a menuitem in the parent form from a mdichild. Rather
than making the menuitems public, I'd go for a public method in the parent
form to do the change, but when I call the method from the mdichild, I get
this error:
C:\MyProjects\Visual Studio Projects\Tournament\Forms\frmLogin.cs(69): The
name 'test' does not exist in the class or namespace 'Tournament.frmLogin'
frmLogin is the mdichild.

I have created an interface with five properties and five methods. Five
classes are accessed through this interface and contain the implementation.
This setup works fine now. All the classes are encapsulated by the
interface.
If one of the classes requires a new method, this means I have to add this
method to the interface and all involved classes. My design breaksdown in
this case and becomes high maintenance. Is there a better...

On Java's Interface

In Java the language, there's this a keyword “interface”.
In a functional language, a function can be specified by its name and
parameter specs. For example:

I am converting a C-style unit into a C++ class. I have an
implementation function that was defined in the .cpp file (so it was
hidden from the interface that exists in the .h file). It uses a
structure that is only needed by the implementation, so it were
declared in the .cpp file, as well.
Now, when converting this into a class, the class definition exists in
the .h file, since it's required by the interface. The implementation...

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:
