vb.net 2003 form.refresh and screen saver

while my screen saver (webshots) is active, my vb.net windows app updates a
textbox. after exiting the password protected screen saver, the text box
does not appear to be updated, but it has been, i.e. old data is still
displayed on screen, but the program has correctly updated it. I issue a
textbox.refresh , a form.refresh and an application.doe vents after updating
the textbox.

this was reported as a windows bug way back in NT; my XP-Pro is up to date.

any suggestions??

I have a machine that will be used to demo some Excel spreadsheets at a convention. Because I did not author the spreadsheets and attendees will be allowed to play with the spreadsheets, I needed a way to periodically restore the original versions. In addition to the "always-on-top click this button to reset demo" application I wrote, I chose to use screen saver code to reset the demo after a period of inactivity in the event an attendee...

Hi, Our software runs on a XP system attached to a touch screen monitor and smartcard USB reader. We run our own simple corporate screen saver. When the screen is touched the screen saver vanishes, but when a user inserts a smartcard (we're polling for inserts) the screen saver doesn't vanish. Is there any way we can awaken the system and stop the screen saver from code please?

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

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
