I am interested in hearing opinions on the semantic meaning of FORM (elements) in HTML. I have to start of apologising because this question arose in a context that is not applicable to the Internet. Specifically, marking up a document that will contain multiple related form controls (intended exclusively for client-side scripting) that would never be intended to be submitted. I realise that that concept is a non-starter in an Internet...

I though I might do some trick with CreateDIBPatternBrush but I'm not sure

I have been attempting to solve this problem for a few weeks now, but I'm not having much luck... I would like to create a seamless fading effect on each form/window in my program; one that, when an image is clicked with a mouse and held, the window fades away by approximately 50% transparency, and when the mouse button is released, fades back to opaque. I have been able to do this to an extent, with the SetLayeredWindowAttributes...

As far as I know if I change the form's opacity, every control on the form also inherits that opacity. But in many real applications (not application programs), we see opaque text (100% opacity) on a traslucent background, for example text messages on TV. Or look at the title bar text of Aero. Background is translucent but the text is opaque. Is it possible to use 100% opaque text on a traslucent form?

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. 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. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
