Public Declare Auto Function SendMessage Lib "user32.dll " (ByVal hWnd As
IntPtr, ByVal wMsg As Int32, ByVal wParam As Int32, ByVal s As String)
As Int32
Const WM_SETHOTKEY As Long = &H32
Const HotKey_Alt_F12 As Long = &H47B
Private Sub MainFrm_Load(By Val sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
SendMessage(Me. Handle, WM_SETHOTKEY, HotKey_Alt_F12, 0)
End Sub
This example will create a system-wide Hotkey combination of Alt-F12.
Press this combination and your application will be given the focus,
even if it's been minimized. (Watch for wrapping)
Hope this helps.

Admittedly, I am not quite sure how I was able to access Oracle on my

worked.

Does anyone know of a keystroke logger that has been written in Python
for Windows machines? I'd like to see such a script and use it as a

Basically, I'd like to be able to capture all keystrokes from the
keyboard buffer and write them to a text file so I could reporduce
emails, documents, etc. in the event of file loss that occurs between
nightly backups. For example,...

Hi,
I'm having a little problem catching keystrokes under Windows. I did a
little research and found that with mscvrt.getch() one can cath a single
key that is pressed. However this doesn't work when the program is run
on the backround and not as the primary task. What I would like to have
is a same sort of function that would also work when the program is being
run on the background. I'm trying to implement a program that would listen...

Ther reason I ask is that the .NET install overwrote my perfectly

The release notes say NOTHING about this, and the install DID NOT
ask me if I wanted to.
If .NET is OK with 5.5, I'll be removing 6.0 as fast as I can

I have enabled the query governor on our SQL2000 SP2 server with a
threshold of 3600. Now, some of the maintenance jobs fail due to the
limit being to low (e.g. one of the user databases integrity check
fails nightly).
I have tried to put the command 'SET QUERY_GOVERNOR_COST_LIMIT 0' just
before the line in the step which reads 'EXECUTE
master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint N'-Plan etc'
but it has no effect.

People make these slip-ups all the time accidentally,

Dear C++ Experts,
Over the last couple of months I have been writing my first program
using shared memory. It has been something of an "in-at-the-deep-end"
experience, to say the least. At present the shared memory contains a
few fixed-size structs, but I really need to be able to store more
complex variable-sized data in there. So the next task is to work out
how to store C++ objects, and if possible STL containers, in this

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.

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,...
