Just a quick follow-up and a resolution. We were able to eventually get the fire alarm company to send their tech out. (From the day it broke to the day he came out to check it, took almost a month, shy of a few days. So wow. "great" service!) The guy acknowledged that the issue was the phone...

Thanks for the info, curlycord. To answer your question, I'm an assistant manager. My apartment is adjacent to the manager's office. So when that issue happens the alarm panel starts making loud noise, which I can hear from my apartment. (That's what wakes me up.) And yes, I understand your...

Thanks. That line is the exact same configuration that worked just fine since about 2014 when we switched to the Comcast digital service. Why would it start failing now? Plus the Comcast technician that came out a couple of days ago could clearly see what the line was used for. I'm assuming he'd...

Hi everyone: Let me explain my dilemma. We have this fire alarm panel installed in the manager's office in our apartment complex. It says "Silent Knight 5808" on the front of it. It works by having sensors in the air ducts all over the complex. And if one of them is tripped by smoke the panel...

You see I'm posting my ASP NET stuff on the shared web host and I'm doubting that they will allow me to upload compiled stuff.

Hi everyone: I'm trying to migrate from ASP to ASP NET and I'm wondering if I can use Windows Script Encoder on my ASP NET pages?

Hi everyone: I've come upon a problem when trying to copy a bitmap handle from a window of one process to another. I have a static bitmap control in one app and I am copying its bitmap handle to another using CopyImage API like this: HANDLE hBitmap = (HANDLE)SendMessage(hStaticWnd...

Hi everyone: Is there any way to get access to internal data represented by Icon or Cursor handle (HICON or HCURSOR) -- some sort of kernel or low-level API that does opposite to CreateIconFromResource()? Something that could return icon/cursor intenal data given its handle? I know that there...

Hi guys: How come WindowFromPoint API can't recognize a window with WS_EX_TRANSPARENT and WS_EX_LAYERED styles? If it is made by design how to bypass it to receive a handle of such window from a point on the screen? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone: I am creating a program that requires registration, so I am attempting to write all the user information into the Windows Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key for it to be accessible if my program is run from every user account on that machine. Everything works great until a user...

Hey, thanks. I'll check into it. I think I found a solution. There's a good article in MSDN and an example called IconPro http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwui/html/msdn_icons.asp. Yes, this is about icons, but at the end it says, "Cursors, in Win32, are very similar to icons". There's...

Hello everyone: I was successfully using EnableThemeDialogTexture API to enable XP theme in a tab control dialog box for a custom made Property Sheet until the time when I had to add a dynamically created static control to it. This static control is created from the WM_INITDIALOG message...

Check GetPriorityClass and GetPriorityLevel in MSDN. I think they are somehow combined by that software to make base priority. I haven't heard about any APIs that may return it.

Hi everyone: Does anyone know how to save a cursor in a file? Any links regarding .CUR file format? Any info will be appreciated...

Well, I wouldn't say that "static variables behave improperly in DLLs". They may confuse you. Say, instinctively you'd think that a certain static variable doesn't change within an instance of your app (unless you rewrite it), but in DLL, which could be loaded many times in different processes...

Hey man, thanks a lot!

Yes, definitely programmatically :) So what you say is to simply create a link in that folder? Without use of any function like SHGetSpecialFolderLocation? Will it be portable to other versions of Windows?

Hello everybody: Does anyone know how to create a shortcut link on the Windows Quick Launch bar? (That is the one next to Start button) I found lots of documentation about Desktop, Start Menu, but nothing about Quick Launch. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Use any of Win32 methods that work with files: CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile, etc. This will be much more complicated but you'll bypass CWinApp. More info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/fs/createfile.asp The question is why do you want to do this?

Your welcome. I'm glad you fixed it...
