    Alter date value in Text Box

    I have a Text Box on my ASP.Net page with a mask of 99/99/9999, and it should only accept a Date. I want to be able to type in only a 0 as a shortcut and have some Javascript change the value to the current date. I'm using the OnBlur event on my page to call the Javascript function...

    Finding filename using lsof

    This only seems to be showing me the filesystems that the files are open in, not the actual filenames.

    Finding filename using lsof

    I have a large C program running on AIX that seems to be consistently leaving an additional 2 files open after processing its input. There are several calls to tempnam and corresponding calls to unlink to remove the temp files after use. It looks like I've maybe missed a couple of unlinks...

    Excel - Fill Color based on contents of Cell

    I'm new to VBA in Excel and I'm trying to do something that sounds simple to me, but I can't work out how to do it. I want to fill the colour of each row in my worksheet based on the contents of one of my columns. e.g. if column D contains "Paid", I want the row to be coloured green. If column...

    Question on free()

    Thanks for all your help guys. It turned out that I was doing malloc(strlen(str1)) followed by a strcpy() to copy str1 into my new area of memory. Of course I should have been doing malloc(strlen(str1)+1). It was all working ok until I tried to free the memory, but I guess that was just by...

    Question on free()

    I've declared a local variable as char* in my function (non-static) and then I've done malloc() to reserve some memory for it. I then use the variable and return from my function. If I don't free() the memory, will it be deallocated anyway since it is only in scope within the function? I seem...

    The problem is that my User Controls are all different, so I can't pass in my parameter with type UserControlName.

    Passing UserControl as param into Sub

    Thanks for your reply. However, what I'm trying to do is pass a User Control as the parameter, not a form. I have a form with several tabs, each one containing a User Control which holds text boxes, combos, etc. I want to do a Save only for the tab that I'm currently on, not the whole form...

    Passing UserControl as param into Sub

    I'm trying to write a generic Sub to build up a string of all the data I've typed into my text boxes, combos, etc since I last did a Save. Most of my controls are held within user controls, so I'd like to call my new Sub like this - sChangeString = GetChangeString (Me) I've created my Sub...
