Borland C++ Builder Contest / Re: Two BCB questions: 1st: regarding EM_UPDATE, 2nd: file dragging *from* form
« Last post by mouser on May 25, 2006, 08:40 PM »
welcome to the site alex; those are some tricky question actually.

there is a very good free drag+drop component set that i have used in the past for advanced drag and drop stuff (in AND OUT): http://www.angusj.com/delphi/ (see bottom, Drag & Drop Component Suite); i can help you get it working for bcb if you have trouble. [i keep meaning to write some little tutorials on tricks for compiling delphi components for bcb - sometimes there are some tricky stuff].

thought i dont think that component is going to help you - basically youll want to detect a drag begin event for the tabs, and then write some custom highlighting to detect which tab they are dragging it over in order to show a visual hint.  i really don't know how to do this but id be very interested in hearing how you do it if you figure out how.

a great place to look for solutions for stuff like this is to search google GROUPS for delphi.  (delphi solutions as you probably know are 99% same as bcb, but delphi is more likely to get you some good hits).

there have been some good articles on implemented undo/redo functionality.  your approach seems a bit strange to me.. are you sure you want to reinvent the wheel? there are some nice free bcb/delphi editor components that might implement undo/redo already (scite?).  or else if you are really implmenting your own custom editor, it seems like you might be better off catching all keypresses and handling them manually in which case you wouldnt really be needing to catch en_update, etc.  or am i wrong?

Living Room / Breaking News: Symantec AntiVirus Worm Hole Puts Millions at Risk - fixed may 27

Symantec AntiVirus Worm Hole Puts Millions at Risk

...
A gaping security flaw in the latest versions of Symantec's anti-virus software suite could put millions of users at risk of a debilitating worm attack, Internet security experts warned May 25.
Researchers at eEye Digital Security, the company that discovered the flaw, said it could be exploited by remote hackers to take complete control of the target machine "without any user action."
 "This is definitely wormable. Once exploited, you get a command shell that gives you complete access to the machine. You can remove, edit or destroy files at will," said eEye Digital Security spokesperson Mike Puterbaugh.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Firefox black lines in AutoScroll
« Last post by mouser on May 25, 2006, 03:15 PM »
this has to be some issue with windows display styles or themes or something.. you are not the only person it's happening to but i haven't been able to figure out why it happens to some people and not others..

i can add a little hack that allows people to specify some custom tweak  #s to avoid this but i'd really like to figure out the main cause.  i think it has to do with windows scrollbar sizes - the operating system maybe not returning the correct value to me..

if anyone can figure out any clues as to when the lines come up i'd be very interested in hearing.. i will keep trying to find it and add the custom tweak settings.

i think some concerted effort is going to have to be made to make or find commandline tools for uploading, emailing, etc. if screenshot captor is to keep up.

DonationCoder Projects / About this experimental section
« Last post by mouser on May 25, 2006, 12:42 PM »
If you are the kind of coder who likes to jump right into making stuff that will actually be used for real, and you want to help out this site, this is the place!

We will post here things that we would actually like to add to the DonationCoder.com site and forum, for those that want to give something back and write real code that we can use here.

Almost all web scripting for donationcoder.com is done with php and we will want to keep with that.
Also we use the smf (www.simplemachines.org) forum, and forum integration is a big issue with us - so getting familiar with that might be a good first step.

If you need a test account with access to a simplemachines.org forum we can provide that for people serious in tackling some of this work.

We will be giving out some serious prizes for users who write code we actually use.

We also invite people to post new ideas in this section for discussion and debate

Living Room / Re: Blog Post: The death of Wikipedia
« Last post by mouser on May 25, 2006, 12:28 PM »
i think wikipedia is a fantastic thing.
i also think its insane how long the people who ran wikipedia seemed blind to the fact that they were going to need better user management and permission control.  this was something blatantly obvious to many of us and it seems wikipedia people are finally begrudgingly accepting that it's a necesary thing to address.  i was very put off at the extremely poor user management and permission support in even very recent versions of mediawiki.  totally indefensible.

The death of Wikipedia
May 24, 2006
Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that "anyone can edit," was a nice experiment in the "democratization" of publishing, but it didn't quite work out. Wikipedia is dead. It died the way the pure products of idealism always do, slowly and quietly and largely in secret, through the corrosive process of compromise.
There was a time when, indeed, pretty much anyone could edit pretty much anything on Wikipedia. But, as eWeek's Steven Vaughan-Nichols recently observed, "Wikipedia hasn't been a real 'wiki' where anyone can write and edit for quite a while now."

Captain Kremmen - hahah i love it.
actually this kind of thing is one of my favorite types of humour - i don't think it has a name but it should - it's where you have something that is 99% normal, and appears on the face of it to be like any other of its kind, but then it has 1% "subversive" or "rule-breaking" material inside it.

ben,
actually your idea is one i know will be popular; aspects of it have come up several times in this forum in different circumstances, with regard to modes that would:
  • change the size+layout of existing windows.
  • start and stop different programs.
  • change visual appearance.

i think it's defintiely something worth pursuing.
You'll get lots of beta testing here i'm sure and lot's of suggestions once you get started.

Delphi and C++ Builder / Re: Something you should know about C++ Builder
« Last post by mouser on May 25, 2006, 10:28 AM »
very good advice app - your description and instructions are exactly right; and i advise all people to choose those settings.  file size will grow but the program will be self-contained.

(Delphi has the same issue but more people happen to have the delphi runtime .dlls already installed on their computer).

ps.  Love your new avatar app  :up:

Living Room / New Article? Europe: No patents for software
« Last post by mouser on May 24, 2006, 07:54 PM »
Anyone know any more about this - this seems like it could be significant.
(i am not a fan of this software patent stuff where amazon patents the idea of one-click ordering - ridiculous)

...
Software patent campaigners have reacted with surprise to an apparent change in the European Commission's stance on those patents.
The Commission said last week that computer programs will be excluded from patentability in the upcoming Community Patent legislation and that the European Patent Office will be bound by this law.
"The EPO would...apply and be bound by a new unitary Community law with respect to Community patents," the Commission said in a statement. "The draft Community Patent regulation confirms in its Article 28.1(a) that patents granted for a subject matter (such as computer programs), which is excluded from patentability pursuant to Article 52 EPC, may be invalidated in a relevant court proceeding."
This statement appears to contradict one made by the EC last year, when it said that the EPO would continue to grant software patents that make a technical contribution, despite the European Parliament's decision to reject the software patent directive. That directive would have widened the extent to which software could be patented.

speaking for myself, feel free to change the way data is saved; won't bother me to reconfigure.
