Keeping a window on top and having it respond to keystrokes.
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:54:45 -0400
I have a window that I'm forcing to stay on top. The window is full screen
with no border (I am running as a kiosk). I have some keystrokes that the
window is supposed to respond to. I have it make itself topmost about every
30 seconds and force it to be the topmost window. Problem is - the menu
doesn't resp ...

Illegal Filename characters

I select and grab the first line of the document and Puts it in the SAVE AS
filename dialog
However, if there are illegal characters, this won't work correctly.
How can I check, ahead of time, if the selection I've made has these illegal
character ...

Converting to WPF Apps
Sat, 16 Aug 2008 01:35:49 -0700
I am thinking of converting a Windows Forms app to WPF as a learning
process.
Is there a specific group for WPF? I couldn't find one in my news group
list.
My first (Hello Jeff) app has very fuzzy text on the Button - I have

WindowsFormsSynchronizationContext.Send: how does the delegate
provided to this method interact with the control's message pump?
Thu, 14 Aug 2008 12:56:48 -0700 (PDT)
I did look under the hood and this method is calling
Control.Invoke(). Digging deeper down I've stopped at the

I know that the delegates invoked via Control.BeginInvoke() will use
the window's message pump to send and retrieve the deleg ...

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 05:28:44 -0700 (PDT)
I'm new to .NET, but certainly not new to development work. I've been
trying everything I can think of to get the worlds simplest
implementation of a DataGrid to actually update the changes back to
the database. I've been working on it for two days and I can't seem
