  • How can ishow Form in process1 from Form in process2 ?

    - by Al0NE
    Hi I'm trying to show hidden form in process1 from another one was called by : Process.Start(@"F:\MyOtherFormPath\MyOtherForm.exe",this.Handle.ToInt32()); As you can see i passed the handle number of the hidden form ,which i'm calling the "MyOtherForm" from, and i used this number to get a handle and show the hidden form from my "MyOtherForm" like this : Form newFrm = Form.FromHandle(new IntPtr(long.Parse(handleNumberOfMyHiddenForm))); newFrm.show(); But it didn't work, any way to do this . P.S: it didn't throw any exception . thanx in advanced ..

  • (Wordpress) Global variable to detect pagination?

    - by Gnee
    I am showing 6 posts on one page. On the 7th post, pagination occurs on so on. goal: If there is more than one page (page 1, 2, 3, etc..), JavaScript is to add a specific div element. If there are only 6 posts or less, no pagination occurs, no div element is added. The number of posts to show: $showposts = get_query_var('showposts'); The current post number I can keep track of: $post_count++; Problem is I can keep track of posts 1-6 but how to tell if if it goes over to 7 and starts pagination? I thought there was a global variable that returns if pagination occurs, but I can't seem to find it. (I know there is global to detect pagination via <!--nextpage--> but so far I can't find it's equivalent for index.php).

  • Is there such a thing as a C# style extension method in C++ ?

    - by Gary Willoughby
    I'm currently learning C++ and i run into the simple problem of converting an int to a string. I've worked around it using: string IntToString(int Number) { stringstream Stream; Stream << Number; return Stream.str(); } but though it would be more elegant to use something like: int x = 5; string y = x.toString(); but how do i add the toString() method to a built in type? or am i missing something totally fundamental?

  • Parsing string logic issue c#

    - by N0xus
    This is a follow on from this question My program is taking in a string that is comprised of two parts: a distance value and an id number respectively. I've split these up and stored them in local variables inside my program. All of the id numbers are stored in a dictionary and are used check the incoming distance value. Though I should note that each string that gets sent into my program from the device is passed along on a single string. The next time my program receives that a signal from a device, it overrides the previous data that was there before. Should the id key coming into my program match one inside my dictionary, then a variable held next to my dictionaries key, should be updated. However, when I run my program, I don't get 6 different values, I only get the same value and they all update at the same time. This is all the code I have written trying to do this: Dictionary<string, string> myDictonary = new Dictionary<string, string>(); string Value1 = ""; string Value2 = ""; string Value3 = ""; string Value4 = ""; string Value5 = ""; string Value6 = ""; void Start() { myDictonary.Add("11111111", Value1); myDictonary.Add("22222222", Value2); myDictonary.Add("33333333", Value3); myDictonary.Add("44444444", Value4); myDictonary.Add("55555555", Value5); myDictonary.Add("66666666", Value6); } private void AppendString(string message) { testMessage = message; string[] messages = message.Split(','); foreach(string w in messages) { if(!message.StartsWith(" ")) outputContent.text += w + "\n"; } messageCount = "RSSI number " + messages[0]; uuidString = "UUID number " + messages[1]; if(myDictonary.ContainsKey(messages[1])) { Value1 = messageCount; Value2 = messageCount; Value3 = messageCount; Value4 = messageCount; Value5 = messageCount; Value6 = messageCount; } } How can I get it so that when programs recives the first key, for example 1111111, it only updates Value1? The information that comes through can be dynamic, so I'd like to avoid harding as much information as I possibly can.

  • Blocked Sites at work (that aren't even bad)

    - by Mercfh
    So here recently, i've been using google to look up information for basically random programming things (i was just hired on a month or so ago). So here recently I was actually looking up some information about RAW_SOCKETS (but thats beside the point) Anyways some of the tutorials sites/explaining how to use them and explaining the protocol sites are actually blocked. (and our manager sent out an email saying that if u run into a site just to email her just in case). Now obviously...w/e sys admins probably see these 'blocked' sites in their reports. But should I be worried? I mean....I literally am not trying to be devious Im just trying to learn stuff. I guess programming websites are sometimes labeled as "hacking". sometimes blogs get labeled like that, but alot of the time blogs have USEFUL information. This apparently happens alot of my other co-workers and they don't even bother emailing our manager.....but should I be worried? Or has this happened to you guys before?

  • Avoiding Nested Blocks

    - by Helium3
    If there is a view controller that wants to execute a number of block based tasks one at a time, how can the control be given back to the view controller after a completion block has executed. Lets say ViewControllerOne wants to execute a number of tasks, each relying on the result of the previous one, how would this control be given back to the viewcontroller after each completion block has been executed? I started thinking about this and I was heading towards a deeply nested block pattern that will surely only cause confusion to whoever else reads or tests it. A task executes and the completion block returns the result or error which is needed by the next task, which has its own completion task, that the next task relies on and so forth. How can the control be managed in one place, the viewcontroller? Would the completion block just call the next function that handles the next task, using a pointer to the view controller?

    Dear All, Currently i am simulating my cryptographic scheme to test it. I have developed the code but i am stuck at one point. I am trying to take : g**x where g = 256 bit number x = 256 bit number Python hangs at this point, i have read alot of forums, threads etcc but only come to the conclusion that python hangs, as its hard for it to process such large numbers. any idea how can it be done? any two line piece of code, any library, anything that can be done.(ALSO PLEASE I AM A NEW PYTHON USER AND THIS IS FIRST TIME I DID PROGRAMMING IN IT, SO NO COMPLEX METHODS ...HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND :s)

  • Jquery how to test if current hovered div is eq(x)

    - by j-man86
    Hi all! I am trying to create a jQuery hover function that will highlight a different section of the page depending on what number EQ (index position number) the div is. $('#photoContent div').hoverIntent(function () { if( $(this).filter(':lt(5)') ) { $('#photoSidebar').find('p:eq(0)').addClass('currentPhoto'); } if( $(this).filter(':gt(5)') ) { $('#photoSidebar').find('p:eq(1)').addClass('currentPhoto'); } }, function () { $('#photoSidebar').find('p').removeClass('currentPhoto'); }); The above code obviously does not work, but the concept/functionality is what I'm going for. Thanks for your help!

  • Sharepoint connected web parts question

    - by philj
    I have one web part (the provider) which displays insurance claims in a gridview. When user clicks on one this value(case number) is passed via IWebPartField interface to another web part(consumer) which displays detailed info about the claim. So far so good. I can select different claims in the provider and the details show up in the consumer just fine. The moment I add a TextBox to the consumer, the consumer no longer recognizes the case number passed. I need the user to be able to enter a value in the textbox and click a button to update that claim info. I can debug and attach to process and it looks like it is getting the case in the callback function, etc, but when it is setting parameters for the stored proc in CreateChildControls, it is null. Comment out the TextBox and it works fine. Any clues as to what is going on? Brand new to Sharepoint web parts...any help appreciated! thanks, PhilJ

  • Sql Distinct Count of resulting table with no conditionals

    - by AfterImage
    Hello everyone, I want to count the number of accounts from the resulting table generated from this code. This way, I know how many people liked blue at one time. Select Distinct PEOPLE.FullName, PEOPLE.FavColor From PEOPLE Where FavColor='Blue' Lets say this is a history accounting of what people said their favorite color when they were asked so there may be multiple records of the same full name if asked again at a much later time; hence the distinct. The code I used may not be reusable in your answer so feel free to use what you think can work. I am sure I found a possible solution to my problem using declare and if statements but I lost that page... so I am left with no solution. However, I think there is a way to do it without using conditionals which is what I am asking and rather have. Thanks. Edit: My question is: From the code above, is there a way to count the number of accounts in the resulting table?

  • How To Deliberately Hide Bugs In Code (for use in a Novel I'm writing) [closed]

    - by Dennis Murphy
    I'm writing a novel in which an evil programmer wants to include subtle errors in his code that are likely to go unnoticed by his supervisor during a code review and unlikely to be caught by a compiler, yet cause damage at possibly random times when the program is executed by an end-user. I only need a couple of examples, which may be exotic but which have to be easily explainable to non-technical readers. Procedural or object-oriented examples would be equally helpful. (It's been a VERY long time since I've written any code.) Thanks for your help.

  • Flex DataGrid not Displaying Data

    - by asawilliams
    I have a custom dataGrid that acts more like a 2D list (if that makes sense at all). I am dynamically creating the columns and recreating the dataProvider to suit my needs. While debugging I can see that I am creating the columns and setting them to the dataGrid and creating and setting the dataProvider, but for some reason I am able to see the dataGrid and the columns but not the data. [Bindable] private var mockData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ {value: "425341*"}, {value: "425341*"}, {value: "425341*"}, {value: "425341*"}, {value: "425341*"}, {value: "425341*"}, {value: "425341*"}, {value: "425341*"}, {value: "425341*"}]); ... <TwoDimensionalList width="100%" height="100%" numColumns="7" numRows="7" dataField="value" dataProvider="{mockData}"/> The snippet of code from the object only contains the important functions, everything else is not important (getters, setters, etc ...). While debugging I checked all the variables in the functions to make sure they were assigned and a value that I was expecting. [Snippet] public class TwoDimensionalList extends DataGrid { ... /** * Creates and sets properties of columns */ private function createColumns():void { var column:DataGridColumn; var cols:Array = this.columns; for(var i:uint=0; i < numColumns; i++) { column = new DataGridColumn("column"+i.toString()); column.dataField = "column"+i.toString(); cols[i]=column; } this.columns = cols; // go to the current gotoPage(this._currentPageNum); } /** * Sets the data for the dataprovider based on the * number of columns, rows, and page number. * * @param pageNum the page number of the data to be viewed in the DataGrids. */ private function gotoPage(pageNum:uint):void { _currentPageNum = pageNum; var startIndex:uint = (pageNum-1)*numColumns*numRows; var data:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); for(var i:uint=0; i < numRows; i++) { var obj:Object = new Object(); for(var j:uint=0; j < numColumns; j++) { if((i+(j*numRows)+startIndex) < _dataProvider.length) obj["column"+j.toString()] = String(_dataProvider.getItemAt(i+(j*numRows)+startIndex)["value"]); } data.addItem(obj); } this.dataProvider = data; } }

  • Is it possible to set a parameterized build or pass an environment variable via a hudson build trigger?

    - by Tim
    I'd like to use hudson to trigger a "promotion" of a build. The build would be a simple script that just copies a release candidate installer file from one location to another. (development dir to release/stable dir) Our build server is not on the public internet, but I want to be able to send an email or a text message or an IM with the build number to hudson, which will parse the build number and then do the copy/move. In looking at the jabber/IM plugin it does not look like this is possible (the parameter part) Has anyone solved this in some way? Should I use some other mechanism? I would prefer not to have to do the manual steps each time (SCP/FTP, etc) - I just want any QA team member to be able to trigger the build server to do the promotion.

    For those of you primarily working on high performance computing for non-scientific purposes (as in no fortran) what are the ways by which you keep yourself abreast of the latest trends out there? Industry gossip? Random blogs from google? Search SO? I am into HPC recently and looking for the high level architectural landscape. Given that everyone from GPGPU coders to FPGA folks to Erlang developers claim they are into HPC, how are you keeping up with so much information?

  • Is this possible with Sql 2005 CTE?

    - by aenima1982
    I have been working on a query that will return a suggested start date for a manufacturing line based on due date and the number of minutes needed to complete the task. There is a calendar table(LINE_ID, CALENDAR_DATE, SCHEDULED_MINUTES) that displays per manufacturing line, the number of minutes scheduled for that day. Example: (Usually 3 shifts worth of time scheduled per day, no weekends but can vary) 1, 06/8/2010 00:00:00.000, 1440 1, 06/7/2010 00:00:00.000, 1440 1, 06/6/2010 00:00:00.000, 0 1, 06/5/2010 00:00:00.000, 0 1, 06/4/2010 00:00:00.000, 1440 In order to get the suggested start date, I need to start with the due date and iterate downward through the days until i have accumulated enough time to complete the task. My Question can something like this be done with CTE, or is this something that should be handled by a cursor. Or... am i just going about this the wrong way completely??

  • UIPickerView and empty core data array

    - by Mark
    I have a viewcontroller showing items from a core data entity. I also have a tableview listing records from the same entity. The table is editable, and the user could remove all the records. When this happens, the view controller holding the pickerview bombs because it's looking for records in an empty array. How to prevent this? I'm assuming I need to do something different at objectAtIndex:row... # pragma mark PickerView Section - (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView { return 1; // returns the number of columns to display. } - (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component { return [profiles count]; // returns the number of rows } - (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component { // Display the profiles we've fetched on the picker Profiles *prof = [profiles objectAtIndex:row]; return prof.profilename; } //If the user chooses from the pickerview - (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component { selectedProfile = [[profiles objectAtIndex:row]valueForKey:@"profilename"]; }

  • Overriding the default error message for a ModelForm

    - by Jude Osborn
    Is there any way to override a error_message text for all the fields of a ModelForm's, without having to include all the field info in the ModelForm? For example, let's say I have a (very simple) model like this: People(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=True, blank=True, help_text="Please type your name.") age = models.IntegerField(help_text="Please type your age.") I don't like the cut and dry default messages, such as, "Enter a whole number.", so I'd like to change them to something a bit nicer like "Please type a number." Ideally I'd be able to add an "error_message" property in the model, but the model does not support that property. So does that mean I have to basically duplicate all the model info in my ModelForm, or is there a way around that?

  • Identifying a function call in a python script line in runtime

    - by Dani
    I have a python script that I run with 'exec'. The script's string has calls to functions. When a function is called, I would like it to know the line number and offset in line for that call in the script (in the string I fed exec with). Here is an example. If my script is: foo1(); foo2(); foo1() foo3() And if I have code that prints (line,offset) in every function, I should get (0,0), (0,8), (0,16), (1,0) In most cases this can be easily done by getting the stack frame, because it contains the line number and the function name. The only problem is when there are two functions with the same name in a certain line. Unfortunately this is a common case for me. Any ideas?

  • Algorithm for procedural city generation?

    - by Zove Games
    I am planning on making a (simple) procedural city generator using Java. I need ideas on whan algorithm to use for the layout, and the actual buildings. The city will mostly have skyscrapers, not really much complex stuff. For the layout I already have a simple algorithm implemented: Create a Map with java.awt.Point keys and Integer values. Fill it with all the points in the city's bounds with the value as -1 (unnassigned) Shuffle the map, and assign the 1st 10 of the keys IDs (from 1-10) Loop until all points have IDs: Loop though all points: Assign points next to an assigned point IDs of the point next to them, if 2 or more points border the point, then randomly choose which ID the point will get. You will end up with 10 random regions. Make roads bordering these regions. Fill the inside of each region with a randomly spaced and randomly rotated grid PROBLEM: This is not the fastest way to do it. What algorithm should I use for the layout. And what should I use to make each building's design? I don't even know how I'm going to do that yet (fractals maybe). I just need some ideas, not actual code.
