In javascript on a browser, I can do this to see if an object is DOM-related:
obj instanceof Node
How do I accomplish this with google desktop? Node is undefined, and this doesn't work either:
obj instanceof basicElement
This question tells me how to detect a remote desktop session.
Do anybody know if it's possible to find out from where the remote connection was initialized?

Just wondering what your comments are regarding the current trend as everything is moving to the web or even the cloud. The significance of an OS or desktop application is getting less attention than web application. So to those folks out there who still develop windows applications, such as WPF. Why still do it? Why not move to web programming? Silverlight instead for example...
Hi,
I have a machine behind a firewall to which I have only FTP and HTTP access - is there any remote desktop software available that I can install over FTP and access over HTTP (java based perhaps)?
The reason I'm asking is because ultraVNC stopped working for no reason and I need to access the PC (it has installed windows 7 with UAC disabled).
thanks
Ahoy,
I'd like to mount a "virtual drive" myself on Windows XP, I guess using the windows API.
What I thought about would be like a server interface, meaning explorer.exe would send "queries", like, list directory, or get file through a pipe or whatever...
I know some programs do it, maybe not the way I think it is done, but what the heck,
if you know anything, enlighten me please!
If I am developing a class and don't know how it will be used, are there any drawbacks to declaring all the member functions virtual? Is this a good or bad design?
Im trying to eliminate two tables from my database. The tables are message_sort_options and per_page_options. These tables basically just have 5 records which are options a user can set as their preference in a preferences table. The preferences table has columns like sort_preferences and per_page_preference which both point to a record in the other two tables containing the options. How can i set up the models with virtual attributes and fixed values for the options - eliminating table lookups every time the preferences are looked up?
I'm looking to create a virtual printer that passes data to my .NET application. I want to then create an installer that installs both the printer and the .NET application. It would we really nice to be able to write it all in C#, but I have a feeling that this will require a printer driver to be written is unmanaged code. Does anyone know of a fairly clean tutorial or example of how to do this?
I'm looking for a virtual webcam driver to use in a .NET project, this project will be GPL, and have no idea how many installations there will be
The idea is that the application is using the webcam without locking the device.
Found a couple of programs that do the job, but either in application and/or too expensive:
* http://www.softservice.org/products_camsplitter.html (9.99$/installation)
* splitcamera.com (program, no SDK available)
All idea's are welcome
When I use remote desktop to access my windows 2008 server from windows vista I cannot re size or drag any windows in the RDP session. I can RDP in and maximize windows and minimize just fine buy I cannot re size or move a window. Any help I cannot find anything on Google.
I have designed an desktop application using C#.net that has many users. Each USer has specific rights. The User logs into the system when the application first starts and the UserID number is stored and used throughout the app., but when they want to change user (UserID) they have to close the system down and start again. How would I go about creating a 'log out' - 'login' function that keeps the main form open but disabled allowing a new user to login?
Hello
Im looking for a way to get an application, any application, that has been started using ShellExecuteEx or CreateProcess to draw on an offscreen surface such as a bitmap instead of drawing on the desktop, this should include any dialogs the (Open, Save, messages) that the application invokes.
I am familiar with the Windows API, GDI and device context, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
How can I remove a desktop shortcut by Innosetup? It's created by previous version and not needed anymore. I tried delete it in [InstallDelete]
[InstallDelete]
Type: files; Name: {userdesktop}\Shortcut Name
and delete the file in "ssInstall" of CurStepChanged event handler
DeleteFile(ExpandConstant('{userdesktop}\Shortcut Name'));
But they don't work. Any suggestion is appreciated!
I would like to create a virtual attribute that will always be included when you do model_instance.inspect. I understand that attr_reader will give me the same thing as just defining an instance method, but I would like this attribute to be part of the object's "make up"
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks!
I am working remotely on a Windows Server via Remote Desktop Connection and some process has hung the server. I looked up how to bring up the Task Manager remote (equivalent of locally doing CTRL+ALT+DEL) and I found CTRL+ALT+END and it doesn't seem to work.
I tried logging off and logging back on and the system is still up (tried earlier seeing the properties of My Comptuer, FYI).
Does anyone know how I can escape this 'hindrance' and star fresh?!?
Hi,
I have a VMWare virtual machine (windows xp). I have just started it up through the VMWare player and it's extremely slow on my laptop (expected).
Is it possible to boot from that image like in mac bootcamp so that it's not virtualised and soo slow?
Thank you
More of a wiki list/collection, I'm looking for a list of good Java desktop apps. I've added a couple below to get started. Please list the framework/widget toolkit being used if it's know as well.
A while back a found a great-looking framework that allowed .net developers to implement a virtual file system. I thought I had bookmarked it, but it seems I haven't.
Does anyone know any frameworks for doing this?
EDIT: Here's a hint... It had a catchy, short name and it's own domain. Sorry, that's all I can remember :p
I am writing a download manager for iPhone using objective C. I am using ASIHTTP framework and its working great. But my problem is I am not able to download from file sharing sites like filesonic, rapidshare, hotfile etc.
I want to know how can I get download (actual download) url from these sites, or at least how these sites are hiding this info (and where), so I can get that somehow...
Is there any open source library or framework to help me with this? How firefox or other desktop browser get this link?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Update 1 : I don't want to bypass their advertising and revenue streams. Almost all file sharing companies also provide free downloads with low bandwidth, I only want to use that service. there are many download managers available now for iPhone like - "Downloads Lite". I just want to build a similar functionality.
It would be much more less work to define which methods are NOT overideable instead of which are overideable because (at least for me), when you're designing a class, you don't care if its heirs will override your methods or not...
So, why methods in C# are not automatically virtual? What is the common sense in this?
Hi,
I have desktop application developed in C#. The VM Size used by application is very high. Is there a solution to release / decrease the VM size programatically in C#
Hi, i have a production server that does not have ftp access. Possible way to deploy files is connecting with remote desktop client and send files.
As you know this approach is highly hard and time inefficient.
Could you please provide me best practices to deploy in a more fast way?
Thanks
I was asked this crazy question.
I was out of my wits.
Can a method in base class which is declared as virtual be called using the base class pointer which is pointing to a derived class object?
Is this possible?
