http://www.nearlogic.com a programmer's blog Sat, 17 Jan 2009 21:37:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en While testing the Boxee Windows Alpha, I found the need to right click on my touch-screen.  After finding that none of my fingers would send a right-click, I thought it would be useful have an app that would send a right-click to the active window whenever a double-click was detected. I ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=24 Since there seems to be people around who still use VB6, I thought I'd post some more of my stuff.  Here is a button control that can add a nice touch to some apps.  This control is completely owner drawn, and uses code from Carles P.V. (on planetsourcecode.com) and Karl ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=21 I wanted to make a post for all the people who purchased this awful product from Logitech. So if you're searching the net for a fix, maybe I can help. This keyboard and mouse have been a constant annoyance since I bought them. If you've found this post from ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=20 I have a new rule. I must insert mouse cursor changing code at the beginning and end of any block of non-threaded code that takes control away from the user - no matter how short the code is. I started thinking about this after a program I wrote at work ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=19 I've been using the Google Calendar lately, and it's not bad.  It reminded me of a calendar I made a few years ago, but Google did it a bit better.  So I copied Google's color scheme and changed a few things to make mine more like the Google one. This code ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=18 Here's a solution to the lack-luster Timer Control in VB6.  Instead of requiring a Form, the code is contained in a class module.  It is similar to other Timer class implementations you can find on the web, with one major difference.  Each timer requires a call-back function, so to avoid ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=15 The following post is related to the eBook Technologies ETI-2 (also the eBookwise reader), and has nothing to do with anyhting else on this site. I'm posting this under "stuff that's hard to figure out yourself". So for anyone using this eBook, these are the simple instructions you ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=13 I think it's about time for me to do more work on Nutshell. I will probably do another minor release (v1.2.x) before moving on to version 2, which will be a complete rewrite under the .NET framework. Thanks to everyone who has contributed feedback thus far. Many of your ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=12 I've tried to get use to the Windows shortcuts for Cut, Copy, Paste, but I can't do it. I find it much more natural to do editing with one hand; since the arrow keys are on the right side of the keyboard, I use Shift-Delete, Ctrl-Insert, and Shift-Insert. ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=11 I've been looking through my code to find something worth posting. And I think I'll start with OpenGL in Classic VB (6.0). This is not often done, but is easy to do, and works very well. All that is needed to start typing OpenGL code is this ... http://www.nearlogic.com/?p=10
