@Siberien. It's a financial angle from my CIO. If we have say 1,000 web views, and 1 is on that rare device plus they may not be buying the cost of getting the web page to view spot on isn't worth it.

Another view is if you got it to work on iOS, Android, Windows and Apple's Safari then it's going to look OK on that last rare thing or at lease better than run of the mill sites.

My buddy thinks that web developers can often OCD about this. But at some point you need to get to the next thing.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

At some point you don't worry about it. That is, your web sales to those can't support the effort to make it look good on these. Right now the mobile viewing according to stats my CIO gave me point out we want to try it on Apple iOS, Android, Windows and Apple's Safari and at that point we have 99% of the machines covered or higher. It sounds horrible but why worry about the tenth percent machines?

I don't see any quick fix. Did you install it like https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/942870 noted?

That out of the way, while we loved VB6 I no longer will do anything new with it besides maintenance.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Just one. In an app long ago I need to scale video data to get the most out of an embedded display. So I didn't want to destroy the raw data so a second array would hold my scaled data and the original was left as-is.

There are now so many priors on this error (the one about the Start) that I worry when you read a new post about it.
http://www.tenforums.com/general-discussion/8823-critical-error-start-menu-cortana-arent-working-wll-try-fi.html found it could be the AV.
For me, now with dozens of W10 upgrades done without a single hitch I think MSFT has done well EXCEPT expecting folk to practice safe computing.

All my W10 upgrades were done run of the mill methods. I know that old AVs and such can be trouble so I uninstall those before the upgrade begins. Your new PC users may have much feat about running a PC without an antivirus or firewall. Not much you can do for those that fear.

As to the other drive. I wonder if the usual happened. I find that apps on other drives may lose their entries in the start menu. To me that's no big deal. And yes it's a big deal to new computer users.

Sorry about that. I was guessing you are on a win32/64 app. Let's hear a little more detail. The user32.dll should work but of course not on non-windows.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Small world. I've done some commercial designs in analog, digital CCTV and well, more. But to solve this we need to know more about the existing "plant". For example how do they use this today to send content to the rooms?

It's it's some old CCTV cable system most had an external input jack for composite video and audio, some wanted it on channel 3 or 4 which you find an old camcoder with video out or a camera if you must then wire it up. If it needs channel 3 or 4 look up the TecNec 203-101
RF Modulator, F/Channels 3-4 (20 bucks.)

As you can imagine there are no computers involved in those old systems. I find folk new to this taken aback how it was done back then.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Your approach will only work with 3 lines. You need to step back and work on it with a new design.

Think of writing it as if it was one line in the text file but you don't know how many tests there will be.

Sounds hard but the clue was given you in this sentence "Note the weights for each student will always add up to 100."

Aha, now read in the line and parse it, adding the points and weights till your totalweight is 100. Now print out that student result, increment your student count and add this score to your total score for use when you can't read more lines.

Again.

  1. Read a line.
  2. Parse, add until this student's weights get to 100.
  3. Print the student's results.
  4. Add 1 to the student count, add the score to the totalclass_score for use later.
  5. go get another line and do again until no more lines.
  6. Done with students, calculate the average for the class and print out that detail.

My thought on researching this one. I recall that's in User32.dll so this:

For this to work, the modem would have to be one of those with a built in router.
So the usual gaffe for this setup is as isomerase noted when the second router is wired using the second router's WAN port.

That would cause your issues. To fix this I move the Ethernet to the LAN port and configure the second router as a WAP.

Now the systems are all on the same LAN.

It's a good question. I think it gets hits about getting help with coding but then the newest of the new type in their homework without even trying. Some will rebuke folk as "not helpful" or worse.

I don't mind a puzzling issue or sharing what I've done about this or that over the years but there is a few too many "urgent, how do I write this for my homework" posts.

Maybe Khan was right. Let them eat static? Then again a few members have spot on standard responses to that sort of posts.

On another forum I'm on, I get folk all the time that want to know what part to replace on a non-working TV, receiver, PC, laptop, tablet, phone (you get the idea) and they may get irate over how today's gear may be cheaper to replace (a board to the entire device) than swapping out chips or such. As an electronics engineer I worked on fairly complex boards with full schematics and almost any gear of the day and well, you don't get that schematic (source code?) to consumer gear anymore.

Sometimes you like then stew a while to soften up.

That's a good question. But part of what many can't wrap their head around is that MP3 encoding was not intended to be free. Shocker?

Fraunhofer and how someone stole the encoder is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Going_public but the legal battles followed.

Today you might find it easier to encode it with a call to a LAME or LAME library. Example search.

The thing is, TimeSpan for 24 and over hour discussions are pretty well down. I used this link to find the priors.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

This is not a direct answer but how I would find out what event did it. As you know Chrome responds to "events" so I would have to monitor such events in some app or code. The good news is that CEL (link to follow) did release source code if you need to look how it was done. Noted link is http://blogs.fluidinfo.com/terry/category/browser-extensions/

But here's the thing. You can't be sure if the event was directly user created or say a system event like the OS was rebooted due to a pending update or other. I'm sure you can guess more scenarios that can close a tab where the user didn't click it.

You guessed correctly. My setups have been 1 fan per motherboard fan connection. Beyond that I wire them to the PSU power. But let's guess you want the fans to regulate with some temperature. For that we add a fan speed controller or splitter. How about this one?

To dive into file and record locking, well, that's on the web. It's why FTP as a drive letter is usually only good enough for directory use and copying files around. Many apps won't run or work over FTP as a drive apps.

I'm a pre-DOS person so I have been writing apps that were using file and record locking before and after the heyday of Novell. How to condense it all into this small space? Don't know. But there are other titles out there. My choice was to pay for it. Then again I use FileZilla.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I didn't write Paywire. Payware is software you pay for.

As to the native comment, I didn't find FTP capable of record and file locking so why would it do this natively? All the FTP on drive letters have to be incomplete implementations of a real drive system.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Always tell that you want it for free up front. Try the other freebies noted at http://serverfault.com/questions/6079/how-can-i-mount-an-ftp-to-a-drive-letter-in-windows

It looks good except in the areas of where anti-robot-clicking is imposed. There's been a lot of work to stop automated clickers since those are not worthy clicks. I was incorrect to tell you to try it here since well, you know why.

You may have to test this on your own local web site that is clean and not going to block fake or automated clicks.

-> Did you try this with AutoIT?

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

@theonedeal. Now that the VB.NET stuff looks to be done, you can click on things from VB.NET and it need be SendKeys() the work looks to be AS3 code. I don't see any AS3 code revealed here. How to change text on a VB.NET form is well down. If you want to change your Flash AS3 code to change text, I'd start by sharing how it works now. That is, on the Flash Object, "I click on this and type that."

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Just a thought. I don't .show the form until I've hidden or shown the objects I want to hide or show. Line 26 would be after the .hide .show items in my rendition.

WIth that out of the way, what issues or errors are you having?

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Maybe I'm missing something. I thought this was all about how to embed the Flash object then click here and there, then send it text.

--> Maybe you are writing Flash as3 and need a discussion on that code. I may have missed that since I was sharing my experiences in the past.

If it is Flash code that needs a discussion just start that discussion so folk can get your Flash app working.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

If your object doesn't have methods to click and type you may have to do this the hard(?) way.
1. Move and click from VB.NET.
https://www.google.com/#q=vb.net+move+mouse+and+click
2. Type something using SendKeys().
https://www.google.com/#q=vb.net+sendkeys%28%29
3. Be sure your object is has the focus or named in that SendKeys call.

  1. Bail out. Just forget it in VB.NET and craft it in AutoIT. I've pulled up some items like a SWF in a browser and automated it with AutoIT in the past but here, I'm just noting an escape route.

As to a specific one, why not this page (Daniweb.com) Try it on the <DANIWEB> link. And remember that browser settings can thwart this action. I can disable, cause it to open tab or window.

At this point, now that you are squarely into the non-deprecated API, I have to wonder if Adsense's "Automated clicking tools," code is blocking you. Your code noted a Bing link which is not something one should normally automate. There's a lot out there about Adsense building in defenses from what you are doing. Test your clicker on non-ad links and buttons.
