Just managed 81wpm, no mistakes. I'm exhausted.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

It has a nice message.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

I got 53 but i cheated which i dont think counts :icon_cheesygrin:

How did you cheat? :P

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

An admin will need to do it. And you can only generally change it once.

Mine's been changed twice ;) even if it was only by a letter or two each time.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

You're a complete noob. (Probably very , very young.. )
Newsgroups (Usenet) is by far the best place on the Web, for more than 20 years !
There are the greatest Win32 gurus, MS consultants, some of Windows creators, and best-sellers authors in the world (you can even find Bjarne Stroustrup himself...)
Aaaaaaah... those kids who know nothing...

I've come to the conclusion that both you and mika_ are the same person.

Aaaaaaah... those kids who know nothing...

You know nothing, all you know how to do is link to crappy newsgroups, and every last one of us looks forward to the day that you leave, nobody wants you here.

The Pirate Bay is not a Warez site, it's a Torrent Tracker, and carries a wide selection of legal content, such as the movie Nasty Old People which is being torrented by it's Director, Hanna Sköld (note that the movie is in Swedish with English subtitles). A lot of people are using The Pirate Bay as a content distribution platform now, including Nine Inch Nails who torrented their last album there.

The rules go:

do not post anything warez related

The pirate bay primarily links to torrent files (almost always to illegal files), "anything warez related" covers alot, including your link.

About to have a large spicy pepperoni, mushroom and ham soft crust domino pizza :icon_razz:
and a coke.

mmm, I'm getting bad rep now

You can expect it :P
It's a good thing you want to help, but to really help the OP you have to make him learn something, giving him the answer is ultimately making him dumber when he gets his next piece of homework.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

My bad :( Ahh, I bet it isn't even right anyway, I haven't even tried to compile it. xD

Never give code to anyone who doesn't show effort, you're just helping him cheat.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Glad to see you got it working :icon_lol:
You're welcome.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Don't know, if you did everything I said it should have worked.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

You're missing two sets of end curly braces, change the end to this:

private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
                  form2 ^secondForm = gcnew form2();
                  this->Hide();
                  secondForm->Show();
            }
      };
}

Try to keep your formatting tidy, hope this helps.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Could you tell me more exactly in what file and in what place in that file I should copy that code? Or just what event handler is?

When you double click your button in designer mode, it takes you to the code that's executed once it's pressed, It would look something like this:

private: System::Void mybutton_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) {
    Form2 ^secondForm = gcnew Form2();
    this->Hide();
    secondForm->Show();
}
William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Looks good to me.

Okay, now at the top up your header file Form1.h, add the code:

#include "Form2.h"

and to hide the current form and open the new one, place this code in the event handler of the Next button on Form1:

Form2 ^secondForm = gcnew Form2();
this->Hide();
secondForm->Show();

Be weary, one of your forms is named form1 and the other Form2, remember C++ is case sensitive.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

If it didn't allow you, that's because its probably already been taken. Try the same name slightly changed, for example, you would probably find Assim2 works, but be creative.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Remember, you're using managed C++, so you need to use managed types.

String^ ba = "41516.7095211088";
Double bb = Convert::ToDouble( ba );
Int32 rounded = (Int32)Math::Round( bb );
MessageBox::Show( rounded.ToString() );
William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Wrong forum, no code tags and no specific question. Once again, you fail.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Very vague, if you mean on a console window, then your best bet would be to use a library such as nCurses.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Yes, merge them, all you have to do as far as i know is rename the second form to "Form2" and copy it to the first project. Once you've done that, linking them together isn't too hard.

Try that first.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

let's see a hundred wpm guys .. you can do it

If I didn't have to read and write at the same time, I could probably get close to 100, looking at the keyboard while typing speeds you up alot, but you have to look up to see the words.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

That is what I thought you were going to say. Please check your facts before turning people off to a good compiler. Turbo C++ has an up-to-date version from around 2006. As far as I know, it conforms to the standard. If you are going to bash Turbo C++, at least make it clear what version you are attacking and why.

Most of the people who use Turbo C/C++ do so because they want to make use of old headers like graphics.h. and FYI I wasn't bashing, he asked which one he should use and even if Turbo C++ is now compliant to the standard, I would still have said MSVC++ for reasons such as the debugger.

I don't like games. I don't have a free time even a single minute in these days. How can i play games. But when i 'll free than i 'll try to play these falsh games.

Yet you clearly have time for the geeks' lounge..

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Why not?

It's ancient and there's just so many reasons to use an up-to-date compiler, can't be bothered listing them.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

He doesn't even deserve that :icon_rolleyes:

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Don't use Turbo C, I would go for Microsoft Visual C++.

You show no effort == We show no effort.
Give us your current attempt, and a specific problem, then we'll help.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

A great way to help us quickly understand what you mean.. post what you would expect your output to be once you've finished, and work backwards from there, it just seems slightly vague at the moment.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

oh well i guess no help on here then.
instead of outright just gettin on someone i think yall shouldnt be as harsh.... u coulda at least tell me where to start first i didnt say write the whole thing for me.

What did you expect? You copy your question here word for word and expect a solution?
The first thing you do on any new forum is read the rules, you didn't show any effort.

We're here to help you with more specific problems, so show us what you have so far, and exactly what you're stuck with.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

I hate it when they write the assignment word for word and don't even try to venture a guess.

Yup, he should just keep watching this until he gets the message.

If it's an std::string, do mystr.c_str() to get a character array, to access an individual character, do mystr[[B]charIndex[/B]]. This is all over the web, try searching first.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

OKOK,, fine, you made your point. i am going to the black market to get some help.....

Oh, I've heard that plenty of times, good luck, dont get caught.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

What part of no don't you understand, it's against the rules, we can't help you do that.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

That would still be helping you. What's wrong with you? it's just a Dog talk forum, get over it.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

all the Letters and words came out looking like Arabic or something ?????? very odd. so the webmaster had to shut down the site. couldn't fix it or anything.. it was awful. do you know how to do it ???

If it's awful, then you don't need to know how.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

I'm a newbie with application building.

In that case, here's the project, this is way past your level of coding :icon_lol: You can still give it a shot, but the code's there if you want it.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

I'd supply you with the source code, but that would take away the fun in it, wouldn't it? :icon_cheesygrin:
I used C++ to make this, there's 4 things I used most:

  • Threads
  • Vectors
  • Windows Hooks
  • Timers, mainly the Sleep function

But if you want the code, I'll give you it.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Yep. If you donate or are staff, they go away. If you have a free account, then you will have the ads. Thats the only way it can be. If we didnt have ads we would have to become a pay-site like experts exchange, and nobody wants that.

Never liked experts exchange, so you're right there. Heh, if you remove the dash from their site, and split it up yourself..
experts-exchange -> expert-sex-change. Gosh I'm immature.

An enjoyable one, make an activity recorder, so it records your mouse and keyboard activity and plays it back at different speeds. I did it once (attached), might be an idea for you.

Or were you looking for something more graphical / fun.. :P

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

My only suggestion is that you do away with the ads for registered users.

They're there for a reason, without them there wouldn't be any funding for the site.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

OK, so Crunchie and PaulThom think I should let myself get screwed again by a company that I have zero respect for, just to make them happy. NOT.

You wont know until you've tried, and until you do, you're in no position to judge it.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

I love how when someone disagrees with you you just ignore thier point entirely

I hate it :P He's nothing but plain annoying, it's like a one way argument, he just keep trying to find more.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

:) My point exactly. Why do you need something which don't yield any result ? It's not about assuming (or not assuming) something.

Well, she has her priorities, do you really need to 'fix' something that nobody will click anyway? Removing the link would require more code, not less.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

Why should 0 be a hyperlink in this case?

I guess Dani assumes that you have enough common sense to not click a link which will obviously get no results :)

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

C++ automatically gives a structure a minimum size of 1 byte, not sure about C.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

If you revived that forum, I would be there all the time! Also, the site's been expanding alot, maybe it's worth giving it another try, after all it's one of the most popular languages available.

William Hemsworth 1,339 Posting Virtuoso

You have to admit, for an 8 year old that's a pretty well presented post compared to some people on here who are in Uni.
Stick to something easier for a while, believe me you're not ready for C++ yet, maybe in 3/4 years, in the meanwhile stick to VB or Flash, you know... the sort of things a normal 8 year old would do ;)
