Hi all,
I just wanted to ask you all about putting together a series of articles on Latex. Latex is a scripting language used for generating high quality, standardized documents. It's focus is on typesetting the infamously difficult subjects such as complex mathematics for engineering and computer science.
Latex is a standard in most tertiary education institutes and is used by scientists throughout the world. It is widely available for all platforms.
Latex can be quite difficult for newbies and a series of articles would be valuable for those who want to use it.
Please, if anyone wants this series please reply.
Thanks

I have never ever heared of "Latex"...
And stop posting the same message in every message board.
I have already read it in "General Discussion"... 
Don't you also love the code?

LATEX [^] is the standard at most universities. It is intended to provide high-level access to the power of TEX [^] but that is not really important.
The greatest thing about Latex is that it automates tedious tasks such as referencing, cross-referencing, bibliographies, figures, tables, page-layouts, presentations.
While most word-processing apps (like MS Word) can do most of these things, the nice thing about latex is that it is a scripting language so you can actually define new comands and redifine existing commands. There is also extensive resources on the net where you can download additional packages for type-setting code, algorithms, trees, graphs, parse-trees, and so on.
Anything you need typed for engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry (any field really) can be done in latex.

hi,
well I wanted to request a general article on how to design the main page of a db application. I know it might sound weird but u know if some buddy can give us a few guidlines abt what to think of and how to manage the database sections and navigation it would be really nice I think. I'm working on a database project which is quite a big ddatabase and I'm kind of a new bie in this. By now I've managed to learn how to make forms and reports but now I cant figure out how I can give teh users a good interface for navigation u know.
thanks

Hey,
It all depends on how you have planned your project. By this planning I mean have you decided who the project is going to be used by.
If your project is going to be used by a pro (like all of us here on CP) then you could have an interface with some advanced functionality like doing custom queries, letting your user perform SQL queries (but this is always risky), etc.
If your project is going to be used by non-pros (like my mom) then you would want to design the interface to be as simple and self-operating as possible.
Of course, you could always allow both (with a normal/expert tab for example).
This may not be the complete answer to your question but it is always useful to bear these decisions in mind. Making small decisions like these can help you narrow (or broaden) the functionality you are going to provide.
Where to from there? Make a list of the functions that you want to provide. But only include the most fundamental on the main form. Remember, you want your app to be functional but not cluttered. A good rule is, If it is not necessary or will not be used, then don't do it.
The best times in life are the ones that you can't remeber!!!

very briefly,
Visual Studio .Net 2003 comes with Compact Framework support (New Project-->Smart Device Application) and you can use in-built Simulator to run application on host system. You will need Microsoft ActiveSync latest version to connect device to host system with a usb cable. when you build solution, look at Output window to figure out which libraries are invovled. you need to transfer those libraries to smart device and install them. you will find libraries targetting different processors on smart device normally in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\wce400". these cab files need to be installed on device.
hope this will help you get started.

It would be nice to have an article about manipulating the windows taskbar... eg. adding some controls to it / changing the system clock (that's what i'm trying to do at the moment, but can't find any material on how to do it, except an ugly hack proposed by a guy, to get control of it message pump, and paint thingies)... And other stuff about manipulating it. Who has looked into this one as is willing to share it with the "community" is welcome  :->

In what language? Visual Basic?
|
|
|
|
|
C#, VB it doesn't really matter. The important thing is to get the idea to people after that the code can be ported from a language to the other...

ComboBox
or Edit Control with button like ComboBox
- which can display multi-column list
- able to have virtual list to display more than 32736 items (32736 is max limit of MFC CComboBox in Win98)
- which have most of the capabilities of CComboBox (DROPDOWN and DROPDOEN_LIST)
Thanks.

It's really easy if you Google "ITIL" yourself, or just click on this[^].

I assume you mean you want to program a microcontroller in C#. If so, bad luck unless Microsoft (or a 3rd party) plan releasing a JIT compiler for the device. Even if they did, garbage collection and small devices with limited memory don’t really mix. I’m afraid if you plan to program microcontrollers C or C++ or assembly is the way to go.

Not like me to request an article since CP is overflowing with everything from barcode readers to ant colonies. But could somebody please either write an article or point me towards something which relates to supporting multiple monitors in C/C++.
I have found only one article on CP which relates to creating a screensaver to span multiple monitors, but after reading the comments I think I should read further on the subject. I am looking for information in the following areas:
1. The GDI, Bitmaps and DC's over multiple screens ( the display settings ).
2. Font's and window sizes, and how they would be effected.
3. Different layouts/setups of 2 or more monitors.
4. Anything which may affect a skinned window being moved from 1 sreen to the other.
Not having a multi-monitor setup myself, it is a little difficult to learn this through trial and error. But I believe correctly supporting multiple screens is a must in todays programing world.
Thanks in advance.

Even if you were to write the software how would you test and debug it for multiple monitors?

I shall have to cross that bridge when I come to it. I'm sure a few friends wouldn't mind lending me a monitor and a PCI card for a few hours which would be more than enough to run a few tests.

If you use scrnsave.lib from the PSDK, your screen saver's window will automagically cover all monitors. Check out my screen saver article[^] for an example. Note that my sample isn't perfect on multimon, if you have 2 monitors with different resolutions (like I do now), some of the graphics will be drawn outside of the smaller monitor's rectangle. I really should update that thing one of these days, since the web service it uses is long gone...
