positionning a MessageBox ZAZA6-Nov-01 22:15 ZAZA 6-Nov-01 22:15  Is there a way to open a message box in a particular place on the screen ??? elisabeth.sever@europlacer.fr Re: positionning a MessageBox Tomasz Sowinski7-Nov-01 0:51 Tomasz Sowinski 7-Nov-01 0:51  AFAIK, the only way is to use CBT hook and respond to HCBT_ACTIVATE notification. If you're not allergic to Visual Basic you may find KB article Q180936 helpful.

Thanks for the info Tomasz... Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain Re: positionning a MessageBox Nish Nishant7-Nov-01 0:52 Nish Nishant 7-Nov-01 0:52  Nope! You cannot! If you are very specific about where you want it to come you can write your version of MessageBox and call it instead of using the standard MessageBox. I am not sure, but there should be something in CP!

B"H MSDN question The_Server6-Nov-01 21:03 The_Server 6-Nov-01 21:03  Hi, All! ======== Is there a MSDN for windows XP ? Thanks. Re: MSDN question Steen Krogsgaard6-Nov-01 22:04 Steen Krogsgaard 6-Nov-01 22:04  Do you mean "does MSDN include docs for windows XP development"? If so, yes it does. Furthermore, the last Platform SDK (now called something else, Windows SDK I think) include everything you need for XP (but not .NET) Cheers Steen.

It is supposed to be the first recursive name. GNU can be expanded like: GNU GNU´s not UNIX GNU´s not´s UNIX not UNIX GNU´s not´s UNIX not´s UNIX not UNIX ..... It was introduced by Richard Stallmann, who started Free Software Foundation and has made countless valuable contributions to the computer society (like emacs). Most of the linux operating system is based on GNU software (although Torvalds gets the honor for the kernel). The reason for creating GNU and GPL (GNU General Public Licence) was to fight Non-Free software (like UNIX), where the source is not available, and the user is bound by his licence. GPL does not prohibit any use of the source, as long as the final product is also released under GPL. There is also a lesser strict licence mostly used by GNU libraries, allowing developers to use GNU compilers (like gcc) to build non-free applications. Re: - What means "GNU"? Maer7279-Nov-01 18:38 Maer727 9-Nov-01 18:38  - Thanks, moliate pal! - Your reply helps a lot. But I still have a question. I still do not understand the literal meaning of GNU (the meaning of letter "G" ). Is it just a joke? - Can you help? - Have a nice weekend, Maer Re: - What means "GNU"? Nish Nishant9-Nov-01 18:44 Nish Nishant 9-Nov-01 18:44  It does not have any literal meaning. It is a word,"gnu" as I already told you, which is an animal's name. Later on, they added this recursive expansion, partly in humor Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org Nish is a BIG fan of Goran Ivanisevic Re: - What means "GNU"?

The central part here is "Not UNIX", which would give an recursive acronyme like '_NU'. One of the few english words that would fit that template would be 'gnu'... Re: - What means "GNU"? Maer72710-Nov-01 18:34 Maer727 10-Nov-01 18:34  - Thanks, moliate pal! - Yep, I think you are right and smart. You must be a fan of UNIX. - Well, another question arises in my head. I do not know why they do not use the UNIX kernel and write a new version of their own. Why not just implement the binaries of UNIX and use the UNIX kernel? It is a nice kernel, isn't it? - Can you help? - Have a nice weekend, Maer Re: - What means "GNU"? moliate10-Nov-01 21:00 moliate 10-Nov-01 21:00  The keyword is "Free software" (guess that is two words). In Swedish there are two different words: "gratis", meaning "free of cost" and "fri", meaning free in the liberty sense. GNU software use both definitions. That means you can do all the things below: (From the GNU hompage) The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. There is a whole family of UNIX-like OS:es and kernels, like BSD, freeBSD, Linux, AIX, XENIX, HP-UX, SCO, Solaris.... Most of them are not "Free" in any definition and does not make the source available. GNU did not write any kernel, but provide a lot of functionality that make up the OS, like the most common shellcommands (Fileutils). Stallman himself is an idealist and don't use any "Non-Free" software. > - Yep, I think you are right and smart. You must be a fan of UNIX. Thanks . I am a Windows programmer, like most of us in here, but I have done some occational Linux programming (and some on "non-free" Solaris). Re: - What means "GNU"? Maer72711-Nov-01 3:01 Maer727 11-Nov-01 3:01  - Thanks pal! - Your reply helps a lot. I still have a question. - What means "es" in your reply? (" ... es and kernels ... " ) - Can you help me, a newbie? - Have a nice weekend, Maer Re: - What means "GNU"? moliate12-Nov-01 2:23 moliate 12-Nov-01 2:23  That was a unsuccessful attempt to find a plural form for OS. I should have written "operating systems" instead.. /*english is not my first language* moliate Re: - What means "GNU"? Nish Nishant6-Nov-01 21:09 Nish Nishant 6-Nov-01 21:09  See http://www.gnu.org/ Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain Re: - What means "GNU"? Maer7277-Nov-01 17:38 Maer727 7-Nov-01 17:38  - Thanks, Nish pal! - After a qiuck view of "http://www.gnu.org/", I still do not find the definition of GNU. - Can you help? - Regards, Maer Re: - What means "GNU"? Nish Nishant7-Nov-01 17:45 Nish Nishant 7-Nov-01 17:45  The word 'gnu' originates from the animal with the same name. I think it is an animal that looks like a deer with long shapely horns. GNU has a recursive definition of Gnu is Not Unix Richard M Stallman was inspired by the 'Not Unix' part and so wanted to have a GNU OS. Right now GNU has all the required UNIX binaries except for the kernel. That's why we have GNU/Linux - which is basically a UNIX distribution with the GNU tools and utilities running on top of a Linux kernel RMS [Stallman] and gang will soon release the HURD kernel which is the GNU kernel. Once that is finished we will have a GNU operating system [no linux] Hope this helps.... Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain
