Who knew how to right click from the Keyboard?

Custom Controls aka User Controls: I create mine in a separate project within said solution and compile as .dll files, or Custom Libraries. It's part of an Enti...re Class I've created over the years dealing with such stuff and Dialogs, etc. Say I want to access an OpenFileDialog, with a Method containing: using(var x = new OpenFileDialog()){ blah blah blah} BUT, I want to make the Method available to other Classes within my Solution, make it Public. BUT, that generally means it can't be made static. Can't be accessed from elsewhere without a second instantiation. BUT, how do you make said OpenFileDialog or RichTextBox or whatev control contain your desired properties and so on without repeating properties in tons of code? With a CustomControl (User Control) then copy in a copy that has those desired settings and other Properties setup the way you intend. Make it a custom control. Add the Reference for it to your other project, create the using up top: 2 Steps, 1) create the Ref by right clicking References in the Project you want to use one of your CustomControls in (in Solution Explorer) and ADD that library / .dll 2) then this using in the header of your particular source code file.) using MyCustomControls; And then call it from the other Project like this: var bx = new ComboBox(); using (var c = new MyCustomControls()) { bx = c.YourCustomComboBox; } Where you've created an auto Property in MyCustomControls: public Control YourCustomComboBox { get; set; } And Set it to your customComboBox in the Class Constructor. public MyCustomControls() { InitializeComponent(); YourCustomComboBox = customComboBox; Bla bla blah } Neat trick, try it! Then simply use bx like you normally would a ComboBox, but it will have your settings and customizations already set! Same for RichTextBox, OpenFileDialog or any other Control. With the Dialogs, the additional advantage of being able to make the Method static really stands out. Gotta love easily reusable code! I'll post a pastebin link to example code tomorrow when I'm on a computer again instead of my Galaxy Note here. Remind me. Peace, JPE

Some said it couldn't be done, which made me more determined to do it. LoL So it's perfected, but I'd need to write a few notes and show the various code involv...ed. If anyone is interested in How to make your Windows Form App load files from Windows Explorer. Not only when launched, but while it is running. First you have to understand a little bit about Processes and threading. Memory Mapped File as Shared memory and creating a System.FileWatcher delegate of file changes Event and the EventHandler. When Smesa is running, I can go into Exploder and select multiple files using shell:sendTo command in the context (right click) menu. The filenames passed into the running App appear as commandline args and can be grabbed using Environment.GetCommandline etc. Then the 2nd instance is recognized by the Mutex and then goes into a secondary special Overload (In Program.Main called Constructor for the App. The 2nd instance turns the commandline back into a string array, then writes the bytes to the Memory Mapped file and exits. This instance cannot use settings (user.config) or non static members. The 1st Instance Watcher Event, sees the File changed and then goes into a very important Process Wait Loop until the 2nd Instance/Process is Fully closed and terminated before continuing. The 1st instance then goes and Reads the byte level msg sent by the 2nd Instance and then Opens the Sent in FileNames > Files in the editor. This all happens really fast. But I also needed to Invoke a Method and use WindowsSynchronizationContext on another, so it got pretty interesting. I'll document the pieces and share the main codefile and snippets of related code such as delegates and Events, the Program Main and Setup. Let me know if you're interested in the Eloquent Solution to this frequently asked question. ***How to send a msg from a second instance of my App to the First instance?*** [Solved]

Right click on your recycle bin but instead of Emptying it, go to the bottom of the context menu and select Properties. You can setup the size and whether or not even bother with moving them to Recycle Bin. (Great for backup drives and like huge videos, etc.) You can do the above for each partition of every volume, setting some up one way and others another way, etc.... And, perhaps the coolest part of this tip, for many, elect whether or not to prompt you for deletion confirmation every time you toss something in the Recycle Bin.

Price Alert! 4TB @ 7200 RPM 6Gbps speed, refurbished often means better than new and economically priced too. But this is an absolute steal for Backups!

I finally got tired of my mouse double clicking when I single clicked, dragging when I didn't mean to etcetera. Weak spring detent from years of use. So I had a... brainstorm and looked around for something springy but small, just a hardware tweak. Right there in front of me, the dental floss loops, I popped one in under the RH mouse button, clicked it back down and have not had one single problem with it since! -Techy See more

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and S9 with Android 8.1 allows for the Edge. (Screen is rounded at the left and right edges.) So once you've turned on the Edge Setting, a...dd Clipboard Edge to that, along with fav shortcuts and Teams, and other utilities. This allows you to go back several clippings earlier than your current copy or cut content.
