This is very cool! Also a bit ironic how DD & FP have been so close over the years too…

Comment on Yet another Syntax Highlighter Update by sravan953

sravan953 — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:05:28 +0000

I want to start a Python-related blog.
How can I add a widget or something like that to highlight code from the client’s side?

Regards,
Sravan

Comment on Oblivion loading slowly? by rich

I did use a couple of pc console cheats (so shoot me) for gold and hammers, and may have confused some S/W sequence somewhere.

i started having the slow (to dead stopped) type of loading from scene to scene after I was at level 25 and had saved about 500 games.
I tried deleting saves down to about 100, didnt work. Each PC save is about 2.5 MegB . My disc is about 90% free.
Did a complete restore on my comp in case it was some external virus thingie, didnt really help either.
Thennnnn, wierd thing that worked was when I did the menu driven test of the sound and video, i found the test built in to the Oblivion game. After listening to the sound test and the couple of video tests, the game ran like a champ.
Now, a week later, the slow load is happenning again. Grr.

Comment on ContextMenuStrip redux by creo

I realize that this page is a bit long in the tooth, but the information here is still valid and I found it to be useful.

In that vein, I thought I would share something that I found that should add to what has been provided here.

Starting in .Net 2.0 there is a property of the contextmenustrip called SourceControl. This property will provide you the last control that the menustrip was activated on. So, if you handle one of the events that fire such as Opening you can use the SourceControl property of the contextmenustrip to determine which control the menu was activated from.

This will allow you to have a single menu that can service a number of controls and the code can have a way to determine which control was the target.

I have the following code in my event handler for Opening:

private void _context_Opening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
Object o = (Object)(sender as ContextMenuStrip).SourceControl;

if (o is ToolStripRichTextBox.ToolStripRichTextBoxControl)
{
_currentObject = o;
}
else
_currentObject = null;
}

And then I have this in the menu click event:

private void _mnuClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (_currentObject != null && _currentObject is ToolStripRichTextBox.ToolStripRichTextBoxControl)
{
ToolStripRichTextBox rtb = ((ToolStripRichTextBox.ToolStripRichTextBoxControl)_currentObject).Owner;
rtb.Text = “”;
}
}

A bit obscure, but it works nicely…

Cheers,

creo

Comment on XNA getting back to basics? by Kermit

Kermit — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 15:58:41 +0000

I recently decided to take a look at XNA after getting the urge to start coding a game again.

Like you I moved into web development and not really looked back since then but I remember Allegro as it was the first proper stint at coding something game-like and I managed to pull off a sideways scrolling shoot-em-up.

XNA definitely reminds me of Allegro and I hope the simplicity and accessibility remain – you never know the dawn of the bedroom coder may emerge again hehe

/me is jealous!

I’m afraid to spend the cash on one for fear that I would *still* not read, and I’d be stuck with a $400 paperweight.
