Yeah, you should have called back at 7 AM – when the hangover would have been at its peak

I heard about that! I also got a call from my co-workers at 3am letting me know that I was missing out on the fun they were having.

I’m betting they didn’t wake up as refreshed as I felt this morning though :p

Too bad, James. Apparently all the attendants got a free multi-touch laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed!

Comment on ContextMenuStrip redux by dwarfsoft

Thanks for the info, found it to be great.

Had one note to make that would have given Colin the ability to achieve what he wanted using less code.

You Said “Unfortunately this means you need to either have one ContextMenuStrip per control or figure out a way to determine which control was clicked and I don’t see a real obvious way of doing that.”

This is incorrect. Assuming the controls are similar you can do something similar to this in the toolStripMenuItem1_click handler:

private void toolStripMenuItem1_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CheckedListBox clb = contextMenuStrip1.SourceControl as CheckListBox; // you can even do this to a few different types and see which works, as your code does
Point p = clb.PointToClient(new Point(contextMenuStrip1.Left, contextMenuStrip1.Top));
}
So now point p gives you the coordinates in the actual Control that was clicked on. Which is where your code left us.

Not sure if this is an addition since VS2008 but I can’t be bothered finding a project in VS2005 to test it against.

Cheers, Chris.

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

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,

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.
