I just read the article series The Life of a Project - Issue Tracking by Matt Gullett, and was very impressed. Unfortunately, it stops at Day 5 with listing the final technical requirements. Matt mentioned having Day 5 posted by the following weekend, but this was back in July of '03. Several others have posted in the comments section requesting to see the rest of the series with no reply since then. I know a lot of us really enjoy the series and find it very insightful. Does anyone know if the rest of the series is up somewhere that we just can't find, or if Matt will get a chance to finish the series? Once again, great series Matt!
Thanks,
Brandon

Have you tried emailing him? I know which article series you are mentioning and, yes, it is a really good one.

This is not the forum for this kind of request. You are better off emailing Chris.

Id like to learn, if anyone is willing to address the idea, specifically how to hook other processes from c#.
An example would be; how to hook minesweeper, msn, wordpad, word, whatever just the basics on hooking.

Have you done a search on CP articles about hooking processes[^]?

Yeah I didn't reall put the AND C# in my query which is probably why I skimmed over these...

No worries, dude.

I'd love to know if anyone can show how to emulate Google Chromes multi process apps in VB.Net. Just a simple form1, form2 or apps1, apps2 example maybe with a 'task manager' as well. I love the idea of if apps2/form2 crashes it wont take out the whole apps. Multi threading, MDI's or adding new forms just dont cut it.
Any thoughts??

While I'm not going to write an article on how to do this, because it's not that hard to do, I will tell you that you do it by loading each form into its own App Domain, so it occupies its own process space. Therefore, if it crashes, it only takes out the individual form. Have a read up on secondary domains to find out how it's done.

"Do not load assemblies that use Windows Forms components into multiple application domains. Windows Forms was not designed to work in multiple application domains and Microsoft strongly recommends against using this approach."
Forms can't be serialised so cant be loaded as a control into another form in an AppDomain.
So.. how do Google get the dipslay on each tab to be in a seperate process?

|
|

Because they don't use .NET - they use C and Java. So, why did you downvote me for telling you that Google use secondary domains? I'm curious, because you aren't exactly endearing yourself to people who try to help you now are you?

I have an application that the user may open normally by double clicking its icon on the desktop, but I also want to add a couple of specific 'short-cut' options to the contect menu that should only show when the windows explorer context menu is opened by right clicking the application's icon. Each of these options will start the program, perform a function of the application specified by the menu option that was selected, and then close the application. Because none of these functions involve working on a file or folder, I don't want these options to show on any other file's or folder's context menu.
My idea is to use command line switches to specify the different application functions, I just need to know how to set up the context menu and limit it to just the application's icon.
If it makes any difference, I am using Vista, but I'll want to also set this up in WinXP.
Thank you.

Wrong Title. Hmmm, that's a bit like someone asking for where the bathroom is and you saying not here.
However, I don't think a request for an article that shows how to set up context menu items that only show for a specific program when its icon is right clicked, is off topic to this Forum. But, if you would like offer the forum that you think this request should go under, I'd be interested.
I've already searched for articals and program examples using "context menu" and none of the findings actually do what I'm looking for. They all seem to deal with adding a menu option to the context menu when a folder or file with a certain extention so that you can run your program on that folder or file when the menu item is clicked. What I'm looking for is different, i.e., only show the menu item when a specific program's icon is right clicked.
Thank you

Maybe I missed something in the OP. Perhaps it was written in Latvian 1Pt font, but there is no mention anywhere that I can see of a request for an article. There was a question on the best way to accomplish the task, but nothing on somebody writing an article on it.

From your comments, I'm guessing that posting a question that asks for information on a topic in the request for article forum isn't sufficiently clear.
|
|
|
|
|
Correct, because it looks like a request for help solving a problem, and not for somebody to write an article on this topic.
|

The distinction between asking for an article on a topic I want to see and have a need for, and asking for help on the same topic isn't clear to me. Are you saying that people should only ask for articles that aren't related to problems. That doesn't make sense. I often buy magazines with articles and even whole books on topics related to programming problems I need information on. Unfortunately, I just haven't been able to find any that deal with my question.
You seem to be moderating this forum, so I suggest that if this forum isn't open to all programming topics that you might want to give the forum a more descriptive title or a forum description telling us what topics may be posted in this forum, and the right way to request appropriate articles.

When you say this: "My idea is to use command line switches to specify the different application functions, I just need to know how to set up the context menu and limit it to just the application's icon.

If you want it to be an article, you have to tell us because we can't read your mind - we can only go on the evidence before us, which said Programming Question. Now, as for which forum to ask this in, it depends on the language you are using. If it's C#, try the C# forum, VB.NET - use the VB.NET forum. C++, choose either the Visual C++ forum (if it's an unmanaged application) or the CLI forum (it it's a managed app).
There - more than enough forums to choose from.

"If you want it to be an article, you have to tell us because we can't read your mind - we can only go on the evidence before us, which said Programming Question"
"which said Programming Question" That's your assumption. I never said this was a programming question. As far as I can tell this forum is for asking for Articles and Ideas that are not tied to any specific programming language, which is why I put my request here.
By the way, from what I've seen on this site, on the internet - in general, or at any of Microsoft's sites, I don't think the context menus can be configured the way I want, i.e., to show a specific option for just one program when that program's icon is right clicked. So never mind on this.
"More than enough forums to choose from" But not this one - seems to be your point initial point, and I think it still is.
"Deja View" - Probably because the post was never atiquately answered.
