How do I do this? An example of what I'm trying to do is in MSN Messenger, when someone sends you a message and the window name flashes on your start menu bar.

Thanks.

You can do this using the FlashWindow()/FlashWindowEx() function. Take a look at this article.

I see this is your first post, so few advices:
- break the large problem into smaller pieces
- for each separate problem, use google; find guidelines, answers and read the manuals
- try different solutions and ideas you find and you'll learn a lot
- when you bump into a specific problem and cannot find the answer using google etc place a specific question. Good guidelines found here: Some guidelines for posting questions in the forums[^]

Use a background thread instead to send the mail Rose | [Rose]

Hi everybody,

i'm creating an application using an external liberay that creates a control.If you click on this control it reacts on the mouse click, but i want to cancel this. I want to implement my own mouse click event for that control and cancel the click message to the control. Problem is that the control receives the mouse click event as first.
I tries to use wndproc to implement my own code but still the control receive the click first.

Can this be done by using a hook?
How do i implement this and then cancel the mouse event before it reaches the control??

Thnx

you can use cancel propert of the e arg that is passed to the event handler like this:

e.Cancel = true;

Serialization load/save getting a different HashCode....

Hi there...

I´m facing a strange problem... I made a WebApp which serializate a complex object and save in the bank and load to save time of processor. When the WebApp save and read the object everything goes fine, but If I install one second WebApp in other server the same object is readed but the HashCode is differently from the original...

Anyone has a opnion about that??

Thanks in advance...

This is strange.
You should try to compare and see if they are the same (time stamps and everything)
If you can not find anything override the default Objectt.GetHashcode function and write your own. If you have an id for the object just use return id.GetHashCode(); in the override.

I suppose this is normal behaviour. There are no guarantees that the hash code is the same when retrieved for an object nor that it is unique. If you want to predict the value of the hashcode (for example that it stays the same), you must build your own implementation.

From BOL:
The default implementation of the GetHashCode method does not guarantee unique return values for different objects. Furthermore, the .NET Framework does not guarantee the default implementation of the GetHashCode method, and the value it returns will be the same between different versions of the .NET Framework. Consequently, the default implementation of this method must not be used as a unique object identifier for hashing purposes.

You need to override GetHashCode() and provide your own consistent behaviour.
