Hello everyone,
I am excited to join the CodeProject community. I am new here and eager to explore all the resources and discussions available. My main interests lie in software development and I am looking forward to learning from the vast expertise in this forum.
Could someone guide me on how to post queries and participate effectively ? Specifically, I am interested in knowing the best places to ask questions and any tips for a smooth experience here.
Thanks in advance for your help and I am looking forward to contributing and growing with this community.
Best regards,
Steve

Welcome to CP. You're off to a good start!
As for asking questions, the first thing is to pick the right forum. Have a look, see if your question "fits".
IF nowhere else seems to match, there's always Quick Answers[^].
Also, find any post by @Dave-Kreskowiak and follow the links in his sig.
Cheers,
Peter

So my wife is out looking for patterns - she's a crafter - and has managed to pick up a rather insidious ad dohicky that pops up, claims the end of the world, you need McAffeee (really?), etc. Call this number. In doing my research, I came across this gem on the Microsoft "community" forums:
"Edge can now run in the background due to a new feature, you may wish to turn this off."
Are you elephanting kidding me? Turning this off fixed the issue, but wow. Microsoft, take Edge and stick it where the sun don't shine.

wow, turns out those Microsoft peckerheads have embedded Edge as sort of a default user interface. I've come across postings on support where Edge runs in the background by default. I suspect it is how they push their ad bs to the desktop. So, if your desktop gets hijacked, and you are getting popups demanding you install mcafee, it's because Edge is running in the background. Another example of Microsoft nonsense about security and what not.
I run professional and I f'ing refuse to create a network account so that "all of my devices" are in sync. Hell no. Windows 11 Home makes it hard to do this, Pro is a little better. This weekend's task is to switch SWMBO back to a local account and replace office 365. Doing a quick google search for "how to switch a windows 11 home laptop back to local login" the second result is "Change from a local account to a Microsoft account" 
Consider this a PSA. By the end of the summer, I'll be all unix unless someone tosses me a basket full of cash.

Similar to what i mentioned a few days ago.
I get this message 'Edge is using your webcam', this is with Egde not even being opened.
Makes me feel whether Edge is sending these webcam images to some server, for further use as image dataset for AI.

Is it just me or is it time developers stopped adding those annoying GOT IT? popups everywhere. You're trying to use an app you've used a million times. You open it up, start diving in and..
Did you know you can change
the colour of the menu bar
to a slightly lighter shade of
purple!?!
[ Got it ]
And you can't do anything until you click "Got it". And then another pops up telling you that you can announce you can connect your spreadsheets to your social media account, and you can get notifications you don't want. And that they changed the menus to third-person plural.
I don't care, and you're stopping me from using the thing I'm paying for. And none of this is even vaguely important enough to stop me from doing anything until I acknowledge you.
Has anyone implemented these types of announcements, and if so, has there been a case where, in all honesty, it's important enough that someone acknowledges before they can do anything?
cheers
Chris Maunder

Is there a hidden option to have the app not show these "helpful" tips?

Did you know you cannot disable
these annoying Got it popups?

I'm working on a react project that has a component and related components named filter, filter group, etc. They need a complete overhaul and I was told to create a new set of components so that we can slowly implement the new one. Now I'm having the mental dilemma of figuring out what to name these new components. I flat out refuse "NewFilter" or "FilterNew" because you know it's going to have another iteration one day..."Filter2" seems blah. Does everyone else fret over naming things? What would you pick?
