It looks like the JAF is used to find the supporting data types of an object. But I couldn't understand. Please teach me! ...
Is it possible in .Net (or thru pinvoke) to determine if a windows form is obstructed from view (i.e. other windows have been moved over top of it, so it cannot be seen)? What I am doing is checking if the form is minimized, then flashing the window on the taskbar if it is. However the problem is if it is NOT minimized, but just moved t...
I need to attach a transparent, layered window to any application window present in the system, with the added feature of the user not losing the keyboard focus. So I went with the owner method: use GetWindowLongPtr with GWLP_HWNDPARENT and tracking the owner movement with a simple out of context hook (SetWinEventHook). Also, using WS_...

How do you avoid abusers for account systems requiring email activation? Abusers can basically hijack your account activation system to spam someone's (or multiple someone's) email's. The most obvious solution is probably to set a limit of X reminders max per hour or per day. But: This doesn't give the non-abusing user the benefit of th...
How can I get an idle thread to be activated again such that its context is restored and execution continued (like if I want a thread to activate after 10 seconds and then be activated after every 5 seconds, in the mean time other threads may continue running)? ...

My VB.NET app supports several kinds of MDI child forms. Some kinds, but not others, are 'troublesome' -- they cause the focus mechanism to become weird. Once a 'troublesome' child form has been opened, NONE of the MDI child forms will become activated unless I click on either the title bar or the border. Clicking in the client area d...

Any good alternatives to tying software activation to a hardware piece on the machine beside using the MAC address? Using hard drive serial numbers will not work as they are not always available. Machine GUID is also not always guaranteed from Microsoft from my readings. Any other thoughts? This would be using Microsoft API or technologi...

Nothing fancy, just need to make sure that the user won't simply uninstall my product and then install it again when the free trial ends. I was thinking of putting the information in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Uninstall under a subkey like {ECE6CA...

My boss wants a quick, simple to integrate, simple to host software licensing server to enforce license activations and expirations. We have to integrate it with a C++ Windows Service application.
