I have Mercurial installed, but can't install TortoiseHg because I don't have admin rights. Is there an alternative that doesn't require (either directly or through dependencies) admin rights? P.S. I'm looking for a stand...
I have some really nice Python code to do what I need to do. I don't particularly like any of the Python GUI choices though. wxPython is nice, but for what I need, the speed on resizing, refreshing and dynamically adding controls just isn't there. I would like to create the GUI in VB.NET. I imagine I could use IronPython to link the two,...

I have already set the autoscroll property of both ...

I have: A folder/directory structure containing mostly media files that need to be presented in a Silverlight app. Future versions may be expanded to allow some non-media files to be presented as well. The typical use case (that I'm tailoring the solution for) is video. The videos (...
Is it possible to (and if so, how do I) make a single program work both as a console application and a GUI version using Delphi 2007?

If you have a QImage wrapped inside a QLabel, is it possible to scale it up or down when you resize the window and maintain the aspect ratio (so the image doesn't become distorted)? I figured out that it can scale using setScaledContents(), and you can set a minimum and maximum size, but the image still loses its aspect. It would be gr...
I have inherited development of a Java/SWT application running on Windows only. One of the feature requests that I need to scope is a Google-chrome-type title bar in place of the SWT windows title bar. The application's tabs appear at the same level as the window control buttons. My understanding is that I will need to: write a Win...
I've written a very simple GUI in MATLAB that will convert temperatures. It is meant to serve as a tutorial for a class of students. A strange thing has happened though. As with any MVC design pattern, there is a model object, a view object and a controller function. In order to set the output field of the GUI (the converted temperat...
