MFC drawing transparent checkbox I'm trying to get an MFC checkbox to draw itself with a transparent background, and at this point, I'm going nuts because nothing seems to work. Initially, I figured I'd handle the WM_ERASEBKGND, BitBlt() to an in-memory bitmap and when re-paintin...

About to rage: Importing and working with [test] certificates I'm currently working with some WCF stuff to get myself properly acquainted with it so I can actually write some business stuff in it and perhaps make some money with my skills and ideas. However, I never worked with (self-signed) certificates a...

Learning to play guitar? For the past few years I've wanted to learn to play the guitar, but never really got around to it. I have the time this summer, so I think it's time to appropriate myself a guitar and start learning. However, I can't really afford lessons and the...

I give up... Generating a cylinder I feel really stupid for failing this one, but for some reason I can't seem to wrap my mind around generating a cylinder that falls within the dimensions of a certain segment. Maybe it's because of my meds, but I can't seem to think clearly toda...

Designing a .NET WCF Web service - What to keep in mind? I'm currently in the process of designing and developing a WCF (web) service which is to be used over mobile phone clients(multiple platforms) for various things.

Which eReader do you have? I'm currently considering to get myself an ereader, because I'm getting really fed up with reading ebooks from my laptop. I don't like the screen, and a laptop is way too bulky to use to read in the train/bus. However, I looked at the Kindle, and...

Windows Mobile GUI toolkits? I'm currently in the process of building a summer (prototype) project to try out some ideas I've been toying with for a few months now. The idea is cross mobile platform applicable, but since I own a HTC Touch Pro 2 with WM6.5, I might as well try it...

MFC / WTL: WM_INITDIALOG never arriving :/ I recently started incorporating WTL CPropertySheetImpl (And Page) into our application to support Aero-style interfaces under Windows Vista and Windows 7. It all works, except I now want to change the appearance of the CPropertySheetImpl it...

Webservice communicating with a real-time app? I'm currently looking into developing a little project for myself that relies on sending information over the internet from the clients. So, a webservice comes to mind for doing exactly that: Clients use the webservice to send/receive their info...

Lock / shut down PC after certain times? I'm currently suffering a bit from insomnia, which results in me spending more and more time in the evenings behind my computer, because I cannot sleep anyway. The results are predictable: I get to bed even later and still cannot sleep. I want to...

Booze to get mind off the code I've been suffering from sleeping problems for about 2.5 years now, and probably longer. I remember the times when I just couldn't sleep and either keep trashing about or went out of bed and had my ex-girlfriend complain the morning that I kept her u...

About to rage: Importing and working with [test] certificates It seems it has to do with the permissions on my MachineKeys folder. I can import the certificate into it from the MMC console, and I can give out permissions to it with the winhttpcrtcfg, but using it won't work. I added the certificate in m...

What should I do in Amsterdam? I have no idea about all the touristy things, but I highly recommend that you DO make a trip around the red light district, purely for entertainment purposes. It's a great place to stroll around for about half an hour to an hour and then make your wa...

Eye floaters, health anxiety & motivation (oh my) Heh, I never knew what the hell these things were. I always found it amusing I had some sort of weird wormy things float in my eyes at bright days, thought they were pecks of dust on my retina. I used to play little games with it, rolling my eye...

Learning to play guitar? Thanks for all the advice. A friend lend me her guitar for a few weeks, allowing me to practice and see if I want to buy my own guitar in the long run. If I keep up with it, I'm sure I'll buy one myself. As for tutorials, I took a look at jus...
