In 1990 I worked on my first client/server application. I was amazed by how well organized it was compared to the other stuff we were working on. Brian Ebenezer Enterprises http://webEbenezer.net |

Have you tried saving a tab delimited file with the extension ".xls"? Here is an oversimplified solution that works in MS Office for Mac (11): 1. Export a tab delimited file with the extension "xls", ie "calc.xls". 2. A user can open this file with a mouse click and then edit it. Each time you save thought, a dialog box asks you to continue or not. 3. Import the tab delimited file "calc.xls" to your application. Such a file is displayable with Gedit in Linux or TextEdit in MacOS. Is there a particular Excel functionality you want but is disabled then? Regards, Ev. Drikos |

Windows sends messages to the WndProc() with a RECT indicating what part of the window needs to be updated. This occurs when things on the desktop happen (a window closes, is moved, a dialog goes away, etc). Windows is always maintaining which portions of the screen are "dirty" and need to be re-painted. It sends the WM_PAINT message to your WndProc() function (the one registered with your class and HWND), so you can re-paint it. Typically one of two things happens there: (1) everything that's on- screen is re-painted manually, or (2) a single BitBlt() line is used to blit the buffer you've maintained off-screen manually onto the actual screen. You may want to simply maintain your off-screen buffer and BitBlt() it when required. Or, even setup a timer and only update the screen on your fixed interval of 20x per second, or whatever. There are lots of algorithms. GDI was never designed for high- performance. If you want high-performance, go OpenGL or DirectX, both of which leverage the massive parallel compute of the graphics card far better than GDI is capable. I know you don't feel well, and are struggling in various areas, but we are not your personal blog or source of entertainment. You have to step up and do some of the things necessary to learn on your own. Or, you need to leave the group because if you look over your many posts over the pasts weeks, not many replies, and those people who even tried to reply to you with some helpful information, you attack them, call them names, berate them, make them want to not help you in the slightest. And that's just not doing anybody any good. You've called me all manner of names in the past, but look at the effect you have on this group, fir. You harm everyone by your hate on display continually, your rudeness, your posts that are truly off-topic for a C group, and you don't care about how you just roll over everyone like a bulldozer. You're not doing it to serve God, you're not doing it to teach people, you're just doing it because you're bored to tears, not feeling well, and want others to share in your misery. We've tried to help lift you up, and I would even argue we've done so beyond the measure of what's reasonable on average because of the way you've replied to us repeatedly. You're to the point where something needs to change. You need to shape up, straighten up and fly right, or you need to leave. I'm thinking you'll reply with one of your typical insults now, so as to deflect reality away from you and let your imagined fantasy world continue to dominate your reasoning and thinking. But I do ask you to consider this truthfully, fir. Look at the root causes of the pain you have in your life, and address them. And don't be so quick to conclude I'm an imbecile with regards to faith and my teachings on Jesus Christ. Look at the fruit borne by His influ- ence in my life. Despite your many attacks, for example, I still try to help you. I try to contribute positively to this group, and indeed all the groups I'm involved with. I try to be a good "Usenet citizen" as it were, but I also do have a mandate to teach people about Jesus Christ because of who He is, who we are, what sin is, how it affects us, and why we need to be forgiven. If you look at the fruit of my life, and compare it to that of the scripture, you'll see a man struggling, but a man very much desir- ing to do the right thing in all cases, and indeed to lead others to also do the right thing in all cases, and to help put down the fighting, and bickering, and arguing over trivial matters. We are all amazing creations of God, more complex than anything we have even conceived of. DNA is revealing the full complexity of just how complex we are, and it's breathtaking. You are that amazing creation too, fir. Everyone here is. God really does have a plan for your life. You really are the object of His affections. He really does love you enough to want to save you from judgment even though you really have sinned against Him. And I love you as well. I want you to be better, to do more, to have more, to acquire more knowledge and skill so you can possess and occupy those things in your life, and then share them in great abundance with those around you, so that you then also lift them up and receive the reward from God for so doing. Think about your life, fir. Consider these things with a real consideration. Don't summarily dismiss them, but ponder them in your heart. You'll not I'm not asking you for money. I'm not asking you to join my church. I'm not trying to convince you to sell your possessions or decrease your life or anything other than to come to Jesus and let Him guide your life from within by His teachings and guidance. I'm asking you to let Him teach and in- struct you on the ways you should go, because He will take all the twisted, tangled parts and straighten them out, and set your feet on a solid ground, on a solid path, which leads from where you are to where you should be. And He puts men and women like me in your life to help you, and He longs for the day when you are mature enough to then turn around and help us, because we also need help in our lives against that same enemy we all face. And God likes for us to work together as a community, so that He doesn't provide all of the help directly, but we look to Him, and let Him work through us, so He helps each of us indirectly by our choices to go and help others purposefully. I ask you to ponder these things in your heart and see if you can truly find any fault in this goal of loving one another, helping one another from within that love, and recognizing that the full foundations of that love comes solely from our relationship to Jesus Christ, and the changed life He guides us in where we forsake our former ways, and begin anew in the ways He will show us? You will not find fault in it. When you truly ponder it, it will reduce you to tears, crying like the child you haven't been for so many years. You will see the hurt and pain of this world, and know on the inside how it can all be undone, through love, and specifically through the love emanating from, filling us up in, and proceeding out to everyone else, that is from Jesus Christ. He's not a joke. He's not just a religion. He is alive, and He has desires for our lives which are /ALL/ beneficial, and not just for our lives individually, but indeed for all of our lives cor- porately. He's always working on those communities, but there is also an active enemy who does not sit idly by on the sidelines, and that enemy is always trying to destroy everything we begin to build toward God. He works through us, through sin, through the very people we're trying to help, influencing them to live in hate and be mean and say hurtful things... but God is greater, and if we turn the smallest amount toward God and say in our heart of hearts, "God, help me to overcome my weaknesses. I don't want to hurt people, but I want to love and help people," then He will do the rest. It starts with us and our choice. It proceeds from there, either in service to God, or in rebellion against Him. There is no middle ground. We are either fully committed to the Lord, where He takes us through the process of sanctification so that if you look at a person's life over time and chart out their life's activities you'll see an ever-increasing degree of service to the Lord, or you'll see someone who's stagnated and declining in works against the Lord. Please take the time to read this. If you don't want to read it, get a text-to-speech converter and let it read to you. These things I teach are important. They are not my teaching, but come from the things of the Bible, the very teachings of Jesus Christ recorded in written form so we would have a reference to go back to so we are not carried away by persuasive arguments made by others. God has given us that permanent record in antiquity so we would know what comes from Him, and what doesn't. Consider these things. Ponder them in your heart. And be honest before your alone self. Seek the big questions, and require the true answers. Dig deep and press in, and you too will see, fir. God has great plans for you. And I long to see you being that man He created you to be, glowing even in His light, shining out for all to see, not to marvel at you, but to marvel at Him and how He reached in to your life and changed you into this new lighthouse beacon of love and help overflowing. Great things are ahead for all who will seek the Lord, turn from the evil and wicked ways of this world, and seek to influence the world by His guidance, by His presence, by His teaching, so that we are not alone, but we are with God, and He with us, in all the areas we will pursue with our interests and skills, each a part of that larger body of Christ at work in this world, each a member, as it is with our own bodies and all the many parts within, so are we a formed body of service unto the Lord, each one doing our part for that body. Think on these things. And be sincere in that thinking. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

[i already regret i answered to you crap even if that was just stating question and pointing your answer was full of shit - becouse it makes you false meaning i want to confraterate with imbelices, no i dont,)) fir, before you go on with your life as you have been ... I simply ask you to consider these things. Consider them for real. Love, helping one another, teaching one another, giving to one another. Do you really find fault with such things? The Bible advises Christians in how to proceed with those who reject the things of the Lord. It is difficult for us sometimes because we care so much about people. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+9%3A8&version=NIV 8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. It's hard to know who is only a mocker, and who is a wise person that has simply surrounded themselves in a mocker's facade. The Bible and its teachings toward goodness in all areas are summed up here by this introduction to the Proverbs, yet the Bible goes on to teach us about sin, judgment, salvation, and why we need Jesus, along with many other teachings on history, archaeology, creation, etc.: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+1&version=NIV 1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: 2 for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; 3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; 4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,[a] knowledge and discretion to the young— 5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— 6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.[b] ==> 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools[c] despise wisdom and instruction. [a] Proverbs 1:4 The Hebrew word rendered simple in Proverbs denotes a person who is gullible, without moral direction and inclined to evil. [b] Proverbs 1:6 Or understanding a proverb, namely, a parable, / and the sayings of the wise, their riddles [c] Proverbs 1:7 The Hebrew words rendered fool in Proverbs, and often elsewhere in the Old Testament, denote a person who is morally deficient. That word there used for "fear" does not mean terrified, but it is like how you would hold the principal at your school, or the police authority, or the judge ... basically any entity that has authority over you. -- Rick C.
