37,026 | <p>If one Googles for "difference between <code>notify()</code> and <code>notifyAll()</code>" then a lot of explanations will pop up (leaving apart the javadoc paragraphs). It all boils down to the number of waiting threads being waken up: one in <code>notify()</code> and all in <code>notifyAll()</code>.</p>
<p>However (if I do understand the difference between these methods right), only one thread is always selected for further monitor acquisition; in the first case the one selected by the VM, in the second case the one selected by the system thread scheduler. The exact selection procedures for both of them (in the general case) are not known to the programmer.</p>
<p>What's the <strong>useful</strong> difference between <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#notify%28%29" rel="noreferrer">notify()</a> and <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#notifyAll%28%29" rel="noreferrer">notifyAll()</a> then? Am I missing something?</p>

37,029 | <p>It is generally accepted that the use of cursors in stored procedures should be avoided where possible (replaced with set based logic etc). If you take the cases where you need to iterate over some data, and can do in a read only manner, are fast forward (read only forward) cursor more or less inefficient than say while loops? From my investigations it looks as though the cursor option is generally faster and uses less reads and cpu time. I haven't done any extensive testing, but is this what others find? Do cursors of this type (fast forward) carry additional overhead or resource that could be expensive that I don't know about.</p>
<p>Is all the talk about not using cursors really about avoiding the use of cursors when set-based approaches are available, and the use of updatable cursors etc.</p>

37,041 | <p>I have a question on the best way of exposing an asynchronous remote interface.</p>
<p>The conditions are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>The protocol is asynchronous</li>
<li>A third party can modify the data at any time</li>
<li>The command round-trip can be significant</li>
<li>The model should be well suited for UI interaction</li>
<li>The protocol supports queries over certain objects, and so must the model</li>
</ul>
<p>As a means of improving my lacking skills in this area (and brush up my Java in general), I have started a <a href="http://Telharmonium.devjavu.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">project</a> to create an Eclipse-based front-end for <a href="http://xmms2.xmms.se" rel="nofollow noreferrer">xmms2</a> (described below).</p>
<p>So, the question is; how should I expose the remote interface as a neat data model (In this case, track management and event handling)?</p>
<p>I welcome anything from generic discussions to pattern name-dropping or concrete examples and patches :)</p>
<hr>
<p>My primary goal here is learning about this class of problems in general. If my project can gain from it, fine, but I present it strictly to have something to start a discussion around.</p>
<p>I've implemented a protocol abstraction which I call <a href="http://telharmonium.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/xmms2-client" rel="nofollow noreferrer">'client'</a> (for legacy reasons) which allows me to access most exposed features using method calls which I am happy with even if it's far from perfect.</p>
<p>The features provided by the xmms2 daemon are things like track searching, meta-data retrieval and manipulation, change playback state, load playlists and so on and so forth.</p>
<p>I'm in the middle of updating to the latest stable release of xmms2, and I figured I might as well fix some of the glaring weaknesses of my current implementation.</p>
<p>My plan is to build a better abstraction on top of the protocol interface, one that allows a more natural interaction with the daemon. The current <a href="http://telharmonium.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/xmms2-model" rel="nofollow noreferrer">'model'</a> implementation is hard to use and is frankly quite ugly (not to mention the UI-code which is truly horrible atm).</p>
<p>Today I have the <a href="http://telharmonium.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/xmms2-model/src/se/fnord/xmms2/model/Tracks.java" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Tracks</a> interface which I can use to get instances of <a href="http://telharmonium.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/xmms2-model/src/se/fnord/xmms2/model/Track.java" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Track</a> classes based on their id. Searching is performed through the <a href="http://telharmonium.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/xmms2-model/src/se/fnord/xmms2/model/Collections.java" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Collections</a> interface (unfortunate namespace clash) which I'd rather move to Tracks, I think.</p>
<p>Any data can be modified by a third party at any time, and this should be properly reflected in the model and change-notifications distributed</p>
<p>These interfaces are exposed when connecting, by returning an object hierarchy that looks like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Connection
<ul>
<li>Playback getPlayback()
<ul>
<li>Play, pause, jump, current track etc</li>
<li>Expose playback state changes</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Tracks getTracks()
<ul>
<li>Track getTrack(id) etc</li>
<li>Expose track updates</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Collections getCollection()
<ul>
<li>Load and manipulate playlists or named collections</li>
<li>Query media library</li>
<li>Expose collection updates</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

37,069 | <p>On Mac OS X 10.5 I downloaded the latest version of Apache 2.2.9. After the usual configure, make, make install dance I had a build of apache without mod_rewrite. This wasn't statically linked and the module was not built in the /modules folder either.</p>
<p>I had to do the following to build Apache and mod_rewrite:</p>
<pre><code>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-rewrite=shared
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Is there a way to tell Apache to build all modules as Shared Modules (DSOs) so I can control loading from the Apache config?</li>
<li>Now that I have built Apache and the mod_rewrite DSO, how can I build another shared module without building all of Apache?</li>
</ul>
<p>(The last time I built Apache (2.2.8) on Solaris, by default it built everything as a shared module.)</p>

<p>and </p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>MOVNTDQA <i><em>xmmi, m128</em></i></code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The IA-32 Software Developer's Manual says that the <em>NT</em> in MOVNTDQA stands for <em>Non-Temporal</em>, and that otherwise it's the same as MOVDQA.</p>
<p>My question is, what does <em>Non-Temporal</em> mean? </p>

37,103 | <p>I have a container div with a fixed <code>width</code> and <code>height</code>, with <code>overflow: hidden</code>.</p>
<p>I want a horizontal row of float: left divs within this container. Divs which are floated left will naturally push onto the 'line' below after they read the right bound of their parent. This will happen even if the <code>height</code> of the parent should not allow this. This is how this looks:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/v2x7d.png" alt="Wrong" /></p>
<p>How I would like it to look:</p>
<p>![Right][2] - <em>removed image shack image that had been replaced by an advert</em></p>
<p>Note: the effect I want can be achieved by using inline elements & <code>white-space: no-wrap</code> (that is how I did it in the image shown). This, however, is no good to me (for reasons too lengthy to explain here), as the child divs need to be floated block level elements.</p>

37,248 | <p>While the C# spec does include a pre-processor and basic directives (#define, #if, etc), the language does not have the same flexible pre-processor found in languages such as C/C++. I believe the lack of such a flexible pre-processor was a design decision made by Anders Hejlsberg (although, unfortunately, I can't find reference to this now). From experience, this is certainly a good decision, as there were some really terrible un-maintainable macros created back when I was doing a lot of C/C++. </p>
<p>That said, there are a number of scenarios where I could find a slightly more flexible pre-processor to be useful. Code such as the following could be improved by some simple pre-processor directives:</p>
<pre><code>public string MyProperty
{
get { return _myProperty; }
set
{
if (value != _myProperty)
{
_myProperty = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("MyProperty");
// This line above could be improved by replacing the literal string with
// a pre-processor directive like "#Property", which could be translated
// to the string value "MyProperty" This new notify call would be as follows:
// NotifyPropertyChanged(#Property);
}
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>Would it be a good idea to write a pre-processor to handle extremely simple cases like this? Steve McConnell wrote in <a href="https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/0735619670" rel="nofollow noreferrer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Code Complete</a> (p208):</p>
<blockquote>

<p>I am torn. It was a design decision to leave such a flexible pre-processor out of C#. However, an author I highly respect mentions it may be ok in some circumstances.</p>

37,299 | <p>What's the instruction to cause a hard-break in Xcode? For example under Visual Studio I could do '_asm int 3' or 'DebugBreak()'. Under some GCC implementations it's asm("break 0") or asm("trap").</p>
<p>I've tried various combos under Xcode without any luck. (inline assembler works fine so it's not a syntax issue).</p>
<p>For reference this is for an assert macro. I don't want to use the definitions in assert.h both for portability, and because they appear to do an abort() in the version XCode provides.</p>
<hr>
<p>John - Super, cheers. For reference the int 3 syntax is the one required for Intel Macs and iPhone.</p>
<hr>
<p>Chris - Thanks for your comment but there are many reasons to avoid the standard assert() function for codebases ported to different platforms. If you've gone to the trouble of rolling your own assert it's usually because you have additional functionality (logging, stack unwinding, user-interaction) that you wish to retain.</p>
<p>Your suggestion of attempting to replace the hander via an implementation of '__assert" or similar is not going to be portable. The standard 'assert' is usually a macro and while it may map to __assert on the Mac it doesn't on other platforms.</p>

37,310 | <p>I have developed some classes with similar behavior, they all implement the same interface. I implemented a factory that creates the appropriate object and returns the interface. I am writing a unit test for the factory. All you get back is an interface to the object.
What is the best way to test that the factory has worked correctly?</p>
<p>I would like to know the answer in Java, but if there is a solution that crosses languages I would like to know it.</p>
<p>Number 2. in the answer, would be done like the other answer? If so I will mark the other answer accepted as well and reword my question to adress both a factory where an interface is returned and you have no clue what type of concrete class implemented the interface, and the case where you do know what concrete class was used.</p>

37,317 | <p>I'm working on a windows forms application (C#) where a user is entering data in a form. At any point while editing the data in the form the user can click one of the buttons on the form to perform certain actions. By default the focus goes to the clicked button so the user has to click back on to the control they want to edit in order to continue modifying the data on the form. What I need to be able to do is return the focus to the last edited control after the button click event has been processed. Here's a sample screenshot that illustrates what I'm talking about:</p>
<p><img src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/joe.r.barone/SLs4KZMBqfI/AAAAAAAABNw/P6xtqhCo8Y4/s800/SampleApp1.jpg" alt="Sample App Screen Shot"></p>
<p>The user can be entering data in textbox1, textbox2, textbox3, etc and click the button. I need the button to return the focus back to the control that most recently had the focus before the button was clicked.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if anyone has a better way of implementing this functionality than what I've come up with. Here's what I'm doing right now:</p>
<pre><code> public partial class Form1 : Form
{
Control _lastEnteredControl;
private void textBox_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_lastEnteredControl = (Control)sender;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Do something here");
_lastEnteredControl.Focus();
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>So basically what we have here is a class variable that points to the last entered control. Each textbox on the form is setup so the textBox_Enter method is fired when the control receives the focus. Then, when the button is clicked focus is returned to the control that had the focus before the button was clicked. Anybody have any more elegant solutions for this?</p>

37,335 | <p>I am writing a client-side <strong>Swing</strong> application (graphical font designer) on <strong>Java 5</strong>. Recently, I am running into <code>java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space</code> error because I am not being conservative on memory usage. The user can open unlimited number of files, and the program keeps the opened objects in the memory. After a quick research I found <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc5.0/ergo5.html" rel="noreferrer">Ergonomics in the 5.0 Java Virtual Machine</a> and others saying on Windows machine the JVM defaults max heap size as <code>64MB</code>.</p>
<p>Given this situation, how should I deal with this constraint?</p>
<p>I could increase the <strong>max heap size</strong> using <strong>command line</strong> option to java, but that would require figuring out available RAM and writing some launching program or script. Besides, increasing to some <strong>finite</strong> max does not <strong>ultimately</strong> get rid of the issue.</p>
<p>I could rewrite some of my code to persist objects to file system frequently (using database is the same thing) to free up the memory. It could work, but it's probably a lot work too.</p>
<p>If you could point me to details of above ideas or some alternatives like <strong>automatic virtual memory, extending heap size dynamically</strong>, that will be great.</p>

37,374 | <p>We've just started using LINQ to SQL at work for our DAL & we haven't really come up with a standard for out caching model. Previously we had being using a base 'DAL' class that implemented a cache manager property that all our DAL classes inherited from, but now we don't have that. I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a 'standard' approach to caching LINQ to SQL results?</p>
<p>We're working in a web environment (IIS) if that makes a difference. I know this may well end up being a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/subjective">subjective</a> question, but I still think the info would be valuable.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> To clarify, I'm not talking about caching an individual result, I'm after more of an architecture solution, as in how do you set up caching so that all your link methods use the same caching architecture.</p>

37,375 | <p>We have a whole bunch of DLLs that give us access to our database and other applications and services.</p>
<p>We've wrapped these DLLs with a thin WCF service layer which our clients then consume.</p>
<p>I'm a little unsure on how to write unit tests that only test the WCF service layer. Should I just write unit tests for the DLLs, and integration tests for the WCF services? I'd appreciate any wisdom... I know that if my unit tests actually go to the database they won't actually be true unit tests. I also understand that I don't really need to test the WCF service host in a unit test. </p>
<p>So, I'm confused about exactly what to test and how.</p>

37,391 | <p>Ok, so PHP isn't the best language to be dealing with arbitrarily large integers in, considering that it only natively supports 32-bit signed integers. What I'm trying to do though is create a class that could represent an arbitrarily large binary number and be able to perform simple arithmetic operations on two of them (add/subtract/multiply/divide).</p>
<p>My target is dealing with 128-bit integers.</p>
<p>There's a couple of approaches I'm looking at, and problems I see with them. Any input or commentary on what you would choose and how you might go about it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p><strong>Approach #1:</strong> Create a 128-bit integer class that stores its integer internally as four 32-bit integers. The only problem with this approach is that I'm not sure how to go about handling overflow/underflow issues when manipulating individual chunks of the two operands.</p>
<p><strong>Approach #2:</strong> Use the bcmath extension, as this looks like something it was designed to tackle. My only worry in taking this approach is the scale setting of the bcmath extension, because there can't be any rounding errors in my 128-bit integers; they must be precise. I'm also worried about being able to eventually convert the result of the bcmath functions into a binary string (which I'll later need to shove into some mcrypt encryption functions).</p>
<p><strong>Approach #3:</strong> Store the numbers as binary strings (probably LSB first). Theoretically I should be able to store integers of any arbitrary size this way. All I would have to do is write the four basic arithmetic functions to perform add/sub/mult/div on two binary strings and produce a binary string result. This is exactly the format I need to hand over to mcrypt as well, so that's an added plus. This is the approach I think has the most promise at the moment, but the one sticking point I've got is that PHP doesn't offer me any way to manipulate the individual bits (that I know of). I believe I'd have to break it up into byte-sized chunks (no pun intended), at which point my questions about handling overflow/underflow from Approach #1 apply.</p>

37,471 | <p>The minimum spanning tree problem is to take a connected weighted graph and find the subset of its edges with the lowest total weight while keeping the graph connected (and as a consequence resulting in an acyclic graph).</p>
<p>The algorithm I am considering is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Find all cycles.</li>
<li>remove the largest edge from each cycle.</li>
</ul>
<p>The impetus for this version is an environment that is restricted to "rule satisfaction" without any iterative constructs. It might also be applicable to insanely parallel hardware (i.e. a system where you expect to have several times more degrees of parallelism then cycles).</p>
<p>Edits:</p>
<p>The above is done in a stateless manner (all edges that are not the largest edge in any cycle are selected/kept/ignored, all others are removed).</p>

37,495 | <p>I'm trying to get some stats on how many of the visitors to our website have Silverlight enabled browsers. </p>
<p>We currently use Google Analytics for the rest of our stats so ideally we'd like to just add 'Silverlight enabled' tracking in with the rest of our Google Analytics stats. But if it has to get written out to a DB etc then so be it. </p>
<p>Nikhil has <a href="http://www.nikhilk.net/Silverlight-Analytics.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">some javascript</a> to Silverlight tracking to Google Analytics. I have tried this code but Google Analytics doesn't pick it up.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any other ideas/techniques?</p>

37,501 | <p>Thanks to a Q&A on stackoverflow. I just found out how to determine the installed version on my hosting provider's server. Now I need to know what that number means.</p>
<p>Using <code><%=Environment.Version%></code> on my local machine returns 2.0.50727.3053.</p>
<p>Can someone give me a list of the version 1, 1.1, 2, etc. to the actual <code>Environment.Version</code> codes or break down what that code means?</p>

37,525 | <p>Imagine we have a program trying to write to a particular file, but failing.</p>
<p>On the Windows platform, what are the possible things which might be causing the file to be un-writable, and what steps could be suggested to an end user/administrator to fix it.</p>
<hr />
<p>Please include steps which might require administrator permissions (obviously users may not be administrators, but for this question, let's assume they are (or can become) administrators.</p>
<p>Also, I'm not really familiar with how permissions are calculated in windows. - Does the user need write access to each directory up the tree, or anything similar to that?</p>

37,529 | <p>I'd like to pull a stream of PCM samples from a Mac's line-in or built-in mic and do a little live analysis (the exact nature doesn't pertain to this question, but it could be an FFT every so often, or some basic statistics on the sample levels, or what have you).</p>
<p>What's a good fit for this? Writing an AudioUnit that just passes the sound through and incidentally hands it off somewhere for analysis? Writing a JACK-aware app and figuring out how to get it to play with the JACK server? Ecasound?</p>
<p>This is a cheesy proof-of-concept hobby project, so simplicity of API is the driving factor (followed by reasonable choice of programming language).</p>

37,535 | <p>I've got a bunch of FoxPro (VFP9) DBF files on my Ubuntu system, is there a library to open these in Python? I only need to read them, and would preferably have access to the memo fields too.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: Thanks @cnu, I used Yusdi Santoso's <a href="http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/santoso/dbf.py.src" rel="noreferrer"><code>dbf.py</code></a> and it works nicely. One gotcha: The memo file name extension must be lower case, i.e. <code>.fpt</code>, not <code>.FPT</code> which was how the filename came over from Windows.</p>

37,551 | <p>I have a problem with an application running on Fedora Core 6 with JDK 1.5.0_08.</p>
<p>After some amount of uptime (usually some days) threads begin getting stuck in native methods.</p>
<p>The threads are locked in something like this:</p>
<pre><code>"pool-2-thread-2571" prio=1 tid=0x08dd0b28 nid=0x319e waiting for monitor entry [0xb91fe000..0xb91ff7d4]
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors0(Native Method)

<p>or</p>
<pre><code>"pool-2-thread-2547" prio=1 tid=0x75641620 nid=0x1745 waiting for monitor entry [0xbc7fe000..0xbc7ff554]
at sun.misc.Unsafe.defineClass(Native Method)
</code></pre>
<p>Especially puzzling to me is this one:</p>
<pre><code>"HealthMonitor-10" daemon prio=1 tid=0x0868d1c0 nid=0x2b72 waiting for monitor entry [0xbe5ff000..0xbe5ff4d4]
at java.lang.Thread.dumpThreads(Native Method)
at java.lang.Thread.getStackTrace(Thread.java:1383)
</code></pre>
<p>The threads remain stuck until the VM is restarted.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me an idea as to what is happening here, what might be causing the native methods to block?
The monitor entry address range at the top of each stuck thread is different. How can I figure out what is holding this monitor?</p>

37,586 | <p>Our application is interfacing with a lot of web services these days. We have our own package that someone wrote a few years back using UTL_HTTP and it generally works, but needs some hard-coding of the SOAP envelope to work with certain systems. I would like to make it more generic, but lack experience to know how many scenarios I would have to deal with. The variations are in what namespaces need to be declared and the format of the elements. We have to handle both simple calls with a few parameters and those that pass a large amount of data in an encoded string.</p>
<p>I know that 10g has UTL_DBWS, but there are not a huge number of use-cases on-line. Is it stable and flexible enough for general use? <a href="http://stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/java.101/b12021/callouts.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Documentation</a></p>

37,591 | <p>I would like to display details of an xml error log to a user in a winforms application and am looking for the best control to do the job.</p>
<p>The error data contains all of the sever variables at the time that the error occurred. These have been formatted into an XML document that looks something to the effect of:</p>
<pre><code><error>
<serverVariables>
<item>
<value>
</item>
</serverVariables>
<queryString>
<item name="">
<value string="">
</item>
</queryString>
</error>
</code></pre>
<p>I would like to read this data from the string that it is stored in and display it to the user via a windows form in a useful way. XML Notepad does a cool job of formatting xml, but is not really was I am looking for since I would prefer to rather display item details in a <em>Name : string</em> format.</p>
<p>Any suggestions or am I looking and a custom implementation?</p>
<p>[EDIT] A section of the data that needs to be displayed:</p>
<pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

37,649 | <p>I have a MySQL table with coordinates, the column names are X and Y. Now I want to swap the column values in this table, so that X becomes Y and Y becomes X. The most apparent solution would be renaming the columns, but I don't want to make structure changes since I don't necessarily have permissions to do that.</p>
<p>Is this possible to do with <b>UPDATE</b> in some way? <b>UPDATE table SET X=Y, Y=X</b> obviously won't do what I want.</p>
<hr>
<p>Edit: Please note that my restriction on permissions, mentioned above, effectively prevents the use of ALTER TABLE or other commands that change the table/database structure. Renaming columns or adding new ones are unfortunately not options.</p>

37,665 | <p>When <strong>Eclipse</strong> creates a new file (<strong>.c</strong> or <strong>.h</strong> file) in a C project the editor always auto creates a <code>#define</code> at the top of the file like this: If the file is named 'myCFile.c' there will be a <code>#define</code> at the start of the file like this</p>
<pre><code>#ifndef MYCFILE_C_
#define MYCFILE_C_
</code></pre>
<p>I have seen other editors do this as well (Codewright and SlikEdit I think).
The <code>#defines</code> don't seem to do anything for the editor as I can just delete them without any problem, and I can't think of a reason why <em>I</em> would want to use them. Does anyone know why they are there? </p>

<pre><code>$draw = new Draw;
$nav = $draw->wideHeaderBox().
$draw->left().
$draw->image().
Image::get($image,60,array('id'=>'header_image')).
$draw->imageEnd().
$draw->leftEnd().
$draw->left(10).
'<div id="header_text">'.
self::defaultSectionText().
'</div>'.
$draw->leftEnd().
</code></pre>
<p>and so on (this is in the controller btw). Now his arguments for this actually make some sense, he claims that if there is a redesign all we need to do is change the HTML in one place and it changes everywhere automatically. For some reason however, this method still rubs me the wrong way, is there any merit to views over this method? I mean besides not having to retype HTML by hand.</p>

37,743 | <p>I'd like to find the different ways to solve a real life problem I had: imagine to have a contest, or a game, during which the users collect points. You have to build a query to show the list of users with the best "n" scores. </p>
<p>I'm making an example to clarify. Let's say that this is the Users table, with the points earned:</p>
<pre><code>UserId - Points
1 - 100
2 - 75
3 - 50
4 - 50
5 - 50
6 - 25
</code></pre>
<p>If I want the top 3 scores, the result will be:</p>
<pre><code>UserId - Points
1 - 100
2 - 75
3 - 50
4 - 50
5 - 50
</code></pre>
<p>This can be realized in a view or a stored procedure, as you want. My target db is Sql Server. Actually I solved this, but I think there are different way to obtain the result... faster or more efficent than mine.</p>

37,920 | <p>I have developed a COM component (dll) that implements an Edit() method displaying a WTL modal dialog.</p>
<p>The complete interface to this COM component corresponds to a software standard used in the chemical process industry (CAPE-OPEN) and as a result this COM component is supposed to be usable by a range of 3rd party executables that are out of my control.</p>
<p>My component works as expected in many of these EXEs, but for one in particular the Edit() method just hangs without the dialog appearing.</p>
<p>However, if I make a call to <code>::MessageBox()</code> immediately before <code>DoModal()</code> the dialog displays and behaves correctly after first showing the MessageBox.</p>
<p>I have a suspicion that the problem may be something to do with this particular EXE running as a 'hidden window application'.</p>
<p>I have tried using both NULL and the return value from <code>::GetConsoleWindow()</code> as the dialog's parent, neither have worked.</p>
<p>The dialog itself is an ATL/WTL CPropertySheetImpl.</p>
<p>The parent application (EXE) in question is out of my control as it is developed by a (mildly hostile) 3rd party.</p>
<p>I do know that I can successfully call <code>::MessageBox()</code> or display the standard Windows File Dialog from my COM component, and that after doing so I am then able to display my custom dialog. I'm just unable to display my custom dialog without first displaying a 'standard' dialog.</p>
<p>Can anyone suggest how I might get it to display the dialog without first showing an unnecessary MessageBox? I know it is possible because I've seen this EXE display the dialogs from other COM components corresponding to the same interface.</p>

<p>I'm currently reading it from a file on disk, populating it, then saving it back out to disk after populating it. I reference the <code>XSLT</code> in the template, and the <code>CSS</code> in the <code>XSLT</code> and then use the <code>WebBrowser.Navigate([filename])</code> method to display the XML file.</p>
<p>Obviously, when I come to deploy this app, it'll break horribly as the file won't exist on disk, and I won't be able to reference the <code>XSLT</code> and <code>CSS</code> files in the <code>XML</code> file as they'll be resources. I'm planning to include the template as a resource, but can't find a neat way to proceed from there.</p>

pEvent->WaitForCompletion(INFINITE, &evCode); // Wait till it's done.
// Find the required buffer size.

38,027 | <p>Both are mathematical values, however the float does have more precision. Is that the only reason for the error - the difference in precision? Or is there another potential (and more serious) problem?</p>

38,035 | <p>I'm building a basic search functionality, using LIKE (I'd be using fulltext but can't at the moment) and I'm wondering if MySQL can, on searching for a keyword (e.g. WHERE field LIKE '%word%') return 20 words either side of the keyword, as well?</p>

38,037 | <p>In my C++ program I want to parse a small piece of XML, insert some nodes, then extract the new XML (preferably as a <code>std::string</code>).<br>
<a href="http://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RapidXml</a> has been recommended to me, but I can't see how to retrieve the XML back as a text string.<br>
(I could iterate over the nodes and attributes and build it myself, but surely there's a build in function that I am missing.)<br>
Thank you.</p>

38,057 | <pre><code>@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
public class Problem {
@ManyToOne
private Person person;
}
@Entity
@DiscriminatorValue("UP")
public class UglyProblem extends Problem {}
@Entity
public class Person {
@OneToMany(mappedBy="person")
private List< UglyProblem > problems;
}
</code></pre>
<p>I think it is pretty clear what I am trying to do. I expect @ManyToOne person to be inherited by UglyProblem class. But there will be an exception saying something like: "There is no such property found in UglyProblem class (mappedBy="person")".</p>
<p>All I found is <a href="http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-558" rel="noreferrer">this</a>. I was not able to find the post by Emmanuel Bernard explaining reasons behind this. </p>
<hr>
<blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, according to the Hibernate documentation "Properties from superclasses not mapped as @MappedSuperclass are ignored."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Well I think this means that if I have these two classes:</p>
<pre><code>public class A {
private int foo;
}
@Entity
public class B extens A {
}
</code></pre>
<p>then field <code>foo</code> will not be mapped for class B. Which makes sense. But if I have something like this:</p>
<pre><code>@Entity
public class Problem {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
private String name;
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
@Entity
public class UglyProblem extends Problem {
private int levelOfUgliness;
public int getLevelOfUgliness() {
return levelOfUgliness;
}
public void setLevelOfUgliness(int levelOfUgliness) {
this.levelOfUgliness = levelOfUgliness;
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>I expect the class UglyProblem to have fileds <code>id</code> and <code>name</code> and both classes to be mapped using same table. (In fact, this is exactly what happens, I have just checked again). I have got this table:</p>
<pre><code>CREATE TABLE "problem" (
"DTYPE" varchar(31) NOT NULL,
"id" bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
"name" varchar(255) default NULL,
"levelOfUgliness" int(11) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ("id")
) AUTO_INCREMENT=2;
</code></pre>
<p>Going back to my question:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I expect @ManyToOne person to be inherited by UglyProblem class.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I expect that because all other mapped fields are inherited and I do not see any reason to make this exception for ManyToOne relationships.</p>
<hr>
<p>Yeah, I saw that. In fact, I used Read-Only solution for my case. But my question was "Why..." :). I know that there is an explanation given by a member of hibernate team. I was not able to find it and that is why I asked.</p>
<p>I want to find out the motivation of this design decision.</p>
<p>(if you interested how I have faced this problem: I inherited a project built using hibernate 3. It was Jboss 4.0.something + hibernate was already there (you'd download it all together). I was moving this project to Jboss 4.2.2 and I found out that there are inherited mappings of "@OneToMany mappedBy" and it worked fine on old setup...)</p>

38,068 | <p>Is there any shorthand way of defining and using generic definitions without having to keep repeating a particular generic description such that if there is a change I don't have to change all definitions/usages though out the codebase for example is something like this possible:</p>
<pre><code>Typedef myGenDef = < Object1, Object2 >;
HashMap< myGenDef > hm = new HashMap< myGenDef >();
for (Entry< myGenDef > ent : hm..entrySet())
{

38,074 | <p>If you create an Oracle dblink you cannot directly access LOB columns in the target tables.</p>
<p>For instance, you create a dblink with:</p>
<pre><code>create database link TEST_LINK
connect to TARGETUSER IDENTIFIED BY password using 'DATABASESID';
</code></pre>
<p>After this you can do stuff like:</p>
<pre><code>select column_a, column_b
from data_user.sample_table@TEST_LINK
</code></pre>
<p>Except if the column is a LOB, then you get the error:</p>
<pre><code>ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
</code></pre>
<p>This is <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96591/adl04mng.htm#98328" rel="noreferrer">a documented restriction</a>.</p>
<p>The same page suggests you fetch the values into a local table, but that is... kind of messy:</p>
<pre><code>CREATE TABLE tmp_hello
AS SELECT column_a
from data_user.sample_table@TEST_LINK
</code></pre>
<p>Any other ideas?</p>

38,081 | <p>I need to create a quick-n-dirty knob control in Visual Basic 2005 Express, the value of which is incremented/decremented by "grabbing" it with the mouse and moving the cursor up/down. Because the knob itself doesn't move, I need to keep tracking the mouse movement outside of the rectangle of the control.</p>
<p>I use a <code>Label</code> with an <code>ImageList</code> to implement this (I have a list of 127 bitmaps representing the knob in various positions).</p>
<p>Which events should I react to?</p>

38,160 | <p>Lets say I have a loop in Bash:</p>
<pre><code>for foo in `some-command`
do
do-something $foo
done
</code></pre>
<p><code>do-something</code> is cpu bound and I have a nice shiny 4 core processor. I'd like to be able to run up to 4 <code>do-something</code>'s at once.</p>
<p>The naive approach seems to be:</p>
<pre><code>for foo in `some-command`
do
do-something $foo &
done
</code></pre>
<p>This will run <em>all</em> <code>do-something</code>s at once, but there are a couple downsides, mainly that do-something may also have some significant I/O which performing <em>all</em> at once might slow down a bit. The other problem is that this code block returns immediately, so no way to do other work when all the <code>do-something</code>s are finished.</p>
<p>How would you write this loop so there are always X <code>do-something</code>s running at once?</p>
