HowTo: Drop files onto Silverlight controls
27 Μαρτίου 14 05:14 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

I was recently adding drop-files support to ClipFlair Studio, so I had to do some research on the related API that is available to Silverlight apps. Silverlight supports a limited set of Drag-and-Drop interaction with the operating system (supposedly for security reasons, but most probably because of the classic cross-platform implementation pains). For example it […]

HowTo: Remove Skype from Windows taskbar, keep as Taskbar tray icon
25 Νοεμβρίου 12 10:42 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

An annoying feature of Skype of recent Skype versions is that by default it shows an icon on the Windows taskbar apart from the one at the taskbar tray while you’re signed in. This also means it shows in the ALT+TAB key sequence when switching between open windows, which you might not always want to [...]

Tip: Quick way to change taskbar tray icon visibility

Windows 7 has kept the taskbar tray from previous versions of Windows, but is providing a different means of managing which icons always show up and when (e.g. can set a specific icon to show up only if they have notifications, or even to never show up on the tray). When you press the “up” [...]

You must have also noticed that Windows 7 aware applications show common tasks there, while Windows also shows recent files opened by some application even at cases where the [...]

Windows 7 issue: can’t copy filename of files on read-only media
27 Μαΐου 11 12:22 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

Just came across one more case of trying to over-protect users and in the way losing functionality (maybe originally unforeseen functionality, but which is nevertheless useful to many end-users). At Windows 7, Microsoft doesn’t allow you anymore to press F2 or click on a filename to enter edit more for it when the file resides [...]
