Well, as everyone seems to say around here: RTFM [Wink]

code:
KiXtart was started in 1991 as a spare
time project in response to the many requests
for logon scripting functionality for the
Microsoft LAN Manager environment. KiXtart’s
simplicity, speed and lack of competition soon
made it very popular with LAN Manager network
administrators.

This was way before my WindowsNT days, I was a DEC VAX/VMS programmer in those days.

Strange,

after posting the last reply I quickly started notepad and started typing to test the steelfocus...

Wasn't stolen...

Typing this message, I received your post and focus was stolen again?!?!?!

So if adding reply and slider then steel focus....

that is what I experienced with the udf version.

btw, your sig lacks one line.
the one about how to find.

you know, when you know something, you don't know everything. when you know where to get the info, the source may be off (dead). when you know how, you know how to get the info from any source any time and by any means.

yep, you don't have the fake form to do the hidefromtaskbar effect, check out the slider.kix

what comes to the pm thing, forgot to comment out the kixforms 2.1.3 ready code. in simple, did put a devel code on there (as it actually is in current)
will fix that in an hour.
leaving to work now.

Shawn: Just saw your comment about being a DEC VAX/VMS programmer!

We still have a VAXstation 3100 up and running [Big Grin]

Jens,

Yeah, I was a VAX/VMS (formerly PDP/RSX/11-M) MACRO32 programmer for the longest time, ever since getting out of college in about 1984 or so ... can still remember using the EDT editor on REAL VT100 terminals - not sure if anyone remembers those old clunkers or not. Remember on or about 1985 getting our first VAX6000 mini into our shop - it had a staggering 64MB or memory - nearly floored us at the time.

It was comforting to know that when I first got into WindowsNT (1997), learned that Dennis Cutler (aka Mr. RSX and VMS) was the guy that architected Windows NT. VAX/VMS is still to this day (imho) the best and most stable OS I have every worked on. Unlike Unix - it had a rock-solid standard for commandline syntax ... was a joy to work with at the time. Anyways, I'm starting to ramble ...

Let me guess though ... this VAXstation is used for some kind of real-time monitoring activity ? We Still have of some old PDP's that are still being used to this day !

Shawn: Sorry to inform you, but you're guess is way off!

We use it for signal processing running custom-written FORTRAN routines.

Basically, we are recording intra-muscluar electrical signals via little wires that we put into muscle fibers utilizing a PC-based data acquisition system. We then transfer the data over to the VAX, run the analysis routine (about 10-15 hours per 10 seconds of data), have students inspect the data visually on the VAX (via remote PC terminal), and refine the analysis.

We also have a group in New Your City and one in Israel do the same thing remotely since it's the last unit alive (apart from the broken tape drive [Mad] ).

BTW, it is a mission-critical system, though, since half of our research is based on this analysis. However, we're currently rewriting everyhting using neural networks and artificial intelligence approaches.
