Comment... Question: Justin, I think we'd all appreciate even the rough state form of your win32 api programming tips. Will you post it somewhere? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on August 19 2009, 11:38am Reply on August 19 2009, 8:26pm: I'd like to, but it's really in outline form, so not terribly useful... But I'll list a few high level tips here: It's often the easiest to build your application out of plain dialog (DialogBoxParam() or CreateDialogParam()) Use Get/SetWindowLong(hwnd,GWL_USERDATA) (or GWLP_USERDATA for x64) for "this" pointers, if an object owns the dialog. Set it in WM_INITDIALOG, and get it for other messages. On the same token, when the owner object has a dialog, it's good to do the following: The object's constructor sets m_hwnd to 0. The object's destructor does if (m_hwnd) DestroyWindow(m_hwnd); WM_INITDIALOG sets this->m_hwnd to hwndDlg WM_DESTROY clears this->m_hwnd to 0 Comment... Question: How has fame affect your life? Asked by Pipsqueak (67.88.171.x) on August 19 2009, 11:12am Reply on August 19 2009, 8:21pm: I'm not really famous, so not very much. ;) There have been a few times of random people recognizing me, but it's quite rare. Comment... Question: As a independent software developer (for the most part), how do you stay motivated with your projects? How is your work ethic? Asked by nunzio (68.196.39.x) on August 19 2009, 10:00am Reply on August 19 2009, 8:21pm: I guess it's mostly driven by genuinely caring about the projects... I work too much, overall, I think.. though I do find myself able to take a few days off at times. Comment... Question: Now that you're working on Reaper I guess you don't have to work as a fluffer anymore? hehe Asked by Pipsqueak (67.88.171.x) on August 19 2009, 9:58am Reply on August 19 2009, 8:20pm: It's nice when you can do a job that you enjoy... Comment... Question: plz show us some whatever piece of code you wrote just before now, ok?(to make this a question;-) Asked by SayHi (59.151.106.x) on August 19 2009, 7:25am Reply on August 19 2009, 8:20pm: The last thing I committed to SVN wasn't terribly interesting -- it was the start of some code that didnt even do anything, and barely compiled on technicalities (I doubt it would compile in VC2005). That's what you got to do sometimes, though -- flush out the design before it works, just to see if it might work in the end. Comment...
