>Now Christmas is over and it is time to get seriously efficient. Right now I’ve got 30 days, seven chapters and three articles to write before I get back to writing in my spare time. Before my head falls of from all this writing (I have prepared 9 examples and written down all the notes for a chapter of multi-threading today) I just wanted to show a small update to my Acer fix software<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I found a gap in the calendar last week and added a small loop that looks for the window every five seconds. This means that it works regardless of the starting order of the applications. The new source looks like this.<\/p>\n


#include <windows.h>

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hinst, HINSTANCE hinstPrev, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
HWND acerWin = NULL;

while( (acerWin=FindWindow( NULL, \"ACER_GraviSense\" )) == NULL )
  Sleep( 5000 );

if( !acerWin )
  return -1;

SetWindowLong( acerWin, GWL_EXSTYLE, GetWindowLong( acerWin, GWL_EXSTYLE ) | WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW );

return 0;
}<\/pre>\n
Using this you can alt-tab freely without having to run into an invisible window now and then. I wonder if it would be fun calling their help-desk and trying to give it to them as a contribution. :-)<\/p>\n
Another note is that my employer, Bitsim<\/a>, has announced Badger<\/a>. This is a platform that I’m really looking forward to playing with. So if you’re ever in need of an Arm system capable of hardware accelerated graphics you know where to look :-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
