Do you know what ?

My views on getting out of the self serving back slapping EU have not changed a bit.

I am now only waiting for the day when my vote didnt count again.

A frame buffer is basically an area of memory.

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

There is the thing. If you span your displays you get a frame buffer for each and you can do what you like with it.

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Well..

Think you are stuck.W10 now understands cloned displays and only gives you one frame buffer.

Without support from a special driver you are stuck. Sorry ?

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Oh yes, I am really inviting comments about that ?

Please forgive me if i have been a bit slow but this only just sunk in.

Calling methods in C is the same as calling a function.

In C++ you can call a class or a function and they make a clear distinction. Saying you called a method usually means you called function.

In the Microsoft docs they just call either a method.

Windows now handles cloned screens and as was said above a clone is a clone. Until recently dual screens were handled by the graphics card driver with things like Dual view. May be worth having a look in your graphics card control though.

I was looking at that 3 deal too. Unfortunately I was looking at it with envy. 3’s 4G coverage at my flat is patchy but O2’s is rock solid so if 3’s coverage improves or O2 start offering unlimited data then its goodbye landline.

The only error in the above that I can find is that you can’t start with an empty project and include the precompiled header at the same time. Just start with the empty project.

At last. A nice clear explanation of how to properly open a desktop window using just C/C++ and the Windows API.

A spot of post overlap there ?

The only way to see if it would really work then is to give it a go and sadly I cant due to lack of Pi ?

Linux development with C++ in Visual Studio

Above is the direct link to the Linux getting started blog.

As long as the Pi is running a supported version of Linux then it should work. The actual compilation is done on the target machine via a network link. If I had a Pi I would test it but the only one I ever had broke last year ?

On the other hand you could approach it from the other direction, from the comfort of your Windows PC ?

Lets get this straight once and for all shall we ? There IS NO POINT trying teach ANYTHING to someone who cant write or spell properly ! I mean whats the point if they cant put it down on paper ? They must practice practice practice to the exclusion of all else, including some break time, until they get it right !

I know that to be true because my parents and I were told it so often during my time at primary school.

The sad fact is I have a specific learning difficulty with writing which means I never “over learn” it. To this day I have to concentrate on “drawing” every letter and the result is still poor. As a result of this I never got much practice at spelling because my brainpower was tied up with writing. English spelling is also a nonsense and my brain has trouble remembering things that follow no rules anyway.

No amount of practice has improved my handwriting but now that I can just type things my spelling has improved greatly, at least enough for the spell checker to understand anyway ?

Business is unsure because we have not left yet and unemplyment is the lowest since the 70’s ?

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

I think I put up Forumite co ltd inc for just this kind of thing ?

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Ah yes you can. But with classes forming containers for types I want to know what happens inside them. Call me nosey ?

Anyway getting the book ?

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

I think he has a point about separating computer science from programming .  Blue sky from useful ?

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

No chance of me re wrighting an STL anytime soon but I can add my own operators with a new constructor. I think ?
