I love that picture of him! He is so precious. You have to bring him to the house more often.

Comment on ImageDescriptor problem on JFace actions? by Jeremy

Your problem with the button could potentially be related to when you are creating your ExitAction… Obviously I don’t have the whole picture but I’ll vernture a guess anyways. In JFace the Image Descriptor requires the Display to be around. So if you for example called the new ExitAction from the constructor of a JFace Application Window. You would have the Display linked up properly. Because that is when the Shell is created and attached to the Display.

Try moving the code to the configureShell method of the ApplicationWindow. Here you will have the display / shell wired up correctly and it will be just before the shell is attached to the window which is where you want to be. I’ve tested on my end and it works for me if I put it into that function.

Don’t worry about having to give little brother protection. He’s not going to be in school with him. But the thought is funny!

Comment on DataTable.ImportRow method confusion – DUH! by Andy

Andy — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:24:54 +0000

Yes I had the same issue and used the Clone method to resolve it.

I used a datatable.select to populate a datarow array from datatable A then wanted to populate datatable B with the array.

I had to do :
dtA = dtB.Clone

before I could then do :
drArray = dtB.Select(blah)
For Each dr As DataRow In drArray
dtA.ImportRow(dr)
Next

Comment on Eclipse Milestone Build 3.1M6 released; SWT problem? by dsp

Here is what worked for me:

Grab one of the five swt-win32-3128.dll in one of the subdiretories of ...eclipse/configuration. Place a copy of this file in newly created directory ...\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.swt.win32_3.1.0\os\win32\x86 (or in e.g. in ...\eclipse\plugins\).

Add to a Java or SWT Run configuration on the arguments page in the VM arguments box the following line:
-Djava.library.path=${system:ECLIPSE_HOME}/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.${system:WS}_3.1.0/os/${system:OS}/${system:ARCH}
(or -Djava.library.path=${system:ECLIPSE_HOME}/plugins/ if you have chosen to place the file directly in the plugin directory).

Comments: Why do they have to distrubte five copies of the same file? The SWT Run configuration should provide the information I manually added! I created the deep directory structure because it made me feel so much in harmony with the naming conventions.

Comment on Printer issues after Tiger update by Anonymous

I actually am no longer using the HP 5L. I never could get it to work continuously. I ended up getting a Brother HL-2070N and hooked it directly to my network router via ethernet.
I'm sorry that I am unable to help you with this. I believe the HP5L and the Mac are just not meant to be.
