Rebuilding my home…
As you can see I’ve completely changed my home page bringing together my blog and all my projects. It will be easier for me to have them both available under one page and easy for you to keep track of them (I hope).

File version information
Q: How can I get file version information from my own exe/dll or any other file?
A: The VerQueryValue function retrieves specified version information from the specified version-information resource. To retrieve the appropriate resource, before you call VerQueryValue, you must first call the GetFileVersionInfoSize function, and then the GetFileVersionInfo function.
Bulina rosie si pe carti?
Ceea ce urmeaza sa citesti sunt pure aberatii, opinii tâmpe etc. Daca ai altceva de facut nu apasa pe “Read on” (daca e un rss opreste-te, nu e nimic interesant, trust me )
Avatar Paradise
“Arata-mi avatarul tau sa-ti spun ce fel de om esti”. Cand alegi un avatar si ti-l faci public (messenger/forums/blogs etc) acesta poate spune foarte multe despre tine, despre persoana din spatele acelui avatar. Spre exemplu cine alege un avatar cu Heineken Beer e clar 70-80%:
“Manual” YM Buddy remover
Imposibil sa nu fi avut in lista YM-ului un “copil problema” care nu are nimic altceva mai bun de facut decat sa te sece cu mass-urile lui ca se duce la culcare, ca are nu stiu ce site super tare si la fiecare 5 minute trimite acelasi link, ca va pupa pe toti din lista lui (bleah! 
) etc . Da stiu probabil zici: ” il sterg si-l bag la ignore, easy stuff!”. Dar eu nu-l vreau nici la ignore, il vreau sters definitiv! lista de ignore e ceva de genul: “Il bag in lista de ‘asteptare’ pana se mai racoreste putin, si poate-l scot de acolo cand imi mai aduc aminte”. Ce facem in cazul in care vrem sa rezolvam problema rapid, pe o cale mai “paÅŸnică” si civilizata, fara aplicatiile de gen DenyBud? Simplu: apelam la bunavointa lui pentru a-l “manipula si hipnotiza”, o sa te stearga in 2 secunde din lista lui 
nu crezi? uite dovada:
Sorting a ListView
Here is how you can use the OnColumnClick and OnCompare events of a TListView to let users sort the columns (ascending/descending) in a report-style list view by clicking on the column headers. This requires a global variable to keep track of the column that was clicked:
Drag & Drop Files
How to enabled drag&drop from explorer to your window and retrieve a list of dropped files?
1. Enable your window (Form) to accept dropped files (DragAcceptFiles )
2. Add a message handler for WM_DROPFILES
3. Use DragQueryFile ( on WM_DROPFILES) to get the dropped files count and their full path.
Running Scared
O my god! Somebody stop him before he hits the maximum velocity! (for best experience please turn your speakers on) :lol:

Printing a TBitmap with StretchDIBits
The simple way to print a TBitmap is to use the Draw method of a TPrinter Canvas ThePrinterCanvas->Draw ( PositionX, PositionY, TheBitmap);. This works, except that on many machines this will fail to print (or print out too small). The following code will print the TBitmap at a size that is adjusted for the printer device using StretchDIBits. You could change the scaling and have it print to whatever size you want…

Programmers should be trusted. If your brain surgeon told you the operation you need takes five hours, would you pressure him to do it in three?
