I have created a user control that has an image that I would like to "blink" at the same rate as the user caret. This can be set using keyboard settings in the control panel on windows systems.
Are there any classes that will help me obtain this value?
I always thought the default was .5 seconds, however this is faster than desired and can be modified.

In a Google Meet, you can click the vertical ellipsis and then change the layout.
I have written an extension for which the tiled layout gives the best results, but I can't seem to find (programmatically) which view is being used. Any tips or suggestions?
There is no mention as of today of getting or setting Meet layout in its documentation; neither you can list its activities or get them from System Parameters. If you need this feature, I would suggest you to open an Issue Tracker case asking for it. Feel free to ask me more if needed.
I'm using Dymola but I expect OpenModelica might very well be the same (or at least similar).
For a given component model sometimes it makes more sense to have lots of parameters shown on one "tab" of the parameter GUI. This can lead to an excessively long GUI which, for many reasons including for psychological reasons in relation to how humans process information, is not a appropriate solution.
To solve this I would like to add a vertical scroll bar on the parameter GUI. I believe I saw it once though I cannot recall exactly where.
For illustrative purposes look to the right side of your web browser window. That gray bar that goes up and down is the scrollbar :). I know, obvious but you never know.
I assume I need to put some command in an annotation somewhere though where and what command I am not sure. For example, I found some reference to a verticalScrollBarPolicy but alas, I can not find any documentation on this.
Anyone know how to do this?
EDIT #1:
Dymola (and Adrian indicated OpenModelica as well) will automatically create the scroll bar when the GUI gets larger than the screen. Unfortunately (at least in Dymola) there is little margin so if you GUI is a fraction smaller than the window the "OK" button will be covered by the ribbon on the bottom of the screen and the GUI will be needed to made slightly larger to make the scroll bar appear automatically. This is a reason why a manual option for a scrollbar would come in handy.
I think additional "tabs" might help?
As far as I know in OpenModelica we have a scroll bar for that dialog windows if the window would expand out of the screen.
As of this posting my understanding based on feedback on this forum, my own experience, and from additional discussions with others there is no current manual control of the GUI (i.e., size, scrollbars, etc.).
Your best bet if you come across issues (e.g., you have a super small 2nd monitor) is to use lots of tabs and keep descriptions very short (which is probably appropriate for most applications anyways).
This is a Dymola and OpenModelica issue not a modelica issue as it is not contained in the modelica specification (as I understand it).
If this changes and I find out about it I'll remove or update this post.
Essentially I want to re-size my dateTimePicker control to fit its parent container. I have tried to do this both through the Control Editor and programmatically but I simply cannot get the drop down calendar to expand at all. So 2 part question:
a) Is this even possible to do?
b) Is there an easy-to-implement solution to having a good looking calendar that fits its parent field? (i.e. using a data grid or something similar)
Any help or knowledge is greatly appreciated!!!
The size of both objects is fixed and defined by the size of its font. Thus you might change its size by affecting the font size. This works fine with DateTimePicker but does not seem to work with MonthCalendar. After a quick research I have found a pretty curious recommendation on the MSDN forum: "you can consider third party MonthCalendar controls to meet your requirement temporarily".
There are quite a few third-party options (after a really quick search I found this) or you might even create one by your own. I personally haven't ever had any problem with the in-built controls but if the size is so important for you I guess that you would have to search/develop something by your own.
Further recommendation: rely on WPF which does contain a resizable control (DatePicker). I want to highlight here that I don't like WPF at all and that thus this recommendation is because I don't see any other option (inside .NET).
I was wondering how to create a sort of auto clicker using VB.NET.
I would basicly have the click coordinates pre-defined and the clicks, which would have to be separated by delays I guess since I want more than one to happen periodically, would happen outside of the application window (I read this envolves extra system hooks?).
The only code I have been able to find is related to clicks on the application window, which is not what I am looking for.
In short: I want to click a button on the app window, which would initiate a number of clicks on certain pre-defined screen coordinates.
Thanks in advance :)
See this discussion on social.msdn: Simulate a mouse click in a program.
Uses winapi: SetCursorPos, GetCursorPos and mouse_event.
I believe you need to P/Invoke into Windows to accomplish this.
Have a look at the SendInput function.
If you are using automate the program,that program have some tabindex in order to relevant control.then you can use;
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}");
SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}");
it is more accurate on desktop application
I'm trying to get wxCheckBox to have sensitive label like it is in some other toolkit's.
It is often too delicate to aim on little box so whole area with label would be much convenient way to change a state.
But I can't find a way to do it.
Any help would be appreciate.
wxWidgets 2.8, Ubuntu 10.04
I can confirm this is a bug in wxWidgets GTK for wxALIGN_RIGHT check-boxes. If we take a quick look at the source code for the wxCheckBox we can see that right aligned controls are created as two seperate parts, a label and a check box and that the label is never connected to to respond to click events. If you create a ticket on the wxWidgets bug tracker then I am sure someone will fix it.
