Win8 Start Button
Hi, Has anyone else noticed that the Start button functionality has been 're-instated' in the latest Win8 update? Just move your mouse to where the start button used to be and you will be shown the link to the Start screen. Glen.
Re: Win8 Start Button
Think Glen might be having wet-ware problems. The zone has always been there - check the other corners too!

I have a third-party COM DLL (GMFPreview.DLL - some of you may have used it, for DirectShow) and as I recall, there is a Windows tool that will display the comClass GUID, etc that I will need to put into the manifest for the DLL. I can't recall what the tool is - OLE something? _ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
Re: Win8 Start Button
Yep, its always been like that. I've learned a new gesture thats kind of cool. On touch device, you can cycle through tasks by swiping slowly from the left edge (knew that) but if you then flick the image (of the next screen) back towards the left edge it brings up a view down the left edge showing thumbnails of all the screens running. You can get this view open with mouse by mousing over top left and slowly moving down the left edge. Wonder if there are any easter eggs. :) On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 4:12 PM, Damon Pollard damon.poll...@birchmangroup.com wrote: Think Glen might be having wet-ware problems.

Re: Greetings
Agree. For example, what UI framework are you using? Winforms? WPF? Silverlight? More details, please.

RE: Greetings
At a random guess, Marvin was using WinForm's RichTextBox.SaveXXX and RichTextBox.LoadXXX methods. Marvin, as a replacement, look at the System.IO.File.ReadAllText and System.IO.File.WriteAllText methods. These allow you to read and write arbitrary text, ie the TextBox.Text property.
