When you create a project in MPLABX, quite a few files are created within the project folder. After some trial and error testing, I found that the only files really necessary for MPLABX to open a project are these:
<ProjectName>.X (this is the project folder)
<ProjectName>.X\Makefile
<ProjectName>.X\nbproject\configurations.xml
<ProjectName>.X\nbproject\project.xml
 
Items to ignore would be these:
# MPLABX folders
build
disassembly
dist
private
# MPLABX files
funclist
project.properties
Package*.bash
Makefile*.mk
Makefile*.properties
 
(MPLABX is based on Netbeans version 6, so I imagine Netbeans projects may have similar file sets. I'm not familiar with other types of Netbeans projects, so I'm just guessing here.)
 

Detecting MouseEnter and MouseLeave in a control that has lots of children controls (.Net)

Seems like I have been through this before. What I want to do is hide and show something, depending on whether the mouse is inside of a certain area. For instance, I have a container of some sort with lots of controls on it. When the mouse is anywhere inside of the container, I want a link to be visible. I can't simply use the MouseEnter/MouseLeave events on the container, because MouseLeave is triggered when the mouse enters a child control and the MouseEventArgs don't say anything about what control is being entered.

Say Goodbye to Windows 8's Start Screen

 

All of the people I've talked to who don't like Windows 8, don't like it because of the new start screen. You know, the tiled "apps" screen. A.K.A. "Metro" screen.

Maybe that sort of thing makes sense on a touchscreen device. Not on a desktop computer or standard laptop.

This free software brings back your start menu, like in Windows 7: ClassicShell. If you set it to start in desktop mode, you can say goodbye to the start screen! Here's how.
