deactivating keys in a keymap

Forum thread started by lelldorin on Thu, 2008-10-16 14:09

Hello,

i search for solution for deactivating some keys in a keymap. I have done created my own keymap and i have edit it so i only can use the keys 0-9 and A-Z.

I need to deactivate the combination Ctrl+Alt+Delete so no one can open the task manager.

Can i deactivate this combination or is it a unchangeable system option?

Greetings Lelldorin

Detect overlapping window

Forum thread started by mohmed on Sat, 2008-04-19 07:49

Hi all,
Im wondering if anyone can help me..

Ive been trying to modify the window.cpp code so that when a window is moved it can detect whether there is another window under it. I have tried looking into the window dragging code in window.cpp to try and capture when a window has moved on top of another one. I have also tried working with a list of windows that i retrived from Desktop.cpp but when i use that list in the window.cpp file the virtual machine gives me an error. Am I looking at the right areas or is there another section of code i should be looking at?

any help would be appreciated..

thanks

GUI abilities

Forum thread started by bitym on Fri, 2008-04-04 00:16

hi. i am newbiein haiuku, in spite of my profile registration.
When i launched haiku first time, i was little confused.
1.if i am right, the button, comobos, and other gui object does not have a "Hint" element (additional text area,1-2 strings, displayed,when you wait for a long near the object)? Please,where i can find info about this option in haiku?
2.I did not found a minimize button on dialog and forms...where i can read about "why do they did this?"

Thanks.

how to install gcc on haiku raw image?

Forum thread started by basti171 on Sat, 2008-03-22 13:09

i installed the gcc-2.95.3 ob haiku but it doesn't work...
i did this:

How to install gcc-2.95.3 under different versions of BeOS.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BeOS R5 (with or without BONE):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The compiler, linker and tools:
1. extract gcc-2.95.3_binutils-2.17.zip to /boot/develop/tools
2. if the folder /boot/develop/tools/gnupro exists, rename it
3. create the link:
/boot/develop/tools/gnupro
-> /boot/develop/tools/gcc-2.95.3_binutils-2.17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to switch between different compilers later, you just need to
adjust the link:
/boot/develop/tools/gnupro -> /boot/develop/tools/...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The new libstdc++ (optional but recommended):
1. rename /boot/develop/headers/cpp
2. execute this in Terminal (creates a link without dereferencing):
ln -snf /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/include/g++ /boot/develop/headers/cpp
3. rename /boot/beos/system/lib/libstdc++.r4.so (e.g. libstdc++.r4.so.R5)
4. copy /boot/develop/tools/gcc-2.95.3_binutils-2.17/lib/libstdc++.r4.so
to /boot/beos/system/lib/libstdc++.r4.so
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

but i get in terminal following error message:

$gcc
specs file malformed after 84 characters

what does that mean?

how to enlarge haiku raw-image?

Forum thread started by basti171 on Thu, 2008-03-20 14:27

how can i enlarge an existing image of haiku? (qemu version)
i found somewhere a command how to combine 2 images for qemu, but in haiku the image still was the same size, although the imagefile was bigger...
somehow its useless to try on testing haiku with that limited space (about 20MB free space on nightly build)
