So, just got a report back from testing that the function keys don't work on one of the WPF forms in the app.
This is standard stuff, just copy/pasted into most forms - default function keys for Save.
It hadn't been put into this form - despite the button saying "Save (F2)" there was no code in the Xaml to execute the command (or do anything at all) when F2 pressed.
"No probs" quoth I - I'll fix it now, 'cause I'm lovely, & it will only take 2 minutes"
That was 1/2 hour ago. It still isn't working. I've put in the code, bound the keys to the commands, and nothing happens!
During the rest of this sprint I have knocked over complex jobs at top speed with nary a wrinkle!
I'm sure when I find out what the problem is I'll have a really good laugh about it. (or, maybe not).
Why is it that these simple things are suddenly so hard to do!

Sounds like the DataContext on that View isn't quite the one you think it is. Just use Snoop to see what the context is on it - oh, and don't forget to check your output window to see if you have any broken bindings.

Turns out it was a focussing issue - seems nothing had focus, and so setting the focus in the code behind fixed the immediate issue at hand making me a happy bunny.
I hate focus issues in our framework because:
The decision was taken early on that the users wanted to use Enter to navigate around, rather than tab. So they used a "SendKeys' equivalent to send a Tab whenever Enter is sent..
Them, when tab sequence is all lovely, someone pops up a dialogue and closes it with Enter - which then moves the focus to the next control on the view behind.
Sucks.

Last place I worked was like that, because the GUI system was replacing a CHUI system which worked with Enter moving them to the next field. Was a right pita to keep that functionality in everything and working properly as we moved forwards.

This one[^]? With a couple of modifications, I've not had any problems with it.

Well of course. Knocking over the tough jobs is the easy part. Fixing them is the hard part.

How about of getting out of the house and enjoying something you rarely get free time to enjoy.
Riding a bicycle, walking in a jungle park, taking a motorcycle ride through the countryside come to mind. Almost anything else then sitting indoors and watching TV shows.
<edit>
I thought you were from India until I checked your profile. We have jungle parks here in Asia.

In that case take a cruise or otherwise travel to some far off place (preferably tropical) and enjoy meeting people from another culture.

Good reason to not travel far. How about packing a bedroll and tent and taking a motorcycle ride to some parklands near your home. Maybe for a day or two.
Sleeping out in the forest is always enjoyable for me. It is an inexpensive way to get away for a few days.
I used to not do it alone until I tried it once and really had a good time mostly because I didn't have to consider anyone else and did what I wanted.

If you haven't seen BB then I would recommend it over a re-watch of any of your other choices.
|
|
|
|

Watch it already but still looks better choice the watching some sh*t shows. One of my friend has recommended House of Cards. Have you watched it ?
|
|
|
|
|
Mrs. Maxxxx is a big fan - I haven't watched it.
It may be an acquired taste, but I have also just watched the three Mad Dogs[^] series. Series one is certainly the best of the bunch and I'd recommend it.
