Hi, I keep resorting to com interop calls, for example I needed the
location of the carot in a text box and I had to use a win32API call
(GetCarotPos??) to do that.
It's one example, I could give several more that have come up over the
last few months, and it has raised a couple of questions the answers to
which could plug a few holes in my knowledge.
First, I'm uncomfortable using API calls purely because I don't fully
understand the implications regarding security settings and so forth. Is
there anything I need to do to make my assemblies safe?
I'm a little unsure about how the standard controls were developed. Can
I assume the framework is using OS calls to draw the carot, thus making
GetCarotPos(sp?) work?
I know the framework grows with each version, can we expect to see some
of these things incorporated? Do the vista extensions to the framework
address any of these issues?
Apologies if that's vague. These issues don't affect me so much
professionally, only when I try and do fun stuff at home, so I'm not as
clued up as I could be.
Thanks.
