Alright, that's it. Enough about this. If you want me to help you, then you first will have to help me!
I'm planning to recreate Log Manager as a Visual C++ or C# application, which gives me the ability to work in multiple threads and integrate some kind of scheduling feature. The only problem: I have absolutely no experience with programming for the Windows environment in .NET languages. So basically, I need someone to teach me!
My most important questions in this project are as followed:
- I need some way to keep track of the progress while "Log Viewer.exe" executes the command-line encryption process. Messenger Plus! Live seems to be able to detect this quite accurately while encrypting a log file to display its contents afterwards, so I need some way to get the same result.
- I want to make the user interface share some elements of Windows Live Messenger 2009. I already wrote some code to get the wavy header background in the window using GDI+ (with doubled buffering drawing), but I think there has to be some better way to make custom GUIs.
Well yeah, if someone could help me with this?
