Causing a user to make an explicit choice within your software really only happens from some sort of "locked-in" process. This process most typically happens within the form of a dialog box. It's the one roadblock you can stick in front of a user and expect input. Your software then uses that input to determine the output or direction.

This resulted in a small tab at the top of the Tab Control but didn’t make it disappear. To make a long st
Who doesn't want their software to perform as efficiently and as quickly as possible. Don't we always want things to go faster and work better?
Of course we do. The problem is, we don't always take the time to fully think out what is happening when we solve a problem. Sometimes, we just robot our way through the code we are creating because it's how we've always done it - and it's easy or faster.
Being an "efficiency nut", when it comes to code, is something I really enjoy. It represents the f
