Using win32 without resources because I don't even want to try to get GCC to embed and even then I'd still have to use VS code to generate RC files and figure all that out. No. Just, no.
And I have to use GCC because it's an Arduino port to PC for prototyping, and all the Arduino toolchains use GCC.
So I've been building my windows using CreateWindowExW(). Joy. 
And a lot of the User32.dll API just assumes you'll be using resources. It's actually a bit of a black art to forgo them.
This is rough stuff.

Hello,
I feel quite lost...
New laptop (bought this spring) using Windows 11 Pro with MS 365, however I guess I didn't have to install MS Teams at the beginning as I already had it.
In the first weeks, everything worked well, but ... suddenly:
- MS Teams seems have turned into a chat-only application.
No phone calls therein.
No camera connected although I do have one!
Cannot even join an invitation I sent...
- But I need a video-chat application.
- Best, some that works on Windows 11 and lets people with Mac/Linux join as I invite them
- For example for such useful and important things as online jobs interviews?
What has happened to MS Teams? How can I fix this?
Any ideas?

Hi All,
Time for a rant, I know how to get PC's to talk to the outside world given sufficient hardware and info. I am playing with a set of scales that we are abusing for a test rig. The device is a little odd and the timing of it is strange. You send it a 'Z\r\n' to zero it 'beep' (which according to the docs means received & understood) and period of time T it zero's, then reading is made via 'P\r\n' 'beep' and the reading is returned. The reading packet seems to hold the current tare weight, the number of readings made and a total. All we care about is the tare weight. If the unit is zeroed the tare weight according to logic should be 0.00 but no it is not there?? force a zero by the on scale function it returns a 0.00 tare weight? Combined with the lack of Vis Studio .NET beyond version 2003 (.NET 1.5??) means I have to make notes of how the software behaves and do the mods with 2008 all despite having the OK for a new version (2017 possibly needed for compatibility issues) I still don't have it. I'm doing my best with what I have (if some else tells me to use Python I will stick a fork in their eye)

What I normally do is to use a terminal emulation program to send commands "by hand" and see what's going on. If I have to spy on two devices talking serially, I use two COM ports to capture each side of the dialog.

That was my first though but I haven't done to much serial port work since Win 8, Win10 & Win11 I have not attacked in the same depth. The blessed tool I used to use won't work on Win11 (I also don't have Admin so problems!)

I really like Realterm. You can really do the nuts and bolts of serial comms with it.

Need to add that to Free Tools[^]
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Been a long time since I did serial ports but to be fair you are describing a problem with the device and not the port.
Which is what I remember. Devices were all odd. Even worse if one had to code to a spec rather than the actual device.

Not sure why that matters? The serial port code itself is going to be different when you move up?

anagram-solver.net gives about 27 of them. Some of them are clearly French or Italian, but there are a few we'd get away with.

today I get a license of UltraEdit and plan to play around with it.
Just be curious: what is your favorite features for UltraEdit?
diligent hands rule....

Probably "Uninstall": I've never used it or wanted to ... for text / binary file editing, I use PSPad - it'#s free and does everything I need. For source code I use VS because why wouldn't you?

for binary file editing i recommend "010 Editor" . it is noţ free but it is a pleasure to utilize but mostly it offers templates . or i can give you my copy of "FileRay" the 1st binary file editor which utilized templates 2y prior to 010 . it was written for XP . i am not certain of its' function under 10 / 11 .

I've been using NotePad++ but I may switch, PSPad looks a lot more lightweight.

From their web site
"secure text editor."
Why does a text editor need to be "secure"?
Myself I have been using Textpad (paid version) for several decades. Only problem with it is that it only runs on Windows (most of the time not a problem.) The license is really flexible.
