I just knocked this together and thought you might like it. It could be quite useful. The instructions are:

Press shift and move your mouse.

If you don't trust me, well, you loose out.
Tell me what you think.

**SeaHag** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:41 PM

It crashed out my computer.. What is it?

**chrisjk** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:43 PM

good, but what's the point?

**TiPeRa** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:45 PM

SeaHag - What is you computer setup?
chrisjk - It needs a point

Nobody told me that

**chrisjk** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:47 PM

well, generally stuff has a purpose, perhaps if you made a screensaver out of it for example

**TiPeRa** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:48 PM

I can't be bothered. I just made it to learn how to manipulate regions etc

**SeaHag** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:49 PM

Windows 2k

Dont like the desk top.. the program has ended and the effect is still there. (not to spoil the suspense)

As well as IE

**TiPeRa** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:52 PM

What's wrong with the desk top?
To fix the windows just press shift without moving the mouse.

**chrisjk** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:52 PM

works okay on my Win2000, maybe it's a memory thing...

**SeaHag** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 03:53 PM

I get glitchy things happening any way..

The IT guy says its some conflict with the mouse and Win2K

No worries..

**gdebacker** · Nov 23rd, 2001, 04:01 PM

Press shift and move your mouse and crash the computer. You're right, that is quite useful. Thank you.

What is the goal of that program???

**MidgetsBro** · Nov 25th, 2001, 12:52 AM

What the f***? Look what it did to my computer... Win98SE, 265MB RAM. Out of Memory error?

**da_silvy** · Dec 15th, 2001, 11:54 AM

i can't see any message

i keep getting those errors more and more often

DaoK · Dec 15th, 2001, 09:50 PM

That program have no freaking goal!

**da_silvy** · Dec 16th, 2001, 01:46 AM

not all programs have to have goals

DaoK · Dec 16th, 2001, 11:00 AM

Well ... why take time to make a program if it's to do nothing good !

**da_silvy** · Dec 16th, 2001, 04:31 PM

Then why make games?

They do nothing good, but they are for entertainment purposes?

Just because it doesn't do something *useful* doesn't mean it's bad

**FUBAR** · Dec 16th, 2001, 11:41 PM

DUDE YOU PROGRAM IS ****ING AWESOME!!!!!!

i held down shift, and drew a box in a window, and it made a hole in my window i could see through, i could move the window around and see other windows in the background through it...the program has no poin, but its ****ing awesome....

DaoK · Dec 26th, 2001, 08:26 PM

**[praetorian]** · Dec 29th, 2001, 12:13 PM

**-B-Mysterio** · Jan 9th, 2002, 01:49 PM

LOL

KooL!!!!

**-B-Mysterio** · Jan 9th, 2002, 01:51 PM

BTW...

I have Windows2K Pro, and it doesn't KrAsH my box either!

**TiPeRa** · Jan 12th, 2002, 05:08 PM

Hello! Thanks for the response. I having it running all the time now and use it quite instinctively. Is everyone here a Win 2K? It won't work on Windows 9x; I can't get the SetWindowRgn API to work.

For some strange reason I was not notifed by email when people replied in this thread!

**VictorB212** · Jan 24th, 2002, 09:07 PM

You might wanna make an option to fill in all holes when you've done, or be able to press the ctrl key to do it. Otherwise, that is a very cool thing you did. Cool things don't need to be "useful." Good work!

Armbruster · Jan 24th, 2002, 11:36 PM

pretty cool! Send message api?

I agree, it should repair the screen when done, but otherwise it is pretty cool. Don't know what it could be used for, but I'm sure there is something out there.

**VictorB212** · Jan 24th, 2002, 11:40 PM

Don't automatically repair the screen. Imagine the wonder your systems administrator friend will experience when he sees that his Outlook has a big, gaping, see-through hole in it! Make auto-repair an option. Also, is it possible to make multiple holes? I.e. make ctrl undo all the holes in the current window, and shift draw them, or something...

**TiPeRa** · Jan 25th, 2002, 02:02 PM

I could probably do all that, it wouldn't be too difficult.
Shift to add a hole.
Ctrl to fill in.

**VictorB212** · Jan 25th, 2002, 02:20 PM

It seems like it won't work with windows 98... is it because windows 98 doesn't support this type of thing, or have you just not implemented a win98 version?

Make an option to fill in just the current hole, or to fill in ALL holes (mebby even make the keys you need to press configurable?). This could be a great prank program -- create a few holes in your friend's applications and watch him go bezerk.

**TiPeRa** · Jan 26th, 2002, 06:22 PM

As far as I can tell Window 98 doesn't support it. Can anyone dispute this, please?

**da_silvy** · Jan 28th, 2002, 07:55 AM

i got it wokring, then it stuffed up and i had to reboot

**TiPeRa** · Jan 30th, 2002, 04:59 AM

In Windows 9x?

**JafferAB** · Jan 31st, 2002, 07:50 AM
