Peter, rugged individualist, inventor and kook.

You have made the claim that you are a professional programmer. If
by that you mean someone pays you to produce crap code, then I
suppose you must be.

For my own amusement, I have followed up on some more of your silly
posts in different ngs.

I nearly fell on the floor laughing when I read, by your own
admission, you cannot get even a really, really trivial program
working without help from a grown up. Take a look at the message you
posted a couple of years ago, copied below, and the follow up.

The advice sought was duly supplied. Even then, Peter, you had to
have the problem spelt out for you in large type.

But the best bit of all, mega ironic given your inability to
understand even the simplest of dismissals of your 'refutation' was
your reply:
  "Someone else gave me this same advice so it must be correct."

This code was derived from a fully functional example
program. Nearly all of my modifications were to the
KeyDLL.cpp file, thus this is the probable source of
error.
Although it is written using the Borland compiler, I am
sure that the reason that it crashes has to do with how
I am using the Windows API functions.
I am also nearly certain that the error is located in the
KeyDLL.cpp file. This code does exactly what it is
supposed to do for a few hundred keystrokes. After
awhile it changes to a different font,  and then ceases
to function properly, altogether.
I am guessing that this has to do with the way that I select
the font in the KeyDLL file.

Someone else gave me this same advice so it must be correct.
Without knowing all the subtle nuances of how windows works,
one would assume that a font would remain selected, and not
need to be selected again. I can't see where I did anything to
deselect this font. Can you explain this to me?   Thanks
