windows-8.1

When I try to run .NET 3.5 applications on Windows 8.1 which has not .NET 3.5 Framework, Windows will show the "An app on your PC needs the following Windows feature. .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0)" dialog automatically. But I want to show this dialog programmatically. I think that the dialog is much more friendly than DISM command. Any help would be appreciated. The dialogue you are searching for is provided by a tool called Fondue (Features on Demand User Experience Tool). To request .NET 3.5 you need to invoke it like this: FONDUE.exe /enable-feature:NetFx3 Available

First of all, take a look at my previous thread here: Tkinter understanding mainloop After following the advice from there, in GUI programming, infinite loops have to be avoided at all costs, in order to keep the widgets responsive to user input.

So my code now looks like this: # Testing skills in game programming from Tkinter import * root = Tk() root.title("Python game testing") root.resizable(0, 0) root.wm_attributes("-topmost", 1) canvas = Canvas

I am about to begin developing an application on Windows 8.1. To leverage my existing skills and experience I would prefer to use HTML rather than XAML for the front end. Instead of running the application in full screen, I'd like to have it in an old-school WPF/WinForms style window which can be resized, maximized etc. Is this possible? If so, how? This is not possible in Windows Store Apps. The closest thing you'd get is Snapped Views, which is sufficient in most cases, but will not behave as windows from WPF. You can read more about the guidelines and possibilities in the MSDN UX/UI Page ,

I tried to figure out how to manage compatibility settings for some older programs in an automated way. This Super User question How can I set the compatibility mode for an executable from the command line? already helped a lot pointing onto the registry key being used for compatibility settings. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers Sadly, there is one tiny detail remaining unanswered so far. I tried to figure out what changes in application's property dialogue does by inspecting the related registry value, and it seemed so simple! But I'm irritated by the
