Anyone using Office 2019? The number of times it crashed with RD installed is unbelievable. Just yesterday like 3-times per hour. Office 2016 without a problem. And there's the problem with Backspace within Property text fields of VBE Ide... 2019 only.

@mansellan at some point it becomes irrelevant how much more bad something is than something else...
@SonGokussj4 I'm on 16, sorry
 
agreed, but not sure it applies in this case. pripyat is heavily contaminated, and will be so for a couple of centuries. fukushima, much less so.
on a different note, 5041 is just the right size to nibble at on my 1 hour train journey. Should have something to PR soon :-)

I'm trying to decide whether or not to (try to) implement a fancy markdown parser.
It would use the GitHub flavor, and would have support for parsing the document, querying for nodes, and building HTML from the tree.
As in, it would support turning it into basic HTML, or you could provide data to plug into attributes for the nodes.
I found a bug with the MS parser I'm using.

Sibling is browsing the news, and there was a headline: Hiker found alive.
I mis-read it as "Hitler found alive" for a sec.

Lol
 
@Hosch250 Hanging out with Elvis, of course
 
@MathieuGuindon if you're feeling it, there's a dupe waiting to be closed:

Q: Removing rows in an Excel table with title based on cell value criteria

Stacy RyuttI have an excel sheet that I want to clean by removing some rows from it based on criteria. If a cell in a specific column on the list contains a value from a set of values, the row with this cell should be deleted from the list. The data table on the sheet has a header with column names. So f...

 
thanks for the ping, done. should we tell the OP that their On Error Resume Next serves literally no purpose?
 
probs yeah
btw thanks for closing that
 
Sigh... Ran my report in May and found the survey response rate was 20-something %. Ran the report for June and it shows the May response rate to be 11-something %.
Spent the morning trying to figure out why. I've identified that there are about twice as many possibilities now as there were then, but I have no idea why.

First time I heard about the play on words for Experts-Exchange being Expert Sexchange. Had a good laugh at that one.
 
4:55 PM
@IvenBach they put a hyphen in their domain name shortly after that was pointed out to them!
 
I'm a little slower than most on the uptake.
 
so were they, they hadn't realised for years :-)
 
5:48 PM
For regex what is a capture group? I've read about it but don't yet understand it.
https://www.regular-expressions.info/brackets.html explains what it is. It's me that's not groking the why ... It just clicked.
New question. Why is it when I expose my derpitude to the pond does it result in comprehension?
 
6:28 PM
your introspection kicks in due to the want to not look dumb

I ask myself several times and try to work through it. Rubberducking with the pond just makes me think differently I guess.
Most at the pond already know I'm slower than most. As long as I'm progressing is what's important.
 
Nah, you aren't slower. I'd say you are faster than most.
 
6:43 PM
I'd second that. I haven't been in the pond that much but I feel like you progress a bunch.

:giggle: My ego needs no assistance.
I want to work efficiently lazily. To do that I strive to understand what I'm doing.

@Duga I guess that means "autoboosh out & over"
 
oh, it's ghost now, must have nuked their github account for some reason
 
that sucks, GH is disassociating every single issue they ever fixed
 
LOL, wow.
Dang, you better hope I don't ever do that :D
I have 246 closed issues assigned to me :D
It removed him from the PRs too.
 
puzzles me why anyone would just nuke their GitHub account
 
8:16 PM
he did a lot of work, sorry to see him gone. Glad the work didn't go with him!
 
he's the one that took my original Peter-the-Painter resolver and turned it into the foundation of what it is today
he also essentially rewrote the entire grammar
Max basically picked up right where autoboosh left off, and took it to the next level. I'm thoroughly impressed with @M.Doerner's ability to just jump head-first into that code and start hacking away and enhancing things.
meanwhile I have a draft PR with one single resolver tweak.. and 370 failing tests
 
so many questions on the reddit vba thing where people are using explicit sheets for the ranges, but then using the implicit cells to define those explicit ranges
whatever... free points

@Duga from the look of that log, indenting isn't the only disabled menu there. wtf is going on
 
something fishy is going on with their registered DLLs I think
 
is that what the "unable to cast __ComObject" error was? I remember seeing it, but not what the fix was
 
> @tdalon this seems to be related to the old COM shims discussion. See this comment by MZ-Tools author Carlos Quintero
 
@MathieuGuindon note that the error here is TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY

In other cases, repairing a corrupt Office install has been seen to fix this problem. Would you happen to be running multiple versions of Office side-by-side?
 
8:41 PM
ugh, missed it
 
@Duga heh yeah, shims. we should probably do that :/
 
8:59 PM
@Duga Seeing this gave me the :sads:
@IvenBach The background turns black when InitializeCommand() in run before InitializeComponent() because the Window.Background property is null. That's apparently the default value. Confirmed by explicitly setting Background = null;. As to why when Component is before Command it doesn't work? Still figuring that out.
 
InitializeComponent() should be the first thing to run :)
 
Should being the key part.
I couldn't get key binding to run and was testing.
 
Key binding isn't correct, the command invocation.
 
9:15 PM
@MathieuGuindon Not necessarily.
InitializeComponent triggers bindings, etc.
If your control needs, say, a static collection to be initialized before the bindings get triggered that for some reason can't be in the VM, you can do that first.
I mean, you're probably doing things wrong or inheriting bad code, but...
 
9:59 PM
This one leaves me scratching my head.
 
10:24 PM
@Hosch250 AFAIK it creates all the design-time objects; not too sure what that means for compiled xaml, but if it sets up bindings then it's literally creating everything the xaml is declaring - running any code before it would be rather iffy IMO. Could be wrong.
 
10:36 PM
Just been playing with some of the VB6 add-ins that get automatically installed. My word, they're... dreadful. Did anyone ever use them?
Mind, they did have a stab at some of the things we've mulled - code snippets, an object repository, various others
 
@mansellan I used MZ-Tools 3 and Smart Indenter, nothing else was needed - until ducky came along
 
I used MZ Tools 3 (and sorta 8). I also tried FMS tools but ended up just using MZ Tools.
never bothered with smart indenter or any other addins
TBH, I noticed that VB6 addins are vastly different from typical VBA addins
 
10:52 PM
TBH IDK what a typical VBA addin is
I find most tooling is ....toys. I like how MZ can locate variable refs in comments, but its static code analysis is otherwise way too basic for my taste.
That said we do need a "reorder module members" tool (and a "move member" refactoring)
But RD isn't getting a msgbox assistant tool as long as I live
Or a line numbering tool
Or a tool that adds obnoxious 20-liner comment headings everywhere
 
I need to better understand reference equality... Just spent ~45 mins on the blatantly obvious.
 
@IvenBach ?Sheet1 Is Worksheets("Sheet1")
vs ?ActiveSheet.Name = Sheet1.Name
Or rather, that vs ActiveSheet Is Sheet1
 
In C#-landia. Background == _alternateColor. The color values #FFAABBCC was the same but the reference wasn't.
They are SolidColorBrush instances.
I'm still failing at understanding why the keybinding doesn't work.
 
Could be just a focus thing.
 
It's really starting to bother me that I can't figure it out.
 
11:07 PM
tried setting it up at the UserControl level
 
Working on an MVCE of it.
It makes me feel like I've not understood things when I can't get it to work and spend nearly an hour on a simple reference equality check.
:barf: WTF?
I'm now even more confused when it works after adding it as a control.
@MathieuGuindon Why would does setting it up as a UserControl make any difference?
 
11:43 PM
@IvenBach Congrats on getting it to work properly. At least based on my recent testing. Now the hard part starts. Understanding why it's working instead of blindly moving on.
