[rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck]retailcoder pushed commit c1c1b919 to next: made <module> a child of <before> and <after> tags for annotations; allows having new module type in the <after> example.
> @PredeclaredId annotation, indicates the presence of VB_Predeclared module attribute value (True) that defines a default instance for the class, named after that class. Use the quick-fixes to "Rubberduck Opportunities" code inspections to synchronize annotations and attributes.
actually, there's the AdjustAttributeValues quickfix, AddMissingAttribute quickfix, RemoveAttribute quickfix, ...but no SynchronizeAttributes quickfix. ..and I need to double-check where I think I saw a page with 4 examples, can't find it atm
anyway, the xmldocs parse into RDDB records now :)
once the build completes, the [edit this page] links that currently go 404 should start working now, for all inspections, annotations, and quickfix pages
> The "edit this page" link on each page generated from xml-doc content in this namespace, links to https://github.com/rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck/edit/next/{namespace}/{quickfix-name}.cs; it is imperative that the files' folder location corresponds to their namespace, lest we generate broken links on the website.
The content generated from xml-doc in this namespace (and any concrete inspections in a namespace under it) is accessible at https://rubberduckvba.com/quickfixes/details/{quickfix-name}.

I am just started working with VBA dictionary and I would like to compare some excell sheets. I have reading a lot of VBA dictionary in the internet and my doubt is:My Sheet1 has 1200 rows and Sheet2 has 850 rows and both has the the quantity of columns. When comparing to sheets with VBA dictiona...
> This PR adds a simple button linking to the /inspections website page that opens the details page for the selected inspection. From that page, the user can view the otherwise inaccessible-from-within-RD xmldoc content for the selected inspection, navigate to the xmldoc content for the available quickfixes, and submit a pull request to add new examples or fix typos in the documentation. A later PR (?) shall consolidate the web-browser commands ("about" dialog also spawns a process like...
this) so that the "go to some url" wheel doesn't need reinventing every time.
We now get Rubberduck.parsing.xml as a build asset. As I understand it, that's necessary for the fancy, cool new auto-doc-builder Mug just released, but what's the value of having that visible to the public on the Releases page, and do I need to download that with my pre-release setup.exe?
Hi all. Back in the days of 16-bit Windows, Symantec/Norton had a utility for un-sticking an app with a locked-up child window. You'd run the utility, pick an app, and it would tell you if it had child windows and give the option to kill them, while trying not to crash the parent app. Are any of you aware of such an app for modern 32b & 64b Windows..?
I just had that happen with Excel/Access open. One of them was jammed and it caused Access to crash and I lost some code. It was acting like there was a stuck child window. It was similar to when you have an Excel cell open for editing, and you get the "bink" sound when switching to the VBA window to edit code.
@spinjector doesn't ring any bells, but sounds useful!
@FreeMan I could probably get the build assets off AppVeyor (they keep old build assets for 6 months IIRC), but it's much, much simpler to grab the build assets off the GitHub release/tag as I need to hit that endpoint anyway to get the download counts. Also much simpler to know which build is for a prerelease tag =)
it's true that it kind of makes the actual installer asset a bit harder to find, however the "download" links on the home page point directly to the installer executable
@MathieuGuindon Regarding the stuck child windows, yes it was. The utility was originally part of Norton Desktop for Windows 3.1, and I've been thinking of taking a stab at creating a modern one in Visual Studio, using the same kinds of API calls as apps like SysInternals Process Explorer... When I have time... (lol)
In other news, last night's publish has replaced the hard-coded "master" with "main" on the website, so we're ready (minus everything that will go wrong) to rename our master branch to line up with the new GitHub default naming. Shouldn't be too complicated on the GH side, since our default branch is "next".
master... People woulda had fits back in the early PC hard drive days. If you attached 2 drives to your computer, you had to put jumpers on each to designate one as the 'master' and the other as 'slave'. Can you imagine the uproar if certain people found out about that?
@spinjector FWIW, I've had that happen and while I haven't seen any utility, I've found that by doing Show Desktop + Restore on the locked-up app works to get the child window in front. Annoying but it is what it is. I'm fairly sure that Windows 10 broke something in regards to the focus behavior & dialogs but it's too intermittent as I've seen that happen with various applications, not just Office.
hm, is ShadowedDeclaration disabled by default? content updater is reading the defaults from https://github.com/rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck/blob/next/Rubberduck.CodeAnalysis/app.config, but I have it at "Error" level in my local config
(and if it really is, ...*should it be* disabled by default?)
Introduces a link to the website's inspection details page for the selected inspection result, at the bottom of the bottom panel in the inspection results toolwindow.
@FreeMan The scenario is you're doing your thing on an application, and you trigger something that causes it to open a modal dialog. Normally you'd respond to the modal dialog which is right in the front of the application. However, there has been times where that does NOT happen; the modal dialog pops behind the application, which then make it look like it's all locked up.
and you can't click on it because it's expecting you to respond to the dialog but you can't get to it because the application's main window is in the way. The Show Desktop & Restore hack sometimes work to get the modal dialog put in the front of the application it should be.
gotcha, so I Show Desktop to minimize all apps (even the one that's not responding), then I click the app on the taskbar and it should show the modal dialog in front of the app, where it should have been in the first place.
I've found that sometimes I can alt-tab to the dialog box, too.
