c# - Identifier for a Windows GUI element (AutomationElement HashCode and RuntimeID) -

-

i looking way identify instances of gui element (for example "copy" entry in context menu of windows explorer).

i tried both .gethashcode , .getruntimeid method on automationelement, both change each time open context menu.

what difference/purpose between runtimeid , hashcode anyway?

any ideas how identfy gui element without comparing label/name string?

there various ways, under automationelement class able inspect "current" element , use combination of ways determine element. following example taken solution see here

using system.window.automation;         private automationelement element; system.drawing.point mouse = system.windows.forms.cursor.position; this.element = automationelement.frompoint(new system.windows.point(mouse.x, mouse.y));

from here able access element.current , extract things such name, processid.

although may have figured out, following code should class name of current ui item, not part of automationelement class , win32 hook.

[dllimport("user32.dll")]     public static extern int getclassname(intptr hwnd, stringbuilder lpclassname, int nmaxcount);  private string getclassname(intptr hwnd)     {         stringbuilder sb = new stringbuilder(256);         this.getclassname(hwnd, sb, 256);         return sb.tostring();     }

hope helps, if started ;)

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

-
something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
