    MDI in .NET

    Hi All, I have a funny problem with .NET. Okey... let's say that I have a MDI program. Every time I add a child form to it, an item (with child form name) is added to Windows-menu. Yes, I know where the program is triggered to do so, but my problem is: how the hell can I refresh the menu items...

    Disk for Microcomputer-aided engineering

    Hi nbucska Thanks for your reply, but it's not a problem anymore. I didn't find it in any other libraries, but I managed program it by myself (and the satisfaction was unbeliavable). Kim

    How do I show a list of unique items in a ComboBox?

    I don't know any shortcuts to your problem. You'll just have to do it the hard way; before adding the item, check if it already exists. You can use the "Like"-operator, "InStr"-function or "StrComp"-function to check for the existance. Kim

    Lanczos & Subspace

    Hi The only method I can somehow understand is the power method. That is also the only one that I have programmed myself. Try www.math.com, "ask an expert". I have asked there a few questions every now and then, and the answers are good. Kiso

    Shift invert iteration

    Hi I'm having problems with the shift invert iteration. I can't understand how the matrix A-sI is computed. If "s" is a coifficient (computed with Rayleighs quotient for etc.) then the product sI for a 3x3 matrix would be s 0 0 0 s 0 0 0 s right???? Is it this simple, because...
