RE: Smart sheet - how do they do it?
I saw the demo running and I was also amazed by the smooth and rich experience and wondered how it was done. Viewing the page source only showed some frames with no clue about what was in them. Right-clicking produced application context menus. I could find no direct evidence for Silverlight or Flash driving the thing. I was totally stumped by how it was done. Perhaps it was GTK, but it seemed better than the best stuff I've seen done in GTK. I just went to their contact web page and posted a question asking them how their developers created the UI. Let's see if they respond and reveal their magic! Greg

Re: Smart sheet - how do they do it?
Actually, long-press is the replacement for right click. WinMo has it, Android has it, I've seen it used in ios apps but I'm not sure it's considered standard there. Not sure about WP7.

Re: Smart sheet - how do they do it?
Long press opens context menus in various places on WP7. So yeah, long press looks popular. Having just got myself an eee slate EP121 (loving it so far!) I'm discovering all the joys of non tablet friendly apps. Windows 7 is not bad for it but hear Windows 8 will be improved in the touch department. Bigger buttons, gestures, all that sort of stuff. Tablets are the new mobile. (ie you know how so many web sites are not mobile friendly. same deal with touch) On Thu, May 12, 2011 at 3:06 PM, David Richards ausdot...@davidsuniverse.com wrote: Actually, long-press is the replacement for right click.

Re: Smart sheet - how do they do it?
Looking at the code through Google dev tools I found a reference to www.coolite.com - .NET controls built on top of ExtJS (Sencha). Sencha - www.sencha.com, have JavaScript framework called ExtJS - check out the demos, there is also Sencha Touch for mobile devices Steep learning curve for ExtJS, but the API is quite nice and once you know ExtJS, developing with Sencha Touch is pretty much the same. Visually, ExtJS 4 is highly customisable with the use of Compass/SASS/CSS3.

RE: [OT] Visual Studio 2010 Premium Edition
Oh well, it seems that the Harris price is on the low end for SAO MSDN Premium with VS2010, so I've begrudgingly paid for the upgrade so I can get the Office and Expression suites and kits on top of the SDKs, DBs and OSs (I'm begrudged because for the same price I can get a week long holiday on 5-star private island resort in Fiji). The subscription is petty cash for a large company, but it hurts a bit when you're a one man business. However my wife reminded me that it's a tax deduction so I would feel better -- Greg

RE: SSD minimum size question
Personally I decided on the 256G. And I've got the same for 3 laptops now. I don't want to have to waste my time dealing with the possibility of running out of space. BTW, there are a number of 3rd gen SSDs out now, not just the Crucial M4, although they use newer technology which is apparently not as good (cheaper but not better performing). Some of the 2nd gen drives are pretty awesome if you can get them for a good price, such as the Crucial C300 (the only 2nd gen I would buy) I read the following forum on tom's hardware. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/266789-32-foot-race-vertex3-intel-crucial And a comparison site written in French (no I can't read it but google translate is my friend.
