White box issue in Flex Container Class

The 'whitebox' appears when the container's height/width are such that both horizontal and vertical scrollbar appear. This tiny 'whitebox' appears on the lower-right corner at the intersection of two scrollbars. Our application's theme is black and hence this white box was totally unacceptable. Following two posts by Tommy helped my fix the problem:

The two solutions, when combined, works for me. :)

Adding to XP SendTo utility

SendTo will copy a file from current to destination. If you want to move it, use Shift+SendTo!

XP SendTo utility

When you right-click on a file you see a menu option "sendto". It has various locations preset and you can also customize it in few simple steps:
1) Go to Start->Run
2) Type sendTo and press enter. A folder named 'SendTo" opens up.
3) Right-click and drag the folder you want to add to the sendTo menu item into the sendTo folder. Choose the Create shortcut option on drop.
4) You are done!

Flex: getting whiteSpaces intact while parsing XML

I was trying to get the XML to keep the whiteSpaces that are appearing in an XML as values. My first sample code looked like this:-














The output turned out to be:







The solution was to set prettyprinting property of XML to false.

Hence updating the above code by :-





And the result was: -

Review: Love story

Long movie. Went to watch it with least expectations( afterall the ratings were 1/5). Music in the first half is disappointing. Don't know what Anu malik is upto these days. Second half music is ok. Fantasy world is good to watch but some silly robots( like the one selling paan) are disappointing. Harman baweja will have to change his looks! He's actually Hritik's duplicate! abt he's not that disappointing. PC looks hot :P

Review: Janne tu..ya na jaane na

Good movie...songs and music is superb. Acting is ok, dialogue delivery's bad but the expressions are good. Simple story of love and friendship is being presented in a nice manner. Liked the acting of smita patel's son. He's hollywood material.

Can watch the movie again!

Losership Title

I am a loser and my life is a mess. I tend to blow everything I get involved to. And still I wakeup, assuming my time of losership is over, only to again run into this circle of failures and creating mess everywhere I step. Life is just not taking a right turn.

Review: Get Smart

Good comedy movie...not at all cheap :). Watched the movie at 11 PM and the hall was packed. Movie of a wannabe-agent security officer who's promoted to field job( and hence become a true agent) along side sexy devil wears prada actress( don't remember her name) and a double agent. Very funny at times and truely a good movie to end the day.

Ranbeer and Raghu...good reality shows you are making! Hats off!

18 girls fighting to make 2 boys fall for them. Lots of bitching, sexy girls and stupid tasks, the serial is worth watching. But I am surprised by one thing...why varun???? He looks like a loser, has an attitude for nothing, and its a pain to watch him commenting on those gorgeous girls.

I like this show!

Review: De Taali

Rimmi Sen is hot! I was disappointed with the start by poor acting by almost every lead character, but thanks to rimmi that the movie turned out to be NOT bad. Some times, while watching it, I actually laughed. Story of 3 friends, Ritesh, Aiesha and Aftab who are living a lavish life( Aftab has a rich dad, but what about the others?? I donno.) when one fine day, people realize that Aiesha and Aftab are made for each other. But Aftab feels for Rimmi( Good choice, because Aiesha looked pathetic, whats happened to her dressing style???). Ok, so people plan to stop them from marrying, Rimmi's past is explored... and in the end...Aiesha gets Aftab...and like this blog...the movie is dull for most of its parts...

But promising role by Rimmi sen!! HOT and SPICY.
