Holy cow, I wrote a book!
You might wonder why
the IContextMenu interface
operates on menu identifier offsets so much
rather than with the menu identifiers themselves.
The reason is to support something which I will call "compositing".
You may have multiple context menu extensions that you want to
combine into one giant context menu extension. The shell does this
all over the place. For example, the context menu we have been
playing with all this time is really a composite of several
individual context menu extensions: the static registry verbs
plus all the COM-based extensions like "Send To", "Open With",
and anything else that may have been added by a program you installed
(like a virus checker).
So before we can write a compositor, we need to
have a second context menu to composite. Here's a quickie that
implements two commands, let's call them "Top" and "Next" for lack
of anything interesting to do.
class CTopContextMenu : public IContextMenu
// *** IUnknown ***
STDMETHODIMP QueryInterface(REFIID riid, void **ppv);
STDMETHODIMP_(ULONG) AddRef();
STDMETHODIMP_(ULONG) Release();
// *** IContextMenu ***
STDMETHODIMP QueryContextMenu(HMENU hmenu,
UINT indexMenu, UINT idCmdFirst,
UINT idCmdLast, UINT uFlags);
STDMETHODIMP InvokeCommand(
LPCMINVOKECOMMANDINFO lpici);
STDMETHODIMP GetCommandString(
UINT_PTR idCmd,
UINT uType,
UINT * pwReserved,
LPSTR pszName,
UINT cchMax);
static HRESULT Create(REFIID riid, void **ppv);
CTopContextMenu() : m_cRef(1), m_cids(0) { }
HRESULT ValidateCommand(UINT_PTR idCmd, BOOL fUnicode,
UINT *puOffset);
HRESULT Top(LPCMINVOKECOMMANDINFO lpici);
HRESULT Next(LPCMINVOKECOMMANDINFO lpici);
ULONG m_cRef;
UINT m_cids;
The class declaration isn't particularly interesting. We
are not owner-draw so we don't bother implementing
IContextMenu2 or
First, some basic paperwork for getting off the ground.
HRESULT CTopContextMenu::Create(REFIID riid, void **ppv)
*ppv = NULL;
HRESULT hr;
CTopContextMenu *self = new CTopContextMenu();
if (self) {
hr = self->QueryInterface(riid, ppv);
} else {
hr = E_OUTOFMEMORY;
return hr;
We have two commands. Instead of hard-coding the numbers
0 and 1,
let's give them nice names.
#define TOPCMD_TOP 0
#define TOPCMD_NEXT 1
#define TOPCMD_MAX 2
And here's a table that we're going to use to help us manage
these two commands.
const struct COMMANDINFO {
LPCSTR pszNameA;
LPCWSTR pszNameW;
LPCSTR pszHelpA;
LPCWSTR pszHelpW;
} c_rgciTop[] = {
{ "top", L"top",
"The top command", L"The top command", }, // TOPCMD_TOP
{ "next", L"next",
"The next command", L"The next command", },// TOPCMD_NEXT
Our TOPCMD_*
values conveniently double as indices into the
c_rgciTop array.
Next come the boring parts of a COM object:
HRESULT CTopContextMenu::QueryInterface(REFIID riid, void **ppv)
IUnknown *punk = NULL;
if (riid == IID_IUnknown) {
punk = static_cast<IUnknown*>(this);
} else if (riid == IID_IContextMenu) {
punk = static_cast<IContextMenu*>(this);
*ppv = punk;
if (punk) {
return S_OK;
} else {
return E_NOINTERFACE;
ULONG CTopContextMenu::AddRef()
return ++m_cRef;
ULONG CTopContextMenu::Release()
ULONG cRef = --m_cRef;
if (cRef == 0) delete this;
return cRef;
Finally, we get to something interesting:
Things to watch out for in the code below:
HRESULT CTopContextMenu::QueryContextMenu(
HMENU hmenu, UINT indexMenu, UINT idCmdFirst,
UINT idCmdLast, UINT uFlags)
m_cids = 0;
if ((int)(idCmdLast - idCmdFirst + 1) >= TOPCMD_MAX &&
!(uFlags & CMF_DEFAULTONLY)) {
InsertMenu(hmenu, indexMenu + TOPCMD_TOP, MF_BYPOSITION,
idCmdFirst + TOPCMD_TOP, TEXT("Top"));
InsertMenu(hmenu, indexMenu + TOPCMD_NEXT, MF_BYPOSITION,
idCmdFirst + TOPCMD_NEXT, TEXT("Next"));
m_cids = TOPCMD_MAX;
return MAKE_HRESULT(SEVERITY_SUCCESS, 0, m_cids);
In order to implement the next few methods, we need to have
some culture-invariant comparison functions.
int strcmpiA_invariant(LPCSTR psz1, LPCSTR psz2)
return CompareStringA(LOCALE_INVARIANT, NORM_IGNORECASE,
psz1, -1, psz2, -1) - CSTR_EQUAL;
int strcmpiW_invariant(LPCWSTR psz1, LPCWSTR psz2)
return CompareStringW(LOCALE_INVARIANT, NORM_IGNORECASE,
psz1, -1, psz2, -1) - CSTR_EQUAL;
These are like the strcmpi functions except that they
use the invariant locale since they will be used to compare
canonical strings rather than strings that are meaningful to
an end user.
(More discussion here in MSDN.)
Now we have enough to write a helper function which is
central to the context menu: Figuring out which command
somebody is talking about.
Commands can be passed to the IContextMenu interface either
(a) by ordinal or by name, and either (b) as ANSI or
as Unicode. This counts as either three ways or four ways,
depending on whether you treat "ANSI as ordinal" and "Unicode
as ordinal" as the same thing or not.
HRESULT CTopContextMenu::ValidateCommand(UINT_PTR idCmd,
BOOL fUnicode, UINT *puOffset)
if (!IS_INTRESOURCE(idCmd)) {
if (fUnicode) {
for (idCmd = 0; idCmd < TOPCMD_MAX; idCmd++) {
if (strcmpiW_invariant((LPCWSTR)idCmd,
c_rgciTop[idCmd].pszNameW) == 0) {
} else {
for (idCmd = 0; idCmd < TOPCMD_MAX; idCmd++) {
if (strcmpiA_invariant((LPCSTR)idCmd,
c_rgciTop[idCmd].pszNameA) == 0) {
if (idCmd < m_cids) {
*puOffset = (UINT)idCmd;
return S_OK;
return E_INVALIDARG;
This helper function takes a "something" parameter in the
form of a UINT_PTR and a flag that indicates whether that
"something" is ANSI or Unicode. The function itself checks
whether the "something" is a string or an ordinal. If a string,
then it converts that string into an ordinal by looking for
it in the table of commands in the appropriate character set
and using a locale-insensitive comparison.
Notice that if the string is not found, then
idCmd is left equal to TOPCMD_MAX,
which is an invalid value (and therefore is neatly handled
by the fall-through).
After the (possibly failed) conversion to an ordinal, the
ordinal is checked for validity; if valid, then the ordinal
is returned back for further processing.
With this helper function the implementation of the other methods
of the IContextMenu interface are a lot easier.
We continue with the IContextMenu::InvokeCommand method:
HRESULT CTopContextMenu::InvokeCommand(
LPCMINVOKECOMMANDINFO lpici) {
CMINVOKECOMMANDINFOEX* lpicix = (CMINVOKECOMMANDINFOEX*)lpici;
BOOL fUnicode = lpici->cbSize >= sizeof(CMINVOKECOMMANDINFOEX) &&
(lpici->fMask & CMIC_MASK_UNICODE);
UINT idCmd;
HRESULT hr = ValidateCommand(fUnicode ? (UINT_PTR)lpicix->lpVerbW
: (UINT_PTR)lpici->lpVerb,
fUnicode, &idCmd);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
switch (idCmd) {
case TOPCMD_TOP: hr = Top(lpici); break;
case TOPCMD_NEXT: hr = Next(lpici); break;
default: hr = E_INVALIDARG; break;
return hr;
Here is a case where the "Are there three cases or four?" question
lands squarely on the side of "four". There are two forms of the
CMINVOKECOMMANDINFO structure, the base structure (which is
ANSI-only) and the extended structure
CMINVOKECOMMANDINFOEX which adds Unicode support.
If the structure is CMINVOKECOMMANDINFOEX and the
CMIC_MASK_UNICODE flag is set, then the Unicode fields
of the CMINVOKECOMMANDINFOEX structure should be used
in preference to the ANSI ones.
This means that there are indeed four scenarios:
After figuring out whether the parameter is ANSI or Unicode,
we ask ValidateCommand to do the work of validating
the verb and converting it to an ordinal, at which point we use
the ordinal in a switch statement to dispatch the
actual operation.
Failing to implement string-based command invocation is an
extremely common oversight in context menu implementations.
Doing so prevents people from invoking
your verbs programmatically.
"Why should I bother to let
people invoke my verbs programmatically?"
Because if you don't,
then people won't be able to write programs like the one we are
developing in this series of articles! For example, suppose
your context menu extension lets people "Frob" a file. If you
don't expose this verb programmability, then it is impossible to write
a program that, say, takes all the files modified in the last
twenty-four hours and Frobs them.
(I'm always amused by the people who complain
that Explorer doesn't expose enough customizability
while simultaneously not providing the same degree of
programmatic customizability
in their own programs.)
Oh wait, I guess I should implement those two operations.
They don't do anything particularly interesting.
HRESULT CTopContextMenu::Top(LPCMINVOKECOMMANDINFO lpici)
MessageBox(lpici->hwnd, TEXT("Top"), TEXT("Title"), MB_OK);
return S_OK;
HRESULT CTopContextMenu::Next(LPCMINVOKECOMMANDINFO lpici)
MessageBox(lpici->hwnd, TEXT("Next"), TEXT("Title"), MB_OK);
return S_OK;
The remaining method is
IContextMenu::GetCommandString, which is probably
the one people most frequently get wrong since the consequences of
getting it wrong are not immediately visible to the implementor.
It is the people who are trying to access the context menu
programmatically who most likely to notice that the method isn't
working properly.
HRESULT CTopContextMenu::GetCommandString(
UINT_PTR idCmd,
UINT uType,
UINT * pwReserved,
LPSTR pszName,
UINT cchMax)
UINT id;
HRESULT hr = ValidateCommand(idCmd, uType & GCS_UNICODE, &id);
if (FAILED(hr)) {
if (uType == GCS_VALIDATEA || uType == GCS_VALIDATEW) {
hr = S_FALSE;
return hr;
switch (uType) {
case GCS_VERBA:
lstrcpynA(pszName, c_rgciTop[id].pszNameA, cchMax);
return S_OK;
case GCS_VERBW:
lstrcpynW((LPWSTR)pszName, c_rgciTop[id].pszNameW, cchMax);
return S_OK;
case GCS_HELPTEXTA:
lstrcpynA(pszName, c_rgciTop[id].pszHelpA, cchMax);
return S_OK;
case GCS_HELPTEXTW:
lstrcpynW((LPWSTR)pszName, c_rgciTop[id].pszHelpW, cchMax);
return S_OK;
case GCS_VALIDATEA:
case GCS_VALIDATEW:
return S_OK; // all they wanted was validation
return E_NOTIMPL;
Here again we use the
ValidateCommand method to do the hard work
of validating the command, which is passed in the
idCmd parameter, with interpretive assistance
in the GCS_UNICODE flag of the uType
If the command is not valid, then we propagate the error code,
except in the GCS_VALIDATE cases, where the documentation
says that we should return S_FALSE to indicate that
the command is not valid.
If the command is valid, we return the requested
information, which is handled by a simple switch
Okay, now that we have this context menu, we can even test it
out a little bit. Throw out the changes from
part 9
and return to the program as it was in
part 6, making the following change to the
OnContextMenu function:
void OnContextMenu(HWND hwnd, HWND hwndContext, int xPos, int yPos)
POINT pt = { xPos, yPos };
if (pt.x == -1 && pt.y == -1) {
pt.x = pt.y = 0;
ClientToScreen(hwnd, &pt);
IContextMenu *pcm;
if (SUCCEEDED(CTopContextMenu::Create(
IID_IContextMenu, (void**)&pcm))) {
We now obtain our context menu not by calling
the GetUIObjectOfFile function but rather
by constructing a CTopContextMenu object.
Since our CTopContextMenu implements
IContextMenu, all the remaining code can be
left unchanged.
When you run this program, observe that even the help text works.
Ah, one of the powers of operating with interfaces rather than
objects: You can swap out the object and the rest of the code
doesn't even realize what happened, so long as the interface stays
the same.
Okay, today was a long day spent just laying groundwork,
just writing what has to be written. No breakthroughs,
no "aha" moments, just typing. Read the method, understand
what you have to do, and do it.
Next time, we're going to see context menu composition,
using this context menu as one of the components.
There are two ways of declaring COM interfaces, the hard way
and the easy way.
The easy way is to use an IDL file and let the MIDL compiler
generate your COM interface for you.
If you let MIDL do the work, then you also get
__uuidof support at no extra charge, which is a very nice bonus.
The hard way is to do it all by hand. If you choose this route,
your interface will look something like this:
#undef INTERFACE
#define INTERFACE ISample2
DECLARE_INTERFACE_(ISample2, ISample)
// *** IUnknown methods ***
STDMETHOD(QueryInterface)(THIS_ REFIID riid, void **ppv) PURE;
STDMETHOD_(ULONG,AddRef)(THIS) PURE;
STDMETHOD_(ULONG,Release)(THIS) PURE;
// ** ISample methods ***
STDMETHOD(Method1)(THIS) PURE;
STDMETHOD_(int, Method2)(THIS) PURE;
// *** ISample2 methods ***
STDMETHOD(Method3)(THIS_ int iParameter) PURE;
STDMETHOD_(int, Method4)(THIS_ int iParameter) PURE;
What are the rules?
There is a reason for each of these rules. They have to do with
being able to use the same header for both C and C++ declarations
and with interoperability with different compilers and platforms.
And you wonder why I called it "the hard way".
Similar rules apply when you are implementing an interface.
Use the STDMETHODIMP and
STDMETHODIMP_ macros to declare your
implementations so that they get the proper calling convention
attached to them.
We'll see examples of this
next time.
Just because they say they're non-partisan
doesn't mean that they're non-partisan.
Friday night, I got a phone call from "Victor" at
"Washington Counts" who came right out and asked me
whom I was going to vote for.
I asked him to repeat the name of the organization he
represents, and he said, "Washington Counts, a non-partisan
organization, working in cooperation with Emily's List."
I couldn't find any information about "Washington Counts",
but I did find
Emily's List,
which is a blatantly partisan group.
Their own
About Page
say that they are "dedicated to... electing pro-choice
Democratic women".
I pointed out to "Victor" that Emily's List is a partisan
group. He ignored me and repeated his question,
asking me whom I was going to vote for.
I told him that I was unlikely to be inclined to assist
an organization that start out by lying to me.
And then I heard a click and a recorded voice saying,
"This survey was sponsored by Emily's List.
On the web at www.emilyslist.org."
Let's see what happened here. Somebody claimed
to be from "Washington Counts", but in fact they
were from "Emily's List".
[Corrected identification 9:38am.]
That person claimed to
be representing a non-partisan group, but in fact
the group is highly partisan.
I guess if you're going to lie, you may as well go all-out.
Of course, this could have been a double-fake-out.
Perhaps it was really a pro-life Republican group
pretending to be a pro-choice Democratic group?
These sorts of double-fake-outs are not unheard of.
In California, anybody who pays the requisite fee
can get a statement printed in the voter's guide.
It has been known to occur that somebody who holds one
position on an issue submits
an incoherent or absurd statement in support
of the opposition position,
thereby making the opposition look stupid.
During the 1996 U.S. presidential election primary season,
Candidate X sponsored a telephone survey asking voters
"If Candidate Y took <controversial position>,
would your opinion of Candidate Y go up, down,
or stay the same?"
The intent here was to
start the rumor that Candidate Y was actually considering
taking said controversial position (which would have
undermined Candidate Y's traditional support).
You can never tell where the dirty tricks are coming from
in politics.
The indexMenu, idCmdFirst and idCmdLast parameters to
the IContextMenu::QueryContextMenu method
allow you, the host, to control where in the context menu
the IContextMenu will insert its commands.
To illustrate this, let's put two bonus commands on our
context menu, with the boring names "Top" and "Bottom".
We need to reserve some space in our menu identifiers, so
let's carve some space out for our private commands:
#define SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST 1
#define SCRATCH_QCM_LAST 0x6FFF
#define IDM_TOP 0x7000
#define IDM_BOTTOM 0x7001
We reserved 0x1000 commands for ourselves, allowing the
IContextMenu to play with commands 1 through 0x6FFF.
(We could have carved our space out of the low end, too,
by increasing SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST instead of decreasing
Go back to
the program we had in part 6
and make these changes:
void OnContextMenu(HWND hwnd, HWND hwndContext, int xPos, int yPos)
POINT pt = { xPos, yPos };
if (pt.x == -1 && pt.y == -1) {
pt.x = pt.y = 0;
ClientToScreen(hwnd, &pt);
IContextMenu *pcm;
if (SUCCEEDED(GetUIObjectOfFile(hwnd, L"C:\\Windows\\clock.avi",
IID_IContextMenu, (void**)&pcm))) {
HMENU hmenu = CreatePopupMenu();
if (hmenu) {
if (InsertMenu(hmenu, 0, MF_BYPOSITION,
IDM_TOP, TEXT("Top")) &&
InsertMenu(hmenu, 1, MF_BYPOSITION,
IDM_BOTTOM, TEXT("Bottom")) &&
SUCCEEDED(pcm->QueryContextMenu(hmenu, 1,
pcm->QueryInterface(IID_IContextMenu2, (void**)&g_pcm2);
pcm->QueryInterface(IID_IContextMenu3, (void**)&g_pcm3);
int iCmd = TrackPopupMenuEx(hmenu, TPM_RETURNCMD,
pt.x, pt.y, hwnd, NULL);
if (g_pcm2) {
g_pcm2 = NULL;
if (g_pcm3) {
g_pcm3 = NULL;
if (iCmd == IDM_TOP) {
MessageBox(hwnd, TEXT("Top"), TEXT("Custom"), MB_OK);
} else if (iCmd == IDM_BOTTOM) {
MessageBox(hwnd, TEXT("Bottom"), TEXT("Custom"), MB_OK);
} else if (iCmd > 0) {
CMINVOKECOMMANDINFOEX info = { 0 };
info.cbSize = sizeof(info);
info.fMask = CMIC_MASK_UNICODE | CMIC_MASK_PTINVOKE;
if (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) < 0) {
info.fMask |= CMIC_MASK_CONTROL_DOWN;
if (GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) < 0) {
info.fMask |= CMIC_MASK_SHIFT_DOWN;
info.hwnd = hwnd;
info.lpVerb = MAKEINTRESOURCEA(iCmd - SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST);
info.lpVerbW = MAKEINTRESOURCEW(iCmd - SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST);
info.nShow = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
info.ptInvoke = pt;
[Corrected insertion location for "Bottom" 9:42am.]
Before calling IContextMenu::QueryContextMenu, we added our own
custom commands (with menu identifiers outside the range we offer
to IContextMenu::QueryContextMenu so they won't conflict), and
then call IContextMenu::QueryContextMenu passing the new reduced
range as well as specifying that the insertion position is 1 instead
of 0.
When we pass the context menu to to IContextMenu::QueryContextMenu,
the menu looks like this:
By passing 1 as the insertion point, we are telling the context menu
handler that it should insert its commands at position 1
(pushing out what is currently at positions 1 and onwards).
After displaying this enhanced context menu, we check which
command the user picked, whether it's one of ours (which we handle
directly) or one from the inserted portion of the context menu
(which we dispatch to the handler).
There is a small improvement that can be made to
to the program we wrote last time.
It involves taking advantage of the last parameter to
the IContextMenu::QueryContextMenu method:
This flag is set when the user is activating the default action,
typically by double-clicking.
This flag provides a hint for the shortcut menu extension
to add nothing if it does not modify the default item in the menu.
A shortcut menu extension or drag-and-drop handler
should not add any menu items if this value is specified.
A namespace extension should add only the default item (if any).
This flag is set when the user is activating the default action,
typically by double-clicking.
This flag provides a hint for the shortcut menu extension
to add nothing if it does not modify the default item in the menu.
A shortcut menu extension or drag-and-drop handler
should not add any menu items if this value is specified.
A namespace extension should add only the default item (if any).
As the text from MSDN indicates, this flag is a hint to the
IContextMenu implementation
that it should worry only about the default command.
void OnContextMenu(HWND hwnd, HWND hwndContext, UINT xPos, UINT yPos)
IContextMenu *pcm;
if (SUCCEEDED(GetUIObjectOfFile(hwnd, L"C:\\Windows\\clock.avi",
IID_IContextMenu, (void**)&pcm))) {
HMENU hmenu = CreatePopupMenu();
if (hmenu) {
if (SUCCEEDED(pcm->QueryContextMenu(hmenu, 0,
UINT id = GetMenuDefaultItem(hmenu, FALSE, 0);
if (id != (UINT)-1) {
CMINVOKECOMMANDINFO info = { 0 };
info.cbSize = sizeof(info);
info.hwnd = hwnd;
info.lpVerb = MAKEINTRESOURCEA(id - SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST);
With this change on my machine, the time taken by the call to
IContextMenu::QueryContextMenu dropped from 100ms to 50ms.
Your mileage may vary.
It depends on how many context menu extensions you have and
how well they respect the CMF_DEFAULTONLY flag.
(And this exercise highlights how important it is that people
who implement the IContextMenu
interface pay attention to the flags.
If your context menu handler doesn't respect the CMF_DEFAULTONLY
flag, then you're part of the problem.)
When we last left our hero,
we were wondering how to invoke the default verb programmatically.
Now that we've learned a lot about how IContextMenu is used
in the interactive case, we can use that information to guide
us in its use in the noninteractive case.
The key here is using the HMENU to
identify the default menu item
and just invoke it directly.
Go back to the program from part 1 where we left it and
make these changes:
void OnContextMenu(HWND hwnd, HWND hwndContext, UINT xPos, UINT yPos)
IContextMenu *pcm;
if (SUCCEEDED(GetUIObjectOfFile(hwnd, L"C:\\Windows\\clock.avi",
IID_IContextMenu, (void**)&pcm))) {
HMENU hmenu = CreatePopupMenu();
if (hmenu) {
if (SUCCEEDED(pcm->QueryContextMenu(hmenu, 0,
UINT id = GetMenuDefaultItem(hmenu, FALSE, 0);
if (id != (UINT)-1) {
CMINVOKECOMMANDINFO info = { 0 };
info.cbSize = sizeof(info);
info.hwnd = hwnd;
info.lpVerb = MAKEINTRESOURCEA(id - SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST);
We added the call to
GetMenuDefaultItem to obtain the default menu item
and then set the verb in the form of a menu identifier offset.
(I.e., we subtract the starting point we passed to
This code works but could be better.
Next time, we'll make a minuscule tweak that improves the performance.
Part of the terms of the
Continental Airlines OnePass Account Privacy rules seem unusually onerous.
You are authorized to access OnePass account information solely
to obtain information regarding your OnePass account and
for no other purpose.
You may not delegate or grant any power of attorney or
other authorization regarding any such access.
Any other use of OnePass account information is strictly prohibited.
You may reproduce information regarding your own account for personal use and,
in consideration of this authorization,
you agree that
any copy of such information shall retain
all copyright and other proprietary notices contained therein.
Redistribution in any way requires the express written consent
of Continental Airlines.
Under these terms, I cannot tell you that I have 6058 OnePass miles
in my account. Because that is a use of OnePass account information that
is not explicitly granted above.
In fact, if I were to order a ticket from Continental via their
online purchasing system, I would not be allowed
to enter my OnePass account number,
since disclosing my account number is not an explicitly authorized
(I am permitted only to access my account information, not to disclose it.)
Furthermore, the second highlighted phrase says that even
when I jot down my mileage on a scrap of paper,
I have to write down next to it, "Copyright (c) 2004 Continental
Airlines, Inc. All rights reserved."
Similarly, if I tell my brother how many miles I have, I can't
just say, hypothetically,
"I have 6058 miles."
I have to say,
"I have 6058 miles, Copyright 2004 Continental Airlines, Inc.
All rights reserved."
And you wonder why people say this country has too many lawyers.
On many context menus you will see an item in boldface.
For example, if you right-click a text file, you will most
likely see "Open" in boldface at the top of the mean.
What does the boldface mean?
The boldface menu item is the default command for that menu.
It represents the action that would have occurred if you
had double-clicked the item instead of viewing its context menu.
In the above example, the fact that "Open" is in boldface means
that if you had double-clicked the text file instead of right-clicked
it, you would have opened the document.
Programmatically, the default menu item is set via
the SetMenuDefaultItem function
and can be retrieved with the corresponding
GetMenuDefaultItem function
If you put a default menu item in a submenu,
then Windows will invoke the default item in the submenu when you
double-clicking the submenu's parent.
But if you put a default menu item in a top-level menu (i.e., not
on a submenu), then it is
your responsibility to invoke the default menu item when the user
double-clicks the object that led to the menu.
(This last bit should be obvious: It is the code for the object
being clicked on which decides what to do on a double-click.)
We'll see more about default menu commands
next time.
One of the subtleties of context menus is showing help in the
status bar. Now, the program we've been developing doesn't
have a status bar, so we'll fake it by putting the help text
in the title bar.
The key method for this task is
IContextMenu::GetCommandString, which
allows communication with a context menu handler about the
verbs in the menu.
We'll have to stash yet another interface in our "instance variables
disguised as globals".
IContextMenu *g_pcm;
(Remember, in a "real program", these would be per-window instance
variables, not globals.)
We also need to update that variable during menu tracking.
g_pcm = pcm;
int iCmd = TrackPopupMenuEx(hmenu, TPM_RETURNCMD, pt.x, pt.y, hwnd, NULL);
g_pcm = NULL;
With that out of the way, we can now provide feedback as the
user browses the popup menu.
[Introduction of g_pcm variable added 29 September.]
// This code is buggy - see below.
void OnMenuSelect(HWND hwnd, HMENU hmenu,
int item, HMENU hmenuPopup, UINT flags)
if (g_pcm && item >= SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST &&
item <= SCRATCH_QCM_LAST) {
TCHAR szBuf[MAX_PATH];
if (FAILED(g_pcm->GetCommandString(item - SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST,
(LPSTR)szBuf, MAX_PATH))) {
lstrcpyn(szBuf, TEXT("No help available."), MAX_PATH);
SetWindowText(hwnd, szBuf);
This function checks whether the menu selection is in
the range of items that we allowed the context menu to own.
If so, we ask for the help string (or use fallback text if
the context menu handler didn't provide a help string) and
display it as our window title.
Finally, we insert this function into our window procedure.
We want to update the menu selection status even if the
context menu handlers do something with it, so we need to
call OnMenuSelect before dispatching to the context menu handlers.
WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uiMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
if (uiMsg == WM_MENUSELECT) {
HANDLE_WM_MENUSELECT(hwnd, wParam, lParam, OnMenuSelect);
if (g_pcm3) {
Wait a second, there was a comment up there that said that
the OnMenuSelect function is buggy. Where's the bug?
Well, technically there is no bug, but if you run this program as-is
(and I suggest that you do),
you'll find that what you get is rather erratic.
That's because there are a lot of buggy context menu handlers
out there.
Some context menu handlers don't support Unicode; others don't
support Ansi. What's really fun is that instead of returning
E_NOTIMPL, they return S_OK but don't actually do anything.
Other context menus have buffer overflow problems and write
to the buffer beyond the actual size you specified.
Welcome to the world of application compatibility.
Let's write a helper function that tries to hide all of these
HRESULT IContextMenu_GetCommandString(
IContextMenu *pcm, UINT_PTR idCmd, UINT uFlags,
UINT *pwReserved, LPWSTR pszName, UINT cchMax)
// Callers are expected to be using Unicode.
if (!(uFlags & GCS_UNICODE)) return E_INVALIDARG;
// Some context menu handlers have off-by-one bugs and will
// overflow the output buffer. Let's artificially reduce the
// buffer size so a one-character overflow won't corrupt memory.
if (cchMax <= 1) return E_FAIL;
// First try the Unicode message. Preset the output buffer
// with a known value because some handlers return S_OK without
// doing anything.
pszName[0] = L'\0';
HRESULT hr = pcm->GetCommandString(idCmd, uFlags, pwReserved,
(LPSTR)pszName, cchMax);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pszName[0] == L'\0') {
// Rats, a buggy IContextMenu handler that returned success
// even though it failed.
hr = E_NOTIMPL;
if (FAILED(hr)) {
// try again with ANSI - pad the buffer with one extra character
// to compensate for context menu handlers that overflow by
// one character.
LPSTR pszAnsi = (LPSTR)LocalAlloc(LMEM_FIXED,
(cchMax + 1) * sizeof(CHAR));
if (pszAnsi) {
pszAnsi[0] = '\0';
hr = pcm->GetCommandString(idCmd, uFlags & ~GCS_UNICODE,
pwReserved, pszAnsi, cchMax);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pszAnsi[0] == '\0') {
// Rats, a buggy IContextMenu handler that returned success
// even though it failed.
hr = E_NOTIMPL;
if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
if (MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, pszAnsi, -1,
pszName, cchMax) == 0) {
hr = E_FAIL;
} else {
hr = E_OUTOFMEMORY;
return hr;
The shell has lots of strange functions like this.
[pszAnsi comparison fixed, 29 September.]
With this helper function, we can fix our help text function.
void OnMenuSelect(HWND hwnd, HMENU hmenu,
int item, HMENU hmenuPopup, UINT flags)
if (g_pcm && item >= SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST &&
item <= SCRATCH_QCM_LAST) {
WCHAR szBuf[MAX_PATH];
if (FAILED(IContextMenu_GetCommandString(g_pcm,
item - SCRATCH_QCM_FIRST,
szBuf, MAX_PATH))) {
lstrcpynW(szBuf, L"No help available.", MAX_PATH);
SetWindowTextW(hwnd, szBuf);
This new version displays help texts for all the context menu
handlers that support it, in spite of the attempts of many
of those context menu handlers to get it wrong or even
create a buffer overflow security vulnerability.
Okay, that was quite a long digression from
part 1 of this series.
Let's return to the subject of invoking the default verb
next time.
One bug that was called out immediately in
our first attempt at displaying the context menu to the user
is that the Open With and Send To submenus don't work.
The reason for this is that these submenus are delay-generated
(which explains why they don't contain anything interesting when
you expand them) and owner-drawn (which you can't notice yet
because of the first problem, but trust me, they are).
This is where the
IContextMenu2::HandleMenuMsg and
IContextMenu3::HandleMenuMsg2 methods
are used.
Historical note:
is on its own interface rather than being merged with
the base interface
because it was added late in Windows 95 development,
so it was considered safer to add a derived interface than
to make everybody who had been writing Windows 95 shell
extensions go back and rewrite their code.
was added in Internet Explorer 4 (I think)
when it became clear that the ability for a context menu extension
to override the default message return value was necessary
in order to support keyboard accessibility in owner-drawn context menus.
In a "real program", these two variables would be class members
associated with the window, but this is just a sample program,
so they are globals.
When you write your own programs, don't use global variables
here because they will result in mass mayhem once you get
a second window, since both of them will try to talk to the interface
even though only the window displaying the context menu should be
doing so.
IContextMenu2 *g_pcm2;
IContextMenu3 *g_pcm3;
These two new variables track the IContextMenu2 and IContextMenu3
interfaces of the active tracked popup menu. We need to initialize
and uninitalize them around our call to TrackPopupMenuEx:
pcm->QueryInterface(IID_IContextMenu2, (void**)&g_pcm2);
pcm->QueryInterface(IID_IContextMenu3, (void**)&g_pcm3);
int iCmd = TrackPopupMenuEx(hmenu, TPM_RETURNCMD, pt.x, pt.y, hwnd, NULL);
if (g_pcm2) {
g_pcm2 = NULL;
if (g_pcm3) {
g_pcm3 = NULL;
And finally we need to invoke the HandleMenuMessage/HandleMenuMessage
methods in the window procedure:
WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uiMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
if (g_pcm3) {
LRESULT lres;
if (SUCCEEDED(g_pcm3->HandleMenuMsg2(uiMsg, wParam, lParam, &lres))) {
return lres;
} else if (g_pcm2) {
if (SUCCEEDED(g_pcm2->HandleMenuMsg(uiMsg, wParam, lParam))) {
return 0;
switch (uiMsg) {
In the window procedure, we ask the context menu whether it
wishes to handle the menu message. If so, then we stop and
return the desired value (if HandleMenuMsg2) or just zero
(if HandleMenuMsg).
With these changes, run the scratch program again and observe
that the Open With and Send To submenus now operate as expected.
Next time: Getting menu help text.

All of this may be old hat to Brooklynites, where "gentrification" has been moving with a seeming inevitability since the 1970s, but cities across America — as well as additional Brooklyn neighborhoods — are now embracing upscale change, as the Associated Press reports—
JERSEY CITY — To many longtime Jersey City residents, there's no better mascot than their mayor, a colorful veteran of the region's rough-and-tumble politics who released an album of Christmas classics while in office.
One of the most vital outreach programs performed through the Brooklyn Bar Association is the practice of holding regular forums -- open to the public at no charge -- dealing with critical, timely topics such as the upcoming session entitled "Consumer Debt And Bankruptcy -- The Process, Defenses and Options."Fern Finkel, chair of the BBA's Foundation Law Committee, reports that this program will get underway 6 p.m., the evening of April 30 at BBA Headquarters, 123 Remsen St.
In the fall of 2012, New York became the first state to require lawyers to perform 50 hours of pro bono work as a condition for getting a license. The new rule, which takes effect in 2015, aims to help fill the legal needs of New York's poor, and will apply to those sitting for the 2015 New York State bar exam.
The pro bono mandate can be completed with, for example, internships at public service organizations. Students can also fulfill the mandate by participating in a variety of clinics provided by their respective law schools.
Brooklyn Law School hosted its 28th annual Jerome Prince Memorial Evidence Competition earlier this month. The competition, which focuses on the students' skill in appellate advocacy, drew 36 teams from various law schools nationwide.
Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes Wednesday announced the conviction Wednesday of a second man, Ronell Bonds, for Murder in the First Degree for killing 16-year-old Al-Taya Conyers in Boerum Hill in May 2010.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Guy Mangano presided over the jury trial.
A Brooklyn mom is spreading the word to Brownstone parents that a "stroller march" is planned for this Saturday to support Long Island College Hospital (LICH), now threatened with closure.
"Many of us have either had a baby at LICH, plan to have a baby at LICH or have taken our kids to LICH for medical care," said Claire K. Tuck in a statement. "Most if not all of us have enjoyed LICH park. LICH is now seriously threatened as the state of New York wants to sell off this property and turn it into a high-rise condo."
On April 8, members of the Brooklyn legal community came together to discuss the impact of two iconic Supreme Court rulings on the ways criminal plea bargains are conducted.
In 2012, the United States Supreme Court issued two rulings regarding effective counsel and plea bargaining. In both cases, Missouri v. Frye and Lafler v. Cooper, the court held that the right to effective counsel granted in the 6th Amendment extends to plea bargains and negotiations.
During the dance performances this past Saturday night at Gowanus Arts, I realized that Andy Warhol based his "15 minutes of fame" notion on a viewer's attention span between TV commercial breaks in the 1960s.
Now, in an age of tweets and podcasts, it's hard for choreographers to know what is compelling, or, at the very least, appealing to an audience.
Founded in 1910, the BHA has a distinguished history, particularly as a watchdog protecting the quality of life in New York's first Landmark Community. In recent decades, that role has expanded to districts and projects adjacent to the Heights, as their effect on the Heights is often critical but perhaps not recognized by the community at large.
INBrooklyn: How would you describe the mission of the BHA today?
After years of anticipation, the Citi Bike Share program is finally hitting the streets of Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Heights Association, which has expressed concerns over the program in the past, is excited for the programs launch in May.

This is from a few seasons ago, but a really good example.

This is from a few seasons ago, but a really good example.
All officials must complete online education regardless of level or experience. Online Education consists of a series of Course categories (total of six).
All course categories must be completed to finish online training.
All modules within the Pre-Required and Required categories must be completed. The remaining four categories contain a menu of elective modules and an official must complete the required number of modules (e.g. 4 modules of 7 offered) within the category to complete the category.
There will be a short quiz at the end of each module that the official must pass to complete the module and continue with education. If the official does not pass the quiz, the module will reset and the official must complete the module again.
Online Membership Registration must be completed for 24-hours before access to the Online Education System is granted.
LEVEL 1 Complete
LEVEL 2 Complete
LEVEL 3 Complete
LEVEL 4 Complete
An official may not change their Registration Level to a higher level once online Membership Registration is completed.
Taking a Closed Book Exam at a level higher than an official's level of Membership Registration will not satisfy their Closed Book Exam requirement (a Level 3 CB Exam will not complete Level 2 Registration). If a higher level exam is submitted, the exam will be rejected and the official will be "completed" as a Level 1 for the season.
"Complete" means that an official has met all the criteria (exams, seminars, online training, etc.) at the level for which he/she has applied. "Incomplete" means that an official has filed an application but has not completed all the necessary criteria to be "complete" at any level.
A new official (not registered the previous year) may not officiate until he/she is completely registered. A returning official ("complete" the previous season) may not officiate after November 30 of the current season (expiration date on previous year's card) unless he/she is completely registered for the current season.
As part of USA Hockey's continued effort to create a safe playing environment for all participants, those officials who are 18 years of age or older (as of August 1 of the current registration season) are required to complete an online SafeSport Education Program every two seasons. The online program is free of charge.
You will need your current USA Hockey Registration Confirmation Number (not your Officials Number) to complete training. Registration confirmation numbers can be obtained at the main USA Hockey Registration page.
The 2015-16 registration season for the Officiating Program begins on August 3, 2015 and all incomplete registrations must be completed by 12:00am (midnight), April 30 of the following year. USA Hockey officials registration is valid for the entire season in any district or state in the United States. Membership in a State or Local Officials Association is not required for USA Hockey officials registration.
NEW FOR 2015-16 REGISTRATION: All officials must complete USA Hockey Officiating Membership Registration prior to completing Classroom Seminar Registration, their Open Book Exam, or Online Module Education.
As we enter the new 2015-16 registration season for officials, I want to give all of the membership an update as to what changes to expect this season. The Officials Section has been busy since the 2015 Winter Meeting working on implementing the changes that were discussed and voted on by the District Referee's-in-Chief to the registration, testing and online seminar programs.
First, there will be an informational video available BEFORE an official registers with USA Hockey that will outline the requirements and commitment that an individual will have to make in order to complete their registration. Next, and a very important change, starting with this season, in order to register for a seminar an official will have to FIRST register as an official online nationally with USA Hockey in order to gain access to the online program to register for a seminar. This change was due to a number of individuals who would never register as an official with USA Hockey and then 'no show' to the seminar that they registered for which frequently led to other registered officials being denied attendance at that seminar because the seating capacity had already been reached. This change will hopefully provide more incentive for every individual who registers as an official and for a seminar to attend that seminar and complete their registration requirements.
The open book testing process has also been modified starting with the new season. A Level 1 official will still have to answer the first 50 questions while Level 2, 3 & 4 officials will have to answer 100 questions. However, the passing score for a Level 2 official has been modified to 80 from 85. All other passing scores remain the same as last year. Those passing scores are for a Level 1 official is 35 and for Level 3 & 4 – 90 for each.
While an official is actually taking the open book exam there will be immediate feedback after each submitted question is answered. If the question was answered incorrectly, the rule reference for that missed question will be given with the appropriate rule book language. After completing all of the required questions for the level applied for, a summary will be sent of all of the missed questions with their rule references. If a passing score is obtained then the open book exam requirement will be complete. If the result is a failing score then the official will also receive a summary of the missed questions with rule references. After the 7 day waiting period has passed, the official will only have to retake those questions that were missed on their first open book exam. The retake questions will be based on the same rule reference as the originally missed questions, but will cover a different aspect of the rule. An example would be if an official missed 12 questions their retake exam would only contain 12 questions on the rule references that they originally missed. Once all of the retake questions are answered, the number of correctly answered retake questions will be added to their original test score to hopefully obtain a passing grade at the level they applied for. As a reminder, there is no third attempt to pass the open book exam.
During the Winter Meeting, the Officials Section spent a lot of time discussing the feedback that a lot of you submitted about the seminar program particularly regarding the online modules. All of the feedback was taken seriously and an action plan was discussed and adopted. Two 'work groups' were established to address the new classroom curriculum and to improve the online video modules. Both 'work groups' were composed of grass roots members who could bring a grass roots perspective to their work. Both groups have completed their work and their recommendations have been adopted. The new shortened classroom curriculum have been distributed for application to this coming seminar season and the online modules are being re-engineered with improved formatting, better sequencing, animation replacing some video clips and reduction of music and voice-overs to allow the viewer to better focus on the presented material.
We've also evaluated the number of required modules for each level and based on the user analytics that the first years' experience produced we have reduced the number of required modules in some cases. Lastly as a reminder, once an official begins their first online module they will need to complete all of their online module training within a specified time period. The online module completion time periods are for Level 1 registered officials – 60 days and for Levels 2, 3, & 4 – 45 days. If all of the online required and elective modules are not completed within the specified time frame, the official will have to restart all of the module training from the beginning. This requirement was waived during last year's registration season due to the delayed rollout of the online module program.
This completion requirement was put in place by the District RIC's to encourage all officials to complete their registration as early as possible and to add better continuity to the overall seminar education process.
As a reminder, to complete an official's registration an applicant must:
Register online with USA Hockey
Register and attend a classroom seminar (reduced attendance times depending on registration level
Complete their required and elective online training modules within the required time frame
Pass their open exam at their registration level
Pass their closed book exam (no closed book at Level 1) for their registration level
Complete their online 'Safe Sport' training at the end of every 2 year cycle
Work will continue on improving our educational programs and we will continue to actively listen to your constructive feedback. Without your involvement and support as a community we cannot continue to move forward. Acknowledging that improvements were needed was only one step in the process. Implementing those changes in a way that meets the needs of our officiating community is the next step we are taking. We can only be as good as you want us and yourself to be.
Have a great 2015-16 season and as always "skate hard and have fun" when you're on the ice.
Dave LaBuda
National Referee-in-Chief
2015-16 Registration begins August 3, 2015.
To completely register with USA Hockey as an official you need to complete five steps each year:
2. SAFE-SPORT TRAINING (if 18+ years old):
All officials who are 18 years-of-age or older must complete the United States Olympic Committee SafeSport training program. This online based program trains coaches, officials, and key volunteers in detecting and preventing detrimental behavior (hazing, abuse, etc.) off the playing surface. Once completed, the training certification is good for two years before recertification is required. This training must be completed in addition to your USA Hockey Local Affiliate Background Checks.
Once registered with USA Hockey, you will receive instructions regarding the online Officiating Education module program. Access to the Online Education System will be granted 24-hours after membership registration.
The Online Education modules are a mixture of required and elective-menu topics that teach fundamental skills of officiating using video examples, animation, and knowledge-based testing. You must complete your required hours of training to receive your card and crest.
Note: A list of all module categories will be listed at the main Courses page in the Online Education System. All officials must complete ALL six course categories (Pre-Required, Required, Positioning, Procedures, Penalty Criteria, & General) to complete training.
Go to the "Open Book Exam" page at the Officials section of USAHockey.com and follow the steps to begin your online exam. The exam is designed to allow you to go at your own pace. You may answer all questions at once, or answer a few questions every day until it is completed. Please review all answers before submitting it to the National Office. The exam will be accessible 24-hours after membership registration, and we strongly encourage you to wait until you receive your Rulebook and attend your seminar (see below) before attempting to take the test.
New for 2015-16: All officials must complete membership registration before attempting to register for a classroom seminar. Please confirm seats are available prior to attempting membership registration (the registration fee is non-refundable).
All USA Hockey Officials must attend a USA Hockey Officiating Seminar annually. To find one in your area, go to the "Seminars" page at the Officials section of USAHockey.com. You will need a USAHockey.com website profile to access the seminar schedule. Once prompted, either sign-in to USAHockey.com or to create an Online Profile:
must match your Membership Registration information exactly. If you registered with USA Hockey as Michael, you must create your online profile with the exact same name (not Mike).
After your profile is created and saved, you will automatically be directed to the USAH Online Registration System. You are now ready to sign up for a seminar.
Most seminars are scheduled between late August and early November (the schedules begin to appear online starting in July), and any questions about the seminars should be directed to your USA Hockey District Staff (following the links at the main Directory under Officials Materials). We strongly recommend you make sure you can attend a seminar before you begin the registration process (the fee is non-refundable), and do not wait long to register since some seminars do fill up very quickly.
Once you complete these five steps, and the USA Hockey National Office receives your Registration Fee, Open Book Exam answers, Seminar Attendance confirmation, Online Education credit and SafeSport credit you will receive your USA Hockey Officiating Card and Sweater Crest and you are ready to work games.
Important Note: Please be sure to record contact information for your local USA Hockey Supervisor of Officials and Local Assignor while at your seminar. You will need to contact these representatives to receive game assignments once you receive your Card and Crest.
Answers to other questions can be found at the "Officials" page at www.usahockey.com.
USA Hockey has closed the registration system for the 2014-2015 season and is no longer accepting registrations for this season. In addition, if you have not completed your registration requirements for the 2014-2015 season, you'll be limited to off-ice Official duties until next year. USA Hockey does not offer refunds for incomplete registrations.
Registrations for the 2015-2016 season begin on August 1, 2015. The required annual seminars begin in August and usually run through November. If you are a new Official, you can begin working as soon as you complete all registration requirements. If you are a returning Official, you must complete all registration requirements prior to November 30, 2015 to continue to work games. If you fail to complete your 2015-2016 registration by November 30, you will not be allowed to officiate until you do complete all of your renewal requirements and receive your 2015-2016 registration card and officiating crest.
USA Hockey grants a one-year grace period for Officials who do not renew their registrations, so if you are incomplete this year, you will be able to register next year at the same level as you were the previous year. You'll be able to see your level eligibility when you register with USA Hockey.

Your kid's party invites just got a new look.
Paperless Post has launched a new Disney collection featuring online invitations designed with every princess and talking animal, toy or robot under the sun. Yes, that means Elsa, Anna and Baymax.
The invitations feature hand-painted artwork of everyone's favorite Disney stories, from the classics to the most recent tales.
And what better way to honor the new line than by pairing up some of the invites with kids whose celeb parents starred as Disney characters themselves? (Celeb parents, you can thank us later.)
We know Kristen Bell has said her daughters have yet to see her famous film Frozen, but once they do, we bet they'll love the creative cards just as much as the movie.

To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.Proverbs 8:13 ( NIV )
When you refuse to love people because they're hard to love, you forget the fact that God always loves you, even though you're not always easy to love.
Christ must be at the center of your relationships because He provides a stable, fixed point of reference; otherwise, your relationships will be frail and fragile.

Book review: A lite, flawed history of American icon Brigham Young
"BRIGHAM YOUNG: A Concise Biography of the Mormon Moses," by Ed Breslin, Regnery History, $24.95, 208 pages (nf)
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints revere and honor Joseph Smith as the prophet of the restoration. But many inside and outside the church have great affection for and interest in the role Brigham Young played in leading the church and settling the American West. Numerous books and histories have examined Brigham Young when he was the prophet to see how he was able to take the fledgling church and establish a new society in the deserts of the western United States.
Ed Breslin's new work, "Brigham Young: A Concise Biography of the Mormon Moses," sets out to give readers a terse narrative of the fabled prophet as he grew in knowledge and influence among his people and the world.
Beginning with Young's birth in Whitingham, Vt., and continuing to his death in the Great Salt Lake Valley, Breslin attempts to cover the major parts of Brigham's life. But as with other authors, attempts to be "brief and comprehensive" often leaves the reader wondering about context for some of the information. Any biography that tries to cover the life of such a bold figure in history, using only 208 pages, is bound to leave out some necessary information.
The author of this tome does a good job presenting the early years of Brigham's life and highlighting the influences that shaped the personality that would become a strong and vibrant leader of the Latter-day Saints. Brigham is seen as a faithful husband, inventive worker, rabid learner and eager missionary for the church. All of these are given excellent coverage by Breslin, and the reader begins to find a sense of who this young pioneer and church member will become.
But the constant reminders (beginning early in the work) of the coming of plural marriage and other perceived negative historical issues does disservice to the author's work and the history of Brigham Young. Without doubt, the things mentioned did occur. But the author's redundancy in writing about the issues seems to focus on them to the point of distraction. Frankly, it might have helped Breslin's work if he had referred more to some of the scholarly works on the items in question (i.e. "Massacre at Mountain Meadows" by Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley Jr. and Glen M. Leonard and "Brigham Young: American Moses" by Leonard J. Arrington) instead of using the broad-stroke approach he chose. Like any other man, Brigham had his flaws, but the depth of those failings is probably not as deep as this author would like many to believe.
Overall, "Brigham Young: A Concise Biography of the Mormon Moses" has some good information pertaining to Brigham's life that many will find interesting, but there is a bias that seems to run through the work.

... people. Lakes are good but we found that there were very few places that you could pull over to take pictures where there was somewhere to stop you couldn't see anything because of a bloody hedge. Most of the houses seemed to be built of slate rock and they all looked good. Ended up at Glasgow at an Airbnb place where you are actually living in someone else's house using all their stuff very strange. We have a few more of these places to go so hope they are OK.
Westminster Abbey & the British Museum
... age of things. The artistry of all of these buildings is just breathtaking, especially when one considers the technology available at that time. Although crowded, we moved along at our own pace and never felt rushed or like we couldn't see certain parts. Brian thoroughly enjoyed Poet's Corner. We spent a little time looking around the Cloisters area after finishing with the Abbey and then headed out.

Krugman on Romney's '47 Percent' Comment and the GOP's 'Disdain for Workers'
Posted on Sep 21, 2012
Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, weighed in on the controversy surrounding Mitt Romney over the leaked video footage in which the GOP presidential nominee rips on the "47 percent" of Americans who he claims do not pay any income tax.
Krugman poses the following question in an Op-Ed he penned Friday for The New York Times: "Should we imagine that Mr. Romney and his party would think better of the 47 percent on learning that the great majority of them actually are or were hard workers, who very much have taken personal responsibility for their lives?"
The columnist answers his own question with a resounding "no," explaining that Romney's remark reveals a truth about the candidate but also about the entire Republican Party: The GOP is just not worker friendly. Instead, the party lauds "job creators," whom Krugman describes as the "employers" and "investors."

BeachRye Beach begins at White Cliffs and runs past the 300 m long Rye Jetty, almost due east for 4 km. A foreshore reserve backs the entire beach which, beside the popular jetty, has two boat ramps, a yacht club and a camping reserve. The beach is backed by the low reserve and fronted by shallow sand flats that are between 300 and 400 m wide. The narrowest flats are found at the jetty.

Guinevere Videos & Photos
Movie Info
Writer Audrey Wells (The Truth About Cats and Dogs) makes her directing debut in Guinevere, which won the screenwriting award at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, where it made its world premiere. The film concerns Harper Sloane, a twenty-something upper class pre-law student who falls for Connie, a bohemian photographer 30 years her senior. Shy, waifish, and camera shy, Harper feels her life is mapped out for her, coming from a long line of successful, Harvard-educated lawyers living in San Francisco. At her older sister's wedding, Harper meets Connie, who photographs her privately. When he shows her the photos, Harper (whom Connie refers to only as Guinevere) is intrigued, and a passionate romance and sexual attraction begins. Harper moves in with Connie to become his student, against her mother's wishes. Harper also learns that she isn't Connie's first Guinevere; in fact, there have been a half-dozen others, all of whom have remained friends. As the relationship takes its ups and downs, Harper comes out of her shell to become a stronger woman, more in control of her life and destiny than she would have ever dreamed possible. As Connie slowly dies from poverty and alcoholism, all of his Guineveres, including Harper, come together to remember (and drink to) his work and his life. … More

Critic Reviews for Guinevere
All Critics (52) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (30) | Rotten (5) | DVD (2)
Gives us a working relationship in progress rather than the usual Hollywood sitcom.
...a story about bad love - and how, sometimes, that is exactly what we needed at the time.
Audience Reviews for Guinevere
Couple of great actors in what is essentially a silly little movie. The romance seems forced. Yes, back to the original point. A wee bit silly.
Super Reviewer
An intriguing movie! Interesting role for Sarah Polley. Stephen Rea is great. Gina Gershon is absolutely beautiful.
Great music by Christophe Beck!
Super Reviewer
Kind of a Svengali to Young Women (Stephen Rea), he seduces,manipulates, & molds them into their future selves.Fascinating, my kind of Film, beautifully Filmed & acted

BBC AMERICA; Alas, 'East Enders'
Published: April 11, 2004
To the Editor:
A rabid Anglophile, I have been a fan of BBC America since I was dazzled to find it offered by my satellite service [''It's Brash, It's British, It's Not PBS'' by Caryn James, March 28.] In her article about the wonderful programs offered by the network, however, Ms. James did not mention a truly dastardly thing BBC America did to faithful viewers not that long ago. We are all still reeling.
The network, after getting us thoroughly hooked on ''East Enders,'' the highest-rated and longest-running soap opera in Britain, abruptly canceled it because of low viewership. ''East Enders'' fiends, after they got over their shock, anger and withdrawal pangs, have been reduced to going on the Web (www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders) to check up on what's happening with their favorite characters. It's a very pale substitute.
Austin, Tex.

Contractor: plant progressing rapidly
Jesco, Inc.'s senior vice president delivered good news about the future home of Schulz Extruded Products to the Tunica County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 15.
Jerry Maxcy gave a brief overview on construction progress at the site since Jesco was named general contractor in late August. He said things are "really moving" on the project and "everything is going as well as it possibly can."
He estimated that work was over 90 percent complete on the cold mill portion and concrete panels all along the complex. Work began on the blue skin and metal siding around a week ago.
