Assembly Democrats and Republicans Come Together in Effort to Save State Parks
May 21, 2012 - SACRAMENTO - In a strong showing of bipartisan strength, today members of the State Assembly from both sides of the aisle stood together in support of major legislation jointly authored by Democrats and Republicans that would help rescue California state parks from financial paralysis and prevent park closures.
AB 1589, the California State Parks Stewardship Act of 2012, is jointly authored by Assemblymembers Jared Huffman, Kevin Jeffries, Wesley Chesbro, Roger Dickinson and Mike Gatto, and coauthored by Assemblymembers Kristin Olsen, Diane Harkey and 10 other Democratic and Republican members.
Authors and coauthors from both parties gathered on the Capitol grounds for a news conference, which also featured the great-great grandson of John Muir, to promote the legislation and talk about the importance of state parks to California.
"I'm proud to be joined by my colleagues from both parties in this effort to preserve our state parks," said Huffman, D-San Rafael. "The bill we're supporting gives the state additional tools it needs to help keep state parks open and provide for more sustainable management of parks in the future."
Building on last year's efforts, AB 1589 proposes both long and short-term strategies for keeping open many of the state parks slated for closure as a result of funding reductions to the Department of Parks and Recreation.
"This proposal is an important and logical next-step in creating a steady funding source for California's state parks that is less reliant on unpredictable state revenue," said Jeffries, R-Lake Elsinore. "Particularly in my own district, I'm proud that through community support, we are on the verge of keeping Palomar Mountain State Park off the closure list. With this bill, we'll hopefully pave a path to keep other parks across California open as well."
AB 1589 calls on the Department of Parks & Recreation to develop a prioritized action plan to increase revenues and collection of unpaid user fees at state parks, while maintaining the character and values of the state park system. It also creates a State Park Enterprise Fund and states legislative intent regarding the need for a multi-disciplinary independent assessment of ways to ensure long-term management and sustainable funding options for state parks.
Additionally, it includes provisions that authorize the Department of Motor Vehicles to offer special fee-based state park license plates to support the park system and allow taxpayers to redirect portions of their tax refunds to the California State Parks Protection Fund in exchange for an annual state park day-use access pass.
"The recent park closures disproportionately impact rural California, and nowhere is that more true than on the North Coast," said Chesbro, D-Arcata. "The economies of many of our small communities depend on state parks and the millions of visitors they draw every year. We must find a way to keep them open, safe and accessible. This legislation creates lasting security for the California State Parks system and saves the state money in the long-term."
AB 1589 also revises the factors the Department of Parks and Recreation considers when selecting state parks for future closure, requiring the Department to publicly disclose its methodology and rationale when evaluating them, and requires that park closures be considered only as a last resort after other options, including public/private partnerships, have been explored.
"I am thrilled to see my colleagues in the Assembly engaging in bipartisan problem-solving to preserve the state parks within my district and the rest of the state," said co-author Assemblymember Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto. "We have already been able to take one park in my district off the closure list, and we will continue fighting to prevent the closure of the historic parks of Railtown 1897 State Park in Sonora and the Mariposa Mining and Mineral Museum. Parks are vital to the economies of the local communities they serve and closure would be a blow to their already fragile state."
Legislators were joined at the press conference by Robert Hanna, a direct descendant of renowned naturalist John Muir, who emphasized the cultural and economic significance of California's state parks.
"In every great accomplishment you'll find togetherness, and I'm proud to stand in solidarity with California's elected officials to fight for our parks. I'll forever continue my family's commitment to protect these treasures and will continue to fight the good fight," said Hanna.
Since the Department of Parks and Recreation's closure list was announced in May 2011, Hanna has worked successfully to remove state parks from the list as well as traveled the state to help many cities and organizations craft proposals to keep their local parks open.
AB 1589 received unanimous support in both Assembly policy committees that reviewed the bill. It will be heard in the Appropriations Committee this week and will be taken up on the Assembly Floor after Memorial Day.

I applaud the idea of having the park users pay for the program, BUT:
The current annual "day use" fee per vehicle runs $195. Daily "day use" fees run from $3 to around $10 a day. There is nothing in AB1589 stating how many annual passes are currently being sold. Therefor, not even an estimate of new revenue generation.
The Franchise Tax Board is not in favor of taking on the additional responsibility of collecting these fees and forwarding the information to Parks and Rec.

A regional television news service by commercial operator WIN Television is being cut in the south-east and Riverland of South Australia.
Staff received letters on Monday telling them their positions were redundant and the news broadcast had ended, effective immediately.
WIN told staff the cuts were due to significant pressure to reduce costs.
Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance secretary, Angelique Ivanica, said she understood 10 editorial positions had been cut.
She said it was very sad day when regions were harshly affected.
"We're use to seeing a reduction in staff or some changes here or there or, in print for example a reduction in hours more recently in the last year, but when you actually have complete closure that leaves a massive gap, not only for the local residents in terms of local news coverage but also where are the staff going to go," she said.
The TV bulletin was produced and read out of the Channel Nine newsroom in Adelaide, which is also part of WIN.
It is understood the company will look for alternative positions for staff willing to consider relocating.
The WIN Television website said the company broadcast in 27 markets across Australia, including Adelaide and Perth.
Its head office is in Wollongong in New South Wales.
News Limited cuts News Limited has confirmed up to 30 production-related jobs could be affected as part of a restructuring of The Advertiser newspaper in Adelaide.
Affected staff were notified last Friday that jobs would be lost and some people might be redeployed.
A union said workers who left could expect their full entitlements.
The changes are expected to take effect by the middle of March.

Visited Toronto last weekend, noticed a G35 jaunting from stoplight to stoplight. Manuvered a couple of cars and got lined up. Safe road, no cross-roads. Get the ok from the wife. He had no idea what was about to happen...
Green. He launches, I half-launch (2500rpm). Get an immediate car length... pop through 3rd to about 65 or so and let off. End up 1.5 cars ahead. Surprised the crap outta him.
He pulls up to the next light with a big grin on his face. Gave him the wave, waves back. He ends up taking the on-ramp to the expressway...I went straight.
Fun run...those exhausts sound great for a 6er.

cheap 'n good: Norwegian Gem Cruise Review by dswiss
Overall Member Rating
cheap 'n good
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
We arrived at the dock around noon, and based on what some previous customers commented on, we expected a long check-in process. Not true. Check-in was smooth as can be and as good or better than what our general previous experience was (47 cruises).
Went right up to the buffet and were pleasantly surprised about the variety and quality of the food offered. Yes, it was a bit crowded up there, but it is a relatively small ship and on the first day lots of people take their luggage up there while waiting for the cabin to be ready.
Our cabin (el-cheapo inside) again was a bit on the small side, but very functional. Sufficient storage space, clean, good mattress and a Flat TV that worked flawlessly (unlike some of the modern ships we were on where the TV More crashed every once in a while).
The general décor and lighting of the public areas on ship looks a bit dated, but it is functional and clean. Yes, you get a bit of a 'nickel and dimeing' feeling, but hey, what do you expect for the price you pay?
We spent most of our day time around the pool which we thoroughly enjoyed. There always seemed to be a lot of activity around it, including an almost daily offering of poolside BBQ and lots of music. And talking about music, they had lots of it throughout the ship. And of pretty good quality too! Shows and night time entertainment was slightly above average.
The food on this ship was also slightly above average. Special mention goes to the Bistro (extra pay) restaurant. While our past experience with these venues is not too good, this one was great. We did test the onion soup which was offered in both restaurants. We suspected that it would be the same soup in both, but it wasn't. The one in the Bistro was totally different and much better. Also, the meat in general seemed to be better that what we expected. If every ship has something in the food they excel at, it would be the desserts in the Gem. They had a great variety and excellent quality.
My recommendation: Try to avoid the crowds. Inexperienced cruisers always want to be first. So, check in late and you will have no line up. Then go right to the Blue Lagoon instead of the buffet. When tendering, get to the boat late, and when disembarking, be the last one off the ship. Less

Ours was the lowest price inside cabin. It was a bit on the small side, but very functional. Sufficient storage space, clean, good mattress and a Flat TV that worked flawlessly (unlike some of the modern ships we were on where the TV crashed every once in a while).

Submitted to: American Peanut Research and Education Society Proceedings
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/11/2006
Publication Date: 7/31/2006
Citation: Timper, P., Brenneman, T.B., Hanna, W.W. 2006. Pearl millet as a rotation crop for reducing nematodes and soil-borne diseases in peanut [abstract]. In: Proceedings of the American Peanut Research and Education Society, July 11-14, 2006, Savannah, GA. 38:48. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Our objective was to determine the effects of pearl millet on root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne arenaria), stem rot, and Rhizoctonia limb rot when planted in rotation with peanut. The experiment was conducted in a field naturally infested with the nematode. Peanut was rotated with either two years of TifGrain 102 (nematode-resistant pearl millet), two years of HGM-100 (susceptible pearl millet), or two years of corn (Pioneer 3223). Two staggered sequences of each rotation were included so that a sequence would be completed in 2004 and in 2005. Both peanut cultivars (Georgia Green in 2004 and Georgia-02C in 2005) used in the study were susceptible to M. arenaria. The experimental design was a randomized, complete block with six replications per sequence. A root-gall index (0 to 10 scale) was used to determine nematode damage to peanut at the end of the season. Yield and disease ratings (TSWV, stem rot, and Rhizoctonia limb rot) were also determined for the peanut crop. Root galling caused by root-knot nematodes was greater in peanut following two years of HGM-100 (7.5) than following TifGrain 102 (4.6) and corn (4.8). The severity of TSWV, stem rot, and Rhizoctonia limb rot were unaffected by rotation. In 2004, peanut yields were extremely low because of heavy TSWV pressure and did not differ among rotations. However, in 2005, peanut yields were greater following two years of corn (2504 kg/ha) and TifGrain 102 (2320 kg/ha) than following HGM-100 (1821 kg/ha). We conclude that pearl millet hybrids which are resistant to M. arenaria will be a beneficial rotation crop for peanut; whereas, hybrids that are susceptible to the nematode may increase populations of the nematode and subsequent damage to the peanut crop.

The public financing programs identified in the report, give communities and developers the tools needed to establish a funding mechanism to address local needs to support economic development. The Business Improvement Districts (BID), District Improvement Financing (DIF), Infrastructure Investment Incentive Program (I-CUBED) and the newly created Local Infrastructure Development Program are all designed to promote new investment in targeted areas where infrastructure, community assets, and transit opportunities are operational. These targeted public financing programs aim to renew the vitality, livability, and sustainability of the area by empowering municipalities with the tools to finance local infrastructure improvements through assessments, bond issuance, and tax increment financing.
The initiative allowed her not only to speak and meet with individuals from MassDevelopment, the Executive Office of Administration and Finance, the Department of Housing and Community Development, and members from communities across the State, but it gave her the opportunity to see government in action. The guidebook, A Guidebook of Massachusetts Public Financing Programs for Infrastructure Investment, will be launched on the Executive Office of Housing and Economic website and will be accessible to all municipalities, agencies and individuals in October 2012.
Margaret says that the staff, faculty and mentors of the Rappaport Institute are a group of engaging, outgoing and thoughtful individuals who provide guidance and support to the Fellows. I am forever indebted to the Rappaport family and the Rappaport Institute for the opportunity to learn and work for a summer with members from the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development, who inspire me through their dedication and unrelenting hard work. Finally, the Rappaport Fellowship introduced me to a myriad of future leaders in the Commonwealth. Their expertise added enormous value to my fellowship. The Rappaport Fellowship is truly an exceptional program. And I am forever grateful for this life changing opportunity.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The guest house is conveniently located. The staff were very helpful and the cook is a real magician. He customized food to cater to our taste. Staff helped in organising the sightseeing. Rooms were not cleaned unless asked to, but then since the room was not all that messed, that was negligible.
I would definitely recommend Maya and also book my stay there the next time I visit.

Very funny FD. Doubtless it is the same root source of quinine?
I thought Quinoa (Reeves) was good on Speed.
Frame 4 – the Dahlia Llama's an animal now? Is that funny?
Quinoa Flakes – the (psuedo)cereal of bearded leftists everywhere…
Sheesh FD. That last frame looks like a certain well known cartoonist got stuck in a hall of mirrors. Spooky!
The world was a better place when the fashion was to eat Weetbix for breakfast.
There was way less pollution then, too.
Convince me it was merely coincidence.
I hippily (if that's a word) pop quinoa into the mince, but even red meat and tomato sauce can't disguise the foul taste.
(Hello Zut, weetbix is the world's strongest glue and should only be used as such)
I was sure it was Keane-Wah!
Hey Holden, another example to be added to our burgeoning Naff Names List: Necole.
Deary me First Dog, don't you know it's not pronounced 'kwee noo'.
In the north it's pronounced 'kee no' and it is used in a gambling game similar to Bean Goo (pronounced 'bin go') where numbered grains are drawn from a container and the numbers marked off players' tickets.
In the rural south it is pronounced 'ko nee' and it is fed to shiftless youth to turn them into bloodthirsty child soldiers.
May I have my quinoa with a cheeky lightly-wooded chardy?
Oh Zut, Nykala – rhymes with Michaela.
No, you may not,AL. It is an invention of the pagan, and the lies of its goodness are a Hodge-Podge of Superstition, Popery, the Devil and all his Works , and the all-consuming Lake of Fire will be your reward.
OOH! moderated!
I may be getting old and going senile, but the cartoon seems to be missing a footnote, or is the asterisk after "La Paz" a squashed quinoa?
Plonk: besides which it tastes like Pell.
Ugliness: it's one of the Cardinal's new footnotes – you have to believe in the sanctity of the confessional before you can see what it's referring to. One can, however, make a good guess that it's something to do with the south end of a northbound cat.
RHWOMBAT: And, like Pell, it is very bitter.
EMC: I thought quinoa was pronounced kee Noah, sorry, quin Noah?
@Plonk: You cannot invoke the pope and not expect moderation. If you'd stopped at the devil 'twould have been ok.
MIKE S: hehehehehe
Then perhaps a flinty sav-blanc with grassy high-notes served during the agm of the latte leftie arts nobbing council to accompany the humanely passed-over-to-the-other-side guinea pig stuffed with baby artichoke hearts and quinoa… Sound pc…
Oh. Well, that's all right then, Andrew.. Gosh, Mike, I wasn't expecting the Sp..
I am told it tastes like Koala; Not as dry as platypus and sweeter than tassie devilled eggs, & it is good for your bladder.
It's the same family as 'good king henry' or 'fat hen' which has long been eaten by the hard up in ole Blighty.
Chenopodium – Fat-Hen, Good-King-Henry, Goosefoot, Lamb's Quarters, Mercury, Quinoa, Wild Spinach
ooh-er…. I'll never be able to take Hummus to a barbecue again.

September Strength for Stocks
By Mark Arbeter
The major indexes rallied for the second straight week last week, with the S&P 500 very close to challenging its recovery highs from early August. Even if the S&P 500 can break to new highs for the year, there are still some key pieces of resistance that will have to be dealt with, in our opinion. With the market rallying during the historically weak period of September, and in the face of plenty of negative news, we believe stocks can continue to move higher over the near-term, in our view.
The S&P 500 has rallied about 40 points since its intraday low of 1201 on Aug. 30. The most recent closing high, and a cyclical bull market high, was 1245.04 on Aug. 30. The next key level of resistance above 1245 is at 1253. This level is important for a couple of different reasons. First, it represents a Fibonacci retracement of 61.8% of the bear market from 2000 to 2002. Secondly, trendline resistance drawn off the peaks in January, 2004, December, 2004, March, 2005, and August, 2005 comes in right at 1253. This is obviously a key trendline because it has capped all rallies over the last 20 months.
If the S&P 500 can take out the 1253 zone, then we have to look all the way back to 2001 to gauge where the next piece of chart resistance may lie. There is a layer of chart resistance from the middle of 2001 that runs between 1250 and 1315. In addition, there is a huge zone of chart resistance, in our view, from 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001, that begins at 1240 and runs clear up to the all-time highs. In our opinion, this will be a tough area for the S&P 500, and will take considerable time to work through.
The Nasdaq has a little more work to do than the S&P 500 to get back to new recovery highs, with the index sitting about 2% below the Aug. 2 closing high of 2218.15. In addition to this chart resistance, trendline resistance off the lows in April and July comes lies at 2200. This trendline was originally support for the Nasdaq until it was taken out in the middle of August. We believe more important trendline resistance comes in at 2223. This is a longer-term trendline drawn off the highs in January, 2004, December, 2004, and August, 2005, and like the S&P, has contained prices for quite some time.
Daily momentum indicators, including the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) and stochastics, have turned bullish and are not yet overbought. Short-term relative strength (RSI) readings, such as the 6-day and 14-day, are back above the 50 level, a positive sign in our opinion, and are not yet overbought.
Weekly technical indicators, however, remain another story. The weekly stochastics indicator, after getting very overbought in July, has backed off into neutral territory, which could allow the Nasdaq to run a bit. However, it wouldn't take that long for this indicator to get overbought again and put in a lower high, which would set up a negative divergence. Typically, before a correction, the weekly stochastics will put in a series of negative, nonconfirmations. The weekly MACD has been tracing out a series of lower highs since the beginning of 2004, indicating waning momentum, and suggesting trouble down the road in our opinion. However, a strong breakout above the resistance levels we mentioned could eventually invalidate some of these warnings in our view.
Two industries that are extremely important for the health of the Nasdaq, and make up a big part of its capitalization, are the biotechs and the semiconductors. Taking a look at the charts of these two industries suggests that the Nasdaq is in pretty good shape, in our view, at least in the short term. The AMEX Biotech index (BTK ) has been one of the strongest performers since the beginning of April, rising 33% since April 4. The BTK is at its highest level since June, 2001, and is only about 150 points away from its all-time high of 800 from back in September, 2000. In our view, this is a pretty amazing turnaround considering that the BTK plunged 65% during the bear market.
While the Philadelphia Semiconductor index (SOX.X ) has not retraced nearly as much as the biotech index, its chart does look positive for the near-to intermediate-term in our opinion. In July, the SOX broke out to its highest level since the middle of 2004, and in the process, took out some key chart and moving average resistance. During August, the index consolidated its gains and just recently, the index started an assault on the Aug. 2 high of 486. A break above 486 would set the SOX up, in our view, for a run to the next area of chart resistance between 530 and 550.
Crude oil prices backed off this week, falling from $67.57 per barrel to $64.00. In the process, crude oil took out trendline support off the lows in May, July, and August. We believe oil's spike to over $70 per barrel following Hurricane Katrina represented at least a short-term top for oil prices, and more likely an intermediate-term top. The next area of strong chart support lies in the $57 area. The 55-week exponential moving average, which provided good support in December, 2004, and May, 2005, lies at $53. The market is very overbought on a weekly basis, with a negative divergence on the 14-week RSI chart. We expect crude oil to correct back to the $50 to $60 range over the next couple of months.
S&P STARS: Since January 1, 1987, Standard & Poor's Equity Research Services has ranked a universe of common stocks based on a given stock's potential for future performance. Under proprietary STARS (STock Appreciation Ranking System), S&P equity analysts rank stocks according to their individual forecast of a stock's future capital appreciation potential versus the expected performance of a relevant benchmark (e.g., a regional index (S&P Asia 50 Index, S&P Europe 350 Index or S&P 500 Index), based on a 12-month time horizon. STARS was designed to meet the needs of investors looking to put their investment decisions in perspective.
S&P Earnings & Dividend Rank (also known as S&P Quality Rank): Growth and stability of earnings and dividends are deemed key elements in establishing S&P's earnings and dividend rankings for common stocks, which are designed to capsulize the nature of this record in a single symbol. It should be noted, however, that the process also takes into consideration certain adjustments and modifications deemed desirable in establishing such rankings. The final score for each stock is measured against a scoring matrix determined by analysis of the scores of a large and representative sample of stocks. The range of scores in the array of this sample has been aligned with the following ladder of rankings:
|Above Average
|In Reorganization
|Not Ranked
|Below Average
S&P Issuer Credit Rating: A Standard & Poor's Issuer Credit Rating is a current opinion of an obligor's overall financial capacity (its creditworthiness) to pay its financial obligations. This opinion focuses on the obligor's capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due. It does not apply to any specific financial obligation, as it does not take into account the nature of and provisions of the obligation, its standing in bankruptcy or liquidation, statutory preferences, or the legality and enforceability of the obligation. In addition, it does not take into account the creditworthiness of the guarantors, insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the obligation. The Issuer Credit Rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold a financial obligation issued by an obligor, as it does not comment on market price or suitability for a particular investor. Issuer Credit Ratings are based on current information furnished by obligors or obtained by Standard & Poor's from other sources it considers reliable. Standard & Poor's does not perform an audit in connection with any Issuer Credit Rating and may, on occasion, rely on unaudited financial information. Issuer Credit Ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, such information, or based on other circumstances.
S&P Core Earnings: Standard & Poor's Core Earnings is a uniform methodology for calculating operating earnings, and focuses on a company's after-tax earnings generated from its principal businesses. Included in the Standard & Poor's definition are employee stock option grant expenses, pension costs, restructuring charges from ongoing operations, write-downs of depreciable or amortizable operating assets, purchased research and development, M&A related expenses and unrealized gains/losses from hedging activities. Excluded from the definition are pension gains, impairment of goodwill charges, gains or losses from asset sales, reversal of prior-year charges and provision from litigation or insurance settlements.
S&P 12 Month Target Price: The S&P equity analyst's projection of the market price a given security will command 12 months hence, based on a combination of intrinsic, relative, and private market valuation metrics.
Standard & Poor's Equity Research Services: Standard & Poor's Equity Research Services U.S. includes Standard & Poor's Investment Advisory Services LLC; Standard & Poor's Equity Research Services Europe includes Standard & Poor's LLC- London and Standard & Poor's AB (Sweden); Standard & Poor's Equity Research Services Asia includes Standard & Poor's LLC's offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo.

Penrith hooker Kevin Kingston is resigned to losing his captaincy and the No.9 jersey at the Panthers next season.
The Panthers have had three separate captains over the last three seasons and look set for their fourth in as many years.
Previously unwanted by the club, Kingston's on-field efforts this season has convinced the Panthers to extend his contract for another year but the 30-year-old knows it's unlikely to be as captain.
"I think it's going to be the same position as last year where we come into preseason with a clean slate and everyone has to earn their spots, including the captaincy," Kingston said.
"He definitely would not confirm I would be captain next year. I could be on the bench or I might not be in the team. You just never know."
David Simmons, Tim Grant, Luke Walsh and Clint Newton are all part of the Panthers' senior leadership group, however Walsh and Newton won't be at the club next season.
Grant, a local junior, is the logical option and Kingston believes he possesses the qualities to do the job he, Petero Civoniceva and Luke Lewis have held over the last three seasons.
"I have a leadership group around me this year and Tim Grant is one of those guys," he said.
"I think he can step up and do the role. It's obviously Ivan's choice at the end of the day but you have blokes like Timmy Grant and David Simmons who was in my leadership group who I think would be really good options."
"I get more satisfaction out of seeing blokes like David Simmons, Luke Walsh, Sam McKendry, Tim Grant or Mose [Masoe] play well than I do playing good myself. When I wasn't captain you just worry that you do your own job within the team structure.
A fortnight ago Kingston started the match at lock with James Segeyaro the first choice hooker.
It's a strategy Cleary is likely to implement next season as the focus shifts towards developing Segeyaro into an 80 minute player.
Whatever the coach wants me to do, I'll do. If he wants me to peel the oranges I will. I'll have my hands full next year trying to learn new positions.
"Moving forward Segeyaro is going to be the No.1 hooker," Kingston said.
"If Ivan wants me to play front row I'll play front row and play it well. Who knows what will happen next year. I definitely don't want to stand in the way of Segeyaro's development, and I won't. But whatever the coach wants me to do, I'll do. If he wants me to peel the oranges I will. I'll have my hands full next year trying to learn new positions.
"That's next year and it's a discussion I will have with Ivan next year but at the moment we're going to keep the same game plan with me starting at hooker and Segeyaro off the bench and hopefully it works."

Putting MessageWindow to work
Making the Client
Although the Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework is a rich subset of the .NET Framework class library. Being a subset means that not all of the classes, methods and properties that are available on the full .NET Framework are available in the .NET Compact Framework. The interception of windows messages sent to managed controls is an example of this. The .NET Compact Framework does however implement a MessageWindow class that allows native and managed applications to communicate by way of Windows message constructs.
The MessageWindow is a part of the Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms namespace, therefore adding the reference to Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll assembly to your .NET Compact Framework-based project is required. The MessageWindow class provides a WndProc method that is used to process the windows messages and exposes a valid window handle that is possible to pass to the native windows functions.
In order to use the MessageWindow in your program you need to create a new class by deriving it from the MessageWindow and override the default WndProc behavior to watch for the specific window messages:
[C# using Microsoft.WindowCE.Forms; public class MyMessageWindow : MessageWindow { protected override void WndProc(ref Message msg) { switch(msg.Msg) { case WM_LBUTTONDOWN: //Do something here break; } // call the base class WndProc for default message handling base.WndProc(ref msg); } }
Putting MessageWindow to work
The best way to understand how to use the MessageWindow is by example.
We are going to create a NotifyIcon object that will allow us to place an icon on the Today screen's taskbar. It will also notify us when the user clicks on the icon so we can carry out the appropriate action.
The Window CE Platform API's include the Shell_NotifyIcon function that sends a message to the system to add, modify, or delete an icon from the taskbar status area. The Platform invoke prototype of this function would look the following way:
[DllImport("coredll.dll")] internal static extern int Shell_NotifyIcon(int dwMessage, ref NOTIFYICONDATA pnid);
Where the NOTIFYICONDATA structure declared as:
struct NOTIFYICONDATA { int cbSize; IntPtr hWnd; uint uID; uint uFlags; uint uCallbackMessage; IntPtr hIcon; }
Please note that the NOTIFYICONDATA pnid parameter is declared to be passed by reference since Shell_NotifyIcon expects a pointer to the NOTIFYICONDATA structure.
The hWnd member in the NOTIFYICONDATA structure is the handle to the window that will receive notification messages associated with an icon in the taskbar status area. This is where MessageWindow will come handy.
Let's start from creation of the new Microsoft Visual C#™ Smart Device Application with the name NotifyClient and select the Pocket PC platform and Windows Application as s project type. Add the new NotifyIcon.cs class to the project and insert the following helper function that wraps a call to the Shell_NotifyIcon finction:
using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace NotifyClient { public class NotifyIcon { private void TrayMessage(IntPtr hwnd, int dwMessage, uint uID, IntPtr hIcon) { NOTIFYICONDATA notdata = new NOTIFYICONDATA(); notdata.cbSize = 152; notdata.hIcon = hIcon; notdata.hWnd = hwnd; notdata.uCallbackMessage = WM_NOTIFY_TRAY; notdata.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_ICON; notdata.uID = uID; Shell_NotifyIcon(dwMessage, ref notdata); } } }
In the code above we create the new instance of the NOTIFYICONDATA structure, assign all required members and pass it to the Shell_NotifyIcon function.
Now, it's time to create a subclass of the MessageWindow that is going to process the messages that are being sent from the Taskbar. Our new class WindowSink will be internal to the NotifyIcon since we don't want the client that is using the NotifyIcon class to be able to access the messaging loop that MessageWindow provides:
internal class WindowSink : Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.MessageWindow { //Private members private int m_uID = 0; private NotifyIcon notifyIcon; //Constructor public WindowSink(NotifyIcon notIcon) { notifyIcon = notIcon; } public int uID { set { m_uID = value; } } protected override void WndProc(ref Message msg) { if (msg.Msg == WM_NOTIFY_TRAY) { if((int)msg.LParam == WM_LBUTTONDOWN) { if ((int)msg.WParam == m_uID) { //If somebody hooked, raise the event if (notifyIcon.Click != null) notifyIcon.Click(notifyIcon, null); } } } } }
In the WndProc override we are trying to catch our custom message WM_NOTIFY_TRAY to determine if the icon on the Taskbar was tapped. If that was the case we raise the Click event of the NotifyIcon class. The Click event needs to be declared in the NotifyIcon class as follows:
public event System.EventHandler Click;
Next we will add these public methods:
public void Add(IntPtr hIcon) { TrayMessage(windowSink.Hwnd, NIM_ADD, (uint)uID, hIcon); } public void Remove() { TrayMessage(windowSink.Hwnd, NIM_DELETE, (uint)uID, IntPtr.Zero); } public void Modify(IntPtr hIcon) { TrayMessage(windowSink.Hwnd, NIM_MODIFY, (uint)uID, hIcon); }
Important: It is very important to delete the icon from the Taskbar when the application exits. This is why we should add the clean up code in the NotifyIcon class's destructor:
//Destructor ~NotifyIcon() { Remove(); }
This is essentially all the code that is needed to provide the required functionality.
Please keep in mind that this article presents only portions of the code. The entire sample is available as download, see top of article for link.
Making the Client
Now, is the time to put the created NotifyIcon class to work. As a first step we will add the application icon to the NotifyClient project we created. In order to do that you need to bring up the Project Properties Dialog by selecting Project—Properties from Visual Studio main menu. Choose the Application Icon item and assign the icon file of your choice.
Figure 1. Project properties dialog
When our program will be compiled the icon that we have chosen will become a native resource which is possible to retrieve by using the LoadIcon Platform API call:
[DllImport("coredll.dll")] internal static extern IntPtr LoadIcon(IntPtr hInst, string IconName);
The second parameter in this function is the resource identifier of the application icon in the compiled program. By picking in the compiled executable with the resource explorer I have discovered that the application icon in .NET Compact Framework-based applications have the same resource identifier as native applications "#32512"
. So now we have all the necessary information in order to make a call to the NotifyIcon class. Let's snap two buttons onto the form and insert the following code on their click events:
private void cmdAddIcon_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { IntPtr hIcon = LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(null), "#32512"); notifyIcon.Add(hIcon); } private void cmdRemoveIcon_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { notifyIcon.Remove(); }
Let's not forget to hook up into NotifyIcon's Click event to get notified when the user taps the icon:
public Form1() { // // Required for Windows Form Designer support // InitializeComponent(); // Create instance notifyIcon = new NotifyIcon(); // Hook up into event notifyIcon.Click+=new EventHandler(notifyIcon_Click); } private void notifyIcon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("Icon Clicked!"); }
So, after running our program, tapping the "Add Icon" button and switching to the Today view on the Pocket PC we should see our icon:
Figure 2. Today Screen
Tapping on the icon should now fire the notifyIcon_Click event and display a message box:
Figure 3. The trapped event
We have just finished creating the NotifyIcon class by utilizing the Windows CE API's through P/Invoke and using the MessageWindow class as a window that receives notification messages associated with the icon on the Taskbar.
