This was however a dry period as far as addition of new content is concerned as I was too busy to push ahead the WinAPI function series which I was seriously learning. The Device Context that saw the last posting is too vast to learn and too important to skip it and move ahead without completing it. Reading so much on WinAPI functions has helped me understand a bit of C++, which I always had avoided (Don't ask reason as I myself don't know why I hate C++ and Java, coding style is no concern as I love PHP over ASP).

Here is a brief on what is most read on this blog.

Tweaking Registry to modify Internet Explorer's behaviour has been the favourite reason for readers to visit my blog. About 10% of total page views went to a single post Tweaking Registry for Internet Explorer

Second most read post is Working with menus in Visual Basic. This post carried basics of Using menus in Visual Basic and thereafter dynamic modifications in Menu during runtime. However Visual Basic Exposes very little of what's possible with menu functions. I am seriously working on a piece of code where the complete menu functionality would be handled using WinAPI functions and not a bit of VB Menu Editor.

Next most read post is WinAPI : Working with Windows Handles. Though there is more to Windows API functions then the Window Handles, it's no surprise that most programmers who never worked on WinAPI functions, require to use them the first time when they need to get a handle to a window and work on it... I am no exception as my first post on WinAPI Adding File Names to a ListBox - 2, which initiated my real exposure to Windows API, used WinAPI function for the same. Getting Window Handles preceded the post in discussion and was not much below in number of views.

Next post of interest was System Shutdown Windows API Functions, follwed by Accessing Clipboard from VB. Both posts fetures related Windows API functions.

VB Forms in Hindi Unicode Fonts is yet another post which readers visited looking for possibilities for using Unicode fonts in VB forms. Hindi being the word on title & Indian languages being one of the category associated with it, most visits were triggered by Google/technorati/other searches for these keywords.

And lastly, and most surprisingly Asc() and Chr() in JavaScript is continuesly leaving other posts behind from the day it was posted.
