Math Calculator
-
Seems there is one here
But why not use a Window one? -
I saw that one but it didn't do what I wanted. The windows one works just fine but I wanted a sticky one that would stay on top.
I will probably have to write one in VB.NET.

I put together a "sticky calculator" that sits in the lower right of the display, it can be Closed or Lowered. Simple calculations only, Scientific functions to be implemented later.
Here is a screen shot and the download link if anyone is interested.

Just use one of the many applications that will add an Always On Top menu item to the titlebar. Some even add another button to the titlebar.

Even my nVidia driver can add such buttons and such. I like to keep it simple however. I always forget which button is for what.

The Windows Calculator does not have that option, so what I wrote will do just fine.

But that's the thing - there are a number off application that adds that option to any window you want.

I use ESBcalc - http://www.esbconsult.com/esbcalc/
They also have a useful UnitConverter...
There are free and paid versions...
You can easily open it using UI.openURL(pathToEEBcalc) and copy/paste results ?

Alternative if your using Win7 or Vista you can add a gadget Calculator to your desktop.

? The tool Jim linked does add Top Most functionality to any window.
-
Yes and it seems to work quite nicely. My keyboard has a key specifically assigned to open Calc.exe.
-
I use Calc98 from this web page http://www.calculator.org/download.aspx. It has an option to always be on top.
I also modified a plugin to run calc98 from the tool menu.

i realise that i was just reiterating that it should be standard windows functionality. i used to use fileBOX extender
added faveorites and recents too, but its no longer supported.
BTW isn't there at least a switch that could be added to the program shortcut to tell it to stay on top?
