Is this job still executing?

It is easy to use Enterprise Manager to check whether a job is still executing or not.

But I needed to get this information programmatically.

This is a small stored procedure that tells whether a job is running or not.

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.IsJobRunning
(
  @job_name varchar(255),
  @is_job_running int OUTPUT
)
AS
  BEGIN
    DECLARE @job_id uniqueidentifier 
    
    CREATE TABLE #xp_results 
    (
      job_id uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
      last_run_date int NOT NULL,
      last_run_time int NOT NULL,
      next_run_date int NOT NULL,
      next_run_time int NOT NULL,
      next_run_schedule_id int NOT NULL,
      requested_to_run int NOT NULL, -- BOOL
      request_source int NOT NULL,
      request_source_id sysname COLLATE database_default NULL,
      running int NOT NULL, -- BOOL
      current_step int NOT NULL,
      current_retry_attempt int NOT NULL,
      job_state int NOT NULL
    )
    
    SELECT @job_id = sj.job_id 
    FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs sj
    WHERE sj.name = @job_name
    
    INSERT INTO #xp_results
    EXEC master.dbo.xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs 1, ''

    SELECT @is_job_running = running
    FROM #xp_results
    WHERE job_id = @job_id
  END

After a few days of struggling I think this is the best way to do it.

How to insert multiline text when Form.AcceptButton is set?

I've just re-discovered it - I don't like re-discovering things. I have spent an hour trying to solve this problem and once I've figured out how to do it, I've realized that I had had exactly the same problem about a month ago and I had already worked it out back then.

Anyway, let's describe the problem first:
1. There is a form - myForm.
2. There is a TextBox (or RichTextBox) control on myForm - myText. There is also a Button - myButton - on the same form.
3. The AcceptButton property of myForm is set to myButton.
4. The myText.Multiline is set to true. However, pressing Enter key does not insert a newline, but activates myButton instead.

The solution is simple:
1. In myText.GotFocus (or myText.Enter) event set myForm.AcceptButton to Nothing (VB) or null (C#).
2. In myText.LostFocus (or myText.Leave) event set myForm.AcceptButton back to myButton.
