JustinA1 new XMLHttpRequest() - I'm at a loss
I have programmed a gadget and it works great. I uploaded it to the Live Gallery and then I tested it and it doesn't work anymore. var xml_request = new XMLHttpRequest(); xml_request.open("GET", url, true); <----- breaks here! the url variable is valid. It just stopped working all of a sudden with no code change. All the other gadgets in my sidebar can access the internet just fine. I have no idea why it just stopped working. If I replace it with: location.href = url; it opens the url in IE just fine. It's possible that the .gadget file has been blocked due to being from the interwebs. Find the file, right-click and go to Properties, and look at the bott ...Show All
sandeepam backgroundImage parameters
The CSS used in iHD seems to be a bit different than CSS2.0. First question: Does the HD specification cover style syntax and definitions Second question (and example of my confusion): One of the samples posted to these forums includes a backgroundImage assignment with multiple items. I'm guessing this is to define different images per state. style:backgroundImage="url('BUTTON_T1_0.PNG') url('BUTTON_T1_1.PNG')" What is the signature for this style declaration Thanks. I changed my question (edited) shortly after posting because I figured it out. Didn't see your reply otherwise I would have just posted a new question. Anyways, see above. It doesn't seem to work in iHDSim even though it validates and the logic appear ...Show All
Wendy_B Possiable to have text with no background or transparent background
I'd like to have text just floating with no background at all how would I do that. Here's the white dot's <body style="width:130px; height:67px; margin;0px;"> <g:background id="bodyBackground" src="blank.png"/> <script language="JavaScript"> text = "Some text"; bodyText = bodyBackground.addTextObject(text, "Segoe UI", 10, "White", 1, 1); </script> </body> dots at 8pt you don't see them but at 10+ they just get worse. I put in this code: <body style="width:100%; height:100%"> <g:background id="bodyBackground" src="background-style.png" /> <script language="JavaScript"> text = "Some text"; bodyText = bodyBackground.addTextObject(text, "Seg ...Show All
KRSE How to record from 'Wave' or 'Stereo Mix' in Vista?
Hi all, On Windows XP or earlier, I could capture the audio stream to the speacker not from the external device (maybe endpoint device in Vista) like the microphone. In other words, D irectSoundCapture was able to capture from the selected recording device/source line in the Windows record control utility or mixerXXX APIs. And if "Wave Out Mix" or "Stereo Mix" or something similar was selected as recording source line, D irectSoundCapture was able to record the audio stream to the speacker. However, I could not find the way to do that in Windows Vista. Windows record control utility in Vista is just showing only external devices (endpoint devices) like mic., line-in or S/PDIF in but I could not find "Wav ...Show All

IgorP XMLParser Object
hi Can we display an xmu file parsed using the parse() method of XMLParser Object. Thanks Not exactly sure what you are asking: You can parse markup documents with the XML parser (but you don't need to -- the document global property already has this) You can navigate to any arbitrary XMU file with Application.link() or the <link> tag, provided that the file is in filecache You cannot navigate to an "in memory" DOM that you have created by parsing a string / file and modifying, unless you first save it out to filecache and then link to it. Basically this XMLParserObject foo; doc = foo.parse("some uri"); doc.load() or something like that I think i got the answer...it is No. The o ...Show All
AsifHameed1 Is it possible to display a web page in a gadget?
Hi All, Would you know if it is possible to show a web page in a gadget. We used to use active desktop to show our help desk calls which are in a sharepoint list - just a link to the list.

Thanks a million for both the replies - i will give that a try. Just create a large Gadget and load the sharepoint page in an IFrame. eg. gadget.html: <html> <body style="margin:0px; width:500px; height:500px;"> <iframe src="http://myserverlink.html" sty ...Show All

ceilidhboy Maximum size of settings window?
Is there a limit to how large the settings dialog can be displayed as Anything in the CSS that's bigger than about 400 by 300 currently doesn't get displayed, it just gets cropped to that. Well the content of the dialog is displayed still but it goes off the limits of the dialog... Is this the case, or am I missing a meta-setting which is over-riding my style sheet or setting the wrong element (I'm setting the size of <body>) Chris And is there also a size restriction on the docked gadget size (read height) in the sidebar Does anyone know where I could find a list of the limits please, rather than just finding them via trial and error Chris I've done so ...Show All
DeamonX radio form buttons?
simplest way to do this settings box does this: 2 radio buttons so that you either select optionA or optionB on click OK settings are saved Gadget does this: upon closing of settings dialog box gadget updates to the settings you entered via funtions such as function optionCheck() { IF OptionA == "true" do this { some more stuff } Else { do this instead } } basically what I would like to do is have the settings dialog box open with 2 radio button options which are then saved so that I can then have the gadget can a function that checks the settings and changes itself accordingly. This should be really simple but for some reason I just can't get it, You'll need a selec ...Show All

GBNeil How does MFT deliver Video Extended info to EVR?
Currently we are developping video decoder MFTs. How can MFT notify video extended info ( color conversion matrix, etc.) to EVR What attributes of sample or mediatype will be used by video processing in EVR mixer Does default mixer use video transfer matrix for video processing It seems there are two ways for getting video extended information from media type. 1. IMFVideoMediaType::GetVideoFormat can get the video format that include color matrix info.( but can't set information ) 2. IMFAttribute::GetUINT32( MF_MT_YUV_MATRIX, &Values) can get MFVideoTransferMatrix enumeration. According SDK's documents this attribute is for IMFMediaType. However, there is no way to attach extend info to IMFSample ( but ...Show All
