• JawKnee Who knows the .xts and .xss suffixes ?

  Who knows the .xts and .xss suffixes How to use them Thanks in advance. Thanks Closer. When I tested a simple disc , it was throw "Reference to nonexistent style ID 'DefaultButton' " , but the codes are the same as the sample your mentioned. Do you know what the error is [FYI] You can download sample with .xts and .xss suffixes on http://blogs.msdn.com/ptorr/archive/2006/09/20/763839.aspx page. The MS Validator doesn't handle includes well. So, if you know that your style id is in fact declared in your .xss file - go ahead and ignore that error. Hey Microsoft - how about a fix on that one ETA ...Show All

  What's the best way to check if a file exists in a gadget subfolder And what's the best way to get a list of all files within a subfolder Andy damn you MSDN!

• limssd Blu-ray

  Does it bring bad luck to ask this on this forum :) Anyone knows of documentation or sites about BD-J mode, HDMV is a bit limited. I just can say "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" runs very good on the ps3 but the integrated interactive BD-J game during the movie is a little bit lame because much better features are possible with BD-J Best source is the BD spec. There's a whole book just on the basics of BD-J. I haven't found any internet sites yet, but I think that's mainly because Sony hasn't even gotten a good hold on BD-J yet. Their own software, Blu-print, is only partially BD-J compliant as of right now. Panason ...Show All

• Shahzad Yousuf query for the controller APIs..

  Are different controllers supported by simulator Aim to check different controllers on the simulator. Actually, I tried on the simulator, using controller APIs. It is showing that 3 controllers are attached to the simulator (remote controller, keyboard and mouse). I wrote a script in which I created two events and initialised them using initControllerKeyEvent Api. First Event was initialised with parameter ' id ' having value of keyboard id and the key value was ' 0x30 ' for VK_1' key code, and the second Event was initialised with parameter ' id ' having value of mouse id and the key value was ' 0x01 ' for VK_MOUSE_1' key code. Expected output : On dispatching these events, two different images should be generated according to the event ...Show All

• Fippy Question about how a element's opacity affecting its children.

  Dear All, I have a question about how a element's opacity affecting its children. I think the parent element's opacity shall cascade to its childen elements, for example: " <div id="parent" style:position="absolute" style:x="10px" style:y="10px" style:width="100px" style:height="100px" style:opacity="0.2"> <button id="children" style:position="absolute" style:x="5px" style:y="5px" style:width="50px" style:height="50px" style:opacity="0.8" /> </div> " I think button "children" shall be drawned as a half-transparent element with opacity ...Show All

• Francis Shum Sidebar Gadget Idea

  I really have no idea if this can actually be done but it would be a cool protection device. If there could be a port scanner to scan to see what ports are being used. this way if there is anything using those ports you would be able to see those. I haven't had the time to look into .NET 3, but in .NET 2 you could use the TcpConnectionInformation Class in System.Net.NetworkInformation. This example is from the MSDN Library Class Reference. It prints the TCP Connections statistics to a Console Window, kind of like the netstat command. Use t.LocalEndPoint . Port and t.RemoteEndPoint . Port to print the port numbers as well.

Enable JIT debugging for Script (in VS Tools/Debugger) 2. Start ihdsim with "-debug -jit" options 3. When the first sc ...Show All

• Ltl Hawk Any method for MF PVP application fail gracefully if video driver is not PVP signed?

  I am working on an application that runs protected playback with Media Foundation. I've encountered a problem that with some graphics cards, an error dialog box pops up from another process saying " Bad Image: X is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error". After repeatedly pressing OK for the same dialog poping up many times, I can see the application hits a debug assertion saying that  ESP is not properly restored. I've read about the following previous thread in this forum and know that this symptom happens because video driver is unsigned and mfpmp.exe failed.
