• FernandoLeite Gadget post info to new web form

  I've created a gadget which is a simple HTML form with 2 text boxes and a button. When you click the button it should open a new IE window and send the information to the target URL as a post. The problem is when installed as a sidebar, although the IE window is opening with the correct page, the information in the 2 textboxes does not seem to be transferred. I have tested the simple HTML form by opening it in IE and all functionlity works fine, but not when I install it as a sidebar. Is there something obvious that I am missing Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Hello Chris, Have you been able to solve this issue I'm wondering on the same problem - basically identical problem. Th ...Show All

• Rozee VC-1 and PEP

  Given the promise of so many good things from MS's adoption of the VC-1 codec and the wonderful marketing campaign surrounding WMES , despite downloading all possible tools I still remain unable to do a simple operation : rejoin .wmv segments without glitches or artifacts showing in WM Player . I have heard a few people say that it is down to the player being unable to deal with the artifacts left behind during the splitting process, but I can see these problems even before the files are joined and whilst they are played individually. Can anyone help me solve this mistery Thanks to all in advance. Claudio Hello Ben, I do apologise for the lateness, and thank you for your reply. We have used a number of program ...Show All

• Laz Pixel Buffer behaviour

  Does it make a difference for how many pixels get buffered if I use backgroundRepeat="repeat" instead of content(Height|Width)="scale-to-fit" for a backgoundImage Let's say I repeat or scale a 10x10 pixel image to 100x100 pixel. I assume the pixel buffer will hold 10000 pixels for both methods. Am I wrong Cheers. Gunnar Adler wrote: Let's say I repeat or scale a 10x10 pixel image to 100x100 pixel. I assume the pixel buffer will hold 10000 pixels for both methods. Am I wrong There is no such temporary buffer that contains the scaled/repeaded image. The decoded image is stored with it's orginal size (in your case 10x10). During the update this pixel buffer is rendert into the iHD-Plane surf ...Show All

• Warren13 Threads with windows media player

  Dear Sir, We want to display the 3D animated images in windows media player when we give voice to the system.In that case relevant image should display according the voice.But the problem is, we cannot control the voice with images.That means we want ,image should display when we are speaking. We kindly request from you to give a better solution for us. Thankyou. In my opinion, I don't think that is not possible in reasonable time. You said that if you say something, the relevant image should display. But that is more like sound-recognization, and as far as I knew that that kind of technology is not so reliable until now (correct me, If I'm wrong) If you just meant that slider show with some voice energy or so ...Show All

• DoanHaNam Gadget Piracy

  Vista hasnt been out for long but we are already seeing a big issue relating to gadgets which is piracy. I have already seen probably 5 examples of people taking someone elses gadget, making a few changes and re-releasing it. I have been developing widgets/gadgets for Mac OS X and Yahoo Widget Engine for 2 years now and i dont think i can even think of 5 similar cases in that time. As far as im concerned unless a gadget specifically states that you may modify and re-release it then those people are breaking copyrights. Just because you can view the source of a gadget that does not mean it should be considered open source in a typical sense. I've released more then 25 widgets/gadgets over the past 2 years and ive never had a proble ...Show All

• PaulB Playback Video Rotation

  (no not the same as the other post) I have a question, When is MP going to have the ability to simply rotate the playback image of videos. No two home theaters are the same, nor is every video produced "upright". I make videos from the air via remote controlled aircraft. then stick my SD card into my computer and review my days videos.. but my camera lays 90 deg on its side. so my videos are sideways.. it would truly be nice (I thought MP11 would finally have it) if there were the ability to simply rotate video in MP. not edit or perminately alter the video.. let editing programs do that.. just simply affect the playback at 0 90 180 and 270 deg. Sometimes I use Nvidia's Nrotate to actually rotate my screen.. but that ...Show All

• molemenacer MFT help

  I'm trying to create an MFT for Windows Media Player 11, based on the GrayScale sample in the SDK. The problem is in the ProcessOutput method. I'm unable to "Lock" the input buffer; it works fine on the output buffer. hr = pIn->QueryInterface(IID_IMF2DBuffer, (void**)&pIn2D); if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) { ::OutputDebugString("input buffer: 2D\n"); hr = pIn2D->Lock2D(&pSrc, &lSrcStride); } else if (hr == E_NOINTERFACE) { hr = pIn->Lock(&pSrc, 0, 0); lSrcStride = lStrideIfContiguous; //assert (cb == m_cbImageSize); } The first QI returns E_NOINTERFACE and the attempt to call Lock on pIn results in E_NOTIMPL. If I check the size of the input buffer, it's zero -- is this normal ...Show All

• hchavali OT: Suggestions about gallery.live.com

  Several things stand out about this site, now that people are starting to use it. So, here's some suggestions: Implement some sort of language filtering. Although I have nothing against the use of non-English and think it's actually commendable than MS allowing it, I would rather filter out Gadgets that are of no use to me. Alternatively allow multiple languages in the Gadget description, or some form of language translation. Improve Gadget images. It would be great if you could attach screenshots, as well as the 100x100 icon. Do something about Gadget spam. "Vamos Strip Player" springs to mind, I'd hate to think how many times it's posted. Remove the 1000 character limit on the description field, and allow it to be rich text ...Show All

• Bhaskar Sarma Xpath expressions in Include in Markup Files

  Is there any restriction whatsoever on the kind of X-Path expressions that can be used in <include> element. e.g. can a stylesheet be included on a condition whose truth value is determined by an xpath expression refering the DOM nodes. Includes are processed before the DOM is constructed, so you can't refer to anything in the DOM. Basically only XPath variables (either system variables or script variables) can be used. I don't have the spec with me (in Portland) but it should be in Chapter 7. i think i got it.......... another question the spec says ...7.5.3.1.7 .. the infset for each include is the infoset of document prior to include processing.Does it mean the partial DOm tree (if any) built upto the include ...Show All

• arkiboys Menus not showing up on WinDVD HD (Toshiba Qosmio)

  Hi all, this maybe isn't the right place to discuss compatibility with players but maybe somebody tried to get things to work on a software player before.

• tattoo About the access data across the domain---Using Web.Network.CreateRequest API???

  Hi All,   In my gadget developing process, I have to consume web service from a different domain for gadget.start.com or live.com.   so I met the issue, when my gadget published in third-party, and user want to use it, he has to change IE security level and set 'access data across domain' enable!   Through the study, I found  this restriction just come out when I use   Web.Network.Type.XMLPost to invoke webservice and get response. For other request sending type(XML,XMLGet), it needn't change IE settings. So I hope Some guys can give me some advice on solution or more explaination, I think  a gadget always pop up access denied or ask user to dro ...Show All
