Parker Lewis identifying button from script
Hello, I'm trying to find a way to identify a button which is pressed without using id, so far with no luck. -- markup -- <button style:x="350px" style:y="100px" style:width="200px" style:height="100px" style:position="absolute" /> <button style:x="350px" style:y="300px" style:width="200px" style:height="100px" style:position="absolute" /> <button style:x="350px" style:y="500px" style:width="200px" style:height="100px" style:position="absolute" /> <button style:x="350px" style:y="700px" style:width="200px" style:height="100px" style:position="absolute" /> <button style:x="350px" style:y="900px" style:width="200px" style:height="100px" style:position="absolute" /> -- script -- addEventListener("d ...Show All
ADub Reverse playing stream
I am trying to reverse the stream while it is playing by using SetRate. I am getting the slowest, fastest and nearest supported rate for MF_RATE_REVERSE without any errors. It can also SetRate forward without problems. Now, for reverse, if I dont stop the stream I rightfully get MF_E_UNSUPPORTED_RATE_TRANSITION. So I get the playing position, stop the stream, SetRate and start the stream again. I dont see any errors, except that the session ends immidiately. Is there anything special I am missing Here is the code I am using (SetPlaybackRate was taken from the docs): HRESULT hr = S_OK; IMFRateControl *pRateControl = NULL; hr = MFGetService(m_pSession, MF_RATE_CONTROL_SERVICE, IID_IMFRateControl, (void**) &pRateControl); if (!SUCC ...Show All
hommer XmlHttpRequest and file access
Hello guys. i've just started developing gadgets, so these might be basic questions. ok, i've just developed a gadget which streams radio and returns info about the current track and author. i'm using xmlhttprequest and everything seems to work ok but sometimes i start getting the traditional access denied error which occurs in cross domain calls. i'm giving full permissions on the xml gadget fil so i'd be interesting in getting more info about this kind of errors and how to solve them in gadgets. i'm trying to write a file with some info that should be shared by all gadgets. i'm using thsi code: var pathToFile = System.Gadget.path + "\\lista.txt"; function saveFavorites( lst ){ var fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.File ...Show All
shido Using IMFMixerBitmap
I have a DirectShow application that uses the VMR's IVMRMixerBitmap interface to blend a bitmap with a video. Before using it I understand you have to call IVMRFilterConfig's SetNumberOfStreams method to put the VMR into the correct state, and so far it works fine :) So now I'm trying to use Media Foundation and I've found corresponding interfaces such as IEVRFilterConfig and IMFMixerBitmap. Is the operation of these fairly similar ie. do I need to call IEVRFilterConfig's SetNumberOfStreams() before I can use IMFMixerBitmap I've been trying to do this and using IMFGetService's GetService() to try and get the IMFMixerBitmap interface afterwards but without much success - I keep getting a return code of 0xc00d36ba..

jdarias Dynamic Markup
Is it planned to support dynamic markup Like dynamic html. It would be very usable to be able to manage XMU elements from inside the script: function OnPlay() { elements["mainButton"].style.visible = false; } Yes, you can use DOM APIs to modify the document dynamically. You can refer to HD DVD Spec Annex Z for more info. The "Pretty Buttons" blog sample uses it to some extent; I don't have a very interesting example up right now that modifies lots of different things though... http://blogs.msdn.com/ptorr/archive/2006/07/06/658680.aspx This is great!

MSDNuser102 Sliding menu animation error
The sliding menu I did in Markup, with Peter's help, is working pretty well. It slides open on start, and closes automatically if a track is selected. However one thing I cannot fix is that after the first time you open the menu while a video is playing, it will no longer animate, it just appears. For example: 1) Start project, after 1s menu slides open. 2) Select track, menu automatically slides shut. 3) Open menu using menu button (CTRL+M) and menu slides open. 4) Select another track and menu slides shut. 5) Open menu using menu button (CTRL+M) and menu DOES NOT slide open, but rather just appears. This will happen everytime you open the menu after step #4 in this example. Any advice on how to debug <timing clock="page" ...Show All

Monish Nagisetty Gadget creep
Just an observation, but... Has anyone else noticed that Gadgets move of their own accord when Sidebar loads For instance, if Sidebar is closed by DEP, Gadgets randomly creep to the left when it restarts. Then there's the order on the Sidebar itself. If you shutdown/restart or exit and reload Sidebar, the attached Gadget order changes occasionally. nope but i have had them overlap each other once. think it was my code Just a thought, would the number of pixels 'drifted' bear any relation to the screen resolution Just wondering whether the sidebar scales dynamically to the screen and could therefore have varying drift between setups. I'm not sure this is the s ...Show All
Andr&#38;&#35;233&#59; Dias Layout for gadget
If I would like to create a layout with a navigation bar on the top for access to 3 different areas/panel of the gadget .... how Can I do this I hope you can help me! Something like the tabs on my Soapbox gadget I did that by creating a binding for a "tabstrip" that exposes an event that tells the container when a tab has changed. Then I create three "panels" (in my case, another binding) that I show or hide depending on what happened in the tab change event handler. Displaying the tabs is simple enough, as they're just list items (<li>) that have been styled via CSS to be "inline" rather than "block". There are some good tutorials on how to make tabs out of a list ( for example ) ...Show All
mugile Can someone test my gadget please?
I posted my gadget a couple weeks ago and it has gotten a good number of downloads (~1500 atm) but mostly negative response. I suspect the problem is that I developed and tested this gadget on Vista RTM, but the Gallery only lets you choose "RC1" as the newest compatibility level (stupid ). I have not had any problems loading into the Sidebar on any RTM machine. What would really help me is to get a few people try to load it up and make sure it is working properly under a variety of environments (RC1, RC2, Beta, RTM, whatever), so I can figure out what the issue is that people are having. You won't be able to test the full functionality of the gadget because it requires you to have a particular type of webcam to stream video. ...Show All
PhatBox RTM version of Windows Media Player 11 is incompatible with HDiSim
Just a quick note that the final release version of WMP 11 causes video playback to stop working in the HDiSim Beta. If you have already downloaded the beta of WMP 11, avoid upgrading to the RTM version if you also want to run HDiSim. Obviously you should upgrade to the RTM version on all your mission-critical machines that don't have HDiSim on them, but nobody is running beta software on their production machines, are they :-) I have two machines (one laptop, one desktop) which are both working with WMP 11 RTM. My third laptop does not work with any version of WMP. My research indicates that it is the lack of hardware T&L support on my third laptop. So, you may want to give the RTM a shot if you have hardware T&L. Otherw ...Show All
