• Criminet Using D3D Mobile, how to load a PNG file from disk to a surface?

  I cannot use D3DXCreateTextureFromFile() becasue the mobile API does not support it Thank you! i know but that doesnt mean that everything supported on WinMobile is supported on WinCE. It should be the opposite, in fact. This is from the D3DMX library - is this library supported on WinCE devices I see no evidence that it is. In fact the MSDN doc lists it as supported for WinMobile (not WinCE). Thanks. moved to Smart Device forum. Hi Try D3DMXCreateTextureFromFileEx instead. Hope this helps Michael Yes it is.

• WXS123 Constant server busy error when trying to load vecollection from local.live via scripting

  Greetings, Apologies up front if I missed something obvious in the VE3 documentation, but I'm trying to load a vecollection from local.live via the collection's provided permalink URL in my clientside script, but I always get the server busy error in my map control as a response. Is the server in fact generally maxed out, or am I using the wrong URL for the job etc.. The exact same URL does work to open the local.live site and successfully show the collection in that map control when I pop open a window with it from the same script function, so I don't think it's a typo or such. And, if the remote load is not do-able, is it possible to create a vecollection file on my server that I can then load locally (I know about and am levera ...Show All

• Andy Ho Getting more than 250 results

  On Monday it was observed that MSN Search would give access to 1000 search results like Google and Yahoo for the first time: http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php p=90787 I've tried accessing more than 250 results with the MSN API, but so far the most I've been able to get is 290 results. Is MSN going to up the number of returned results for the API like they have for the public web interface Thanks, Frank Hi Frank I don't mean to be cheeky or anything, but why would you want 1000 results Or even, why would you need more than 250 Although, I see the point of it being nicer to have fewer limitations. Just curious. Best, Mark. The announcement about more than 250 results wa ...Show All

• Fred Herring CeFindFirstFile using VB6

  Ok, my first Smart Device project and I've come to a bit of a standstill, trying to find out what files are on the device. Tried the CeFindAllFiles, but from what I have read I don't think it will function in VB6. So, on to CeFindFirstFile and and CeFindNextFile. It all looks so easy. I'm confused as to how you set up the returning information. I keep seeing references to 'CE_FIND_DATA', but what is that all about If anyone has an example or ideas it would be appreciated. Bert Well, at the moment I can't take it any further. CeFindFirstFile does work but I can make no sense of the filename, which is what I need, and subsequent calls to CeFindNextFile always fail. For the next few days, I have to concentr ...Show All

• Maheshsingh21 Is it possible to suppressing events temporarily?

  Hi, How can i suppress events for a short time on a form. My prob is that i've a listivew on a form, say A. The item_Activate event on the listview creates a new form, say B and shows it. But as on PPC it takes few seconds to display a new form. The mean while if i tap on another listview item on A, it creates another child form. Now what i need is, i should disable any events( or the same item_Activate event) on A from firing, until the item_Activate event handler is executed. This is just one case in the app. There are many such cases where i need this kind of a check. How do i do this Plz help! Thanks, ...Show All
