• GSK_phili Seeking problem with VMR9

  Filter graph consists of 2 source filters: 1. Source filter (which is used to playback AVI file) 2. Custom source filter (which implements CSourceSeeking, based on Seeking Ball example) - push model, ARGB32 subtype uncompressed images As a renderer i'm using VMR9 with 2 input pins, each one for one source filter, in windowless mode. The problem is when I seek (using IMediaSeeking interface obtained from FilterGraph), filter graph seeks only the AVI file, but not the my custom source filter. I've tried debugging and none of the seeking methods are called within my custom source filter. Thank you in advance! I have found this to be an issue as well, with two AVI's using different codecs.

• Vitalijus not able to create globally named objects

  From MS' Windows Vista Soft. Logo doc.: Applications should not depend on globally named objects. Since, globally named objects can be created by any application or service, an application dependent on creating or maintaining such an object could fail. Additionally, a user running under User Access Protection will not be able to create a globally named object. In my app. I created global mutex for a shared resource. If this is not a "good" thing to do in windows Vista, what is the best practice MS recommend Also as of the Feb. CTP release of Windows Vista, the creation of my global mutex still working fine, so it's not like what it is described in the logo doc. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• DanUp BUG: Why does the name of a StateMachineWorkflowActivity property appear as "State Machine Worflow"?

  I have a custom activity defined like the following (see below).

• scottcable Calling CreateProcessAsUser() from service

  According to some MS documents (e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/vista/services.mspx), it should be possible to use CreateProcessAsUser() API in a Vista service to create a process in user session. I am trying to achive this, but the function returns error code 1307 (ERROR_INVALID_OWNER) = "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object." Does it work for somebody Many thanks in advance. WTSQueryUserToken with 0 as the session id will always fail on Vista, because no user ever logs on in that session anymore. WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId() returning 0 may happen under some rare circumstances. Is there anything special about the moment when you call that API Th ...Show All

• Rick Shaw HandleExternalEvent fires but blocked field of instancestate table is not updated

  Hi, I have a workflow with a ListenActivity, two eventdrivenactivities. The first is a handleexternalevent activity and the second is a delay activity. The host start the runtime (with SqlWorkflowPersistenceService, SharedConnectionWorkflowCommitWorkBachService defined in the app.config file), start the workflow. The workflow becomes idle, so the instance is inserted in the instancestate table with Status=0 and Blocked=1. After workflow started, the host check if there are less than 3 workflows of the same type running. If yes, the host send the external event to the workflow to execute activities after the HandleExternalEventActivity. This works fine, but the instancestate table is not updated with blocked=0. So, if the hos ...Show All

• salah chebaro How do you host WWF 3.0 as a webservice (instead of using ASP.NET as a host)?

  Tom/Vihang/All WWF Gurus, Can someone please provide an example of how to host WWF 3.0 workflows as a webservice, instead of using IIS (ASP.NET) to call and host XOML only workflows Tom has provided examples of ASP.NET hosting and calling XOML only workflows (using tracking and persistence). I need to do the same with a centralized web service. The labs provided with WWF 3.0 are very similar to WWF 2.0 labs. I cannot find any examples that offer samples on how to host workflow runtime services via a webservice that can be consumed by one or more websites (on one or more webservers). MS suggests using a centralized webservice to host workflow runtime services, instead of using IIS. Unfortunately I did not find any code examples (I ...Show All
