• koldFUSiON Before releasing SDK

  Before Windows releases the SDK for Windows Vista don't you think they should fix some of the bugs first I can easily name 2 off the bat. #1 - If a % sign is in a folder or file name and you right click on it, explorer crashes. #2 - If you move your mouse over a link really fast back and forth some giant gradey arrow follows it. > It happens on any website, including yours.

• WXS123 64-bit and 32-bit handles

  Hi, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384203.aspx : "Handles to named objects such as mutexes, semaphores, and file handles can all be shared." Does this mean that I can use DuplicateHandle in a 64-bit process and pass the duplicated handle truncated to 32-bits to the appropriate 32-bit process and call DuplicateHandle in a 32-bit process and pass the duplicated handle zero-extended to 64-bits to the appropriate 64-bit process Thanks for your help. Creation of a handle to a named object is usually performed in the create function.  For example: "HANDLE mutexHandle = CreateMutex(NULL, FALSE, "MyCorp:MyApp:MyMutex");" I would recommend that approach compared to passing the value of a handle between applicatio ...Show All

• mtm81 Debug stepping options?

  In Visual Studio 2005 you have 2 options for debug/stepping options: instance and branch. Can someone explain what they are for If you set stepping option to "Instance" and debug a workflow using F10 or F11, debugger will follow the runtime, in the sense it will break at the activities that are currently executing. Stepping option "Branch" makes sense if you are debugging composite activities whose children can execute concurrently. For example activities like Parallel which has multiple branches or CAG which has multiple children. This option is useful if you want to debug only a particular branch of parallel or a child of CAG without worrying about what is happening in other branches. To see th ...Show All

  I am writing a webservice workflow using Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to add in a Hold State in my workflow so that users can temporarily hold an approval process or something. I can use recursive composition to create an event so that the Hold State can be reached from any other state.

  When we add a 32-bit image with AlphaBlending (which uses the 4th reserved byte), the created bitmap information in the image list appears to be corrupted since when we call then ImageList_Draw or ImageList_GetImageInfo the resulting image slightly differs from the original one. Here's a sample code we are using: ImageLIstHandle = ImageList_Create(16, 16, ILC_COLOR32 | ILC_MASK, 1, 1); ImageList_Add(ImageLIstHandle, BitmapHandle, 0); // BitmapHandle - 32-bit bitmap has non-empty reserved bytes ImageList_Draw(ImageLIstHandle, 0, DCHandle, 0, 0, ILD_NORMAL); This code works just fine with the previous version of ComCtl32 (v5) ...Show All
