hawash WPD Api Sample failing to return Device Count
Hi Experts, I am having an issue with the WPD Api sample provided with Windows Vista SDK and I am running the application in Windows XP. I am trying to identify a WIA device via the IPortableDeviceManager interface. I tried with IWIADeviceManager interface earlier but switched to the former since thumbnail full path method calls were not returning proper results. I could compile the WPD Api Sample workspace and could successfully register the Interface, IPortableDeviceManager interface, but the same returns 0 devices when i call: hr = pPortableDeviceManager->GetDevices(NULL, &cPnPDeviceIDs); I have connected the camera in PTP mode and not in USB mode. Any ideas or hints on why this is happening Or is there a ...Show All
Denvas conime.exe procedure issue in console application
Hi all, I am using a non-western language Vista, when I start my console application, the extra procedure conime.exe (as I know, it's shared to use for all console application) is launched automatically. But when my console application exits, the procedure conime.exe still has some relationship with my console application, I can't remove my console application folder (my console application is installed, I launch it, exit it, and remove all files and folder of my console application). But after terminating the conime.exe procedure, I can remove my console application folder. On Win2l/XP, I can remove the folder after exit my console application, without terminating the conime.exe procedure. Since conime.exe is used for all console ...Show All
sapaplanus Vista control panel (link and icon)
Hi, All, I've developed a 3rd party control panel applet for Vista and basically it works fine. But I have two issues about the control panel item: 1. How can I add a custom link under the main description of my control panel item in non-classic view (e.g. the "Adjust system volume" link of "Sound" control) 2. How to provide different size icon in classic view I have a all-size (from 16x16 to 256x256) icon in the resource and use LoadIcon function to return the icon handle as the hIcon member of LPNEWCPLINFO structure. However, it seems like the explorer always use 48x48 one and make the icon looks pretty ugly in "Extra large Icons" view. Any comment will be very appreciated. Thanks, Kevin ...Show All
Rob Wheeler Adding my new custom transform filter seems to cause a graph problem
Hello, I've written a very simple transform filter to solve what I believe is a problem with Logitech's latest (v10.x) webcam drivers. I think my filter works fine, but seems to introduce an instability when I include it in my capture graph. Specifically: as detailed in another one of my posts , the Pause/Resume function would no longer work in my capture graph with the new Logitech drivers. Now, with my custom filter added to the graph, Pause and Resume work fine until I take a snapshot from the video capture driver's "still" pin. After a snap, resuming from a pause operation hangs the graph. That is, control never returns from this statement in my code: _mediaControl->Run(); The app just hangs. Removing my fil ...Show All
ZopoStyle .NET 2 TextBox & DWM
Hi. First of all, I have extended glass to my client area and I want to put a search textbox on it. The biggest problem is, that the text inputed is rendered in glass regardless the foreground color I set to the textbox...how to avoid this The second question is how can I make it glass semi-transparent like these in Explorer and IE windows I believe this can be done by the DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow API but I haven't managed it to work in C#... Thanks for any help. DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow() puts glass over the whole window which can be slow, whereas DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea() only adds glass around pieces of the client area (but can also be used to make a sheet of glass).

Hoopla Support for Streaming Servers ?
I am currently trying to find out if support for any streaming architecture has been implemented in the FEB2007 release; ideally the Windows Media Server WMS architecture. I would like to be able to access streaming content under any of streaming protocols ideally rtsp:// or mms://. Our architecture is setup on WMS and I am typically working with 45-90 minute recordings. Due to the limited support for WMP on Mac OS X as well as compatibility issues with the latest Intel based macs, I am very eager to be able to replace the embeded WMP with a WPF/E based player, however I need the ability to seek to random points in a file. Also in looking at the docs, WPF/E is said to support WM9, I was wondering if it will be suporting all WM9 codecs ( ...Show All
Ton vd Pol In July CTP, using StateMachineWorkflowInstance to obtain CurrentState freezes workflows in that State
Dear all, I have a working StateMachineWorkflow hosted under asp.net 2.0. I have written a simple routine (shown below) to interrogate the current state of a workflowinstance: public string WfCurrentStateDescription(string WorkflowInstanceId) { // Get the workflowRuntime which was started in global.asax WorkflowRuntime wfRuntime = (WorkflowRuntime)Application[WorkflowRuntimeKey]; StateMachineWorkflowInstance wfInst = new StateMachineWorkflowInstance(wfRuntime, new Guid(WorkflowInstanceId)); return wfInst.CurrentState.Description; } I find that, once I have called this on a workflowinstance, that instance gets "stuck" in the current state and never transitions to the next state, even though code appears to get c ...Show All
ewren Vista 5308 refuses to activate. Any way to retrieve files?
We upgraded a windows XP machine (non-domain) to Vista 5308 recently. Upon trying to activate we kept getting an activation error 0x8007000 "Data is invalid". It only once came up with an option to activate by phone. However when the form came up, the activation codes that normally appear for you to read to the automated system were blank. We had forgotten about the issue for a few weeks as other development issues had taken precedence. Upon revisiting the machine yesterday, it had said that we had to activate, the period was over. We attempted to activate again and received the same error. "Data is invalid". There is some data on this machine that we would definitely like to get off of it. We went to install XP in p ...Show All
piyush varma Rules Editor
I must be missing something simple but I have been unable to use the "System.Workflow.Activities.Rules.RuleConditionReference" within my workflow (CAG specifically). Everytime I select this option and click the ellipse to add a New Condition , the popup closes. If I enter text manually in the ConditionName field and hit enter, it will create the worklow.rules file with RuleExpressionCondition line. Next I try to add the expression by clickin on the ellipse and I get an error "An item with the same key has already been added". I have hand coded a rules file using other examples in hopes of it being recognized but with no luck. Am I missing something Jesse Visual Studio. ...Show All
Conceptor Slow startup times
Hello, I have just installed WWF on my development system. I have noticed that the start/load time for an extremely simply workflow (ie-hello world) is slow. This isn't just the runtime of the application either..

Jeff-B more than one Video Renderer, the get_FullScreenMode() always return E_NOTIMPL!
In my program there are two video render filters, one for local window and the other for remote. However, when I did the following: IVideoWindow *pRemoteVideoRendererVW=NULL hr = Graph.gcap.pFg->QueryInterface(IID_IVideoWindow, (void **) &pRemoteVideoRendererVW); if (hr!=S_OK) { Log.Log(1,"IID_IVideoWindow failed %08x",hr); return; } LONG lMode; hr= pRemoteVideoRendererVW->get_FullScreenMode(&lMode); if (hr!=S_OK) { Log.Log(1,"CCyklOneDlg::OnFullscreen get_FullScreenMode failed %08x",hr); goto exit; } Everything went through without any error. Excepting the pRemoteVideoRendererVW returned by the QueryInterface() does not guarantee that it was the remote windows. It sometimes returns the local vid ...Show All
