• Audio and Video Development 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

• Visual C++ Need a delay routine inside application

  I am running an application that automatically processes a data string about every 8 minutes. Using Sleep(xx) function does not allow the continuously looping application to rebuild its window or allow other applications to run. Any suggestions I used Visual C++ vs 6 MFC on WindowsXP Prof. Hi Bill, I installed the above routine, but seem to have a problem with the Window handle when declaring it in my waiting loop:: BOOL bOfferCancel = TRUE; HWND hWnd; Sleep(1000); if (KeepGUIAlive(hWnd, bOfferCancel) == FALSE) AfxMessageBox("You have terminated the data collection",MB_OK); Declaring the handle hWnd as shown above tells me that it is an uninitialized variable.

• SQL Server Drill Down Initially visible...

  Hello, I'm working w/ a report that has a table w/ a group. The detail row o this group is set to be initially visible, but toggle to hidden on another report item. In my case this report item is a textbox in the header row of that group. When the groups are toggled to hidden, the report does not re render properly. The gaps that would have existed had there been data in between the group headers remains. Because the groups that I have are reasonably large, the gaps that this leaves are quite significant. (sometimes multiple pages) Is this a known error Thanks in advance. Seriously this is a big problem, could someone please offer some sort of advice/information on this topic. This SHOULD not be an issue. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Sample: MSN AddIn - Outlook Calendar

  Description A simple msn live addin that will integrate with Outlook Calendar. Set it up so that it's enabled when my status is anything other than "online" or "appear offline". Now when someone sends you a message the addin will check outlook to see if you currently have any appointments and reply with something like this: [15:33] dan (work): Auto-Response: I am currently in a meeting (test) scheduled to end at 4:00 PM If no appointments are found no reply is sent. The addin also keeps an internal list of users that it has replied to so that it doesn't send out the same info more than once to each person. This list is reset when the status is changed back to online. As with the text-to-speech sample I posted the oth ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Method for animating rumble on CodePlex

  Hello everyone. First, thanks to everybody who is contributing to the community. You guys are awesome! I wrote some code to animate the vibration of the rumble motors. I hadn't seen this topic come up at all and after playing a really great XNA game that had really bad rumble (either fully on or fully off) I figured it wouldn't hurt to put it up. http://www.codeplex.com/acres The first release has a Windows game project demonstrating a few different rumble animations when you press the various face buttons. I'm really curious to know how people handle controller vibration in their games. Is it an afterthought Do you handle its procedurally or through predefined settings Hi, On a title we did for Xbox we used to feed audio wave f ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Standard User Analyzer causes COM and ActiveX to fail

  We have a legacy application programmed in C++ and MFC that runs on Windows 2000 and XP but has problems with COM and ActiveX when run on VISTA. This app is built with Visual Studio 2003. I remotely debugged this app running on Vista from my development machine and found that the COM and ActiveX problems is the app trying to instantiate the COM components but they return E_ACCESSDENIED. I have checked the following: 1. The COM components on both my development machine (XP) and the test machine (VISTA) have the same ACL’s. 2. The access denied problem occurs if I am logged into the test machine (VISTA) as a local user or an administrator (Admin Approval Mode). 3. I added: HRESULT hr ...Show All

• SQL Server Is Service Broker Enabled?

  Hello, I've been trying for two days now to get SQL Cache Dependencies to work. So far, nothing has worked, and I have been around the block a few times now on this one. So now I'm going back to basics, as I think my code and queries are fine. My first question is how to confirm that I have a Service Broker that is up and running. I am using SSX as my database engine. Other posts mention how the "look at the service broker folder", and I don't see a folder anywhere. Can someone tell me what to look for I've added various SP's based on tutorials on web sites, so I can't tell if those SP's are mine or theirs at this point (I've been at this too long). Where is the "folder" the other posts have mentioned Do I need to do ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Pass in parameter to TeamBuild

  I know that TFSBuild.rsp can be used to pass in msbuild parameters to the command line when a TeamBuild is fired, but is there any way to do this on the command line directly e.g. in my TFSBuild.rsp file I have: /p:SkipClean=true;SkipInitializeWorkspace=true;ForceGet=false this will carry out an incremental build,, but I dont always want to do it so I'd rather pass these in on the command line when using TFSBuild.exe to start a build. Is it possible thanks for the reply the problem I want to condition the import of the file when I fire the build, I think my only option is seperate build types but will mean I need quite a few ...Show All
