• Visual C++ Passing a value from one class to another class

  I am have a sample Thread on a Windows Form Project. I have a button that Starts a Thread and does a simple loop. The loop is in located in a header file but i want it to update a a progressbar in form1. I understand i would need a delegate in form1 to update the progressbar but calling that delegate in form1 is what i am having problems with. Below is the entire Header. #pragma once #include "Form1.h" namespace NamespaceThread { using namespace System; ref class ThreadClass { public: static void MyThread(); }; void ThreadClass::MyThread() { for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++) { //Delegate needs to be called to update progressBar1->Value } } } in form1.h i have a delegate like below delegate void ProgressSte ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Unable to share a windows game - Followed the instructions on the manual

  Okay, so I finished my first game using XNA Game Studio Express, it has been only a few days since I installed it, and it has been quite easy, having experience at making games. Now, I want to show this game to my friends, so I send it to a couple of them (both of them have XNA Game Studio Express installed), and it works great. Now I want to show it to some other friends, these who do not know what making games is about, these who do not have XNA Game Studio Express. I ensure they follow these instructions, from the manual: Sharing a Windows game On Windows you need to distribute your game executable and any content required by your game. In addition you need to ensure that the user has the following redistributables installed ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Writing a Custom Game Making Tool using XNA

  I've posted quite a few threads in the past day, so bear with me. What I'm writing is basically a tool that will allow you to write a scene, using preloaded sprites, backrounds, audio and more. Now from there, it will use Reflection.Emit to take the game and turn it into a simple .exe file that will have all the draw calls included. Now, what I am worried about is that good old ContentLoadException. Now, I would need away for my exe to include all of the nessicary content at runtime. I was thinking of compressing them using a standard Gzip-like format, then at runtime loading up what would be needed. I'm wondering if there is a better approach at doing this. You certainly can use the content pipeline, b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System <ALLOWEXISTINGVALUE> not valid for System.Reason

  Can anyone explain why <ALLOWEXISTINGVALUE> is not allowed for System.Reason. I would think this is just an ordinary string field. Thanks. We are importing all the defects, features and tasks from our previous tracking system into TFS. The lifecyle behavior was different there (only states, no reason field). So I want to map all 'old lifecycle states to reasons in TFS. New work items in TFS however should follow the TFS-lifecycle (state, reason). ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Clipping Layered Sprites (UI Related)

  You know how in a panel if a child button runs off the side of the panel, it gets clipped. Does anyone know how one might go about doing that with XNA Or how they do it in OpenGL/DirectX Are they doing something with the stencil buffer wouldn't it be more efficient to use logic to decide if (for example) the text goes outside of the rectangle text input area then use the source parameter on spriteBatch to then stop it from drawing e.g. if (area.Right > text.Right) { source.Width -= (text.Right - area.Right); } does that make sense, and wouldn't that be quicker to draw ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development video zoom

  I'm working on a small function that zooms the video (with optional panning) but using the code below doesn't seem to work, any tips addEventListener("controller_key_down",keyPressed,true); function keyPressed(evt) { Player.video.main.changeLayout(0,0,Player.createVideoScale(1,2),0,0,1920,1080,"00:00:00:00"); } The above code should have changed the video on any key press. Peter said " You can only specify 0 duration if the video is paused; otherwise, you need a duration anywhere from 1 frame to 3 seconds" but this is wrong. I think what he meant to say was "if paused you MUST specify a duration of zero. If playing, anything from 0 to 3 seconds is good. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Debugging C++ Unmanaged code

  Hi, I have a problem while trying to debug my unmanaged C++ application using Visual Studio 2005 and with Windows Mobile 5. Basically, I am able to run the application in the debugger, and even step into methods etc. But, all of this requires the use of a breakpoint. Right at the moment I have a deadlock which I would like to debug. I can reproduce the deadlock "at will", and want to use the debugger to "Break All"/"Pause" the session and to see the Call Stack of each thread. I can indeed pause the debugging session but none of the call stacks are available for the threads. As near as I can figure the symbols are loaded correctly, since I can see the call stack if I place a breakpoi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing selected tabpage when focus changes

  Hello, I have a Windows form with a tab control containing two tabpages; each tabpage contains a few textboxes. The form also has an 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons. The 'OK' button validates user input before processing it, and if there is invalid input, it displays a messagebox and sets focus on the invalid textbox. For simplification, let's assume this is the logic executed on btnOk.Click (Note that txtTabpage2 is in TabPage2): Private Sub BtnOk_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnOk.Click If String .IsNullOrEmpty( Me .txtTabpage2.text.trim) Then MessageBox.Show( "Invalid content" ) Me .txtTabpage2.Focus() End If End Sub Now, if the user ...Show All
