• Visual Basic Windows service does work every 24 hours

  How do I set up a Windows service to do work once every 24 hours. I have read that using a loop that checks the desired time to the current time is a good solution, but I am wondering if there is a better way. I want to accomplish something similar to Windows Update. you can place a timer on the service and implement the timeelapsed event and set the interval to 24 hours. The timer interval is measured in milliseconds so you want to convert 24 hours into milliseconds :-P http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/393k7sb1.aspx does this work for you Have you tried it before Another thing you could do is on every hour, check if 24 hours has been elapsed either by adding 1 to a counter variable a ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow 2 input filter

  I have created a Directshow filter that has 1 input, the base class is CTransformFilter. The input is MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB24. The filter does some color correction. Now I would like to add another input and make it a two input video filter for DirectShow. The idea is to use the second input for doing a composite. Both inputs should be both MEDIASUBTYPE_RGB24. Has anyone done this before Should I still be using the CTransformFilter base class Or should I use another base class or extend CTransformFilter base class to support 2 inputs. If anyone has any code samples for 2 inputs vide filter that would be great Don James I am outputting the result of the filter ...Show All
