• Visual C++ WaitForMultipleObjects doesn't work

  Hello Everyone! Function WaitForMultipleObjects Requirements: Requires Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation, Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95. But this function doesn't work in WinNT. Why Thanks in advance Vladimir   Viorel. wrote: Maybe you should replace this: LARGE_INTEGER check_elapse = {10000}; with this: LARGE_INTEGER check_elapse = {-10000};  Otherwise the second argument of SetWaitableTimer  is treated as an absolute time value, which is never reached, since it is in the past (1/1/1601).   I hope this helps.

• SQL Server Averages with multi-select

  I am trying to write an MDX calculation that calculates the average policy premium across multiple policies. It works fine when selecting one carrier. However, the avg function is basically based on the count and sum functions (at least that is what I read). When you select one carrier the average is based on the following: Policy A: 2000 Policy B: 1000 Policy C: 3000 Average: 2000 Lets say I multi-select another carrier and the second carrier has the exact same amounts for the policies the total policy amounts would be : Policy A: 4000 Policy B: 2000 Policy C: 6000 Average: 2000 The summation (12000) should be divided by the number of policies * the number of carriers (6). However, I wind up getting 400 ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums When are the values (in the reports for instance) considered as stable?

  Hi, I was wondering whether there is a delay that I have to take into consideration when I download report from the API to be sure that the values I download are stable. What I mean is: does the msn staff go through the values (clicks for instance) to adjust them (false clicks to be removed...) which can make a report downloaded at 8:00 different from the same report downloaded at 8:30 (if my account is checked during this half hour by the staff) Thanks. That used to be the case, but now the reports are stable once ready. Make sure to specify the AllOrNone flag in order to get the full report (and not partial updates)... HTH, Shai ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Creating MAML Compliant Help in Win Vista

  In Win XP, I create Help files using HTML files. Then I cab them and run a process which places them in the Windows/PC Health/BATCH folder. Then I can view the files in "Start -> Help & Support". But for Win Vista, there is no PCHealth folder so I am assuming that the Help folder is the equivalent And HTML files are not MAML compliant so how do I get my Help file to run in "Start -> Help & Support" Heard that WebWorks will be releasing a template that is MAML compliant so I can create my files in Framemaker then use the MAML template to generate MAML compliant files But will it be a chm or separate files And if I do not use WebWorks and do not understand XML coding, how do I get my Help file to work ...Show All

• .NET Development wininet,winhttp,autoproxy

  I am working in vb.net 2003 and cannot for the forseeable future move to net 2005. I really like net and managed code until I have to work with c++ to accomplish some task like determining the proxy server address for a web service application. I realize that wininet and autoproxy routines mimic what internet explorer uses to connect to the internet. I just find it difficult to work with these c++ routines in the vb environment. This is my question. Is there not some way in managed code to ask the Internet Explorer directly what it is using for a proxy server if any Thanks, Fred Hi Fred, If you want, you can call the WinInet API from managed code using PInvoke. The good thing about this is that you can add the PInvo ...Show All
