• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XACT Audio / Minor Rant

  <minor-rant> Can you please, *please* consider supporting a more low level way to play sounds than XACT. The Microsoft Cross Platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT) is a pain to use. I mean seriously how many devs do you have budget for to maintain this so called "IDE" It might be okay for professional game studios but I don't think it's that simple for the XNA GS crowd. Then again having looked in the XACT forum it doesn't look like a lot of professional studios are using it either. So then you have to ask why are we having it forced on us since this audio content creation tool has so far fallen on deaf ears ;). Perhaps it's a secret plot to get the XACT folk to make it better in future perhaps (hmm bite my tongue) A ...Show All

• Visual Basic Prevent Recursive Event

  I was wondering if there is an prefered way to prevent an event from calling itself. I have a combo box that user can edit but if there is an error on the form it will ask if the user really wants to continue. If they do not I want to change the value of the combo box back to the value before the user changed it. When I do this the event fires again. Currently here is my example: Dim blnContinue As Boolean = True ' Check that the current record does not have errors or changes. If so ask user what to do. If RecordChanging() = True Then ' the user wans to continue, check if they are continuing with a save. If Me.NeedToSaveData = True Then If Me.Save = False Then 'Save the current record and check if there were any problems ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dynamic Memory Allocation in Visual Basic

  I am new to Visual Basic, but have had some training in C++. I was working on a program in Visual Basic 2005 where I need to allocate memory to an array dynamically. The array is to be of type ButtonRow, (which is a class I've created for this program). I want the size of this array to equal the total number of rows in a given table. I can figure out how many rows are in the given table, and store that value in a variable (MaxRows). I need to dynamically allocate the ButtonRow array with the size of MaxRows. How do I do that in visual basic Is there a Visual Basic equivalent of the calloc and malloc commands Also, just to give you guys a complete picture, the ButtonRow array is to be a universal array available to all subs within the gi ...Show All
