• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. loading textures "in game"

  Hi I know how to load a texture when the game starts, but how to load a texture when the game has already startede ex. 10 min in the game No no ... I don't think that calling content.Load anywhere in the code is what's under discussion here. I always thought that the point of the LoadGraphicsContent had something to do with the device resetting ... that you would have to reload some content if the device resets, and doing it in the LoadGraphicsContent method would ensure it got reloaded right. Honestly, I'm not sure that the concept of losing the device, why it happens, and what you have to do when it does happen has been covered very well anywhere. And if it has, I missed it :-) ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Gaming groups or websites

  I'm looking for a good 2D gaming development group or website. For example, DeviantArt is where artists go to share their work with other artists. Is there a game dev equivalent I'm a 2D, RPG developer typically. If you know of any other great communitys out there (apart from this one, of course), please let me know. Thanx! *jinx Since you're posting on an XNA-related forum, I'll assume you're looking for a similarly focused web site, in which case you might want to check out the one I run: www.threesixbox.com ...Show All

• Visual C++ Simulating Left Mouse Button Click

  Hi, At the moment, I am running into a problem which is this: Every time I right-click on a TreeView item in my application, the selected item remains the item prior to right-clicking rather than changing to the right-clicked item. While this isn't exactly a BUG, it is quite an inconvenience. The most obvious solution to the problem, to me, is to simulate a left-button click in the right-click NM_RCLICK event that will in turn select the item prior to any further actions. Is there a better way to accomplish this If not, how can the left-click simulation be accomplished Thanks in advanced. ---Dan To simulate mouse clicks, you can use mouse_event and SendInput. However, I think it will be better to use ...Show All

• Windows Forms format 2 decimal places.

  Dear All, I would like to find out how can I can constraint my text box to accept 2 digits after my decimal point example is 2.89 and not 2.878958. Another thing is how can I ensure that when I use the function Convert .ToDouble(textBoxValue.Text) I must get in the format that I get only 2 digits after the decimal point just like 2.89 and not 2.878958. Thanks. Trying to format the value while the user enters the text is easily defeated with the Paste command. Try this: private void textBox1_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e) { decimal value; if (!decimal.TryParse(textBox1.Text, out value)) e.Cancel = true; else textBox1.Text = value.ToString("0.00"); } ...Show All

• Visual C++ Intellisense becoming unable to resolve objects

  I'm posting this here and not in the general Visual Studio forum because my experience so far tells me the situation with C++ is different than with, say, C# (I have so far at least one example where VS's tools behave worse in the C++ environment than in that of C#). I have Intellisense getting confused and unable to resolve objects so often that I find myself closing the solution, deleting the *.ncb file, and reopening the solution. It almost makes me wish I had a "rebuild Intellisense" button... Kamen The best way to reproduce the issue is to log it at http://connect.microsoft.com and attach the project there; then describe the steps to reproduce the issue. After you do that, please reply back to this thread with the l ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to load textures embedded in a model file using a custom importer

  I have a Q3 BSP loader and want to build the lightmap data during the import stage, however while i can build the data into a Texture2DContent, There seems to be no way to do anything with it - the BasicMaterialContent class has a Textures collection, but seems to require an external reference to a filename. Any ideas N I can load and manipulate the data in the class fine. I was simply wondering if you could add the texture to the textures collection thus automatically binding it to my shader. Looks like I'll just have to serialize the texture and load at runtime as suggested. Cheers N ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista XAML Based WF Linked to Assembly

  I am trying to set up an XAML based workflow where all of the activities are either common activites or defined in a custom assembly. I am loading the xoml file at runtime using an XMLReader to load the xoml file, then calling CreateWorkflow with the XMLReader. After working with this a bit I was finally able to get the workflow to load correctly. The workflow starts with a While Activity. The While activity calls a member of my custom SequentialWorkflowActivity class named 'ContinueLooping'. 'ContinueLooping' sets args.Result = true; This should result in a continuous loop, however, the workflow always completes right away. If I put a message box in the 'ContinueLooping', I never see the message box. If I change the name of the 'ContinueL ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is it possible to register a manually installed version?

  My own PC doesn't have any sort of internet connection, so I've downloaded the manual installation versions (*.img files) on another PC and installed those. Because of this, the "Register" menu option is a bit useless to me as it has to connect to the internet to perform the registration, and from what I've gathered the registration is tied to a PC so I don't think copying and pasting the URL it tries to use would work. Is there any way around this Is there then any way to benefit from the registration benefits (e.g. e-books) if a registration is not possible because the computer has no internet connection ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why doesn't PDH work?

  Hello, I've been trying to develop an application that reads the CPU load from the computer and the free RAM memory available. To do so, I was primarily thinking about using the PDH interface, since we are building to Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, both of which already come with the PDH.dll. I downloaded the platform SDK from Microsoft's site, and I am using Visual Studio 2005. My dilemma is, every time I try to compile the source code, it gives me several errors, even with example codes taken from Microsoft's site. It gives me several unindentified objects in _main (it cannot understand/localize the commands, datatypes and so on). I don't understand why. I tried copying the pdh.h and pdh.lib to the main i ...Show All
