• Visual Studio Express Editions How to make a simple function

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks The code Dim ckBox As CheckBox = sender ckBox.checked = Not ckBox.Checked makes an infinite loop, but now i know how to use sender which should be very useful, thank ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Installation problem in windows vista

  I am facing problem during installation in vista beta2 OS. Windows installer is throwing error during registration of few dlls. These dlls are marked as "self registered" and are build in VS 2005. Also I have included the dependent vc8 merge modules along with the package. I tried to install in a clean XP SP2 OS. It installed with out any problem. Then I tried to install it in vista beta2(5342 and 5384 builds). It throws error while doing the self registration. After the first error message pops up, I checked the WinSxs folder for the dependent mfc dll. That time it was not installed. I ignored all message and finally able to see the mfc dlls in the WinSxs folder. Assuming next time it will install correctly as already depende ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating a terrain using ContentPipeline and XmlImporter (or a custom importer / processor)

  Here's my situation: I want to create a text file describing terrain attributes, like heightmap file (raw or an image format), colormap, detailmap and splatting maps. Only the heightmap file and format will be required in this file, so the colormap, detailmap and splatting maps are optional. I then want to add this file to my XNA game project and have it pack a .xnb file containing this data. Ideally, when I do this in my game's LoadContent method: Terrain t = contentManager.Load<Terrain>(@"Content\Terrain\Test"); I should get the terrain object back ready to use, with whatever options I set in it. I couldn't get custom importers and processors to work, so I'll come back to that later, but I did get XmlImporter working with ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Collision Detection Cont.

  Hello, as some of you may know, I'm working on a collision detection system, and thanks to PolygonSoup, I've gotten a lot further allong. In my tests, speed does not seem to be affected at all by my method of going through every triangle in the level if I base my collision on a single sphere, but I have problems with the collision itself. I used a rough (and horribly incorrect) algorithm to detect if my sphere is even remotely close to the triangle. What I'm looking for is a formula that will tell me the distance between point [X,Y,Z] and triangle [(X,Y,Z),(X,Y,Z),(X,Y,Z)]. After that, I will simply determine if the distance is less than the radius of my sphere. Thank you. Thank you! You're code works perf ...Show All

• Visual C++ when I upgrading a project from vc6.0 to vc2005 ,I wonder if it is necessnary for me to add reference of those dlls to the proje

  In vc2005, when using a dll or a lib in a project ,it is necessnary to add reference of that dll to the project.But when I upgrading a project from vc6.0 to vc2005 ,in the additional dependency of general option of linker of configration property, I can see all the dll and lib files.In the situation, I wonder if it is necessnary for me to add reference of those dlls to the project ,or just keep the project setting no changing I appreciate your help. Adding references is something you have to do when you are working with CLI projects (in other words, using .NET technology). With a native project, you would either instruct the linker to load the .lib (e.g. in the linker options, as you mention), or use a combination of LoadLi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista IfElseActivity built within ActivityToolboxItem (Designer Drop)

  Hi I am trying to create an composite activity that has its child activities added as it is dropped onto the designer. I use a ActivityToolboxItem and override the CreateComponentsCore in order to achieve this. this worked well for most activities untill I tried the IfElseActivity - or more specifically the conditions of the branch. MyActivty has a boolean property that will be bound to other activities by the designing user, this should then be used as the condition of the IfElseBranchActivity. Users can't add this manually as MyActivity will have an activity designer attribute that hides the IfElseBranchActivity (and I don't won't them to either). I can't find a way of creating this condition/rule inside the ActivityToolboxItem. ...Show All
