• Windows Live Developer Forums Playing back wma files in Activity Window

  Hi I've seen some posts about this but in general is embedding the window media player controls in the activity window, and getting the bot to play back a sound file, all ok I'm having problems getting the file to play. Thanks Riaan I tried this last night and at this time your activity application needs to be provisioned for ActiveX to successfully use the Media Player control. For security reasons only activity apps for companies that Microsoft has business agreements in place with have access to the ActiveX control capabilities. A business can contact bizdesk@microsoft.com for informaiton on what the agreements look like. Todd Biggs, Windows Live http://www.robotinvaders.com ...Show All

• Visual Basic Setup Wizard in VB 2005 Standard SP1

  This one is aimed at Matthew Gertz in VB Development Team. Yes, I am aware that the Christmas Holidays are near but I hope your response will be quicker than last time. First two points and then my query 1. Despite ticking the Alert Me box, I am not getting Alerts when you post responses. 2. The first time, I opened VB2005 after installing SP1, I got the error message "Run Time Error/Program C:\Pro\R6025 - pure function call" and VB closed. The second time I got an Report Error toMicrosoft - which I did. Third time the programme loaded and ran OK. Curious QUERY I have read extensively in the help file about using the Setup Wizard but the reality does not match the reporting. Page bf5cf02e-b0b7-4a99-ba9c-bcf9d383b7d ...Show All

• .NET Development Multithreading question

  Hello, I have a small program with a form control and two threads. These two threads are identical with only difference is the first one reads the top part of the SQL table, while the other one reads bottom part. Both use the same DLL (that I include using imports statement) and instantiate the same class within their code areas. Now, I want these two threads to use dll and do the work simultaneously. But, they seem to take turns. (I have a counter on the form for both ). I see that when one starts, the other one stops. When the second starts, the first stops. How do I make both run at the same time. They use same table for reading and updating the DB. Thanks in advance, Noorul The simple answer is to get ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Breaks HTML code for prefilled Outlook e-mail fields

  I have web sites designed so that when a visitor clicks on an e-mail link to request information, an Outlook e-mail message opens with the To:, CC:, BCC:, and Subject: fields pre-filled. This works correctly with IE6 and earlier. However, when using IE7, it does not work correctly. When clicking on the link in IE7, the entire HTML code is displayed in the To: field. As an example: After clicking on the " Check Out The Big Wazoo " link on the web page, an IE6 user sees :  To: name1@company.com ; name2@company.com ; name3@company.com CC: name1@company2.com Subject: The Big Company's Big Wazoo in the Outlook email. An IE7 user sees : To: <a href=" Check Out The Big Wazoo">mailto:name1@company.com;name2@company ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Performance of Polylines

  Hi, I`m currently developing application for viewing driving routes on VE. The main problem is that routes contain many points and performance ir terrible. I wrote a function that displays only points visible on map in selected zoom, but it still contains too may points. If I show just few then routes are not correct, they go crosswise. Can anyone help with solution Good to hear. I've played with reducing the number of points in a polyline when you zoom out and it made virtually no difference unless you configure it very agressively and then it modifies the look of the polyline as mentioned above. For me the best solution for my geofences was to replace them with a pushpin when they get too small as you z ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combobox formatstring not working!

  I would really appreciate some help with this guys. I have a form with a combobox (amongst other things). The combobox is bound to a dataset and is filled with the relevant data without problem, however, I'm trying to use the formatstring property to add 1 or 2 spaces before the text for aesthetic reasons but the text remains the same no matter what formatstring I use! The formattingenabled property is set to True, where am I going wrong You can implement the Format event for the binding object. The code is something like this: void OnFormat( object sender, ConvertEventARgs e) { e.Value = " " + e.Value; } This event will be fired when the control tries to get the data. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. all kinds of combination spec

  When I create a tex2D as render target view with SampleDesc.count=4 and MipLevels=4 at the same time, directx reports Directx runtime error"an invalid parameter was passed into the returning function" . What is the problem Thank you. Even with the new more unified memory model there are still limitations. One of them is that a multi sampled 2D texture can’t have mip maps. You can see this limitation on the view creation too. For a multi sampled 2D texture you have to use D3D10_RTV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2DMS as ViewDimension. This get’s you to the Texture2DMS element which is a D3D10_TEX2DMS_RTV structure. In comparison to the D3D10_TEX2D_RTV structure you can’t select a mip slice there. ...Show All
