• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and Right Click Menu

  I have an IE explorer bar which makes use of a Right Click menu option. The right click menu option is implemented the usual way by creating a new key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\<menu text> and this menu is pointing to a file in the local file system. This file is basically a VB Script file which parses the highlighted text passed down to it from the browser and uses that text as a query parameter to lauch another URL from the server (using external.menuArguments.navigate(url)). My Explorer Bar captures this navigation, stops it in the main browser and relaunches it using IWebBrowser2.Navigate so that the URL will show up inside my Explorer Bar rather than the main browser window. Eventually this new URL ...Show All

• Smart Device Development when a socket listen on ppc 2003 what is the correspondant port on pc?

  I have one ppc 2003 connected through an USB cable to a pc (activesync 4.2) but i can't find any way of connecting (sockets) from a pc app to a ppc one that is listening... Is there a port translation between them example: TcpListener mylistener = null ; try { mylistener = new TcpListener ( IPAddress .Any, 2072); } catch {} mylistener.Start(); TcpClient myclient = new TcpClient (); while (!mylistener.Pending()) { Thread .Sleep(500); } myclient = mylistener.AcceptTcpClient(); On pc i think ppc Ip is 127.0.0.1 (local loop) but what about the 2072 port If you mean you're using 127.0.0.1 on PC as device’s IP, that most certainly won't work. This IP is indeed local loop and means &q ...Show All

• Visual Studio Error Deploying to Vista

  I have a VS2005/VB desktop application that uses the built-in version of CR.

• Audio and Video Development Scaling with Media Foundation transform

  Hi I'm trying to write a transform that among other things does scaling. To Test it I'm using the PlaybackFX from the Media Foundation samples. The problem I encountered in is that in the transfrom filter it looks like the other parts of the topology is ok with the scaling (I'm getting SetOutputType() with the scaled size), but in the player it doesn't seem like working. I tried to get the video size using IMFVideoDisplayControl::GetNativeVideoSize() and I'm getting the original size before the scaling (the MSDN describe this function as a way to get the size prior to any stretching by the video renderer, so I expected it to be the scaled size). I also tried to set the video size to the output size of the ...Show All
