• Windows Forms Need advice designing Navigation system.

  Hello all, We currently have an old Access app that I am currently planning to convert to a VB.NET windows forms app. The navigation design of this Access "Switch Board" form is way too drawn out. It is made up of nothing but buttons in the middle of the form to show more buttons (if sub-drilling) or to open a form. Well, sometimes it takes 5 or 6 click throughs to get to the form I want to display. About 10 employees here use this system and are semi-happy with the existing navigation. Well I hate it. I look at it as if a new person came on-board, could they easily navigate through all those buttons. So now I wanna redesign the navigation to suit the existing users and be simple enough for new comers to navigate with ease. Are t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista VIDEOINFOHEADER does not update image dimensions

  I have some DirectShow code that loads video clips and plays them onto OpenGL textures. The problem I have is that the VIDEOINFOHEADER returned from the SampleGrabber does not update the bmiHeader.biWidth when changing from a 640x480 to a 720x480 clip. I release the SampleGrabber and all DS filters before rebuilding the chain and clear out the AM_MEDIA_TYPE structs before calling the SampleGrabber's GetConnectedMediaType method. I have the Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK, have built the DS samples as debug and develop on XP SP2. Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated. This may actually be a codec specific problem. I'm using ffdshow for MJPEG decompression and it has this problem. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office problems with deployment of VSTO 2005 Excel application

  I have created a VSTO 2005 Excel application. If I deploy it to the computer where VSTO 2005 development systems is installed the application works as designed.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Setting up OpenGL with Visual C++ 2005

  Okay, so basically I tried to write a simple OpenGL program in Visual C++. I'm using the Win32 Application Template, and I have everything linked correctly. However, when I try to run the program, I get many compile errors. This is my first experience with OpenGL (not with C++, though), and I copied a sample program from a book. #include <gl\glut.h> #include "stdafx.h" void Initialize(); void MouseHandler(int button, int state, int x, int y); void KeyboardHandler(unsigned char key, int x, int y); void MainMenuHandler(int option); void Animate(); void Reshape(int width, int height); void Display(); /**************************************************************************** main() Setup GLUT and OpenGL, drop into the event loop *** ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can I pass other objects to a MediaElement than files (jpg, wmv) ?

  Hi, I’d like to pass a memory stored object like a ByteArray containing the data of a wmv video to a MediaElemt. How can I do that Can I set the source property to a memory object Or is there a generic video object that raw video data (the in memory representation of a wmv video file) can be passed to and assigned dynamically to a MediaElemnt Or is there a completely different method of achieving this One more question: Is it vice versa possible to extract data (the video stream) from a MediaElement and store it into a memory object (like a bytearray) Please help me with this!

• Smart Device Development Problem with an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

  Hi, I got a very strange problem on WM5. My code works fine on PC2002, PC2003, .NET1.1 (WinXP) but it does not on WM5. The code works fine when I query a web-site that respondes with Keep-Alive tag and it doesn't work when a web-site respondes with Proxy-Connection : Close. The code is very simple - it accepts connections and for each connection creates two sockets, one is accepted socket and the other soket is to a proxy server. Then the code just passes queries-responses between browser on PDA and the proxy server. There are 2 threads per connection, one thread reads from browser and writes to my proxy server, another thread reads from the proxy and writes to the browser. I have removed all unnecessary code t ...Show All

  I am deploying a project on a large number of user machines. On a W2K machine, when I tested the MSI, it of course, did not have the Framework or the correct version of Windows Installer. But I did get the expected error messages. So I am going to issue install instructions that state the order of install is to first install these two items, and then install the application. Do any of you do anything different Ok, that's a nice feature. Unfortunataly, it doesn't work. I don't know if it works on XP machines. But it does not work at all on W2K machines. ...Show All
