• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem in RC1 - GetDeviceCaps(screen, LOGPIXELSX) always returns 96

  I found unpleasant bug that still exists even in latest Windows Vista RC1. We call SetProcessDPIAware because we want to manually support High DPI mode. In this mode (as earlier in Windows XP) I retrieve PPI value as Microsoft recommends: HDC screen = GetDC(0); scaleX = GetDeviceCaps(screen, LOGPIXELSX) / 96.0; scaleY = GetDeviceCaps(screen, LOGPIXELSY) / 96.0; ReleaseDC(0, screen); But in Windows Vista RC1 it allows return 96, instead of 120 as I set in display properties.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem with MSDN 2D animate sprite example?

  I was following the example/tutorial on this page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb203866.aspx and I think it may have a problem. It seems to skip the last frame of the image. Here is my example image, it is 256x64 with 4 64x64 frames as specified in the example. http://tehone.com/images/xna/ball-4frames.png If you plug in the code on that page with this image, it skips the last frame of my image.

Can anyone tell me why they would be -1 from the framecount in the first place Thanks again. From this: // class Anima ...Show All

  Hey. I just got into Sidebar development and have a question. I've already got my gadget displaying nicely, but have run into problems making it functional. My Javascript is really rusty, so bear with me here.
