• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow / DirectDraw surface problem (getsurface())

  First off i apaologise as my DirectShow knowledge is more or less non-existant, if it was better this problem would maybe be blindingly obvious but I have searched forums, documentation, usd the DX debugging features etc and still haven't solved it! I am using directshow with directdraw surfaces to play avi's in the Irrlicht engine. they play fine in a windowed app but I have a problem in full screen. the movie is played to a surface then copied to a texture that I can use. The problem seems to be that I use 32 bit textures and that when I call pSample->GetSurface(&pSurface,&Movie_rect); (pSample is a pointer to a IDirectDrawStreamSample) I get a 16 bit surface in fullscreen mode, even though my Irrlicht devi ...Show All

Thanks Tomas Do you mean the internet message ID from the "Message-ID" MIME header If you are trying to access this property, and you are building a solution that targets Outlook 2003, then you need to use Extended MAPI or CDO (neither of which are supported in managed code) to access the internet headers property of the mail message.
