• Windows Forms Form opacity and custom panel paint problem

  Hi everyone I have a form with a few custom made panels that paint themselves, drawing a bunch of lines. Every second I call the Invalidate() method on each panel, which overrides the OnPaint() method. I have enabled doublebuffering and everything works flawless when running, except one quite annoying thing... When the form is running with its opacity less than 1 and I start a 3D software in fullscreen I can see my forms paint events from within the 3D software. This means that I can see my forms drawing areas every second as flickering black boxes. This is very annoying and it only happens when the opacity is less than 1. The 3D software I'm running is nVIDIAs GeoForms I have tried to paint the panels without using the Invalidate() and pa ...Show All

• .NET Development Very strange .NET 2 behaviour (compilation result)

  Hello all, I'm using: Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2005 Compiler version 8.00.50727.42 for Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 2005 Framework version 2.0.50727 But have confirmed the problem with the 1.0 framework too.

  Hi, Everyone, Any help would be great, I am trying to replicate master of defense as a learning curve and i cannot figure out the collision detection. It needs to be able to fire continuisly and it will always hit if the army man if it is in a 250 radious area. I have a static tower firing at co-ordinates x = 250, y=0. I also have an army man running down from co-ordinate y 0 to 250. x= 0 I just cant figure how to make the bullet fire properly to kill the army man if he is in the 250 box area. example : if tower x= 0 and y = 0,, army man x = 0 and y = 250 he can be hit, if he is the other side army man is at x=500 and y = 250 he can be hit. I am trying to make a 250 pixel circle around the tower. Any ideas Thanks ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unmanaged C++ and VS2005: Hidden .NET Requirements?

  Hi everyone. While developing some unmanaged C++ DLL that uses COM and ATL, I've been having issues with deploying the DLL to other machines - those without .NET Framework v2. I've found out after some digging that changing the runtime library from its default to one of the debug libraries (and none of the DLL ones) removed this dependency, but introduced some crashes that im not entirely sure are related to my own application's logic. What is the proper way of creating unmanaged c++ DLLs in VC++2005, Who use ATL and COM Thanks in advance. You make many valid points. I tend to agree, however, I'm trying to live by the other approach (dynamic) for a while to see how it works out. Who knows, I may switch ...Show All

• Smart Device Development code signing questionS!!!

  I'm developing applications for pocket pc running windows mobile 5 for employees in the company. The ultimate goal is to prevent the employees from installing other software on the machine other than ours. So we heard that code signing an application force the environment to look for the matching certificate on the machine. The app will not run if it doesn't have the right key signed to it. Since it's for our own company, M2M certificates is not ideal because of cost and deployment. So we decide to create our own certificate. So on my application I created a .pfx file in VS2005. I signed my app and installed it on my 1-Tiers PocketPC. it works. So next i try to create a certificate from my .pfx. I export/generate a .cer file with microsoft ...Show All
