• Windows Live Developer Forums Java Applet in Messenger Activity?

  I have tried to create a small multiuser test activity using the MSN Messenger Activity SDK. I have successfully created a local XML file for the messenger directory. I have also succeeded in inviting another user to participate in the activity and is redirected to the HTML page deployed on my local web server. So far so good! I want to implement some of the activity functionality as a Java applet but where the applet should be displayed there is only a grey area (as if the applet is not initialized properly). When I access the Java applet directly using a browser it works perfectly. Is it not possible to embed a Java applet in the HTML to be embedded in the MSN messenger activity window How can this be acheived ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Unified Input

  It's my biggest gripe about XNA and directx, there's no unified input...   I don't have a 360 controller hooked to my pc, not even sure if that is possible... is it Anyhow, since i took the whole unified input idea from Lynn T Harrison's book, i'll share it here in hopes that people can email me suggestions and feedback. The enum translations aren't finished yet and the InputManager is a singleton (i'm on a singleton kick lately don't know why), and obviously the gamepad implementation isn't finished.  Hopefully you can sortof see where i was headed with the 360 implementation...   wel here it is, i guess email me at jhered at yahoo com if you have suggestions.   I am not familiar w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Monetary currency

  Is there a way to format decimals & datagridview cells to particular monetary currencies (yen, euros, pounds, etc..) without having to change the regional locale I can't use the formating specifier as it depends on the regional locale. For example, if my regional locale is set to the United States. My code: s = String.Format("{0:c}", price) would output $5.00. But what happens if I want the currency to be in yen (￥) How can I format each decimal or datagrid view cell to display the monetary currency that I want (as opposed to using my system's regional locale settings) Thanks! You are correct in both of your statements, however you did not look into all of the overloads for string.F ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Designer Query

  Hiya I have created a custom activity derived from Sequence. It contains a code, parallel and 2nd code activity. I assume the best way to control the look of the activity is to use custom designers for the child activities. For the code child activites my designer looks like this: public class CodeAfterBranchDesigner : ActivityDesigner { protected override Size OnLayoutSize( ActivityDesignerLayoutEventArgs e) { return new Size (0, 0); } protected override void OnPaint( ActivityDesignerPaintEventArgs e) { GraphicsPath myPath = new GraphicsPath (); Rectangle pathRect = new Rectangle ( this .Location.X, this .Location.Y, 0, 0); myPath.AddRectangle(pathRect); Pen myPen ...Show All
