  Hoping someone has some thoughts on this problem. I'm trying to write a function that reads all strings in a listbox (owner-draw, does not have HASSTRINGS enabled, so all strings are just stored as pointer references to memory in the listbox), where the listbox is in another running process (i.e. a separate program, no ability to modify the source code, etc). Using Visual C++ 2005, the following function works (i.e. it reads the strings), but pr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Distortion w/ Device.Present to another control & w/ SwapChains

  I am having trouble using one device to render to multiple Controls.  I have tried two methods, one using the Device.Present overrides to redirect output to a second control, the other is to use SwapChains with their device set to that second control. While both methods work in a way they produce the same baaaaaaaaad result: massive distortion of the result.  What seems to happen is that when the second target is drawn the source rect ...Show All
