• Software Development for Windows Vista Message Queue Error: "QueueExists"

  I get following error (tranlated from ger to eng): "Eventqueue action error with 'MessageQueueErrorCode' QueueExists for the Queue 'a37f912a-9c...'." What I do: I have a state machine workflow with 4 states. At the point where this error happens I am in the RunningState. There I have an EventHandlingActivity which listens for a certain event. If this event happens I need to check 2 variables After a successfull check I add a delay activity (with a EventHandlingActivity) to the current state (executing state). This seems to work (my code is executed) but I cannot monitor the addition of the delay activity, because I gets te ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Resuming paused segment using SetStartPoint doesn't work

  I am trying to pause and resume a segment playing a wave file. I call pPerf->StopEx(pSeg, 0, 0) to pause the segment. I then set the length using SetLength() and set a new startpoint using SetStartPoint(). However, the segment plays from the starting and not at the new start point. Should I use any flags to modify the segment behaviour. Right now it is set to zero in both StopEx and PlaySegmentEx Just before calling PlaySegmentEx, I can retrieve the length as 4608 and startpoint as 2759 (both is MUSIC_TIME). Pls. let me know if I need to do something else to get this to work. Are you sure this is about ...Show All

• Visual C++ Having several Heaps

  This is a little advanced question and didn't know where to post it. I'm doing windows system programming. We can create several Heaps for the same Process. My question is, how can I copy and duplicate a Heap and create an exact copy of it in a different Heap. Both Heaps will be in the same Process of course. Perhaps you could use HeapWalk and CopyMemory SamDav wrote: This is a little advanced question and didn't know where to post it. I'm doing windows system programming.

• Visual C++ Cannot set VC++ Directories in the Options dialog of Visual C++ Express Edition

  Details :  The VC++ Directories page on the Options dialog does not have a list box for viewing and modifying the directories used during a build. Consequently, it is not possible to modify the build directories using the IDE UI.

Please make sure that you also delete the file "vccomponents.dat" located in the "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Ap ...Show All
