• Audio and Video Development Missing WMCreateWriter in wmvcore.lib

  wmvcore.lib shipped with DirectShow (included in the latest PSDK) doesn't list many functions exported by wmvcore.dll (e.g. WMCreateWriter). Does anybody know the reason for this and where I can obtain wmvcore.lib that matches wmvcore.dll I have code that was working and now it appears that there is no way to compile/link this code. Can you (i.e. MS) just post the import library for now, so that people like mys ...Show All

• Windows Forms Oh, the magic that the Tab key does (focus)

  [Using VS2005 Beta2...] The FocusRectangle is a very fickle thing. Create a form with two buttons on it. Create a KeyPress event for the form that cycles focus between the two buttons (turn on KeyPreview for the form): private void Form1_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {   if (button1.Focused)   {     button2.Focus();   }   else   {     button1.Focus();   ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Font effects?

  Is there any way to do simple text effects other than color / style with D3D Font class Something like a glow effect or drop shadow, obviously simpler than how photoshop would do it, but that basic idea. Not with the font class directly. You will have to render them yourself. For drop shadows render a black version of the text behind and slightly offset from the normal text For glows render a slightly big ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 Team Suite Edition fails half way through.

  I finished downloading the full Vs.net 2005 Beta2 team system files, extracted them and then attempted to install them on my Development Laptop.

I ran the Installation, and it installed the .NET framework 2.0, and then the MSXML 6.0 Parser. It got to the VS.NET i ...Show All

• Visual C++ ifstream seekg() problem

  Hi all, I'm using an ifstream to read in a file.  After reading in the file once, I want to "rewind" to the beginning of the file and read it in a second time.  I've tried using the seekg(0, ios::beg) method but it doesn't appear to be working.  I've also closed the ifstream (close() method) and re-opened it.  It appears that it doesn't reset the eof() flag inside the ifstream and prevents me from reading in any data from the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Do you subclass ItemsControl? Keep reading.

  ItemsControl has a protected virtual GetContainerForItemOverride that takes an object parameter. In all in-box WPF controls, this parameter is ignored and a cookie-cutter container is returned. While it’s currently possible for control authors to change the container they return depending on the object provided, we’ve never seen this done. We have an opportunity to optimize the behavior of ItemsControl under a few circumstances, but onl ...Show All
