• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. getting the position of vertices in a mesh

  Hello everybody. I am trying to get the position of vertices in a mesh. That seems to work fine except that the data I get doesn't make sense. To me. I use a lock on the mesh.VertexBuffer (both versions... an array and a graphics stream with same results) and use the returned array or graphics stream to look for vertices that have a Position "of interest". The only issue is that some "Positions" have coordinates in scientific format which doesn't make sense since the mesh renders nice. Some code (used on ball.x shipped with the SDK. I have tried other meshes and the only one that has "n ...Show All

• Visual Studio I need to report this debugging error - please help.

  I've discovered a nasty debugger bug. Who can I report this to Here are the steps I took to create the error: I am debugging a classic ASP page by attaching VS to a process (dllhost.exe). I have an ASP page called __WOV_Functions. 1) Attach VS to dllhost.exe. 2) Place a breakpoint on line 6 (see the jpg in the link below). 3) A duplicate tab called __wov_functions (all lowercase) appears with the breakpoint at line 6. 4) On the __wov_functions page (all lowercase), I click on lines 7-13 to add breakpoints to them, but they show up in the breakpoint window as all of them being on line 6 (see jpg again).

• Visual Basic Return the line number where an exception has occurred.

  I am looking for a method to return the line number of the code where an exception has occurred so I can include it in my alert message. Does anyone have an example that would help identify the location of the exception. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In a debug build where you have debug symbols the exception's stack trace should automatically include that information. I wouldn't recommend displaying exception messages to an end user. ...Show All

• Visual C# How to prevent a form from being activated/gaining focus.

  I'm working on a project where I want to be able to click on a form but not have the form keep focus. Although not what I'm working on at the moment but the Windows On Screen Keyboard is a good example. The OSK when clicked on doesn't take focus, but keeps the focus on the control that had the focus before. It does this but still is able to proccess an onclick event and send the keystroke over to the control that has focus. I'm needing to do something similar. I've tried overriding the onActivate method but it seems by then the form has already taken focus. Any help is appreciated. You might be able to do s ...Show All

  I am unfortunately in an NT4 domain.

• Visual C# Good examples for indexer?

  Hi! I am preparing a short presentation on indexers, but I really don't get when to use them. It seems to me that normal accessors and mutators do the job fine. What advantage does an indexer have over an accessor /mutator (For that matter, what advantage has a property over an accessor /mutator ) What is a good example, e.g. of a business usage What sort of class has "array-like access" besides one that encapsulates an array--like most of the examples I've seen It seems very alien to me to think of a class as an array! If the class is defining a new type of data structure, then perhaps an indexer makes sense Than ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Disable "Unprotect Document" in Tools Menu Item

  Is it possible to disable "Unprotect Document" in Tools Menu Item in MS Word using VBA We are accessing and modifying documents in Java using JACOB. If the document is protected we are unprotecting the document and doing modifications. But if the document is protected using a password there is no way we can provide the password programatically as each document could have different passwords. So if it is possible to disable the "Unprotect Document" menu using VBA then the menu can be disabled and the document protected without password. This way the document can be accessed and modified only programatically and not by the ...Show All
