I have my license key, but cannot get to where I can enter the key. The deal was I had to DL the trial version and then do an upgrade. I was able to do thi...
I'm trying to build a ribbon app in visual studio and I got that linker error. After looking through the headers, I noticed that CLSID_ScenicIntentFramework is defined as extern const CLSID. The think is, I can't seem to figure out which library I need to link to (or other header i need to import?). I'd really appreciated some help too....

I have this project that recently started crashing on beta builds of Windows 7. Something about the XAML parser going belly up.

Ste...

However, it looks like as soon as you install an IAudioSessionEvents listener SndVol lists the program with all associated volume controls. As a go...

Code registering custom IAudioSessionNotification: #define SAFE_RELEASE(comObj) \ if(comObj...
