Whats the best approach (read painless) that I could take? Primarily, the application needs to record the webcam video + mic recording on the disk and compress the video using ffmpeg (or something similar). So there is hardware involved + running a separate process for encoding. I was seriously considering Adobe AIR - but I read on the...

I remember I stumbled upon a page once that said Microsoft has released an application that allows you to test your client applications for windows azure locally. The application would act as mock windows azure environment and you could use local end points for connecting to it. Does anyone know which application is it or what is its na...
I've got a sizable dialog with one child window - a list control. When the dialog is re-sized, I re-size the list control appropriately; it is basically anchored to all 4 edges of the dialog. The problem is that during sizing there is noticeable flicker around the edges of the list control, especially when the scroll bars are present. ...
I don't think there is any program like VS Windows.Forms for C++. Now I know that "Windows.Forms" are in themselves a C# "thing", but it eludes me why no one has put together a similar graphical construction interface for C++ Windows GUIs. Am I just not aware of it/them? Should I try to make one (that'd be a challenge, for me anyway, bu...

I am writing an application which needs to read fairly large files. I have always wondered what's the optimum size for the read buffer on a modern Windows XP computer. I googled and found many examples which had 1024 as the optimum size. Here is a snippet of what I mean: long pointer = 0; buffer = new byte[1024]; // What's a good size...

I have a written an ETW provider which is used by my system to log opaque blobs of binary data using the TraceEvent API function. My system is essentially a high throughput event processing system and I want to be able to (cheaply) capture the serialised state of certain objects as they pass through the system. This will give me a replay...
OK, so we're writing our MFC application to make use of the built-in localization support with satellite DLL's since MFC 7. Everything seem to be working fine, except that my Windows 7 Enterprise Edition install with MUI support and using a Swedish UI instead of an English UI still displays the English UI in our application. The applica...
Hi, I want to read status information that an application provides via shared memory. I want to use C++ in order to read the content of that named shared memory and then call it with pinvoke from a C#-class. From the software I know that it has a certain file structure: A struct STATUS_DATA with an array of four structs of SYSTEM_CHARA...
HI guys! I try to call Axis2 WSDL2JAVA in my ant file to create a WSDL client. But it's broken because I have whitespaces in my path (I'm on Windows...).

I have a VB6 COM client that makes calls to an inprocess STA ATL/COM server. One of the Server methods, X, can take a while to finish so I need to be able to cancel it. What I tried was to run the method code in a new thread and include another method, Y, that does a timed WaitForSinleObject. So the client first calls X then goes into a ...
I know things like images, music, videos support metadata. My idea is that I want to write a download manager that adds info to the files I download: the URL I downloaded it from, the date and time I downloaded it, possibly some more. For this to work I need to add info for more than just photos and videos. I could just save a hidden .XM...
