My goal is to create a program that will take an AVI file as input and then do whatever is necessary to burn it to a DVD. Currently, I use three separate programs to accomplish this. The first tool requires me to convert it from an AVI file to an MPEG. The second tool takes that MPEG and creates DVD files (a VIDEO_TS folder, with a few ...

I have a top-level Qt widget with the FramelessWindowHint flag and the WA_TranslucentBackground attribute set. It has several children, each of which draws an image on it. They are not in a layout.

I am running Windows XP on an Intel x86 machine and I got an error in the instruction at memory location 0x00000001. I am not worried about debugging the error, but I was interested to know what instructions would generally be located at the very begging of memory. The only processors I have written low-level code for are PIC microc...
We've got several web-based applications that are launched from our ERP system (SAP R/3 in this case, but since we're using ShellExec, I don't consider this a SAP issue). The problem is that we can either set the IE to "open every URL passed from the ERP system in a new window" or to "reuse any one of the existing IE windows" (same probl...
I need some tool to display text containing ANSI codes correctly on Windows. No full support needed, but at least coloring/bold is a must. Reason: My logger/debug module produce nicely rendered rich output with important sections colored using ANSI codes. This helps a lot when debugging on the serial terminal, but if I dump the debug to...

I have small app with a Window that is listening for the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and returning FALSE - which should tell Windows that I don't want it to shutdown (see this MSDN link). What I have found is that even though I am asking Windows to not shutdown, and Windows is itself not shutting down, it is still sending the WM_ENDSES...
Years ago, in my long lost copy of Charles Petzold's Windows 3.0 Programming book, there was a magic COLORREF or RGB value documented that you could use to check whether you should draw text in a light colour or a dark colour. E.g. if the background colour was below this value, then use black text, if it was higher, use white text. Doe...
