I have this code that I found, but I keep getting a Nullreference error.

Have you seen this, here on CP: DirectX.Capture Class Library By Brian Low A .NET class library for capturing video and audio to AVI files. http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/directxcapture.asp[^] and DirectX Video Stream and frame capture By hpAng A library that can capture video stream and frame together http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/DirXVidStrm.asp[^]

Yeah, I know that. But I read the question to be, how to tell how something WAS shut down, not how to tell that something is BEING shut down. So, a child dialog is closed, and the parent works out why. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

I am recreating a Windows Explorer control. I am stuck at making the selected column (when in details view) have a different color. I was hoping that maybe I could paint the rectangle when the packground was painted and the items would still paint alright. I am just trying about anything I can think of or find close on the internet.

Found how to do it. Friend Const LVM_SETSELECTEDCOLUMN As Integer = (LVM_FIRST + 140) SendMessage(lstView.Handle, Win32.WindowsMessages.LVM_SETSELECTEDCOLUMN, ColumnIndex, 0) lstview.invalidate()
