#define GetRandom(min, max) ((rand() % (int)(((max) + 1) - (min))) + (min)) //get a random number between min and max Remember something like srand(GetTickCount()); first... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Yes. Set your break-point. Then press the ALT-F9 key to open up the BreakPoints watch window. Select the DATA tab. You'll now have the ability to set an expression based on a value. If you click on the ADVANCE button on that data tab, you can get really fancy. D.

It's an MPEG2 file, but i'm decoding the file myself.

You might want search MSDN there is an old sample program on using DIBs. What the program does is allow you to move the cursor over a window a capture it to a DIB. If you search for a screen/windows capture program here or on the web you should be able to find additional examples. Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!

I'm using Visual studio .Net now, but I'm pretty sure this is also available in VC6. Under project settings for C/C++ there is an output file section where you can specify to have it output an assembly source listing when building your project. - Anatari

Be aware that strtok is destructive to the original string

Thankyou. Do you know how i add a filter to IFilterGraph if i only know the name of the filter? -Rune Svendsen

Thankyou i'll try that. But do you know if there's a way to enumerate all the available filters on the current machine? -Rune Svendsen

Unfortunately not. I've checked, there's no MPEG2 decoder present as a vcm driver.

Already tried that, didn't work :( thanks anyway man.

I believe the server and client are out sync. Use a diagram to plot your algorithm and make sure the server sends the exact size and the exact data; and the client receives the correct size and read the exact data. Kuphryn

It's #define SEND_BUFFER_SIZE 8192; it's the ; that made the errors, thanks to both of you.

Take a look at the GetNumberFormat in the MSDN. Here's a quote: "The GetNumberFormat function formats a number string as a number string customized for a specified locale." So you can use regular sprintf to format the number as a string, and then format that string to the specified locale. Chris Richardson
