When running at night, it would be nice to switch on the backlight for a few secs but by tapping the watch, rather than having to lose balance, slow down while trying to fiddle around getting my fat fingers round to the lgiht button. Not that I do much running these days, just that it used to annoy me years ago. I would more likely roll than run the shape I am in now..... if(E_NOINTERFACE == pThat->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown,(void**)&pUnk)) { // I aint no pUnk bitch! }

Why is it that on my work desktop machine, I can drag items from the data sources window onto windows forms with no problem, but on the laptop, as soon as I switch to design mode on the form, the contents of the Data Sources window disappear? One more reason to spend my own money on a MacIntel rather than VS..... if(E_NOINTERFACE == pThat->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown,(void**)&pUnk)) { // I aint no pUnk bitch! }

This is the first release of VS that I won't be buying the Pro version for use at home. They have really hiked prices, which is bad enough, but I think this release was more to satisfy the "Microsoft never release on time" critics than finishing the product. I have it at work, but I am bored already with the performance, the IDE lockups and I don't plan to use it any time soon. In fact, the £400 or so that I would have spent on the upgrade is going towards a Powerbook. if(E_NOINTERFACE == pThat->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown,(void**)&pUnk)) { // I aint no pUnk bitch! }

I reported it as a bug, and MS closed it saying that it was fixed. Try the workaround in the report, and see if it works for you. It only works every now and again now, I have given up using the beta for the moment, as the bug makes it unusable.

I don't have premier to hand, but I do recall how this drove me round the twist trying to work out why it was happening, even with the help files. When you have put the effect on, you have to bring up the monitor window to adjust its properties. Make sure that you select the effect in the timeline. In the Effect controls window, you should now see a mini timeline. In the effect controls window, in the two tracks, you can now put the mouse over the track in the dark area by the effects area. The cursor should change to a 3 sided box with a double headed arrow on it. Holding the mouse should put change the right habnd output pane into a kind of preview, now slide the mouse back and forward until you see the frames change. Do the same with the other track, until you are happy, you can slide the arrow at the bottom (pointing up) to preview the final effect. This sounds a bit vague, but I have not used premier for a few months (moved job) but when you start sliding the tracks back and forward it will be obvious what to do, just keep using the preview slider. Hope this helps. Steve. if(E_NOINTERFACE == pThat->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown,(void**)&pUnk)) { // I aint no pUnk bitch! }

Windows Media Encoder does what you want, with the bonus of being able to capture an audio stream into the file at the same time. It encodes as wmv format, but this could easily be converted to AVI if you want, although the smaller format of wmv is all I have ever needed.

That is exactly the one I was thinking about. Once again the collective thought of Codeproject beats Google hands down. Cheers, SteveH.

Bet that got your attention! A while back someone posted a link to some Microsoft UK page, where they could buy MS servers for Development only, for far less than the retail price. I want to play with the Rights management services, but need a 2k3 server, so this would be right up my street, but I can't find the page. Can anyone help? I am sure that it is not the Operating Systems version of MSDN that i am thinking of either.

CDC::TextOut() or any of the other variants. For the resizing you will have to hit test the mouse click against the list of items you draw, if it is within your hit test bounds then you have a hit and move to editing mode for the item. Store the details that you use to draw the item, and as the mouse moves, erase the item as it was, quick way to do it is via an XOR drawing operation. Draw the new item at the new position. On mouse up, commit the new positions to the store. You will have to worry about which item to select on the hit test. Think of each item being created as being on a stack, hit-test working down the stack. If two items are possible hits, then it is the more newly created (ie on top) item that will be selected. then you will have to do a move to back, bring to front mechanism, but that is simple.
