What is the best way to communicate between different windows of the same application?
Basically, all i'm trying to do here is show a "set up" window from the main window, change some settings,...

I've read around and seen how to load a csv file into a table, but what if the csv contains columns that you want to ignore?
For example, say my csv file contains "col1, col2, col3, col4, col5,...

Never mind. I have now changed the code to return a string instead and free the memory in the method.
string cSetupWindow::GetInput(int ResourceID) {
int len =...

I'm using a method to return a char pointer for retrieving text from a edit control. Everything works nicely, but i'm curious as to the memory management side of things. Here's the code:

How on earth did i miss that??

Hello,
I need to move all files found in a subdirectory into the parent directory. Would i iterate through all files in that subdirectory, gather the file name, fill out a file structure...

Does anyone have any experience with creating meshes "on-the-fly"? I'm trying to create a simple quad for now, but i must be missing something. I've read the theory in how it *should* work and have...

I'm having trouble tracking down a bug. I have a small DX9 app that works in debug mode, but the compiled "release" mode will crash upon startup. I'm not getting any errors or warnings during the...

Wow people are still playing this huh? Cool.
I'll use this opportunity to post an update for the world of Zombie Hordes. Firstly, the game that you've been playing has now become a spin-off to the...
-
Thanks for all the comments. I still have plans to develop this game one day, but for now i am caught up in way too much other stuff (technical term). I did do a slight update to the prototype and...

First up, this is not a paying gig. Sorry.
We're looking for a Sound Engineer to replace the current "footstep" sounds in our mod for the game Thief: The Metal Age. The ones we currently have...

Editor is now bundled with the game.
A word of warning though... any maps you make with this editor will not be compatible with the full release. I have changed the structure and also have a whole...
-
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely change the spec to incorporate some of those.
I must admit that it was many moons ago that i last played an RTS game. I can soon switch the buttons...
-
Yeah i really need to implement a "restart" feature. I've found that i can usually continue with 3 soldiers, but once i'm down to two... well... a lot of civilians end up dead ;)
As for saving, i...

I fully understand the "Don't run EXE files", and i'm also a great believer in it. Especially from places like this. Not saying this is a bad place or anything... but it only takes one clown to ruin...

Greetings,
I have decided to release the prototype version of my very first game "Zombie Hordes". The prototype is written in VB6 and uses DX8. Source code has not been made available so i...
-
In most cases, yes, it is best to create one global connection object when the application is started and release it when the application terminates.
As to the 30 recordsets... are you talking...

I'm assuming you're talking about an array here right?
Dim i as long
For i = 0 to ubound(udtMyWhateverTypeARRAY)
'do stuff
Next i

Private Sub AnotherSubSomewhere()
Dim sErrorMessage As String
sErrorMessage = "Oh crap an error has occured and this is my message"
LogPrint sErrorMessage '<---...
-
The memory address that contains the string is being passed to the sub. This means you can call "LogPrint" and pass it the message you want to log from any procedure within your application....

VB is certainly fast enough for it. The game runs well. The main reason behind using VB is that i only started learning DirectX at the beginning of this year and i am more comfortable with VB than...
-
Heh, I've never played that but it sounds like something i would have enjoyed. This may sound funny, but the whole reason i decided to make this game was due to one of my old favourite games no...
-
Beautiful. Works like a charm.
I'm sure i would have thought of that eventually *cough* ;)
Excellent. Thank you.

I am trying to find the best solution to overcome a problem i have encountered. In the attached picture, you can see on the right side of the screen that all the AI's are starting to bunch up (the...

This is taken from an old Database Analyser app i wrote a while back.
I've removed a lot of the code (it also displayed keys, field sizes, etc) but it should give you an idea of how to go about...

Another way (although i'm sure there is a simpler way)
Dim lHours As Long
Dim sCurrentTime As String
Dim sNewTime As String
sCurrentTime = Format(Time,...

You can print the active sheet with a method called "Printout".

Set xlMyWorkSheet = CreateObject("Excel.Application")...

I've built a 2D tile engine using DX8, but for some unknown reason my tile textures are not aligning properly. They seem to be displaying a small section of the right and bottom sides of the texture,...
-
Thanks, but i found the problem.
I... um... *cough* *cough* forgot to set the texture coordinates.
Yet another instance of beer and coding not mixing well ;)
(and it's written in VB btw)
-
I'm sure this one is an easy one, but i'm not sure what i've done wrong.
Anyway, my textures are appearing as only one colour when using DirectX.
Here's a shot of what i mean:
DX Shot
And...

I've knocked up a quick demo to show how you can use an API call for your timer needs. Sooner or later you'll want to do away with controls like the "Timer Control", so it's never too early to jump...

Ahh crap
Sorry nevermind i figured it out. Just needed the extra parameter.
Why do i always find the answer after i give up ;)

Hello
I'm trying to test if a specific excel workbook (which will always be named "Tax Invoice.xls") is already open as to not create multiple instances. I've been messing around with...
