sorry I don't know what do you mean by "you're laptop sux"...
secondly my display card is "Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family" with graphics accelerator... my supervisor is working on wondows vista and I'm working on win xp media center..
may this affect our problem???

Ouch! This isn't a good card to use with intensive graphics. Generally, you want a bit more "oomph" than this.

These are know to have numerous issues even though intel tends to talk up their capabilities. If you can, get access to a hardy desktop machine with a solid dedicated gpu.

Hello,
I am new to DirectX.I didn't know about mesh picking in directx.
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Game/Q_21257512.html[^]
I referred above site.But this code not performing mesh picking.When I pick cube mesh using mouse, I need to highlight selected part triangle. How to do it? Please anyone help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm just about to look at mesh-picking myself, so when i work it out, I'll post my findings.
Gavin.

Well i got the mesh-picking working. But as i understand it, if you want to pick primitives, you have to write your own collision code, accessing the meshes vert collection. I was going to work it out until i decided that it would be easier to just break my terrain down into meshes. So until i have a more specific need to pick primitives, you're on your own.

Hai Gavin W,
I tried mesh picking using airplane.x file.I render the airplane in wireframe(in drawmesh function).I call below MeshPick function in Mouse down function.
private bool MeshPick(Mesh mesh, int x, int y)
{
Vector3 v3Near = new Vector3(x, y, 0);
Vector3 v3Far = new Vector3(x, y, 1);
IntersectInformation closestHit;
v3Near.Unproject(device.Viewport,device.Transform.Projection,
device.Transform.View, device.Transform.World);
v3Far.Unproject(device.Viewport, device.Transform.Projection,device.Transform.View,device.Transform.World);
v3Far.Subtract(v3Near);
if (mesh.Intersect(v3Near, v3Far, out closestHit))
{
return true;
}
else
return false;
}
How to get intersected vertices and how to Highlight intersected triangle? I have no idea? Please help me.Thanks in advance.

Hai,
I am beginner in the development of filters using DirectX.We are in the process of developing codecs for mpeg2/mpeg4. May i know how we can find the stream type whether it is a audio stream, video stream or an data stream using FOURCC.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Everyone
Can someone please assist me with the following : I have attached a basic paint app. The zooming works fine, but the rulers disappear when I scroll horizontally or vertically. I need the rulers to stay fixed like for example MS Word's rulers.
If anyone would be so kind as to take a look, I can mail you the app.
Thank you very much
|

Draw the rulers outside of the area you draw the image in, so they are not affected by the zoom action.

Hi,
I have a simple DirectX app which raises a NullReferenceException when i exit the app, the exception is raised at the vDevice.Clear(...) instruction. What i don't understand is how that code can even be reached when i have < if (vDevice != null) > enclosing it. This seems illogical to me.
if (vDevice != null)
{
// Render DirectX components
vDevice.Clear(ClearFlags.Target | ClearFlags.ZBuffer, Color.SlateGray, 1.0F, 0);
vDevice.BeginScene();
...
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
Gavin
PS. Oh and hi everyone, this is actually my first post, I'm studying 3D Animation but enjoy fiddling with C#/directx in my own time.

vDevice is null?

My debugging skills are probably not very developed, but yes, that's what it looks like to me. Funny thing is, now it doesn't throw that exception in windowed mode, but if i start in fullscreen mode the exception will be thrown. It looks like at the breakpoint (at the vDevice.Clear instruction) -- that's where the yellow arrow is ! -- the device, textures and VertexBuffers are all disposed, as should be the case during termination. But still, the code logic says that the vDevice.Clear instruction wont be reached if vDevice == null.
I now think that the yellow arrow indicates the next instruction to be executed, as indicated by it's tooltip. Though it is the vDevice.Clear() line that is highlighted in yellow and has the Exception Helper attached. I consider the following possibilites :
1. The device is being disposed after the (device != null) test and before the next instruction. That seems ridiculous to me, and would render code logic breakable.
2. The (device != null) test is not working as i expect. Is there something i've forgotten about null comparisons.
3. The device still exists, but it is the device.Clear method that is raising the Exception because although the device exists, it is disposed and has no PresentParams.
Just typing this 3rd option, im thinking that's the case. And I'll try either setting device=null after it is disposed or setting an appState=suspended after device is disposed and test the appState instead.

Have you tried a try/catch and setting a breakpoint in the catch so you can see what is null ? Perhaps the method itself can throw that exception ?

I think you're right ! I think it is the method itself that is raising the exception. I wasn't thinking properly about the Device still existing while being disposed, which would raise an Exception. Clearly I have to properly handle a lost device, which I haven't been able to do properly.
Thanks guys

You should not be checking whether the device is null. Instead, you should be checking whether the device has been disposed or not.

I want to convert an RGB Image To YCrCb Image. every site i looked at, i just found the formulas to get Y,Cr,Cb values for corresponding RGB values. now what should i do with these Y,cr,Cb values to get the Resultant Image... ???

repeat them for every x,y of the image.

Y = 0.299 * R + 0.587 * G + 0.114 * B;
Cr = 0.701 * R - 0.587 * G - 0.114 * B
Cb = -0.299 * R - 0.587 * G + 0.886 * B

Hello
Is there anyone out there proficient in coding for eg..Multiclipboard..Vectorizing..Copy/Paste Vectors..realtime simulations/rendering ..capable with emf/emf/svg/dxf etc?
Ability to create eg 'Contour' feature like in coreldraw ?
If there are coders interested , with such capabilities, Im needing 2 for some part time work,perhaps fulltime.
Let me know
Thanks

hmmmm.... and for how long is this part time or perhaps full time work?

Hello
To the correct person/persons..its perhaps for the next 10-15 years if fulltime.
parttime- it is just for various small projects.
Finding good coders is not simple,and trust me..we have tried some.Most are gone into the gaming industry where pay is high..so, nobody can fault them for that...but we dont have those $multi million budgets..so, finding reasonable coders is in a word 'difficult'.
It would suit someone wishing to grow with a co...and, we do have that potential.
Are you the mice in the ceiling?? seeing as I mentioned tomorrows..lol

nope, but as being often referred to as a has-been drip under pressure (expert) in the field, I tend to be asked to predict the future at least once a week. Even though my predictions are sometimes spot-on, I still make fun of the process. Predicting the future is a guessing game, and no matter how educated the guess, it is still just a guess.

yowza, forgive my surprise, the calls here are usually, "write a complete autocad program in 3 days, part time work, here's $10 if you get it done, and a bonus $5 if you get it done early."

not all, some go to the military...
