How to get key input with a C# panel?
|
I noticed that there are no key events for a panel such as OnKeyDown() and OnKeyUp(). Is it possible to make a user control of a panel that would have the events? Also, I'd need the double buffer property too. I'm suprised the panel is a bit... |

Is C# good enough for system utility programming
|
I have a large interest in systems programming, such as low-level utility programs. C++ seems like an obvious choice, but I've also enjoyed .NET for GUI development, etc. Is the new C++/CLI better than C# for this kind of work? I'm still doubting C#... |

C# and MCI
|
Hi, I'm curious if Microsoft made a MCI wrapper yet for .NET 2.0. The goal is to play multiple sounds at once and MCI was helpful in the past using C++. Is my only choice to pinvoke a certain dll? |

C++/CLI instead of the Win32 API?
|
With a large background on software development, I have been noticing that C++/CLI removes most of the need to program directly in the Win32 API. I like it since it's C++ and the best of C# together, and sure makes C++ applications web-enabled &... |

Netbeans 5.0 - Getting a console window to open?
|
I got Netbeans 5.0 set up to most of my preferences. The last one is to get the console window to open without text showing up in the debug window. Is there a way to do this? |

DirectDraw: 16-bit RGB problem
|
The goal of this application is to draw a background rect with a cornflowerblue color. This should be a light blue-gray color with RGB values of 100, 149, 237. On execution, the color looks like a dim blue-gray color. I don't see why this is. Any... |

VC++ 2005 Standard intellisense problem
|
I don't know if it's just me or not, but when I program, the intellisense basically looses track of what function I am in 30% of the time, and thus intellisense stops completely. It takes a few seconds for it to realize I'm in Render(), for example,... |

Your thoughts on "Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX, 2nd edition"
|
This book seems up my alley, but there seems to be some mixed reviews about the first edition. Have you read the 2nd edition? Is it good enough for beginners to start with? The most I've done with DirectX is some 2d games although it was in managed c... |

Meshes and 3ds files

Is it possible to load in .3ds mesh files into a D3D program? My 3d modeler really wishes to know since he had trouble with .X files in the past. |

What makes C++ so powerful?

I agree with him partially but his response reminds me of an unsocial brat. I'm not suprised his sad life is wasted here on a daily basis. Anyway, I'm thankful that I don't have to deal with it any longer due to a new focus that's more realistic... |

Oluseyi, I'm suprised you're still here after all these years, and that you still have time to chat with us beginners! Half the time I see you quoting noobs and attack them. Maybe you should open a new board section called Rants. You'd fit perfect th... |

What makes C++ so powerful?
|
I'll add some answers as of why it's powerful:
1) It's a middle-level language, meaning it has the best of high-level languages with the control and flexibility of assembly language. New languages are judge with C++. Most algorithms & examples (ev... |

Is C# good enough for system utility programming
|
Wasn't there a recent article saying that Vista moved back to C++? Regardless, I have a friend at MS who knows about that. I remember the TV news talking about MS's new .NET security, but that was before this. Anyhoo, thanks, I'll stay with C++ for t... |

C# and MCI

System.Media.SoundPlayer uses WinMM, not MCI. For example, I tried a sample application and SoundPlayer can only play one sound at a time. Does anyone have any insight on this? I need multiple sounds to be played at once, and it's... |

What to learn
|
You have a lot of choices, but just start programming. You can begin with C++ since it is a general & well used language, freely download Visual C++ 2005 Express (google), and learn C++ at www.functionx.com. |

What to learn
|
Games are a specialized type of software. If you haven't built basic software programs such as Notepad, database management programs, etc., I'd suggest doing that first then pick up on games. If you plan to go pro, C++ is a good starting point.... |

C++/CLI instead of the Win32 API?

Quote:No, because it requires the .NET Framework, which a significant number of machines still don't have (particularly 2.0).
Normally any professional company would include the required runtimes for distribution, so this point is invalid.

Newbie questions - AWT vs Swing

Dead? HAHAHAHAHA! Considering all the pre-existing programs out there (10 years) to modify & upgrade from time to time, obviously a clear understanding of AWT is important. If you don't know how to use AWT, it is difficult to use Swing effectively. D... |
