afaik you have to manually build a graph.

For playback, open with file reader, connect to AVI Splitter, then chose the correct vid stream pin. connect that to a colour space converter(optional), then to a video renderer.

< LAME ASCII DIAGRAM >

         |  AVI   |---o wrong vid stream  
|FILE|-->|SPLITTER|---o--------------------->|CLR CoNV|--->|RENDERER|
         |        |---o wrong vid stream

And what if the 2 clips have the same type, use the same filters? Can I disconnect the first filesource-filter after completion and connect another one to the same avi-splitter?

I'm confused. Are you talking about two streams in the same file, or two streams in two files (e.g. standard AVI)?

If you're talking about 1 stream per file, yes I believe you can disconnect then reconnect, but I think it's a bit involved. the microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.video newsgroup had a couple of threads about it a while ago, I suggest groups.google.com and searching that ng for "reconnect" or something.

If you are talking about 2 streams in 1 file, you would use 1 filesource and chose a pin from the avi splitter depending on which file you wanted.

ADO question

4-Jun-02 4:39

I have noticed that most ADO examples including all MSDN examples use an import to import msado15.dll..

Although importing simplifies the task and gives much more easier to use methods, I was wondering whether this method is robust enough? is the ado dll available on all Windows operating system guaranteed to be msado15.dll or does the name change depending on the version?

In fact, this is the stupid #import clause in VC 6.0 that needs a file and then gets its typelibrary and then gets th GUIDs. Is it robust ? Well, at runtime, yes, becase what's used is the typelibrary, but at compile time you can have problems, like the "Program Files" folder, in the Portuguese version of Windows is the "Arquivos de Programas"

Idea of How to Create Power Point looks like apps

Hi, I want to get an idea on how to create the Slide that is similar to the Power Point.
I believe it uses the ole object for each slide. I am also looking for the solution on how to display the slide in full blown(Full Screen) like power point. Is there any particular API called? For the text fields in the Power point ( where you type the text for display) is that also the ole object? Please let me know. I have been looking for the solution to this feature for a while. If there is a good suggestion or code sample will be helpful. What I am trying to acomplish is to create an apps similar to Power Point. Instead of running the slide automatically or by pussing the down button, I try to let the user to have the whole control and they can jump and display from slide to slide by clicking just the slide. In other word the user insterface will be a slide like you see in the power point slide window.

Thanks for your help

Displaying the slide in Full screen is not really hard. Just create a special window class without border and frames that displays full screen, and you got it. If you want a source code for this, just look the code for the screensaver app sample in the MSDN.

I do not know enough to help you on the other topics (BTW, it _IS_ possible to pass to next slide in Power Point just by clicking on it (I know some of my professor used to take their mouse to get a "remote controled Power Point" before the system which allows to do it through infrared begun to appear)).

Process Handle given Process ID

This may be something simple, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know of a way to get a handle to a process if I know the process ID? What I am trying to do is see if the process is still active by calling GetExitCodeProcess. I am getting the PID by enumerating the processes that are running at a certain time. Technically I could just run through all the running processes everytime I wanted to know if the process was running and compare PIDs, but that seems like overkill. It would be much simpler just to get the handle once, and check at anytime in the future using GetExitCodeProcess.

Thanks,
Mike

Try
HANDLE OpenProcess(DWORD dwDesiredAccess, // access flag
BOOL bInheritHandle, // handle inheritance option
DWORD dwProcessId // process identifier
);

After getting the drives from GetLogicalDriveStrings, you need to use GetDriveType and test if the return value = DRIVE_CDROM.

Like it or not, I'm right.

linked Multi dialog based MFC app

Hello,

I have to develop a dialog based MFC app in which several dialogs are linked using next/previous buttons, like in all those install apps.
As i dont have much time to do this, and as i havent used C++ in 3 years, i was wondering if a framework, or even some sample source code for such an app existed somewhere.

Thank you for your time. Smile | :)

you want to look at CPropertySheet and CPropertyPage..
basicly you use the resource editor to create dialogs, but instead of creating dialogs you create Property Pages (set to child instead of popup).. you create these for each of the pages you need.

then to put it all together you do:

CPropertySheet MySheet("This is my installer");
CMyPage1 page1;
CMyPage2 page2;
...
CMyPageN pageN;

MySheet.AddPage(&page1);
MySheet.AddPage(&page2);
...
MySheet.AddPage(&pageN);

MySheet.SetWizardMode();
MySheet.m_psh.dwFlags |= PSH_NOAPPLYNOW; // disables the 'apply' button
// display the form and wait for the finish button
if (MySheet.DoModal() == ID_WIZFINISH)
{ AfxMessageBox("woop!"); }

the CMyPage1,2,3 are the classes you created from your dialogs(proppages)

in your first page you need

BOOL CMyPage1::OnSetActive() 
{
   CPropertySheet* psheet = (CPropertySheet*) GetParent();   
   psheet->SetWizardButtons(PSWIZB_NEXT); // only have a next button on first page
   return CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
}

in your middle pages you need

BOOL CMyPage2::OnSetActive() 
{
	CPropertySheet* psheet = (CPropertySheet*) GetParent();   
	psheet->SetWizardButtons(PSWIZB_BACK | PSWIZB_NEXT); // have next and back on middle pages
	return CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
}

in your last page you need

BOOL CMyPageN::OnSetActive() 
{
	CPropertySheet* psheet = (CPropertySheet*) GetParent();   
	psheet->SetWizardButtons(PSWIZB_BACK | PSWIZB_FINISH); // have back and finish on last page
	return CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
}

theres enough code to get you started.. if you can't get there from this then you prolly need to read a book or somethin.. there are examples on this stuff in the articles on here..

As your already mentioned this does not work on Win2k and above.
But there are some hacks (i.e. hooks, what a nice play on words Wink | ;)

) here at codeproject.
Maybe someone knows a direct link, I don't find the article right now.
