Re: Has Microsoft exposed Direct3D 10 on COM? - COM Discussion Boards

If so, where could I find a list of the class object GUIDS?

Is it April 1st again already? Is Twitter down? Did you pick a bad day to stop smoking crack?

WTF dude? WTF | :WTF:

No it's not April 1st, I don't give a toss about Twitter and I've never taken drugs in my life. Now that that is out of the way, could you please give me a straight answer?

Thanks in advance.

Sure. But you don't seem very productive if in 4 hours you couldn't manage to do this[^]

Good luck. It seems you will need it. Beer | [beer]

Wow! That was really helpful! I can't believe I didn't think of Googling practically every keyword I could think of regarding this issue before trying my luck on the COM forum on Code Project. I mean I would have found numerous articles listing the GUID for the Direct3D 9 COM interface if I'd just done this. Perhaps I would have had as many useful results for Direct 3D 10....but maybe not.

As for what I've done for the last 4 hours...I was out. It's 22.40 where I'm posting from. Yes, it's amazing. People living outside America actually HAVE computers....and even....wait for it...INTERNET connectivity!

Lose the attitude bro...you might make some friends.

Love those GenX excuses. Friends like that I don't need or want, but thanks for the offer.

I'm guessing you didn't think of clicking on the first result of my supplied search which is the Microsoft DirectX Developer Center because that certainly would not be the place to go to find developer information for DirectX 10.

Keep your attitude bro, it will continue to serve you well.

Actually, it's not the best place to go as luck would have it. If you had actually followed the link and scouted around a bit, (again, something I did before coming to Code Project) you would have found that the MSDN DirectX 10 forum has actually been moved to the XNA forums. There are a couple of guys there that know a sh*t load about DirectX 10 but not a helluva lot about COM because they generally only code in C++. My meagre brain power thought to itself, "Hmmmm....I wonder where I could find out about which MS technologies have been exposed as COM libraries." Well there is no MSDN forum for COM, so the mice in my brain kicked it up a gear on the spinwheel and I thought, "Perhaps, there will be some helpful people on the COM board at Code Project." And voila, you and I met and began our beautiful friendship! Rose | [Rose]

PS. If by GenX you're referring to Generation X, you do know that it started in '61 and ended '81 right? That being the case, how old ARE you old timer?

I have just started reading this forum and hoped to find some helpful guys here. However, the first thread that I read is just some a***hole trying to be clever by withholding information that could be useful. Why do people do this? Was it there parents that kept their toys from them when they were young? Or is it because they have not had enough sex in their lives that they get off on people trying to do a decent days work? Us normal people who have lives away from the screen that retards like LedPenisMike wake up 2 hours early in the morning to look at (loosing their personality sleep if I might add) occasionally need some help. But when we meet scum like this, we want to pack up our bags and leave the computer science field all together. I hope there are some helpful people on this forum.
Wish me luck that I never come across PenisMike again.

Blue skies to all...

You spent more time typing that bullshit in than it would have taken you to click your mouse 5 times starting from the link I provided to get to DirectX 10 Core Interfaces Documentation[^]

Tried to counter the -1's you've got there mike, to be honest I would have answered the same, if not worse.

wow. so you knew about it, and he didn't, and that makes him an a**hole? Isn't the point of a help/discussion forum to be a primary resource for information? Wouldn't redirecting everyone to Google (which is obviously a kitchen sink solution, they even index this site[^]) totally missing the point?

(note that this is constructive criticism for you)

It's far from constructive.

I'll explain, firstly he was directed to google, he didn't have to come back and post quirpy sarcastic and offensive remarks, he could have reclarified his question or asked for more specific direction politely, his tone made him an a**hole, not the fact that someone knew the answer.

bulg wrote:

The answer is no. It is not a primary resource of information. Documentation and research is.

bulg wrote:

Google indexes a couple of billion (I think 140 Billion, to put that into perspective that is 140,000,000,000) websites, so indexed codeproject isn't special. What's less special is that it come's up when you type the exact URL into google's search.

Remember, no one gets paid to answer your questions, don't expect newspaper articles or extremely lengthy responses to your query, and if you get a response you don't like then don't make yourself look like an a**hole.

You picking up what I'm throwing down here yet??

I can't tell if you're talking about ledmike's 1st post or klempie's second post Smile | :)

And my bad on the point of a help/discussion forum. What is the purpose? And please specify actual or intended purpose, if you bother to answer at all Smile | :)

See there you go again, not only acting as if you're entitled to a response but you're trying to set guidelines out for me to follow as well.

The point of a forum is to get help on a specific problem, not something broad.

And I'm referring to klempie's posts and replies, each and every one of them.

Nevermind he went to the lounge and asked for people to report Led Mike's posts' as abusive, which in itself raises the level of douchebaggotry to an entirely new level.

I actually didn't expect you to respond, and I don't know how you can judge sarcasm in such straightforward text, especially since I used so many smilies, and made it clear that my previous post was an attempt at a constructive discourse, instead of what precedes it. I'll withhold them this time, since it is not effective.

Also, if you want to indulge me yet again, was Klempie's first post & question overly broad? It seems kinda specific to me (re:he's looking for a reference that someone may have found useful in the past, for a specific combination of technologies, COM & DX10).

I would humor you, but then again no. Just clicked that you're the same troll in the php lounge who needs help producing a site that's about, what was it again, "anarchy,fun,viruses etc etc"? Glad to see you dropped the 1337 txt spek.
