Hi Hugo,
sounds like a good idea(esp. the CP part). I'm not one of those guys who extensively use VS.NET at work. But I have written a few articles on Office addins and as far addins still use IDTExtensibility2 and stuff.
I'd be interested to know what language you are thinking of implementing it? I'd like to write a VS.NET addin as an ATL/C++ project, that also is updatable etc i.e. as per CP guidelines.
Hush,hush...
thought I heard you call my name now.

im trying to to do a language module to get synonyms of an input string.
And have decided upon using the dictionary provided by word.as creating an efficient dictionary itself seems like reinventingthe wheel.
i came upon the msth_am.lex and msth32.ll files
along with couple others too
which i believe is used by the word application for its thesaurus /spell check and other lex functions.[this too is only an assumption]
there seem to be functions exposed like
ThesaurusCheck
and
ThesaurusGetString
could anyone provide me inputs on -
1.how to use these functions?
2.is there any more efficient/simpler method to acces the word thesraus function
though i dont sem to be getting much inputs from else where including microsoft
open to any suggestions

First of all, you don't need DirectX for that. VFW does it just fine.
The DirectX SDK comes with WIN32 samples. Just pick one up (vidclip for instance).
Third solution : WindowsMedia player SDK.

There's only one dll : gdiplus.dll [^](either in your own app directory, or in system32). Download the platform SDK. The reference doc is MSDN, of course. MSDN info page here[^].

Hi Stephane Rodriguez
Thanx for ur reply. Ihae downloaded this GDI+ RTM earlier. I need to start writing applications using GDI+ for which i need to download the necessary header files and the library files too. I tried to open the link that you had specified for msdn site. I am not able to open that also. Can you please help me with this problem.

I don't know what might be wrong. I've just tried the links and everything went fine.
The GDI RTM package is only the gdiplus.dll file.
You need the headers, and .lib. Those are found with the Platform SDK core services[^].
Of course, you must enable ActiveX control in IE (required by the platform SDK update tool).

Would programming an Office addin without using Comaddins - i.e. using macros and C++ code be an interesting topic?

Soory, didn't see your post earlier. But, yes,I'm planning to write something that is a cross between a C++ COM addin, whose activation and deactivation and other stuff is rigged up to support VBScript macros. Did a project where I had to make an Outlook addin compliant with older 97/98, and the implementation is kind of interesting. So I wrote a single addin which works with everything from 97/98 to OutlookXP.

I'd love to see this.
The latest DirectShow seems to have an "MSVidCtl" control, but (from my understanding) it seems to expose TV tuner, DVD and file playback functionality only.
I simply want a scriptable control that displays a video being fed from my card's Composite or SVideo input. At this point I have my doubts MSVidCtl can even expose these inputs.
I'd convert AMCAP.EXE myself into some scriptable component (or just the relevant parts, as I don't care about video-capturing--I just want to *show* a live feed, and embed this into a local HTML file). Unfortunately my ATL/COM knowledge is severely limited at this point...

A good article would be how to intercept the LVN_GETDISPINFO notification message
to create a virtual listview in C#. Especially if someone can get this to work with
the listview class methods, properties, and events.

Because i should develop a FTP software.
I did not want to use interrelated MFC class.
So i will use FTP SDK APIs,like these functions FtpFindFirstFile() etc.
But i have little experience about it.
I am only a programmer!
But i do my best to be a excellent programmer at all times!

Use WindowStation and Desktop objects, they provide virtual window stations and desktops process spaces that WILL NOT be seen from the (interactive) Task Manager.
For more info, lookup "winsta0" in MSDN.
sometimes it helps to look at the IL generated code

;PDirectX SDK Document might be very useful for you. And also, I think the best teacher is the Code itself. I think if you want to do a good game programmer, you should read more code and write more code.

Our company is providing a large solution for Vessel Trafic Monitoring. The part of this project is Vessel Traffic System Database (VTSDB). Most of harbours already have their own databases, so we should be ready for the integration. The first part is creating wrappers to map their tables to VTSDB, but we also want to provide access to the external DB via VTSDB interface. For now i'm looking for the ideas of designing such solution. Do you know where can I find articles describing similar problems.
Thanks.

Have you looked at ADO.NET? OLE DB? ODBC? All of them can be considered unified DB access.
