Recently I’ve posted an article at CodeGuru about Implementing Active Script Site with ATL. In that article I’ve explained basic principles of Active Script hosting and implementation details using Active Templates Library. One of the questions I’ve been asked about the article was: “What is Microsoft Script Control and what is the difference between implementing […]

This article demonstrates in practice how to compute face and vertex normals to achieve flat and smooth shading using OpenGL. Definitions In geometry, a vector is an object which defines a direction and a norm. It is usually symbolized by an arrow pointing in the vector direction ; the length of the arrow giving the […]

Description: In the previous article https://www.codeguru.com/multimedia/scope_input_sound_class.shtml we talked about the SoundIn class which was provided to interface a sound card for input signal. The idea is now to create a class for an Output sound . The Sound Output class which is provided now, to be used as a generator, is very similar to the […]

Yet, another method to reposition/resize child windows within their parent framework. Although the subject received a lot of attention, including this web site, I invite you to look at the following method as it presents certain advantages over the others I already know.
