I have acutaly access to an closed beta of an online application developed with silverlight 5. Within there's a feature, showing some 3D scenes. There have been used XNA for the 3D. From a windows-pc all work fine. But when I test it from an Mac with OSX the Silverlight-App works fine, too. But not the 3D feature. In upper left corner there's a information showing: "Render Mode: Unavailable" and "Reason: "Not3DCapable".
So I pushed this example to my IIS. This time from Windows all is fine but when trying to access from OSX (Firefox) it starts to load Silverlight but after showing 100% nothing happens. The scene is not shown.
Does anyone has any clue, what to do to support mac?
Unfortunately I found some other websites like this Blog (see the 3. FAQ) and this Blog (see comments) whose say the same: 3D doesn't work on mac.
Sadly Microsoft seems to keep this fact officially secret. Found this Page where I had expected to read something like "3D not supported". Isn't this sad? I thought Silverlight should be platform independent? I hope they will change their mind and add a support for OpenGL or something like that.

I'm from Ukraine, so I immediately apologize for my crooked English. I got one very incomprehensible problem with which I can not figure it out. I have created a mobile application for Android and IOS. Absolutely normal application. I tested it on the emulator on several phones. But on one of them, the app didn't look like itself. For some reason it became dark and looked strange (I attached the screenshots). The normal version is white-green, this version was dark. I can't figure out what is the reason. Immediately I will say that the phone is normal and the light theme is enabled on it, the phone has standard settings. And everything else on this phone except this application is displayed normally. Please tell me what is the reason
I tried to change the themes and settings of the phone, and found out that the problem is definitely not in them

I followed Mike Brind's guide webimage helper with jcrop and it works great on a pc but on a phone with touch it does nothing. You can still see the crop outline but cannot do anything with it. I checked and it is supposed to support touch and going to deep liquid's website it does work on my phone. Anyone know of a reason it may not work on my site?
I am even using all the demo files available from deep liquid and it still does not work with touch.
I'm the author of a Windows application that's been around for years. The app uses the wxWidgets UI library. For the newest version, we upgraded to the Microsoft c++ compiler in Studio 10 and to the latest Windows SDK library. We did not change much else in the app. Now, several users have reported that after a period of time running the app, the menus go crazy. All of the users reporting the problem are running on Windows XP. The menus either get huge, filling the screen, and have a giant italic font with strikethroughs. Or they get really small, so that the only thing shown are up and down arrows, suggesting the rendering code thinks the screen real estate is too small to display anything else.
You can find example screen shots here:
Once the menus go crazy, all menus are affected, except the standard Windows and MDI menus. The only way to recover is to restart the app.
The code in the app and wxWidgits is a thin layer on top of the standard Windows API. Once the menus are created, afaik Windows manages the rendering.
Any ideas what's going wrong?
The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is now available. It is known that Silverlight will not run in metrostylemode, but with legacy/desktopmode it is working?
Anything unusual to keep in mind?
Are you able to access Silverlight applications?
(sorry for my bad english)
I have an medium sized SL5 LOB RIA Services app that runs OOB and it is working fine on windows 8 CP. The only thing that did not worked as I expected is that the on-screen keyboard do not show when I enter a text field. probably there is a way to p/invoke this but it would be nice if this happens by default.
I don't think there was anything new posted to that effect (but then the story was already explained in Dev Preview). It basically works the way you describe in Beta.
Apparently you can add a meta tag which causes the metro browser to prompt the user, but I have not yet tested.

I know that we can take screen shot of an App during runtime. In iOS we can use UIGraphicsBeginImageContext to get the screen shot. We can also do the same in Android.
But is it possible with Blackberry and Windows 7 Mobile OS?
A simple search for "blackberry screenshot" on stackoverflow returned this pretty straightforward answer:
Taking screenshot of the current screen in BlackBerry
And a search for "windows-phone screenshot" yields this:
Windows Phone 7 - Capture Screen
If what you need is for capture a screenshot of your own Windows Phone app, then this post from Jeff Wilcox will come in handy!
It looks like there is a function for that in Display. Check out the SDK reference.
There are a couple of Homebrew tools you can use to take screenshots on WP7 here and here however you wont be able to use these programatically. You can also something along the lines of Mark Artega or Jeff Wilcox
There is no Silverlight VisualBrush support for WP7 and no global Screenshot functionality on WP7 Mango, but writablebitmap.
There is a very usefull way by using default Microsoft Emulator integrated WP7 Screenshot Tool
or use third party methods.
If you are familar with XNA Framework, there you can access to the screen. Using Multithreading, you can do your screenshots that way. If never used the last app because I feel fine using Microsofts Emulator Screenshot button to save my png images.
After you can stitch it together using different ways.
