HAHAHAH, that has to be one of the coolest implementations i have heard of yet

i knew i could justify getting laser tag again somehow, haha

I experienced the same issue as the original post: test app distributed with the lib worked, but the whiteboard app (and possibly others) fails to launch and asks if the Wiimote is connected.

Hardware: HP Compaq 6720S laptop running Windows Vista.

I can confirm that the code fix mentioned in the original post solved the issue.
Many thanks atomriot!

Interestingly, on my Dell Latitude D800 laptop running Windows 2000, the whiteboard app runs just fine unmodified.

can someone upload the wiimote.cs file modified to work without blue soleil. I don't have visual + and am not very good at modifying things like this. I was wondering if someone could upload this file or all files need to rapidshare.
Thanks,
harry

Hey,
i had the same problem atomriot described. when i changed the code in the multipointgrid app it worked fine!
so after that i tried it on the desktopvr app (which is the one i actually want to test). But it cant compile it! there is some error with direct 3d i think :S  (the line is "Application.DoEvents();")
Maybe im doing something wrong or its because im using the 2008 C# edition who knows

anyways the fixed exe someone posted here doesnt work either... so first thing i wanna ask is does this fixed exe work for everyone else? because then i guess its just my **LOVE** laptop

...but maybe this exe is somehow broken and someone could compile a working desktopvr with atomriots fix in it
thatd be really cool!

so thanks for your help

*what the f u c k im being censored?? i guess im not used to writing in forums :/... what i wanted to say was s h i t laptop

Well it seems like the error only springs up when the application actually manages to connect to my wiimote. otherwise it just displays the "cant find wiimote" message.

correct i dont have the sdk
but i just installed the newest DirectX Runtimes

the error is an invalidcallexception... :/
and in case this helps: if the remote isnt connected i get a different error and some message with fishtank. although actually the formulation in the messages seems pretty random to me.... i know 3 different ones up to now anyways when the remote is connected it says "error reading data from wiimote"

couldnt you compile a working exe for me? or would i get the errors then as well?

thanks for the help

ok, i got all of johnnys apps working with the trick!

you need:
- Visual studio or C# express
- Sourcecode from johnny
- Directx SDK installed

what you do:
- open up the .sln with visual studio
- edit the code as shown in the first post

it should run then (press green play button)

if you want to run the exe you have to go to the bin/debug/ directory, there you can also edit the config file.

Hey everyone, first time poster. I am obsessing about making this white board work. I have Windows XP home, and HP dongle. I am not getting my wiimote to be recognized in anyway, I am not using any other program beside the software that it came with. When I try to search for devices it comes up with an error saying that the search could not begin. I downloaded C# and edited the codes like in the first post, except I cannot find anything called "mutex" or where id put the code with the main form constructor. Atomriot I need your expertise please, what else can I try to get this working?

Thank you.

 Dongle is HP BT 500,  software is what came in the box with the dongle its a menu that has my device, add device, neighborhood, and find devices. None of those buttons or folders seem to work, each says the searching cannot begin. In the bluetooth places, It will recognize the HP when it is in a usb slot. But it does not want to do anything like search or connect. The wii cannot be found because my  dongle isnt working right. Could it be that my usb ports are too old or something? why would it be recognized but not work? When I try to use Bluesoliel it cannot find anything.

thanks  for your reply, and the link boonhjin will be amazing once I can  connect.
