So basically, I have no idea where to start since I'm not actually a desktop developer.
I'm a web dev but we need this functionality in our current project with a client but sadly we don't have background knowledge for this and we have been searching for ways how to do it and so far we are convinced that we need C/C++/C# for this.
But the problem is how or in where do we start? The use case for this is very few and thus too little Documentation is available especially in forums.
We would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to understand how the SelectionIdBuilder works. I'm especially trying to understand when and how to use .withMeasure and .withSeries. The information in GitHub (here) didn't enlighten me. I can't find any real examples of code using either .withMeasure or .withSeries.
I got my visual to work, using only .withCategory, based on other visuals I saw, but I want to really understand the SelectionIdBuilder.
I'd sure appreciate an education regarding how SelectionIdBuilder works and where I might find more detailed info about it.
I have spent hours looking for this and can't figure it out. I have a program that I have made which I would like to add voice recognition to (all it does is a few simple commands like time, date, things like that...it's just for fun) and I know I have some form of SAPI on my computer because I had to include sapi.h to get the voice synthesis to work (and that's works fine by the way) but I can't figure out for the life of me how to use the voice recognition.
It appears people have already asked about C++ voice recognition on here so I apologize if this is just a duplicate but none of the others seemed to answer my question, perhaps I'm just missing something (I'm fairly new to C++ so it's very possible) but I could really use some help here.
Thanks a bunch!
----edit----
The code in the link has an issue on my computer, it can't find the file "atlbase.h" which then of course is causing all sorts of other problems (hopefully these will all be resolved when I fix the atlbase.h problem). I found this site which seems to offer an explanation which shows up on quite a few other sites and appears to work, but I don't know how to get to the file that everyone is changing.

Could someone please help me as to where the file they're all changing is?
I am seeing many many different use cases where I could use Markdown in apps that I write, both personal and professional. But from my research so far, I haven't been able to find many options for working with it in ColdFusion. I would certainly like to keep from reinventing the wheel by trying to implement it myself if someone else already has a project that I can use and contribute to, both because of time and not to duplicate efforts.
My preference would be to use an implementation in native coldfusion because that would be the easiest to tweak if it was necessary, but I am open to alternatives in other languages, as long as it is easy enough to implement and maintain. I have looked at the WMD editor, but it doesn't look like it is the whole solution. It would work for outputing the markup, but I would want to store that and then convert it to html as necessary for display.
Does anyone know of any other options?
Update: I do know of the CFX_markdown but I am not sure it is mature enough. If anyone out there has experience with it I would love to hear about it.
Update 2: I have added a bounty to this question. Not to say that the answer that has been given so far isn't a good one or isn't the best one, but I am wanting to see if anyone else has any other information about markdown with CF so we know all of the options.
Update 3: So offering the bounty didn't really work. I will go ahead and let it auto accept the only answer just in case we have any late answers. Thanks to everyone who has contributed.
The Markdown Wiki refers to a Java implementation called MarkdownJ. I've no idea how mature it is, and I know you'd prefer a native ColdFusion implementation, but if you're running ColdfusionMX then a Java module might be a good compromise.
We have a plugin created that does this in ColdFusion already:

This project started as a development platform because i wanted to be able to write games for mobile devices, but also being able to run and debug the code on my desktop machine too (ie, the EPOC device emulator was so bad): the platforms it currently supports are:
Window-desktop
WinCE
Symbian
iPhone
The architecture it's quite complete with 16bit 565 video framebuffer, blitters, basic raster ops, software pixel shaders, audio mixer with shaders (dsp fx), basic input, a simple virtual file system... although this thing is at it's first write and so there are places where some refactoring would be needed.
Everything has been abstracted away and the guiding principle are:
mostly clean code, as if it was a book to just be read
object-orientation, without sacrifying performances
mobile centric
The idea was to open source it, but without being able to manage it, i doubt the software itself would benefit from this move.. Nevertheless, i myself have learned a lot from unmaintained projects.
So, thanking you in advance for reading all this... really, what would you do?
Throw it up on an open source website and attach a bunch of good keywords to help search engines find it. If someone's looking for it, they'll find it and be able to use it.
I would say that you should open source it.
If you do have the time, it may be helpful for other programmers who are interested in the project to know the status of the project, and what is next to do on the project. Writing a to do list may be helpful, or writing comments in the code may also help.
If you do not have the time to write up a to do list maybe somebody is willing to take the initiative on the project, find out what needs to be done.
Look at it a different way. The worst that can happen is that your work will go unnoticed, and your efforts will be lost. The best that can happen is that you will be recognized for having the foresight to start such a great project, and open sourcing it.
http://sourceforge.net
This allows you to set up as admin and manage the project.
Of course if somebody does not agree with you they can fork the project and start their own version but that's open source for you.
If you've put time and effort into it, don't let it die a quiet death. Instead share it under the license of your choice on a collaborative site. At the worst, you get nothing in return. At the best, other people like the idea and provide constructive feedback or code. Even better is if you get some time in the future to pick it back up.
Couple of good sites to post it on
codeplex
sorceforge
Definitely, you should open source it, just make the same considerations you made on this question on a place that anybody can see...
Maybe someone will pick it up, or just learn from it
Put it up on github so we can all check it out.
