========================= Ambient Light Aware Windows 7 Sensor Platform ========================= This MFC sample shows how to use the Sensor Platform by reading data from Ambient Light Sensors on the computer and changing a label's font size to be optimized for the reported light conditions. Such as smaller font while inside and larger font while outside in a sunny environment. The sample is not meant to be perfect in optimizing for light conditions, but done to show the usage of the Sensor Platform. This sample requires Visual Studio to be built. =============================== Sample Language Implementations =============================== This sample is available in the following language implementations: C++ ===== Files ===== AmbientLightAware.cpp The main CWinApp file AmbientLightAware.h Header file AmbientLightAware.rc Resource file for MFC AmbientLightAware.sln Solution for the project AmbientLightAware.vcproj VS Project file AmbientLightAwareDlg.cpp Dialog class AmbientLightAwareDlg.h Header file AmbientLightAwareSensorManagerEvents.cpp Custom class to handle ISensorManager events AmbientLightAwareSensorManagerEvents.h Header file AmbientLightAwareSensorEvents.cpp Custom class to handle ISensor events AmbientLightAwareSensorEvents.h Header file ReadMe.txt This ReadMe resource.h Resource file stdafx.cpp Precompiled file stdafx.h Precompiled header ============= Prerequisites ============= Windows 7 Visual Studio 2008 ======== Building ======== This sample cannot be built in the SDK environment. Visual Studio must be used. To build the sample using Visual Studio 2008: 1. Run the Windows SDK Configuration Tool provided with the SDK to add SDK include directories to Visual Studio 2.
