how are you accessing it ?
do you use its full path, or relative path ?

I'm looking for it in WINDOWS folder for editing some sections. I have all my .ini files there (of my previous app's).
Why isn't it there?
|
|
|
|
|
please show the piece of code that accesses the file
|
|
|
|
|
EG.
CString sHost = AfxGetApp()->GetProfileString("Defaults","sqlHost","");
getting the host(from ini file section 'defaults' read from 'sqlHost'. If it isn't there empty string '""' is returned).
|
|
|
|
|
have you gone into the debugger and see what AfxGetApp() returns ?
where in this code are specifying which ini file to read ?
you directly try to access a section, but windows doesn't even know in which file...

Are you sure you are not saving values in the registry? This is where GetProfiltString() looks unless you are using Win95/98.

Actualy i don't know. All app have '.ini' files (app_name.ini). I use it for saving some info and load it back vhen I need it (eg. next time app starts...)

How did you created <appname>.ini file ?

"SetRegistryKey"(_T(......"
Thx to ALL!

Hi everybody,
does anybody already used a chart in MFC?
I need for example a "line-diagram" EXAMPLE
Does it exists free MFC Diagrams ? Or only commercial ?
Thanks 
|

There are many charting controls, also here [^]

Thanks you two ! 
I even don't find beautiful charts in commercial sites, i think
the nice charts with 3D effects are only for C#.
But the free CodeProject-Charts are also nice, i'll try them
Have a nice day

You can also use the OCX that com with the visual studio suite.
Using that ocx allows you to use the charts in 3D also...
Hope this helps.

Thanks,
i see only .NET related things about OCX.
Do you have Documentation about it?
|

It is very easy:
Project -> Add to project -> Components and controls
It opens a dialog and you should choose REGISTERED ACTIVEX CONTROLS.
Then you should search for MICROSOFT CHART CONTROL 6.0 (SP4) (OLEDB).
Other ways to do it is to get in contact with enterprises that manufacture things like that like DUNDAS.
Hope this helps...
PS: I've just noticed that I'm giving you instructions for vc++6... hope this is not a problem.

The task sounds simple:
I have to load a long list of files into a list control box in a dialog.
I do it by calling my function FeedFileToListControl() in the OnInitDialog().
The problem is that my function takes a long time to run and the dialog just doesn't show up before the OnInitDialog() returns.
I want to have the dialog shows up first, then the Items are added into the list control in the dialog.
So, where should I put my FeedFileToListControl() function ?
|

In a separate thread. If you don't do that, either your dialog won't be displayed (if you do that in OnInitDialog for example) or it will freeze during the loading (if you manage to call your function after everything has been initialized.
Once everything has been loaded, you can send a message to your dialog so that it can fill the list. Don't work with the GUI directly in the separate thread.
|
|
|
|
|
There are several ways:
(1) A separate thread.
(2) A one-shot timer: set a timer in the InitDialog then fill the listbox the first time the WM_TIMER message occurs.
(3) Make a PostMessage of a custom message for the application itself and then perform listbox initialization in the message handler.
...
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

It seems that to avoid freezing the dialog, I should use a seperate thread to insert item into the list. This thread should be created and starts after the dialog has showed up. But exactly when to do it ??? I haven't got where should I put my AfxBeginThread(). (I don't want to use a timer here)
|
|

If you put the initialization code in a separate thread, you can also start it in InitDialog method, since it will not freeze the application.
However, IMHO you can keep the whole matter simpler using a one-shoot timer or a PostMessage making apparent to the user that you're performing initialization (an hourglass cursor, for instance).

thread is only solution, but beware calling UI function from Worker thread bring some drastic result !
