Re: How to launch a .job file in VC++ ?

21-Jul-04 17:00

What is a .job file?

If it has a registered executable associated with the file extension then the process will start if you use ShellExecute() correctly.

A .job file is created by task scheduler.

We can launch the .job file by double clicking it,

but it can't be launched by using ShellExecute() in VC++.

Maybe it doesn't have the registered executable associated with .job file

extension.

CListCtrl flicker...

Hi All
i have a nice and groovy CListCtrl which is showing images (100x100)

I have a thread which inserts the images into the control as the images are received. (the number of images is unknown beforehand)

When an image arrived, i add it to the Imagelist and then i do a SetImageList
(and then finally give it a title with InsertItem)

When i have a largish number of images, the control fickers when an image arrives and is inserted ...
I was wondering if there was a better method for what I am trying to do and what would be the best way to rid myself of the flicker?
cheers

Have you tried CWnd::LockWindowUpdate()? I don't know that it will help but I wonder.

ovveride the folowing

OnEraseBkgnd
OnPaint

in the errasbackground method you should do nothing..
and in the on Paint you should do something like this:

void CIcoListCtrl::OnPaint()
{
	CPaintDC dc(this);
	CRect r;
	GetClientRect(&r);

	CMemDC memDC(&dc,&r);

	
	Errase(&memDC);
	CWnd::DefWindowProc(WM_PAINT,(WPARAM)memDC.m_hDC,0);
	
}

I have a CustomDrawListControl with Icons and the Icons are zooming on mouseenter and mouseleave...
and it dont flicker at all!

I hope this helps..

OK, If I have read correctly I should be able to take a single executable file from the development environment and use it on another Windows based machine if I statically link with the MFC dlls. I appreciate that this will make it a more cumbersome .exe but it keeps my customer happy. As a final check I will not need any additional dlls to permit database access since I accomplich that using the MFC CRecordset classes. Is this correct?

I currently use the standard edition of VC++ ver6 and think that I have to get the Professional edition to do this. Again before I spend the dollars am I correct?

Yes, you need the pro version to link statically with MFC.

I don't believe that will be correct. It's been a long time but you should need files for whatever database product you are using. Also CRecordset uses ODBC I believe, so all of that has to be installed.

Multiline editbox

Spank me!!21-Jul-04 13:16

Spank me!!

21-Jul-04 13:16

Hello, I have an editbox that is in a child dialog – this child dialog is a “cancel test” type screen having a single button that when pushed cancels a long series of calculations, and a single multilane editbox that receives information from my main program and displays them in a multilane form.

Here is my problem: I can get the multilane part to work great, but I always have to scroll down to see the most recent message. For example, if I were to make an editbox that is only tall enough to print a single line, then I will always see the very first string that I sent to the editbox – I am wanting to see the most recent string, not the oldest.

I know I need to use something like pcanceldlg->LineScroll(1, 0); but I always get an error saying LineScroll' : is not a member of 'CCancelBoxDlg' If anyone can help me with how to use the LineScroll function in a child dialog I would greatly appreciate it.

If it helps any, here is the code I am using to send the strings:

pcanceldlg->GetDlgItemText(1015, s_oldprogress);<br />
  s_newprogress = s_oldprogress + "\r\n" + s_progress;<br />
  pcanceldlg->SetDlgItemText(IDC_MOVEMENTDIALOG, s_newprogress);

Thanks,

Loren

Hi,

LineScroll is a member of the CEdit class, not CDialog, which is why when you try to call the function using the dialog pointer, you get a syntax error. To call LineScroll, therefore, you need to have the CEdit control variable or a pointer to it. Try this instead:

<br />
CEdit *myEdit = ((CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_MOVEMENTDIALOG));<br />
<br />
// You can now call LineScroll; note that the following call only scrolls the edit control 1 verical line<br />
myEdit->LineScroll(1, 0);<br />

Hope that helps!

Sincerely,
Alexander Wiseman

Sounds very much like an editbox I'm using to log messages. This is how I scroll to the bottom of the editbox.

// Scroll the last line into view
int len = m_SystemStatus.GetWindowTextLength();
m_SystemStatus.SetSel(len,len,FALSE);	// scroll last line into view

Hi,

I want to use CDatabase::ExecuteSQL to execute a update sql statement to Access database.
I use the following sql statement.

sql="update table_name set col_name=\"dd'ee\" where id=1";

(the content of col_name has a ')

it doesn't work.

Please help me solve the problem!!

thanks a lot!!

Alan

Did you test the SQL statement in Access?

It looks like there might be an error in it. It appears you have an apostrophe character in the string value for the col_name field. I am not positive but i seem to remember that Access and other relational DB's do not support that character in string data.

Try this syntax:

strQuery = "UPDATE employees "
strQuery += "SET employee_lastname = " + m_Value;
strQuery += "WHERE employee_id = " + nEmpId;

remove those slashes

What does that mean? Does it throw an exception?
