if u don't understand the Q, go back to read it again, i think u understand now.
if u even don't know vc menu is different from normal menu, as i said: u are very poor.

go back read all replies one by one, who is in adult manner?

i post the Q for my job, not for kidding.

if u think replies are in adult manner, here may be an adult club.

i am waiting for help (from top c++ programmers, not at ur poor level), but when i read replies in words of ur adult club, i am angry.

don't type anything on the forum except u sure u can help.

see, one funny reply is:

This we all probably agree on. But the initial question at the start of this thread was incredibly vague. You have since provided enough information about what you want to achieve.

Some of the replies to you were just in response to the vagueness of your question. The more information that you provide in the question the better. Look back at your question and assume you didn't know what you were asking about and see whether it makes sense to you.

As for Christians HAHAHAHHAHA. A bit out of order, but he is a very good c++ programmer. He also has had experience in this area as he did something along these lines for the XT toolkit at www.codejock.com, but which they didn't use in the end. (which is a shame, as I use the XT toolkit in my projects).

You wanted to know about drag n drop / tear off buttons / menu items etc.
This is a very big and complex topic. There used to be an article on it here at CP (BCGLibrary), but which has since gone commercial and the code is no longer available. The best bet would be to start from one of the owner drawn menu articles and try and add the required functionality from there, but its a big and difficult task.

As I say, this is not a samll problem it could take months to get something working, or you could use any of the commercial libraries that provide this, but they cost $/£'s

You can find advertisements for them here at CP.

Good luck.

don't show me ur poor knowledge again: vc menu is based on CControlBar, not such owner-draw as u guess.

don't scare urself say "This is a very big and complex topic", i work on it for only one day, basically it works already.

don't tell me "Christians is a very good c++ programmer", i checked his replies yesterday, most of them are guesses plus mistakes, definitely not from an experenced c++ place.

Static controls

I'm trying to display a bitmap in a Dialog and I've created a static control named IDC_PICTURE. I added this through the resource editor and placed it in my dialog and associated a picture. The picture shows up fine when i run my program. What i want to do is change the picture during the program to a different bitmap. I added the second bitmap to the resource list (right under the first one) and I'm trying to figure out how I can get control over which bitmap is displayed. Usually, I work with simple edit boxes and I do the following to gain control over them.

CWnd * pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_BYTE0);//where IDC_BYTE0 is an edit control
pWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); // i use this to control it, in this case to make it show instead of hidden.

I want to do this:

CStatic *pPic = GetDlgItem(IDC_PICTURE);//where IDC_PICTURE is the static control of type picture
so i can do this
pPic->SetBitmap(IDB_BITMAP2) //where IDB_BITMAP is the first one and IDB_BITMAP2 is the second picture

This code doesn't compile because GetDlgItem returns a CWnd type pointer.. but how do i get the pointer I need to use the CStatic functions?

Thanks

Construct ADO Recordset from XML file

Anyone knows any good way to do that? I have a (raw-formatted) XML file and I need to build ADO recordset from it. The last resort would be parse the XML file and build the recordset from scratch Dead | X|

Hope there is a way to use the XML file as data source.
Thank you.

Unfortunately no, there is no such thing, unless you use ADO.NET

There is quite a bunch of Xml readers here in the SOAP XML section, I guess it shouldn't be that hard to reuse one of them, especially if the Xml content is simple (no deep use of namespaces, etc.).

I know ADO has a way to write out a recordset as XML. One would think it could read in an XML dataset as long as it conformed to some schema structure.

If you want to load the recordset to insert this data into a database, then you could consider transforming (XSLT) the XML to generate a file, that will be in the correct format for sqlloader or BCP. Lesser XMLDoc parsing code inside your application then.

Look over Microsoft's specification of RegRestoreKey(). Maybe you left something out.

Passing macro's via NMAKE & handling (Q237870)

EiSl31-Oct-02 3:51

31-Oct-02 3:51

Editted: for better understanding, I suggest one read the MSDN-Q237870 before continue

Hello all,

We've here automated build-scripts (Batch files and also 4NT batch-files) that creates user environment at a central (build)server. One of the scripts also executes NMAKE <makefile> in order to build the application.

Problem:
Within the scipts I've the variable MAJOR_VER, MINOR_VER and BUILD_NR. I would like to pass these with NMAKE in such way that I can use those variables (Macro's) to fill in the VERSIONINFO-resource: the file + product version entires. This structure is already moved to .RC2-file so its in our control.

When manually define them in a header-file and include this in RC2-file (as mentioned in MSDN: Q237870) this works.

But...
I want to pass this info via batch-file (NMAKE), iso calling a script which modifies a headerfile. Anyone suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

EiSl

This is somewhat of a problem as I can't compile my programs anymore Cry | :((

Now, my biggest problem is that my Visual C++ cd is in Europe and I'm in the Carribean at this moment.
You might say: hey, what's the problem, go and enjoy the beach and the sun and forget about programming Wink | ;)

but I should really appreciate it if someone can send me a zip file with the contents of C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\LIB (with mfc42d.lib, ...) to wjans@aqualectra.an?

hi
i have a "char* printername" variable is there. in this variable i want to store the selected printername. i assign this value to "dmDeviceName" structure member of DEVMODE structure. it's giving data type conversion error.
dmDeviceName datatype is TCHAR or BCHAR.
how can i assign my value to that. please help it's very urgent.
thank you

Instead of using char* I would recommend using CString if you are using MFC or WTL. If not then use std::string to store the name of the printer.

Third option would be to use a TCHAR printername[ 256 ]; to store the name of the printer. Then when you want to store it use _tcsncpy( ) to copy the name of the printer from dmDeviceName to this buffer.

But I would recommend using a string class - either CString or std::string.
