Could someone gimme some direction on how to create a specialized menu for each view in a splitter window? I want the menu to be drawn inside each of the CViews inside the splitter wnd.

you mean like dropping down from the splitter bar at the top of each splitter view? hmmm ... would a right-click pop-up menu for each pane not be good enough? i know it would sure be a lot easier to code
situations to avoid #37:
"good morning ... how many sugars do you take in your coffee ... and what was your name again?"

The problem here is that menus are attached to frames. The views in a splitter windows share the same frame so I don't see how you can do this without an awful lot of work.
IDEAS)
1) I did something similar to what you need to do except that I used a dialog bar on one side that contained a tree view and I didn't allow the dialog bar to be undocked. The view on the right side was then a listview. This enabled me to define an CMDIChildWnd-derived frame window and attach a toolbar to it. That frame was then used in the creation of the view's doctemplate.
2) About 15 years ago, I wrote a similar thing in OS/2. This was long before the days of having classes to do the work for you. What I did was to create 3 MDI windows. The first two were my views. The third was a "splitter window". It was simply a window that was defined as being so narrow that only its borders were viewable. Therefore, it looked just like today's splitter. I then handled that window's WM_MOVE message and resized the other windows accordingly. The overall impression to the user was that of using a splitter to view different amounts of each window. This *might* do what you want as with each view you could create your own frame and attach a menu to it.
I know these aren't the answers you were looking for. However, sometimes if someone talks about similar problems/solutions, it can jog ideas of your own that will solve your particular problem.

Hey Everyone,
Anybody got a good recommendation for a regular expression parser that will work relatively well with STL strings, in Visual C++? I hear MS has one they are giving away, but don't know if there are any other ones that are decent.
Thanks,

Hi all,
Is it possible to send email from VC++6.0 without using any email client?
Thanks,

Yes, as long as you have the dlls. I do not know how usefule this link is, but someone wrote a component on codeproject that may get you started. http://www.codeproject.com/internet/xymailclient.asp.

The most common ways of doing this are:
A) Use the MAPI interface. MAPI is a bloated interface and can't be used by NT services, I would avoid it.
b) Use SMTP to talk directly to the email server. This is very simple to use but requires a third party library. It works with NT services too. You can buy a library that does this or use a public domain version. I think PJ Naughter has some public domain classes for this.

Actually, you can use MFC sockets support to send the SMTP verbs to the server.
I personally prefer MAPI as it's much easier to use.

I have a problem with the function CreateProcessWithLogonW(). The right header files are included, but i always get a compiler error:
error C2065: 'CreateProcessWithLogonW' : undeclared identifier
CreateProcessWithLogonW() is declared in WinBase.h and implemented in Advapi32.lib!!! Both are included!!! What is wrong with them ??
|
|
|
|

Don't panic, i got it!!!
Please, stop answering, the time is over!!
And the solution is .....
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
... must be declared before includinge WinBase.h in Win2000!!!
Here's the manual for each OS:
Windows NT 4.0 _WIN32_WINNT>=0x0400
Windows 98 _WIN32_WINDOWS>=0x0410
Windows 2000 _WIN32_WINNT>=0x0500
Windows Me _WIN32_WINDOWS=0x0490
Windows XP and
Windows .NET Server _WIN32_WINNT>=0x0501

Consider the following file in a C++ program:
fstream employees(ios::in|ios::out|ios::binary);
This file is going to be a random access file in the program. The user will be allowed to read and write records. Records are based upon the following struct:
struct emp
{ int empId;
char empName[20];
long empSalary;
chat smpDept[4];
}
The question is as follows: Is the file required to be a binary file, or can the ios::binary clause be omitted? Can anyone explain this to me?

unless you're converting that long to text when you output, then yes, the file has to be binary. otherwise, you will end up with a bunch of unprintable characters.

I have a question about debugging in VC6.
When the IDE breaks at a location and you look at the variables window for the "Value" of a class if the class is descendent of a CObject you'll see the class name ex: {CMyObject} but for a CString, CRect, CPoint, etc. you'll see the value(s) of the most important member(s) of the class, CString - the actual string, CPoint - the X and Y coordinate.
So my question is: Is there a way to control the text in the value column or the variable window of the IDE for a class or is it the IDE that decides what to display? 
For example if I created a CMyString class that's a descendent of a CObject class. When I debug in the "Value" column I only see {CMyString}, I always have to click on the "+" sign to see the value of the CMyString class. I would be very useful to have control on what the IDE would display for a value of a class.
But if the IDE decides what members is displayed for certain class, then I guess I would kind of be impossible to do...
Thanks...

You have to edit this file:
(wherever you installed Visual)\Common\MsDev98\Bin\Autoexp.dat
Add a line like this:
CMyString=<membervariable>
Fortunately, there are (should be) some instructions within this file that explain exactly what you can do. I'd recommend closing down Visual before editing this file.
No generalization is 100% true.
Not even this one.

I'm writing this code to control a mechincal syring and I keep getting this error when I try to build it.
header file: int pl32ComClose(void);
call fn in .cpp: pl32ComClose();
error recieved: myc32.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl pl32ComClose(void)" (pl32ComClose@@YAHXZ) referenced in function _main
How do I go about fixing this? I'm using a predefined .lib and .dll file for the functions. Am I not linking correctly to the files? Am I calling it incorrectly?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try including the header in your .cpp like this:
extern "C"{
#include "lpr32.h"
}

That is still not working. I include the header #include "Test32C.h" originally. I tried it this new way and the same error came up. Thanks for trying though. any other suggestions???

It's hard to say without further info:- Does it work if you link the DLL in a C-only project?
- Could it be the DLL was built for a different version of VC++ than you're using?

Hello all,
I've been lurking here for quite a while and have run into a problem that I can't seem to find an answer to, so I thought I'd give you guys (and gals) a shot.
I'm trying to create a MAPI preprocessor using a minimal Transport Provider as described in the MAPI SDK. This Preprocessor is to be used in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange. According to the SDK, the Preprocessor method is *supposed* to be called from the MAPI spooler. In my case, it is not being called at all. There are a statements buried within the SDK documentation about the case of a tightly coupled Transport Provider and Message Store bypassing the MAPI spooler entirely.
"This implies that the individual parts within the combined service provider should interact with each other in a way that simulates the interaction they would normally have with the parts of the MAPI subsystem that are not being used." - directly from the Microsoft SDK.
What I suspect is that the Exchange provider is a tightly coupled Message Store and Transport, thus bypassing the spooler and not internally duplicating the spooler's behavior by calling other registered preprocessors.
Can anyone out there confirm, deny or perhaps point me somewhere to find out if this is in fact the case?
To answer the first wave of "Have you tried..." questions, here goes:
No, I can't use Hook providers as they only get called after a message is sent, I need to modify a message before it is sent.
No, I can't use Outlook Automation, it only works within the outlook client app, I need to grap ALL messages, not just those sent from within Outlook (besides, the Outlook automation is grossly incomplete and buggy).
Yes, my Transport Provider is being loaded, and logged into properly when a MAPI client (including Outlook) is used.
Thanks in advance for any light or dark that you might be able to shed on this...
PS. You guys (and gals) are pretty funny to sit back and watch. 
George
