Very possibly, I was hoping to have a chance to try it and find out. 
My game was not in 3D, so I had cycles to spare and a lot more space was devoted to wavs than to code or bitmaps, so in my case it was a good idea I thought.

Christian,
I don't know if you noticed, but Age of Empires II uses MP3 files for all their sound files. Ironic isn't it? And here they are pushing their own WMF format... I guess it's because it was actually Ensemble Studios that made the game. My point is that MP3s in games have been a reality for some years now.
I'm also somewhat interested in learning about the MP3 format in depth, so I can write my own utilities. Unfortunately I have to first find a way to stop playing AOE.
Regards,
Alvaro

No, I didn't notice that, although I have AOE II.

I know what you mean - I played it for a week and forced myself to stop so I could get some work done....

I used app wizard to build a dialog box to display the command line. The app wizard built two classes, test.cpp and testdlg.cpp. I added Carlos Antollini's command line class and using debug I can see the command line value in the test.cpp class(InitInstance) but can not figure how to get the value into the testdlg.cpp class. I have built an edit window and can use UpdateData() to put a value in to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is not completely clear to me what you want to do. However, if all you want to do is display the command line arguments in a dialog, I would use a listbox. Add a listbox to the dialog using the resource editor. Using the class wizard, add a member variable of type CListBox to the dialog class and map it to the listbox control that was added. Then in the OnInitDialog function add this :
CYourDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
for( int i = 0; i (less than) __argc; i++ )
m_ListBox.AddString( __argv[i] );
}
That's it. This will fill the listbox with one argument per line.

I use SetFieldValue to add a record to database,
but each time only the first character was added to database.

You'll need to post your code. I've not seen this behaviour from SetFieldValue.

I need to open a CFormView window in a certain size depending on the system font definition.
How can I know if large fonts or small fonts are defined?
Thanks for the answer,
Aviv.

GetDeviceCaps(hDC,LOGPIXELSX) - on large fonts it usually returns 120 on small fonts it usually returns 96 - at least on my system.

Help, I've got a static picture control on a formview and I keep sizing the picture to the size I want but it comes up in the static control a little bit smaller.
Could this have to do with the pixels/inch (just guessing)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just blt the picture yourself ? The 'bit smaller' is probably the frame of the control ( about 8 pixels ? ).

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's no such function in CToolbar, according to MSDN.
Is this a doc/view app? If so, then you should use the UI handlers to enable/disable/check/uncheck menu items and toolbar buttons. Search for ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI in the MSDN for more info.
Regards,
Alvaro

The "Synchronize" Dialog is at menu of IE|Tools. The dialog synchronize the offline page with the web's.
Thanx

Looks owner drawn to me.
It sure isn't a common dialog, I doubt you'll get hold of it, although you might through an IE COM object.

From the dialog you can call the application class to get the string.
CString m_EditStr = AfxGetApp()->m_lpCmdLine;
I would however add a function to the application class to return this string.
Happy programming!!

Hello all,
I am writing an MFC app for a college project.
I have some code that opens & saves files (not using serialization).
When I open a file (.gbc) it is read in and parsed, objects are created (Notes, Chords, Bars, Tablines) based on these values, but I dont know how to create a new view or doc to display these objects.
Can someone help me please ?
My open code is in MainFrame.cpp and works wonderfully, except I can open 5 files but only have the one original document open ?
Rob

You should place your load/save code into the Document class, regardless of if you use serialisation or your own code. If you put it in the mainframe, you're going to be fighting doc/view all the way. If you set things up so your view displays the info in your document class, which loads and saves it, using your existing code, and let OnFileNew/OnFileOpen/OnFileSave do their default thing of creating instances of views/documents, you'll find life a lot easier.
