Hi !!!
Thanks !!
I've MSDN lib,I know it possible to redefine this struct, but when you want use GetAltTabInfo(..) function
you have the same problem.
Why compiler don't know about this function or struct ?

error C2065: 'GetAltTabInfo' : undeclared identifier

I'm a long time work with VC, but it's first time when i have problem like this ;(
Thanks and Good Luck

Re: Problem, help !!

If you look in winuser.h, you'll see the ALTTABINFO declaration is wrapped in an #if (WINVER >= 0x0500) block. You'll need to #define WINVER 0x0500 before your #include statements.

I need to change the MSysObjects attributes to read only thru VC.
I will be able to read tables info if I could do that. By default, MSysObjects cannot be read. I can change the setting thru Access 2000 but I want to do it thru VC.

Help!

I think the CRT variable _daylight indicates whether daylight savings time is in effect. The docs aren't exactly crystal clear, though.

Yes you are right !
but its now proving a devil to test for
I'll implement it anyway as its several months before DST comes into effect here, To see if it works correctly.

Fast Algorithm needed for Co-odinates along Ellipse

17-Apr-01 19:39

I am looking for a fast algorithm for outputing the co-ordinates of points along an ellipse, given the bounding rectangle.
Basically as the Ellipse drawing function only that it outputs the co-ordinates of the pixels rather than drawing them.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Happy programming!!

This is just quick and dirty code (written straight in an untested). This code assumes the definition of things like point2d (it's a floating point 2d point) and pi. The maths is pretty simple trigonometry, so if you have any trouble go to the library. Here goes:

<br />
point2d *GetEllipsePoints(float height, float width, point2d center, long divisions)<br />
{<br />
     point2d *theList = new point2d[divisions];<br />
<br />
     for (long i = 0; i < divisions; i++)<br />
     {<br />
          theList[i].x = cos(((float)i/(float)divisions) * pi / 180.0f)*width*0.5;<br />
          theList[i].y = sin(((float)i/(float)divisions) * pi / 180.0f)*height*0.5;<br />
     }<br />
<br />
     return theList;<br />
}<br />

Directshow problem with getting the media file length

Greetings,

I am trying to get the length of the avi source file, and to play it in the time line at that length,
but for some reason I am always getting a "0" returned for the media length. Any suggestions on how
to retreive these?

I am under Windows 2000, and I am using directx 8.0 sdk with visual C++ 6.0.
The code I am having trouble with is marked below as "// PROBLEM AREA!!!!"

IAMTimelineObj *pGroupObj = NULL;
pTL->CreateEmptyNode(&pGroupObj, TIMELINE_MAJOR_TYPE_GROUP);
pGroupObj->QueryInterface(IID_IAMTimelineGroup, (void **)&pGroup);

// Set the group media type.
AM_MEDIA_TYPE mtGroup;
ZeroMemory(&mtGroup, sizeof(AM_MEDIA_TYPE));
mtGroup.majortype = MEDIATYPE_Video;
pGroup->SetMediaType(&mtGroup);
pTL->AddGroup(pGroupObj);

Scrollbars in a Formview

Hello,

How can one remove the scrollbars from a CFormView based app? I've spent way too many hours trying to figure this one out. Mad | :mad:

I've tried ModifyStyle(WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL, 0);

I've tried cs.style = ~WS_HSCROLL | ~WS_VSCROLL;

This should be simple, and its driving me crazy!!! Confused | :confused:

Thanks!

exit Visual Studio, delete the projects *.clw file then start Visual Studio again. The Class Wizard file (*.clw) will be regenerated and all references to the ActiveX control should be gone.

Creating Jet 3.6 Database using DAO?

17-Apr-01 5:04

Hi, I am using CDaoDatabase to create an access database. I can create Access 97 ( JEt Database Engine version 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0) by passing third paremeter of CDaoDatabase->Create(DatabaseName, Language,Version).
Any body know what to pass as third parameter to create Access 2000 (Jet version 3.6) ??

try
{
newDB->Create(szNewDB, dbLangGeneral, 0);
}
catch( CDaoException e)

Help appreciated.

By the way, do you know how to change the MSysObjects attributes to read only thru VC?
I will be able to read tables info if I could do that. By default, MSysObjects cannot be read. I can change the setting thru Access 2000 but I want to do it thru VC!

What if you use SQL CREATE TABLE statemnt or even better the SQL Stored Procedures in your VC++ along with DAO, instead of the DAO lonely & directly? Wink | ;)
