Hello,
I'm a beginner (since about 8 month with c++) and I would like to write a small application, which I can use as a reference. Problem is, I don't have an idea what app to write! The application should not be network dependend (because I don't have a client/server at home), should not need MAPI or the internet (cause I have dialup and that would be a pain in the butt). The last limitation is the database. I would prefer an application that doesn't use a database.
After all these limitations, does anybody still have and idea? Preferable something that would be of use for daily development (like the includes browser, which is excellent).
So, any wild ideas are very welcome. Please note that I will do this in my free time. If the project is too large, I could only do it in tandem with somebody different.
Thanks in advance
Matthias

Hi, codegurus around the world.
I pointed out your one of misunderstandings.
Without the network, we can write the client-server program.
That is, we can use 127.0.0.1 IP address in our own machine
to check the functionality of the client-server. This also
applies the web development. Try to type 127.0.0.1 or localhost in the address bar of the browser.
If you doesn't have your own idea of what you want, this is not time to write you interested application. Before this, you had better learn the other stuffs like the database, network, and so on.
As you write the high-level application, we notice that we have to solve the problem by ourselves basically.
Good luck.

Someone has asked a tool for VC++ to see tree of included headers.
|
|
|
|
|
This already exists and is called Includes Browser. I don't know whether this application is available on this site. I have found it at the www.codeguru.com.
Thanks for help anyway,

It is difficult to find something that doesnot exist.
If you found something, there is no warranty it does not exist. Probably you just do not know.
There are many manufacturers of bikes, BTW. And all have customers.

Like Dimitry says most things already exist,
True like the statement when you loose something "it will be
in the last place you look"
Most of us here are "software engineers" and build things.
For something truly new you need to be a "software inventor",
Thus you first create a new idea, "successful software inventors can make real big bucks".
Because they are the first to implement totally new ideas.
So most of us are just trying to build better mouse traps.
Anyhow Mathias if you can't come up with a totally new idea that'll be useful you have two alternatives.
a.) Build a useless new idea tool, (and somebody else might find a use for it.)
b.) Do what most of us have to do, analyze all the other tools in your chosen category. And work out how to, design them better, generally this involves the user-interfaces, as the backend can't be improved for compareable difference, with most hardware today. Unless it's a transaction-server or tool that really utilizes the hardware well.

while running my first MFC program , i go to task manager and realize my program eaten up 6700K memory! it's only FTP client program with a SDI interface. Is that normal? and how can i minimize the memory it eaten up?
thanks a lot
|
|
|
|
|
6700K is not that bad.
if you are worried about that then you should see if you have large arrays of data. Are you freeing up the memory?

Hi,
i want to show a modalless dialog from the mainthread UI, and let it show in a second taskbar. how do i do that? does this dialog need to be in a worker thread?
please help

Dear nick,
All you have to do is to go to your dialog in the Resource Editor, and then double-click it to bring up Properties. Then, click the Styles page, and then make sure the
-Title Bar
-System Menu
-Minimize Box
boxes are checked. Make sure to give your dialog a title, and call CWnd::SetIcon() in OnInitDialog() if you want to give your dialog its own icon. i.e.
BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
//...
//...
// Takes care of setting both 32x32 and 16x16 icons
SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MYICON), TRUE);
return TRUE;
}
And voila! Taskbar entry! 
Yours,
Brian Hart

I am trying to find a way to manipulate windows on my computer. I have seen some video driver installation programs that will automatically open the properties box, click on settings, and continue on to install the driver etc.
Do anyone know how they do it?

To open the screen properties you may execute RUNDLL32 with the name of the exported function from desk.cpl
Syntax for RUNDLL32 is: rundll32 <library>,<exported-function> [function arguments...]
To click on controls you may send mouse messages to the correct window. You may find it with tools like SPY++, look at the class name and the window caption: you have to use those information in a call to FindWindow(). You may use the returned HWND to send messages that don't contain any pointer to data, since you are in another process space.

I am writing a client that will shutdown the computer. I want it to save as many applications before shutdown. I have tried WM_SAVE, and WM_CLOSE but they don't help much. Any suggestions.

Has anyone ever implemented a simple user-interface thread, with a dialog that simply has a cancel button? I have done all the steps to create the derived class from CWinThread. I need to be able to create a simple dialog within my derived class, and process it's messages. I have done everything I know, but I am not able to create the dialog inside the thread code, without conflicting with the threads own message pump. This causes a deadlock. This is a class that I need to use other projects as well, so rearchitecting the program to put the computation in a worker thread would be undesirable.

Can I change size for a Edit Box when I resize Dialog.
And can I chose font for Edit Box?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, use CWnd::MoveWindow and CWnd::SetFont of your CEdit control in the CDialog::OnSize message handler.
MFC are wrappers for the API.

Since you haven't specified MFC or API, I'll assume API and then you can apply it to MFC if you need.
In the WM_SIZE handler for your dialog, call SetWindowPos with the HWND of your edit box to change the window position and size. Or you can call MoveWindow with the HWND of your edit box. Move Window is a simpler call.
SetWindowPos documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/windows_2blf.htm
MoveWindow documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/windows_92nr.htm
Then to change the font of your edit box, you need to use SendMessage with the window message WM_SETFONT.
SetFont documentation.

Hope this helps,

Does anybody know how to associate a TKIND_ALIAS with its corresponding TKIND_ENUM using the ITypeInfo interface? Some type libraries are using typedef's for their enums and using the mangled MIDL names for the enumeration. I am trying to get a hold of the "clean" name. The following is an example of a type library that does this (Microsoft Scripting Runtime 1.0).
typedef [public]
__MIDL___MIDL_itf_scrrun_0000_0001 FileAttribute;
typedef enum {
Normal = 0,
ReadOnly = 1,
Hidden = 2,
System = 4,
Directory = 16,
Archive = 32,
Alias = 1024,
Compressed = 2048
} __MIDL___MIDL_itf_scrrun_0000_0001;
Thanks,
Chris

I need to resize text to fit in a rect. Is there any way to figure out what font size will fit in a rect?
Thanks
Jason Phillips
|
|
|
|

You can go the other way (find out the rect needed to hold text of a particular font) with GetTextExtentPoint32(). You can call that and see if the text will fit in your rect, and if not, choose a small font and call the function again.
There's also PathSetDlgItemPath(), which is like calling SetDlgItemText() on a static control, only it will ellipse out the string if needed to make the text fit in the control. That function requires IE4+, though, since it's in shlwapi.dll.

Hello,
Friday afternoon, ...
Thought I should post this question now:
"How does a programmer open COM 10, 11 or higher"
[ccode]
HANDLE hCom = CreateFile(szPort, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL));
[/ccode]
It fails when using szPort = "COM10" although I do have the COM Ports available.
Anyone experience in this field?
I am working on NT.
The cards are MOXA CI-134/ISA and C168H/PCI.
I know there is a limitation when working with standard Win32 COM lib on Win 3.11, but does it still apply to WinNT ??
I thought WinNT could handle up to 256 COM ports?
Help!
|

Problem solved:
I did get a very usefull reply from Mr Miller from Manaware.
---
NT can do up to 256.
The card manufacturer has not set up the registry and the 'DosNames' for the devices correctly.
There might be other names for those serial ports, but the "COM" file names need special aliases created in the registry.
Some manufacturers fail to add those when they install or initially load the device driver.
Use RegEdit and look for 'SerialPort' or 'Serial Port' and you might find their real names.
So the answer to your quesitons is "Yes, you are right, and the card manufacturer still has some work to do on their device drivers."
---
The problem was solved by using "\\.\COMxx"
In stead of opening "COMxx" (where xx is is the number)
