Re: Removing metadata from MS Office documents

The office documents are OLE Compound Documents. You'll need to use the IPropertyStorage interface.

If you search for IPropertyStorage on Google and MSDN, you should find some examples.

Hi Michael,

thanks for your reply! With the following links I figured out how to get and set the properties of office documents like author, title, comment or company:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/186898/en-us[^]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/stg/stg/the_documentsummaryinformation_and_userdefined_property_sets.asp[^]

So the first (and minor point) on my list of wishes is done. But as far as I can see I cannot edit the major metadata of office document's like track changes, hidden text, deleted text or previous versions with the IPropertyStorage interface. Check out for example the ezClean[^] tool that does all this pretty stuff. Does anybody have a clue how to do this?

int to string for TextOut

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

Im working on a project in C++ using the GDI; with WinMain and all that.

For one bit of it, im using TextOut to display some text, but I also want to display an integer that will change. So TextOut will appear as follows:

<br />
int name;<br />
<br />
TextOut(hdc,x,y,"text",strlen("text");

"text" is technically an 'address of string to print'

How do I display the contents of name using TextOut?

Before using the stringstreams method is suggested, ive already tried that and my compiler isnt having it, and changing my compiler isnt an option.

Use sprintf() to write the integer to a string, or CString::Format() if you're using MFC.

Look Like you are using Win 32 api based Project.

Here is the way to display the content of name variable

int nName=4; 

<font color=#00ff00>//buffer for holding the Integer </font>
char szBuffer[20];

<font color=#00ff00>//now to display
//copy the integer into string</font>
 sprintf(szBuffer,"%d",nName);
<font color=#00ff00> //Display it</font>
TextOut(hdc,x,y,szBuffer,strlen(szBuffer));

or in place of sprintf you can use itoa() too (which convert interger to string)

use the delete button when post post the same message twice.
secondly, use #008000 green's color instead of your #00FF00

Is there is any way to hide the DOS window that
shows when system command is executed.
system("Dir/ar>File.txt");
lists the readonly files to the file.txt.
Is it possible to use ShellExecute ?.if so what is the syntax?.I tried using cmd.exe with shellexecute but
seems that cmd.exe doesnt takes parameter.

Why not use FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() instead of the antiquated system() call? You'll be much better off.

I have a proyect based on Chatsrv/chatter samples on Visual C++ 6.0. My surprise comes from the fact that the same proyect compiled on Visual C++.NET fails when receiving data for a short time. That is, for some time, I get the data through the socket but suddenly and with no exception catched, I give up receiving data WTF | :WTF:

. Just in case it can turn out to be a clue, this communication is unidirectional, that is, I get the data from a monitor connection to a certain port.

If your 'set' is too fuzzy, shave 'em. Just try not to hurt yourself.

If that's not what you mean, try to explain yourself a little better.

MFC - Dual Interface

Is there a conveinient way to give an MFC ActiveX control a dual interface?
(Don't ask, COM+MFC makes me shudder enough already, but I need to wrap an MFC control)

TN65 describes a way, but basically everything has to be done twice.

Display Raw Image on the fly

24-Jan-05 5:02

Hi all,
I am capturing an image through a camera. The camera returns a pointer to a two dimensional array of pixels. How can I go about displaying these pixels into MFC? (Just like a webcam or a camera with an LCD does)

I have read tutorials on displaying .bmp using CBitmap ... However, will MFC understands the raw image file (no header, each pixel has 8bit grayscale).

I appreciate all of your help.

Thanks,
Beou

There used to be a version of MFC for that platform. I do not know if that is still the case, however. Check Microsoft's site.
