I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no. You definitely cannot do it through the VS interface.
The problem is the MSI package is basically a database, and all files must have unique keys as well as attributes assigned. The file keys must also be assigned as secondary keys to other keyed tables like the Components table. So it is not a simple process.
InstallShield may still provide a drag and drop capability - the pre MSI versions did.
You can write an external app that populates MSI tables through APIs, but it would definitely be a non-trivial task to create. Much harder than manually adding the files...
You could also write a custom action that simply extracted all files from a given CAB and copy them to a target directory. But you would also have to provide custom actions for how, and when to remove this files in case of an uninstall, since the MSI itself would not have the set of information it needed to be able to handle for this.
Also non-trivial, at least to do it right.
Sorry,
Robert

This probably is not the best forum to post this type of questions. But to give a quick answer, submit your web site to all the search engines out there. Add links to your website on other peoples website.
Good luck. it may take a month before you see any results...unless your willing to pay for quicker action.

Are there any way to Save/Restore appearance scheme from C++ code ?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure what "appearance scheme" is, but applications generally put configuration-related data in the registry.

What would cause DrawDragRect to draw black square?
It's suppose to disappear if you draw over the same square twice but some how I am getting black square and I don't know what's causing it. I am using pretty much the same code I used for OnMouseMove(which works fine), the only difference is I changed how deltaPt behave.
dc.DrawDragRect(pLink->GetRc(moving[1]-1)-ScrollClip, bdry, pLink->GetRc(moving[1]-1)-ScrollClip, bdry, NULL, NULL);
Would cause no square to be drawn
dc.DrawDragRect(pLink->GetRc(moving[1]-1)-ScrollClip, bdry, pLink->GetRcLast(moving[1]-1)-ScrollClip-deltaPt, bdry, NULL, NULL);
Would cause a delay on clearing up. Show two square when I scroll down.
In both cases I would suspect my code would work. I am out of ideas what else to test for.
Here is my code
BOOL CEditView::OnMouseWheel(UINT nFlags, short zDelta, CPoint pt){
CClientDC dc(this);
CPoint deltaPt = CPoint(0,0);
POSITION pos = 0;
CEditDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
CObList& LinkList = pDoc->GetLinkList();
CPoint ScrollClip;
int MaxScroll;
ScrollClip = GetScrollPosition();
MaxScroll = GetScrollLimit(SB_VERT);
if(zDelta < 0 && (ScrollClip.y < MaxScroll)) {
deltaPt = CPoint(0, 63);
} else if (zDelta > 0 && ScrollClip.y > 0) {
deltaPt = CPoint(0, -63);
} else {
deltaPt = CPoint(0, 0);
}
CString test;
if(moving[1]){
pos=LinkList.FindIndex(moving[0]-1);
CLink* pLink = (CLink*) LinkList.GetAt(pos);
pLink->OffsetRc(moving[1]-1, deltaPt);
dc.DrawDragRect(pLink->GetRc(moving[1]-1)-ScrollClip, bdry, pLink->GetRcLast(moving[1]-1)-ScrollClip, bdry, NULL, NULL);
pLink->EqualRc(moving[1]-1);
}
return CScrollView::OnMouseWheel(nFlags, zDelta, pt);
}

Hello,
I am creating a dll in which I simply want to export a class.
When creating the dll I noticed in the .cpp file that is default created by VC and which has the InitInstance inside, the following comment:
// Note!
//
// If this DLL is dynamically linked against the MFC
// DLLs, any functions exported from this DLL which
// call into MFC must have the AFX_MANAGE_STATE macro
// added at the very beginning of the function.
// ......
etc...
Does that mean that in each member function of the class which I want to export I`ll need to add that macro?
Why isn^t it present in the default InitInstance function?
And what`s the use of that InitInstance function anyway? I created the dll and debugged it and put a breakpoint in tthe InitInstance function, but it was never called. The theApp object of the dll was never instantiated either, but none the less I used an exported class from that dll in another app.
Thx for any help you might give.
Friendly regards,
Davy

The AFX_MANAGE_STATE() macro is needed because MFC will use resource templates from the main/owning application by default. If your exported function needs a resource in the DLL, you need to switch the module state for the correct resource template to be used.

I have written a callback function in a DLL written in VC++ to call back to an application written in VB, everything works fine in debug build, but when i build the executable in VB it crashes when the program tries to call a fuction to the DLL while still in the callback function from the DLL
The vb is as :
Public Sub cbFunction(ByVal nEvent As Long, ByVal sData As String)
the address of the function is passed to the dll as :
NRInitialise(AddressOf cbFunction)
I need to be able to call the dll whilst in the call back function...
Any ideas ???
Cheers

Hello
char array[5] = {'H','E','L','L','O'};<br />
this->textBox1->Text = array;
(This works, even without appending '\0' at the end)
Is there a way to display integers directly, without first convert them to strings.(So far I used the sprintf function)

not unless the control has a specific method for displaying integers. most only have methods to display strings.

I have an MFC extension DLL (uses MFC dynamically) and I use it from my MFC exe (uses MFC dynamically). I have a class that derives from one of the classes defined in the extension DLL.
Unfortunately I keep getting this linker error ;-(
MyClass.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: static struct AFX_MSGMAP const CMyClass::messageMap" (?messageMap@CMyClass@@1UAFX_MSGMAP@@B)
Anyone knows what's causing this?

p.s. I did a fair bit of googling but none of the search results solved the issue ;-(

i tried all the wizards and samples but didn't find one.
(its alot diffrent from doing Add-In to visual studio 6)
does anyone can direct me to a source or tell me some hints on this subject?
thanks in advance,
Avi.

Hi,
I get this runtime error
Unhandled exception at 0x7c59bbf3 in NewMumsEngine.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::out_of_range @ 0x016c605c.
when I try to execute this line
sVarData = m_pElement[iPos].sValue.substr(iIndex+1);
where
sVarData is of string type.
m_pElement[iPos] is an object of a structure
sValue is another string variable in the same structure.
Can anyone please explain this error to me and tell me how to remove it.Any suggestions please?
thanks,
Arjun.

First guess - the error is 'out of range', so is iIndex + 1 greater than the size of sValue, or is iPos greater than or equal to the number of elements ?

Hello,
How can i disable minimised, maximized and restore button
of my window. My requirement is to keep window and dialogBox
always in maximized position. And do not let user change its
size.

in the resource editor, specify the related dialog property... (right click the dialog title bar - for example - > Properties > check the right check box....)

You have to uncheck the 'System Menu' checkbox in the properties of your dialog (in the 'styles' tab).
If you use the MFC framework and if you have a SDI application, to remove these buttons on the main window, you need to add these lines at the end of InitInstance (from your App class):
m_pMainWnd->ModifyStyle(WS_SYSMENU, NULL);<br />
m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);<br />

If requiring Office to be installed on target PC is OK, check COM.
Otherwise there are 3rd party suppliers for libraries reading various formats. Search for "xls text conversion" etc.
I can recommend wordcnv.com[^] for Word conversion, I have used it without problems.
