Right-clicking a button is not very intuitive. What exactly is it that you are trying to do?

Create a new class and inheriate the CButton class...

class CMyButton : public CButton
{
. . .
}

Then capture on the WM_RBUTTONDOWN message. Using the wizard for VC6.0 and the properties for VS2003.

In there do what you need to do.

Hope this helps.

No you have to make you own class derived from CButton!

Don't you think MS already make you life easy by providing Inheritance to there proprietary classes

I need to read a data file using C++, it's a data file that contains a row of column headers before the actual data. I need C++ to remove the header and re-print just the data into a new data file. Any suggestions?

Are you using MFC? If so, then the following snippet should (it's untested) work for you:

CStdioFile in(<code>""</code>, CFile::modeRead), out(<code>""</code>, CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeCreate);
CString strLine;
in.ReadString(strLine);
while (in.ReadString(strLine))
    out.WriteString(strLine);
in.Close();
out.Close();
CFile::Remove(in.GetFilePath());
CFile::Rename(in.GetFilePath(), out.GetFilePath());

A slightly harder-to-read, but more efficient, approach would look like:

CFile in(<code>""</code>, CFile::modeRead), out(<code>""</code>, CFile::modeWrite | CFile::modeCreate);
char c;
LPSTR pBuffer;
DWORD dwLength = in.GetLength();    
 
do
{
    in.Read(&c, 1);
    dwLength--;
} while (c != 0x0a);
 
pBuffer = new char[dwLength];
in.Read(pBuffer, dwLength);
out.Write(pBuffer, dwLength);
delete [] pBuffer;
 
// close, delete, and rename here

Use iostreams. MFC file reading is crap.
You just want to read the first line and discard it, then read and keep the rest ? Use getline, an ifstream and an ofstream ( or a stringstream to read the file, then write it to the same file in a seperate operation ). I've written articles on this here on CP, you should have no trouble finding them.

Im confused about how to create a C++ constructor that uses the current time from the time() function that will declare in the C++ standard library header to initialize the object of the Time class. Im a newbie at this can you guys give me a few pointers

Something like:

class MyTimeClass
{
public:
    MyTimeClass()
    {
        time(&t);
    }

private:
    time_t t;
};

Hi i have tried utilities like Dumpbin, OLEview, DEPENDS but we only get the function names. Is there any way to know the prototype of a function exported by a DLL.

I dont think that is possible so let the idea of using undocumented api go.

There are really only two ways. One is to have the .h file with the prototypes defined, and the other is to guess (trial/error/reboot).

onwards and upwards...

If you are good at reverse engineering, you can try to find a call to that function. Than look at the sthings that are pushed onto the stack. That should give you an idea about how many variables are used by the api. There is one catch though, you don't know what the variables types are, nor do you know what they are used for.

I don't know why you need to do that, but if you're planning to use undocumented api's, I can only say that you should not! They are not documented for a reason. The could be subject to change, or complete removal, so in the long run, it will break your program.

compiled file size

I have a script that I have compiled on two different computers. On one the file size is 500kB, and on the other 1.23MB. Both were compiled with DEV C++. They both seem quite large given the script. Can anybody explain this. I should explain I am a beginner. The script is:-

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;

int GetDir(char* dPath) {

WIN32_FIND_DATA FileData;
HANDLE hFile;
hFile = FindFirstFile(dPath,&FileData);

if ( INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE == hFile ) {
cout << "No files" << endl;
return false;
}

for ( ;; ) {
cout << FileData.cFileName << endl;
if ( 0 == FindNextFile(hFile, &FileData ) )
break;
}
return true;
}

int main() {
GetDir("*.jpg");

system("PAUSE");
return true;
}

Paul

Making App Windows Larger Than Desktop?

Is it possible to make an application window that is larger than the desktop? Does Windows allow this? Or must I use the GDI to do this? Wouldn't the GDI just make an image of the app window without the true functionality inside? Thanks.

I tried that.

I use the getcursor position func and to get the handle of an app window above my mouse cursor. For testing I used the calculator app. I called the api to increase the size. Strangely the width increased, but not the height. The width never increased greater than the width of the actual desktop. I call MoveWindow(mywindow, 0, 0, (width * 100), (height * 100), TRUE). I've tried setting the x,y position to be the center of the screen. It will draw the app window; half on screen half off screen. However, the total window size is never greater than the desktop size.

Sorry if this is a repost
