Thanks Ravi,
I'd seen GetFileTime on VC6 but it only talked about WinCE !
I checked again at home where I have .NET2002 after your reply and it listed NT/2000/XP too. Odd Sniff | :^)

I have the following problem :

I have written a MDI Application opening and reading files of type *.myapp

I have made a file association with my application and when a user clicks a file with the extension *.myapp my application starts but does not load the file.

I know I have to read the parameters the shell passes to my program, but I do not know how. And I do not know for which event I should write a handler.

Did you use AppWizard for this?

In visual studio .net ver 2003 in reguards to c++ my multiplication is messed up. I get a result of 0 when I try and multiply the following. What's wrong?

#include "stdafx.h"

#using <mscorlib.dll>
#include "math.h"

using namespace System;

int _tmain()
{
__int64 p;

p= 16 * 268435456;

Console::WriteLine(p);
return 0;
}

I assume that the WriteLine() method supports a __int64 type. What is the largest value (e.g., 2³¹) that you can successfully send to WriteLine()?

The number I am multipling with 16 is the highest number for the output.

Re: C++ multiplication

David Crow28-Apr-05 4:20

David Crow

28-Apr-05 4:20

If 2²⁸ is the highest number for the output, what does outputting 2²⁸ + 1 produce? If that does not work, I would expect 2³² to fail as well. Yes?

That indicates that you are running into a signed/unsigned problem. What does this yield:

The compiler is telling you exactly what's wrong "integral constant overflow". That expression overflows the capacity of an int. You need to specify that the constants are 64-bit ints:

p = 16I64 * 268435456I64;

Thanks Mike. I was aware of L and U but did not know about the I64 modifier.

That worked great. However is there a way I can use exponents with the 64-bit int's?

hide or remove toolbar buttons?

Sean McKinnon28-Apr-05 3:53

I'm sure there is something simple and obvious that I am missing here, maybe somebody can help me?

I have a toolbar that gets initialized from a toolbar resource (one big bitmap with all images in it).

The toolbar is customizable (using standard dialog), so that when the dialog is displayed, you get a list of all the buttons available on the left, and a list of all the buttons currently on the toolbar on the right.

The buttons on the left and right together are all of the buttons available in the toolbar resource bitmap.

In some cases, I would like to exclude some buttons in the toolbar resource bitmap from being displayed as available (i.e. remove them from the left list).

When the list is populated, you get messages that let you say whether the button is available, but the first time you say no, it stops asking about the remaining buttons.

Like I said, there must be something simple I am missing.

Thanks for you help!

Wouldn't it be easier to just enable/diasble the buttons? If not, then you'll probably need to create multiple toolbars (one for each situation).

Yes, it would be easier, and I do that in other circumstances.

My problem is that I have a single application that talks (serial or ethernet) to several different versions/types of hardware. The application automatically configures itself to the capabilities and resources of the attached hardware. (It is a user-interface for status monitoring and configuation of the hardware).

The application has always removed menu items for features that the attached hardware cannot support, and disabled menu items for features that the hardware could support, but that are not currently enabled. This works fine for menu items.

The toolbar used to be fixed (and only included items that were supported on all hardware platforms). Now, we've added customizable toolbars, so I now have buttons for features that may not be supported on various hardware platforms. I can (and do) still disable toolbar buttons for features that are supported but not enabled (and I also do this for toolbar buttons for features that are not supported at all, but would really prefer to hide/remove these buttons like I do for menu items).

Creating multiple toolbars for all the possible configurations would be a nightmare for sure.

I guess this isn't as easy as I had hoped for?

Thanks - Sean

If you are using MFC:

CToolBar tb;
tb.GetToolBarCtrl().HideButton(ID_CONNECT, TRUE);
tb.GetToolBarCtrl().HideButton(ID_DISCONNECT, FALSE);

also (from MSDN):
Customizing a Toolbar
A toolbar has built-in customization features that you can make available to the user by giving the toolbar the CCS_ADJUSTABLE common control style. The customization features allow the user to drag a button to a new position or to remove a button by dragging it off the toolbar. In addition, the user can double-click the toolbar to display the Customize Toolbar dialog box, which allows the user to add, delete, and rearrange toolbar buttons. To display the dialog box, use the TB_CUSTOMIZE message. An application determines whether the customization features are available to the user and controls the extent to which the user can customize the toolbar.

As part of the customization process, applications often need to save and restore a toolbar's state. For instance, many applications store the toolbar state before the user begins customizing the toolbar in case the user later wants to restore the toolbar to its original state. The toolbar control does not automatically keep a record of its precustomization state. Your application must save the toolbar state in order to restore it. For more information, see Customizing Toolbars and Using Hot-tracking with Toolbars.

Thanks for the reply!

I am using MFC, and the HideButton method works for hiding buttons on the Toolbar in the MainFrame, but does not work when showing the customization dialog. When the customization dialog is shown, hidden buttons ARE shown in the right-hand list (populated buttons), but are shown with grey text (indicating they are hidden/disabled). ALL buttons not already in the toolbar are shown in the left-hand list (available buttons).

I need to be able to prevent buttons in the toolbar resource from showing up in both the available and populated button lists on the customize dialog. (i.e. make it look like the button does not exist at all).

During the building of the customization dialog lists, there are messages sent that query whether a button should be included, but if you indicate that it should not, then the process stops right there, and no more queries are sent for buttons that follow that one in the resource. (i.e. the first time you say "No" to a button, it aborts the queries for any remaining buttons).

I thought there might be a way to either respond differently to the message, respond to a different message that I am unaware of, or get access to the dialog lists and manually remove the unwanted items before the dialog is displayed.

Thanks again,

Sean

Then i expect you will have to manually add/delete buttons after you create the toolbar from the resource. Once deleted the buttons should not show in either the left or right cutomization lists.

The problem is you are trying to impliment 2-level customization support and the built-in toolbar customization only supports 1-level. You will have to code the wrapping customization level.
