Is there any way to compile a simple console application with Visual Studio NET 2003 to run on a machine without NET Framework installed? I'd like the target application to run on any machine, not just those with NET installed.

I'm sure this is a simple thing, but I sure can't find it! Smile | :)

If you used Managed C++, then no, there is no way you can run those applications without the .NET framework.

All I want to do is to create a simple console application, I can't believe it's impossible with VC++ NET.

You will find VC7.1 is there and probably the best solution.

If a "win32" console application,you can do it.
If a ".NET" console application, you can't do it

Problem solved, I don't know how the /clr switch got set in the project, but there it is! Smile | :)

I have an option to make a Win32 Console Application in the New Project Wizard, that's close to what you're looking for. You could try making an empty project, too! Just include the basic dependencies you need.

Thanks, I figured it out. I started over with a basic W32 console application. I have no idea why my original attempt refused to function without NET installed, I started it the same way. Confused | :confused:

You must've either specified a .NET console project, or turned on managed extensions (/clr switch) in your project settings.

Re: line printing charset

As it turns out, the /clr switch was on. I'm not sure how it hapened, since I've been using VC++ 6.0 for a long time, just got started with this version.

line printing charset

I'm trying to print on a dot-matrix printer.
I want to send "raw" ascii characters to the printer (not graphics), in order to avoid the "NLQ" mode (sending raw text is the only way to print without the "NLQ").

I use OpenPrinter, StartDocPrinter, StartPagePrinter, WritePrinter, EndPagePrinter, EndDocPrinter and ClosePrinter.

But spanish characters like "eñe" (ñ Ñ), "cedilla" (ç Ç), spanish accents (á é í ó ú) and the "dieresis u" (ü) are not printed well.

I need to set the spanish charset.

I've also tried the GDI functions (creating a DC with CreateDC("WINSPOOL", printerName, NULL, NULL)), and using the stock font DEVICE_DEFAULT_FONT, but NLQ gets activated.

What else can I do?

You can send raw bytes of th eproper escape sequence to the printer to set it into the Spanish character set and then send those 'character' bytes out to the printer. Should print out fine then.

CDialog derived Child

I have an SDI application with a FormView. The FormView has two buttons. One opens a CDialog derived class that is Modal and a Child.
The other opens a CDialog derived class that is Modeless and a Child.

Everything works fine when the Child style is removed and WS_POPUP is applied.
When it is applied the dialogs open up but are

(Modal and Child)
behind Mainframe with no way to get at it except minimize Mainframe. After the minimization of Mainframe the dialog does not allow one to click on it (Frame titlebar is grayed. I believe the whole dialog box is disabled.

(Modeless and Child
appears but does not allow one to click on it as the Frame titlebar is grayed. I believe the whole dialog box is disabled.

Now understand everything works as it should with the WS_POPUP style. Switch that and I get problems. The ONLY difference is the style. What is wrong?

Thanks.

//Modal Child
void CParentExamplesView::OnButton3()
{
CModalChild cmd;
cmd.DoModal();

}

//Modeless Child
void CParentExamplesView::OnButton4()
{
if (!m_pModelessChildDialog)
m_pModelessChildDialog= new CModelessChild;

if (!::IsWindow(m_pModelessChildDialog->GetSafeHwnd()))
m_pModelessChildDialog->Create(IDD_DIALOG6, this);

m_pModelessChildDialog->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

}

Dialogs SHOULD have parents!

CModalChild cmd;
cmd.DoModal(this);

m_pModelessChildDialog= new CModelessChild(this);

So give THAT a try.

Thanks,

DoModal() doesn't take any parameters

The modeless example IS passing in the parent.

Regardless if you don't pass in any parents the mainframe is the owner.

Still no answers.

So why are you not wanting to use WS_POPUP? You've not indicated that you would rather use WS_CHILD. All I can gather is that you've found something that works and want to know why.

Actually..

I found something that didn't work and wanted to know why. This is how I learn. I have no need to use the dialog as a child in modal or modeless...yet, but knowing why something does and doesn't work is paramount in continuing my growth as a programmer. I realize most people just solve a problem and blindly move on never really gaining from the experience. Solidifying concepts is what I'm trying to do. I really hoped people wouldn't constantly ask why I want to do this or that. My question was not a should or shouldn't but rather a why. I appreciate your taking the time to answer though.

Really? When I read your post, it's easy to come away with a different impression. Consider, "I'm trying to drive a nail into a board with a hammer. Now understand everything works as it should with the nail. Switch that to a screw instead and I get problems. What is wrong?" Or, "I'm trying to drive my car with round tires. Now understand everything works as it should with the round tires. Switch that to out-of-round tires instead and I get problems. What is wrong?" See the confusion?

While I certainly understand and applaud your situation, what I have found over the years is that when folks get stuck and ask for help, it is usually because they are doing something wrong (at the design level) that should never have been done to begin with. This is especially true with MFC. Most folks, especially new ones, have no idea what MFC is doing behind the scenes. They've learned it from the outside-in rather than from the inside-out. Knowing what the underlying Win32 SDK is actually doing is very important in making a successful application. Consequently they make erroneous assumptions (e.g., "But I thought message maps worked this way."), thus leading to a situation where they are trying to solve a problem that was doomed from the start.

That said, MSDN clearly states:

Do not use the WS_CHILD style with a modal dialog box. The DialogBox function always disables the parent/owner of the newly created dialog box. When a parent window is disabled, its child windows are implicitly disabled. Since the parent window of the child-style dialog box is disabled, the child-style dialog box is too.

And by stating the MSDN position you have answered the why! Thanks, that's all I wanted. Now I know not to do it and am richer for having asked. If I had known MSDN's position, which I was not able to locate in any of the help, I never would have asked in the first place.

Obviously not, but the question is not how to read a file ... Maybe you need that I was more specific:
1st. Open the file.
2nd. Read each line putting it in a string.
3rd. Process the string using strtok to separate it by commas.

Is strtok useful now ? Poke tongue | ;-P
