you have to associate the file extention with your program... for that you have to change entry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in registry

Hi,
once i associate the the file extension, which function will be called if i open the file in explorer?

I mean, for example, my program is Program.exe, and the file is file.zzz. I associate the files *.zzz to my program, and if i open it in explorer, which function in my program will it be called?? OnOpen() etc?? Do i have to add an event handler?

THanks,
Usman

If you have created SDI/MDI based application, Document/view architecture will handle it for you! you have to overide OnOpen Function (I forget the actual Handller or Function D'Oh! | :doh:

)

To complete the answer of Alok, in fact what really happen is that your program is called with the name of the file passed as command line argument. But, like Alok said, if it is a SDI or MDI app, the framework will handle all the job for you (it will call automatically the serialize methods thus loading the file). But of course, you have to implement the loading,saving of data in the serialize handlers.

I didn't get your question exactly. if you are trying to change the title of the application take the handle of the dialog and using SetWindowText() function you can change the name of the exe.
give me some more information about your problem.

The sample u mentioned has got complete code for changing the CompanyName. I have used this code myself. You just need to understand it fully before using and yes, dont forget to compile your application as unicode to do this. It wont work without that. I am just pasting a snippet of code here from the same article which does this.

CString strSubBlock;
LPTSTR  pValueBuffer;

strSubBlock.Format(_T("\\StringFileInfo\\%04x%04x\\CompanyName"),
                   lpTranslate->wLanguage, 
                   lpTranslate->wCodePage);

VerQueryValue(lpBuffer, (LPTSTR) ((LPCTSTR) strSubBlock), 
           (LPVOID *) &pValueBuffer, &uTemp);

ZeroMemory(pValueBuffer, _tcslen(pValueBuffer) * sizeof(TCHAR));
_tcscpy(pValueBuffer, _T("My Company, Inc."));

And yes, this Article is by one of the most respected members here. Mr. David Crow Rose | [Rose]

Thank you,Aamir Butt!
Yes,i use like that you write, but how can i use UpdateResource function whit the variable 'pValueBuffer'?
This is my code:

CString strSubBlock;
LPTSTR pValueBuffer;

strSubBlock.Format(_T("\\StringFileInfo\\%04x%04x\\FileDescription"),
lpTranslate->wLanguage,lpTranslate->wCodePage);
VerQueryValue(lpBuffer, (LPTSTR) ((LPCTSTR) strSubBlock),
(LPVOID *) &pValueBuffer, &uTemp);

ZeroMemory(pValueBuffer, _tcslen(pValueBuffer) * sizeof(TCHAR));
_tcscpy(pValueBuffer, _T("My Company, Inc."));

if (UpdateResource(hResource, RT_VERSION, MAKEINTRESOURCE(VS_VERSION_INFO), lpTranslate->wLanguage, lpBuffer, dwSize) != FALSE)
{
if (EndUpdateResource(hResource, FALSE) == FALSE)
dwResult = GetLastError();
}
else
dwResult = GetLastError();

But it does not replace the original companyname with "My Company, Inc." finally,perhaps where is wrong, can you help me? thanks a lot!

Why would you expect it to? You called UpdateResource() with lpBuffer instead of pValueBuffer.

winsock.h conflicting with winsock2.h

newbie534517-Nov-05 20:02

17-Nov-05 20:02

I am a bit of a newbie and tend to take on projects that are over my head. Anyway, my problem is that I am trying to include header files from one program to another, and commands for winsock are causing an ambiguity in the compilation. The host program compiles fine until I #include stdafx.h which also includes the following (syntax modified because include files not showing up on forum):

#include afxwin.h // MFC core and standard components
#include afxext.h // MFC extensions
#include afxdisp.h // MFC Automation classes
#include afxdtctl.h // MFC support for Internet Explorer 4
#ifndef _AFX_NO_AFXCMN_SUPPORT
#include afxcmn.h // MFC support for Windows Common Controls

I tried to track down the instance of winsock in these afx files to change it (can I do that since the winsock 1 & 2 look almost identical?), but the includes are just compounding.

Does anyone know where I can find the instance of winsock.h in the afx headers? Or maybe there's an easier fix for this? Thank you for any help!

In stdafx.h, before all the #include's add:

#define  _WINSOCKAPI_    // prevent inclusion of winsock.h in windows.h

Then later on, if you need it, you can add:

#include <winsock2.h>    // for WSAOVERLAPPED

XML Serialization of CollectionBase

(Steven Hicks)ⁿ⁺¹17-Nov-05 19:02

(Steven Hicks)ⁿ⁺¹

17-Nov-05 19:02

[typeof(MC++)]
If I have a class that inherits from CollectionBase...
and I have an default accessor: Item

__property Object * get_Item(int index)
{
return List->Item[index];
}

How can I get this to serialize as another object (the only one I'm using for this collection)
I've tried changing what is returned, and it breaks when trying to access and claims the class is violating ICollection....
When i use:
[XmlInclude(__typeof(Vehicle))]

The compiler claims:
The type Vehicle was not expected. Use the XmlInclude or SoapInclude attribute to specify types that are not known static

The vehicle class is labeled serializeable.

This is my hooks code

uMsgOk = RegisterWindowMessage("FILEOKSTRING");
g_OpnHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROC ,(HOOKPROC)SetHook,AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
NULL);

LRESULT CALLBACK SetHook( int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
{
LPOPENFILENAME ofn;
if ( nCode == HC_ACTION )
{
CWPSTRUCT* pwp = (CWPSTRUCT*)lParam;
if (pwp->message == uMsgOk)

ofn = (LPOPENFILENAME)pwp->wParam;

although i am able to trap the FILEOKSTRING message the lParam value is NULL .

Static linking

Hello all,

Could anyone explain how to link a library statically into an executable in Visual C++ .NET?

My problem is that I'm compiling against library (.lib) files, but I do not have the corresponding (.dll) files. The compilation works fine, but when I attempt to run the application, it falls over as it is not able to find the .dll. It is my understanding that if I statically link the required parts from the .lib files into the executable, it will have everything it needs at run-time and will not go off looking for the .dll. I've looked around the compiler and linker settings within Visual C++ and haven't been able to find anything to make me happy. Googling hasn't produced anything either. Could someone suggest a solution?

Cheers,
Penkov
