1. barcode is drawn by lines (space and bar), why does it need font? font is useless when we draw lines.

See here.

2. what is correct width of bar or space? - i.e. 0.2 mm etc.

A barcode is comprised of bars and spaces. I believe the leftmost bar, which is one unit wide, sets the stage for the remaining bars and spaces.

3. what is correct height of barcode?

I believe it is governed by the product on which the barcode is placed. For example, a large box can afford to have a large barcode where as box of cookies could not. Another determining factor is how far will the scanner be from the box.

I'm writing an application, where I need to save links to external documents (.xls, .doc, .txt, ...). In Windows, when I double-click to such a file, it'll be opened automatically by the corresponding application.

double-click to test.xls opens Microsoft Excel
double-click to test.doc opens Microsoft Word
double-click to test.tif opens the corresponding graphical application
and so on...

How can I implement this functionality in my application, working under Visual C++ / MFC ?

a type of file (extension) is associated with an application.
u can find all info about this in system register (run regedit.exe).

e.g. doc file can be opened by Microsoft word.

A nice tool for optimizing your Microsoft html-help contents.

Use ShellExecute() with the "open" verb will open the associated application.

Otherwise, if you are wanting to know how to register your own file type, this is handled for you automatically by MFC's AppWizard. It will create a .reg file in your project that can be merged on the target machine. Check out CWinApp::EnableShellOpen() and CWinApp::RegisterShellFileTypes().

Hi, I'm searching for a few days now for a tutorial of an example to see all the computers that are in my lan.
Does anybody has this for me?

Try NetServerEnum().

I have this code, but it seems Visual Studio .Net has trouble with WNetOpenEnum, WNetEnumRecources and WNetCloseEnum.

	CString strTemp;<br />
	CListBox *pList = (CListBox*) GetDlgItem(IDC_LIST1);<br />
	pList->ResetContent();<br />
<br />
	struct hostent *host;	<br />
	struct in_addr *ptr;	// To retrieve the IP Address<br />
<br />
 	DWORD dwScope = RESOURCE_CONTEXT;<br />
	NETRESOURCE *NetResource = NULL;	<br />
	HANDLE hEnum;	<br />
	WNetOpenEnum( dwScope, NULL, NULL, NULL, &hEnum );	<br />
	<br />
	WSADATA wsaData;  <br />
	WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1,1),&wsaData);<br />
<br />
	if ( hEnum )	<br />
	{<br />
		DWORD Count = 0xFFFFFFFF;<br />
		DWORD BufferSize = 2048;<br />
		LPVOID Buffer = new char[2048];<br />
		WNetEnumResource( hEnum, &Count, Buffer, &BufferSize );<br />
<br />
		NetResource = (NETRESOURCE*)Buffer;<br />
<br />
		char szHostName[200];<br />
<br />
		for ( unsigned int i = 0; i < BufferSize/sizeof(NETRESOURCE); i++, NetResource++ )<br />
		{	<br />
			if ( NetResource->dwUsage == RESOURCEUSAGE_CONTAINER && NetResource->dwType == RESOURCETYPE_ANY )<br />
			{<br />
				if ( NetResource->lpRemoteName )<br />
				{<br />
					CString strFullName = NetResource->lpRemoteName;<br />
					<br />
					if ( 0 == strFullName.Left(2).Compare("\\\\") )<br />
						strFullName = strFullName.Right(strFullName.GetLength()-2);<br />
<br />
					gethostname( szHostName, strlen( szHostName ) );<br />
					host = gethostbyname(strFullName);<br />
					ptr = (struct in_addr *) host->h_addr_list[0];<br />
<br />
					int a = ptr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b1;  // Eg. 211.40.35.76 split up like this.<br />
					int b = ptr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b2;  //     40<br />
					int c = ptr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b3;  //     35<br />
					int d = ptr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b4;  //     76<br />
<br />
					strTemp.Format("%s -->  %d.%d.%d.%d",strFullName,a,b,c,d);<br />
					pList->AddString(strTemp);<br />
				}<br />
			}<br />
		}<br />
		delete Buffer;<br />
		WNetCloseEnum( hEnum );<br />
	}<br />
	WSACleanup();

This is code I've used successfully in the past:

WSADATA       wsaData;
DWORD         dwResult,
              dwCount = 0xffffffff,
              dwBufferSize = 16384;
HANDLE        hEnum;
LPVOID        lpBuffer;
LPNETRESOURCE lpNetResource = NULL; 
 
dwResult = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1, 1), &wsaData);
if (0 == dwResult)
{
    dwResult = WNetOpenEnum(RESOURCE_CONTEXT, RESOURCETYPE_ANY, NULL, NULL, &hEnum);
    if (NO_ERROR == dwResult && NULL != hEnum)
    {
        lpBuffer = new BYTE[dwBufferSize];
 
        dwResult = WNetEnumResource(hEnum, &dwCount, lpBuffer, &dwBufferSize);
        if (NO_ERROR == dwResult && dwCount > 0)
        {
            lpNetResource = (LPNETRESOURCE) lpBuffer; 

            while (NULL != lpNetResource)
            {
                ...
                lpNetResource++;
            }
        }
 
        delete [] lpBuffer;
    }
 
    dwResult = WSACleanup();
}

Thanks for the code, but again thesame. I get these errors:

wchat_t to normal char

Hi All,

I have an utility programme that uses wchar_t. However interfacing to our programme which uses char's is a problem.

How does one convert to wchar_t to char, and visa versa?

Rich

Hello.

I am setting up a C console application under VS.net. I have various printf statements. If some type of error condition occurs I would like to change the color of the text to RED that the printf statement prints to the console.

I dont know how to change the colors for this situation.
Can someone help me with this?
