I have an application written in MFC. The document data of the application contains the File Preview as form of Bitmap.
I show the File Preview in the File Open dialog of my application.
Now I want to enhance this to show the Thumbnail File Preview when the user selects the File in Windows Explorer. This is similar to what the .BMP & .JPEG File does. How can I make the OS aware and as to where the OS can look the File Preview in the File.
Thanks

"thumbnail preview" is based on .HTT template and a preview activeX. There's a good article on MSDN about this. Have a look to "More Windows 2000 UI Goodies: Extending Explorer Views by Customizing Hypertext Template Files" , msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0600/w2kui2/w2kui2.asp

Thanks Karl.
I shall investigate & let you know after I have implemented it.

ok I have a pointer to a COblist
CObList* m_Unsorted_Members = GetDocument()->Get_Unsorted();
and im inserting members of the class State. The State Class is inherited from CObject since CObList only takes CObject type.
Container = new State(Name, Loc, pop, area);
m_Bookmark = m_Unsorted_Members->AddTail(Container);
all is good
however when I try and retrieve a member from the list
State* pObject = m_Unsorted_Members->GetAt(m_Bookmark);
I get an error saying that it cant convert from type CObject* to State*
Why is GetAt(m_Bookmark) not returning the same type that I inserted and instead is returning the base class?
thanks in advance,
Eric

Ok I just fixed my own problem (about 2 min after I wrote this post of course)
needed to add
State* pObject = (State*) m_Unsorted_Members->GetAt(m_Bookmark);
Is that extra code converting from base class to child class? I dont exactly understand the functionality of it.
Either way code works now

Instead of using CObList directly, you should use CTypedPtrList to make the list typesafe. You can put any pointer which is derived from CObject into a CObList. You also need to cast the value when you take it out of a CObList (which again could lead to errors if the actual pointer is not the type that you are casting it to).
To use CTypedPtrList to contain pointers to State objects, you can declare it as follows:
CTypedPtrList<CObList,State *> stateList;
This list works the same as CObList, except that you can only put State * objects into the list, and any objects you get from the list are State * objects.
So, this works:
m_Bookmark = stateList.AddTail( new State(Name,Loc,pop,area) );
And, this works:
State *pObject = stateList.GetAt( m_Bookmark ); // note: no cast
Best regards,
John

Thanks for your response. The reason I chose not to make the list typesafe is because I am under the impression that it is more dificult to perform serialization on lists of it is a CTypedPtrList. This is my first time performing serialization using MFC's DOC/VIEW structure as opposed to straight writing to text files.
Was my information correct or is serialization identical for both types of lists?

You should have no problems with serialization of CTypedPtrList. It is a simple wrapper class for whatever list type is passed as the first argument. Since CObList is being passed as the first argument, it supports serialization the same way as CObList. If you passed a CPtrList as the first argument, it wouldn't support serialization, as serialization isn't supported by CPtrList.
Best regards,
John

stands for Object Linking and Embedding. is a COM based technology and a precursor for activex technology. the older version of OLE which was first used to embed office documents in other documents(like an Excel sheet in a Word doc) and later eveolved into activex/COM/DCOM.

I am working on a project in CWeb, where I work on a source file foo.w, which is then compiled by a custom build step to produce foo.c, foo.h, and foo.tex. I include foo.c, foo.h, and foo.tex in my project, and use the basic C compiler settings to control the compilation of the .c files and another custom build rule to control the compilation of the documentation foo.tex to foo.pdf.
Here is where I get into trouble. A makefile would have no problem understanding that foo.tex depends on foo.w and that foo.pdf depends on foo.tex, so if foo.w has been changed, a build must FIRST compile foo.w to foo.tex and THEN compile foo.tex to foo.pdf.
I can't seem to get DevStudio to understand this, so when I edit foo.w and hit build, it first compiles foo.tex to foo.pdf and then compiles foo.w to foo.tex!. Any thoughts? This is analogous to things people must also have gone through working with Bison and Flex in DevStudio.

Hi,
Why not create 2 different projects and just have foo.w in one and the other files in the other project. You can then set project dependencies to have the second project (the one with .c,.h and .tex) files to be dependent on the first one. So, when you hit build it will compile the first project (seeing your .w has changed) and then compile the second one (with the newly generated files).
I've never worked with Bison and Flex but this may work..

I developed two activex controls, in two seperate projects. Is there an easy way to combine them, so that when the project builds I get two seperate ocx's.
Thanks in advance...
|

Say your two controls are Actrl and Bctrl
Open the Actrl project.
Select Insert project into workspace from the Project menu.
Choose the Bctrl project.
Select Dependencies from the Project menu.
Check the Bctrl project.
When ever you build Actrl, Bctrl will also be built if it has changed. A Rebuild all will do both.
A variation of this is to create a wrapper project and add both controls to it.

I am currently storing many separate arrays of different variable types.
ie CArray<cstring, cstring=""> id;
CArray<cstring, cstring=""> address;
CArray<uint, uint=""> type;
CArray<cstring, cstring=""> label;
CArray<lpdispatch, lpdispatch=""> shape;
CArray<cstring, cstring=""> mapno;
When I delete an item, I have to delete it from all other arrays.
I would like to store one array of all the items.
How would I define this: as a class or a struct?
Would I then use CArray<class, class=""> to store the collection? 
Thank you for any help.

You'd do better to use std::vector because it is inherently superior to CArray, which was written only to be a stopgap until vector arrived. Check out my article on vector here on CP.

Thanxs,
now it works !
I hate it, if I do not have control of the program sequence.
