The Dump and AssertValid (as well as TRACE and ASSERT) are used in Debug versions of your app so that you can track down bugs while you're programming the application. They are used to catch logic errors etc, NOT runtime errors such as not being able to write to a file because its locked or something.
Hope that helps,
Andrew.

Hi,
I'm trying to make Word (winword/MS word) like auto-complete of keywords while editing in rich edit control. Eg: When you type "Janu" in microsoft Word, a small yellow pop up (like tool tip)comes above "Janu", containing text "January" and now if I press enter or tab key the text Janu is auto-completed to January.
Any pointers on how to implement this in my CRichEditView will be highly appreciated.

I want to enter Month and Date only in date field. No year. But Access 2000 puts year in the field by itself. 
I read an article on MS site that this is a default functionality in Access2000. There should be an option to check this functionality off.
I am using VC++. I get records from Access and put them in a grid. Since the Datagrid 6.0 control is bound to the db, it displays the year too. I am sorting data on date, so I cant change the field to "Text" type.
I dont want the year to be there. How do I save month and date only in mdb file?
HELLLLPPP!!!

you must remember that access (and most db's i know of) store date / times in a kind of julian format (ie, the number of days since 1st jan 1900, for example, and the number of milliseconds since midnight)
now saying "i dont want to store the year part of a date" is like saying you don't want to buy bananas with their skins on, ie, not in this world
am not sure about data-bound grids (never use them cos you get all the hassles u are dealing with) but if you were to use unbound mode for the grid you could split the dates yourself and display only the day and month part of the date
hmmm ... isnt there a PreDisplayData() type function you could trap into and do the same in bound mode?

Make your own grid...
Do not sound nice, but you can't get rid of the year in a date/time field in access...

anyone out there use this compiler? i find myself opening it 10times more than vc++. the win32 library is amazing. the irc tech support is the best. there is ALWAYS a bloodshed guy there to help people. really the only reason i ever open vc++ is for my interfaces and bmaps

I'm writing program under WinNT environment recently and wants to make it workable in Win95/98. This program has to talk to the Touchscreen driver. This driver has different interface file for 85/98 and NT, but they do share some *.h files (share the main .h file.......for example, i have to access function ABC(). Both W95/98 and NT's interface file have this function (same name) and share the same .h file (ABC.h). So, I just only have to include ABC.h in my program and use this function. If i want to work in 95/98, i just have to put the w95/98 file in my project....same as WinNT.
However, can i put everything in the project and let the program to decide whether using w95/98 or NT. I don't want to have two separate programs in W95/98 and NT.......
Thanks

its called conditional compilation 
or you could detect the os at runtime and switch between diff code blocks but then your code is bigger

Hi,
My question is about WH_SHELL hook. When I hook WH_SHELL, the tray does not work correctly when my program is active. For example, when I open a program (when my program is active) its icon does not appear in the tray.
Note that in the hook function, I do nothing. I just call next hook. Moreover, the problem arises only on Win9x/Me. Not on W2k.
Is there anybody who knows the reason for this stupid behavior?

Hi
I've tried to use STL in an MFC project. The subject describes the problem rather well.
The strange about this is that THIS_FILE doesn't exists in the lines where the compiler complains.
I checked what THIS_FILE is, and became even more confused. Why would STL use an identifier used by
the MFC macros ASSERT and VERIFY? Anyone who has solved this?
the compiler output:
c:\program\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\new(35) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'THIS_FILE'
c:\program\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\new(35) : error C2091: function returns function

Hi all.
I want to run my program(Editor.exe) in other computer.
But the computer indicate error about MFC42D.DLL to me.
I know that i must create setup disk, but i don't know using of InstallShield.
So please write to me using of InstallShield (step by step).
Thanks for reply.

You dont need to use InstallShield. Use winzip and add this dll to the zip file.
Or link the MFC statically to your program!

And one more think...
Dont use your program's debug version in you distributions. Use release versions instead.

Occasionally, I find it easier to build an MFC Project by cloning an existing Project.
The way I do this is to copy everything to a new directory, rename the Workspace/Project files etc., then Edit the Workspace/Project/etc., files replacing all occurrences of the old names with the new ones.
It works, but it seems a bit "messy".
Is there a better way to do this?
Bryan.

I've written a file renaming program and a multiple-file
text replace program. I use them to do the same thing
and it only takes a few steps. I can send you the exe or
the source if you wish.

Hi,
This is what makes me nervous:
This is my first major software project. I've been moving along at a great pace, adding feature after feature, which management are pleased with. However, I know there are bugs in the software, bugs that cause lockups, blue screen of death and unhandled exceptions. I have tried to keep a simple and clean design, and use exception handling wherever possible. But what If I get to the end of the project, every feature we need is in, but it crashes every 10 minutes? And what if I cannot find what is causing it?
Now you XP'ers out there would probably tell me, that I shouldn't even get to that point, because I should "test first!" The fact is I haven't been able to do that all the time, especially due to the graphically intensive nature of the software.
So what do I do? Do I try and fix them now, however long it takes? Or is it okay to allocate 3-4 weeks soley devoted to getting rid of them? Should I buy a program like Numega BoundsChecker? Should I look at hiring some 'gurus' as consultants to tell me where I'm going wrong?
Regards
Brendan

I hate to say this, but you've dug a hole for youself here. It sounds like you haven't been fixing bugs as they come up, but instead you plan on doing all your bug-fixing at the end. This has several problems: 1) The product has a lot of features working, so to outsiders it looks like it's closer to completion than it is. 2) There's more code there, so there's more code to search through looking for the causes of bugs. 3) You have a greater chance of a bug fix breaking something else.
Suggestions -
Resist the urge to throw more people at the project. If they don't know the code, they will need a lot of time to come up to speed, and might not understand side-effects of their bug fixes, which may cause other bugs.
Fix your bugs now. Your alternatives are to cram like mad up until your ship date, or release the thing and hope no one notices the crashes. Do either of those really sound like something you want to do?
Be honest with management and say you've got a lot of serious bugs, and you'll need x extra weeks of time. If they say no, stand up to them - you know the state of the product, they don't. Also mention that releasing emergency patches later will cost money and make the product look bad.

You should be nervous Brendan. For every bug that you KNOW exists there are 10 more that you haven't seen. Not to mention the ones you will introduce by 'fixing' the original problems.
-- Get a copy of 'Code Complete' by Steve C. McConnell. Read it three times. Then read it again.
-- Accomplish the mission. Save the frills for later. Most software projects fail because no-one understood what the precise requirements of the project were. If you haven't created that document then you should stop everything and write down the minimum set of 'features' necessary to sell the program.
-- If you are going to send this product out to a customer then it MUST be rock solid. I have several very large projects and can testify about how much it costs to fix a bug. If you catch it during coding it costs about 1 unit ( just a rewrite of that line ) if the defect leaks into integration then it costs at least twice as much. By the time the customer has the product you don't even want to think about the cost. I have data showing defect costs as high as 11 times what I would have spent to correct it during coding. Are you willing to spend a week to fix EACH of those nagging issues? oops I'm preaching sorry.
-- BoundsChecker is great. I recently completed a Six Sigma project demonstrating that this tool would save my company tens of thousands in development cost just on my project. But... Be prepared to be humbled.
-- Hiring a 'guru' is sometimes cost effective, but not as effective as BECOMING a guru. Just think about the poor stiffs who haven't found the sites like Code Project... makes my head hurt to think about it.
Best of luck!
