Hi All !!
I've stupid problem !!! It make me crazy Frown | :(

I want to use WinAPI struct ALTTABINFO
this struct is contained in <winuser.h>

but no way to use this struct because compiler performs an output:

error C2065: 'ALTTABINFO' : undeclared identifier

for example

//#include <winuser.h> //but I must include windows.h, look in help
#include<windows.h>

void main(void)
{
ALTTABINFO myInfo;// error!! why???
.....
}

Best regards VitSoft

If you do not have MSDN, get it and get it quick, you can't possible write windows programs without it (I have but that was many moons ago).

The ALTTABINFO structure contains status information for the application-switching (ALT+TAB) window.

typedef struct tagALTTABINFO {
DWORD cbSize;
int cItems;
int cColumns;
int cRows;
int iColFocus;
int iRowFocus;
int cxItem;
int cyItem;
POINT ptStart;
} ALTTABINFO, *PALTTABINFO, *LPALTTABINFO;
Members
cbSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the structure.
cItems
Specifies the number of items in the window.
cColumns
Specifies the number of columns in the window.
cRows
Specifies the number of rows in the window.
iColFocus
Specifies the column of the item that has the focus.
iRowFocus
Specifies the row of the item that has the focus.
cxItem
Specifies the width of each icon in the application-switching window.
cyItem
Specifies the height of each icon in the application-switching window.
ptStart
Specifies the top-left corner of the first icon.
Requirements
Windows NT/2000 or later: Requires Windows NT 4.0 SP6 or later.
Windows 95/98/Me: Requires Windows 98 or later.
Header: Declared in Winuser.h; include Windows.h.

Hi !!!
Thanks !!
I've MSDN lib,I know it possible to redefine this struct, but when you want use GetAltTabInfo(..) function
you have the same problem.
Why compiler don't know about this function or struct ?

error C2065: 'GetAltTabInfo' : undeclared identifier

I'm a long time work with VC, but it's first time when i have problem like this ;(
Thanks and Good Luck

If you look in winuser.h, you'll see the ALTTABINFO declaration is wrapped in an #if (WINVER >= 0x0500) block. You'll need to #define WINVER 0x0500 before your #include statements.

I think the CRT variable _daylight indicates whether daylight savings time is in effect. The docs aren't exactly crystal clear, though.

Fast Algorithm needed for Co-odinates along Ellipse

I am looking for a fast algorithm for outputing the co-ordinates of points along an ellipse, given the bounding rectangle.
Basically as the Ellipse drawing function only that it outputs the co-ordinates of the pixels rather than drawing them.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Happy programming!!

This is just quick and dirty code (written straight in an untested). This code assumes the definition of things like point2d (it's a floating point 2d point) and pi. The maths is pretty simple trigonometry, so if you have any trouble go to the library. Here goes:

<br />
point2d *GetEllipsePoints(float height, float width, point2d center, long divisions)<br />
{<br />
     point2d *theList = new point2d[divisions];<br />
<br />
     for (long i = 0; i < divisions; i++)<br />
     {<br />
          theList[i].x = cos(((float)i/(float)divisions) * pi / 180.0f)*width*0.5;<br />
          theList[i].y = sin(((float)i/(float)divisions) * pi / 180.0f)*height*0.5;<br />
     }<br />
<br />
     return theList;<br />
}<br />

Greetings,

I am trying to get the length of the avi source file, and to play it in the time line at that length,
but for some reason I am always getting a "0" returned for the media length. Any suggestions on how
to retreive these?

I am under Windows 2000, and I am using directx 8.0 sdk with visual C++ 6.0.

// Set the group media type.

Hello,

How can one remove the scrollbars from a CFormView based app? I've spent way too many hours trying to figure this one out. Mad | :mad:

I've tried ModifyStyle(WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL, 0);

I've tried cs.style = ~WS_HSCROLL | ~WS_VSCROLL;

This should be simple, and its driving me crazy!!! Confused | :confused:

Thanks!

exit Visual Studio, delete the projects *.clw file then start Visual Studio again. The Class Wizard file (*.clw) will be regenerated and all references to the ActiveX control should be gone.

By the way, do you know how to change the MSysObjects attributes to read only thru VC?
I will be able to read tables info if I could do that. By default, MSysObjects cannot be read. I can change the setting thru Access 2000 but I want to do it thru VC!

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
