progress bar never shows on status bar

RalfPeter3-Sep-02 9:26

I cannot get my progress bar to show on the status bar. The only way I found around it to show is to use MyPBar.SetWindowPos(...). Doing it this way, though, mispositions the progress bar on different computers. How do I lock it to my status bar? Here's what I have:

In MainFrm.cpp:
CRect rect;
m_wndStatusBar.GetItemRect(2, &rect);
m_ProgBar.Create(WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | PBS_SMOOTH,
rect, this, ID_INDICATOR_PBAR);
m_ProgBar.SetRange(0,100);//Set the range to between 0 and 100
m_ProgBar.SetStep(1);//Set the step amount
//the line below is brute force, can't find out how to display ProgBar
m_ProgBar.SetWindowPos(NULL,782,714,105,16,NULL);

In CView.cpp (or elsewhere):
.
.
.
CMainFrame* pFrame = (CMainFrame*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd;//pointer to mainframe object
.
.
.
pFrame->m_ProgBar.StepIt();//never shows on status bar

Any suggestions? Thx

You should make progress control a child of status bar, not main frame. Check Q142202 for details.

DAO: linking dbf table with different extension

AndyR3-Sep-02 6:16

AndyR

3-Sep-02 6:16

The following code works with DAO 3.5, but it doesn't when I add the following line into InitInstance():

<br />
AfxGetModuleState()->m_dwVersion = 0x0601;<br />
....<br />
<br />
CDaoDatabase db;<br />
db.Create("c:\\test.mdb");<br />
<br />
CDaoTableDef td(&db);<br />
<br />
td.Create("test link");<br />
td.SetConnect("dBase IV;Database=C:\\");<br />
<br />
// test.ddf is a dbf created with FoxPro 2.5x & renamed:<br />
td.SetSourceTableName("test.ddf");<br />
<br />
td.Append();<br />

The error message is "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'test'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly."

I've tried using "test#ddf" as a vaguely remember reading that this is the key to getting non standard extensions accepted, but this makes no difference in Jet 3.5 or 3.6 (i.e. 3.5 still works Smile | :)

, 3.6 doesn't work Frown | :(

Any ideas?

MFC 6.0 has the ability to use Microsoft Access 2000 databases. To engage this support in your application you use.

AfxGetModuleState()->m_dwVersion = 0x0601;

So to use under DAO 3.5 just remove the line

Hmm...

Classwizard Problem w/ External Resource DLL

Andrew Welch3-Sep-02 5:37

Andrew Welch

3-Sep-02 5:37

Hi all...

I've got a problem that arose after moving the resources in our application to an external resource dll for localization. All that works fine, but now the ClassWizard is basically unusable for adding new members based on controls in the dialogs. I know it's got something to do with the fact that all the control and dialog definitions are not part of my main app's project anymore... but..

does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew Welch

I don't know how to fix this ClassWizard issue. Any chance for storing main language resources (probably English) in .exe - this solves the problem completely. In this scenario, satellite dlls are needed only for secondary languages.

I think that is part of the solution.. However, we have separate english, italian, german, spanish and french dll's. Keeping the english resources embedded in the app really isn't feasible because we have some pretty big resources. Keeping them separate reduces the size of the install by about half.

I'm going to try something in the app's resource file (which is basically empty and static now ) using

#ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED
#endif

and see if I can't get the symbols I need loaded when editing only.

Hi All,
I need to create a timer that would start once I start running a process from within my program.I need to know how much time it takes for the process to create the first output.For this I would need a timer.I case the timer value reaches a specified limit the process should be terminated.
What is the method I can do this.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks and regards,

WaitForSingleObject with a timeout period should work for you.

There are several solutions. You could get the system time exactly before you the process begins and then get the system time exactly after the first output. Their difference is the duration time.

text string ID to numeric ID

Sascha3-Sep-02 5:12

Sascha

3-Sep-02 5:12

I am receiving some configuration setting via a XML document. One of the entry is the caption of a column header. The caption is given using a string ID (IDS_COL1_CAPTION) when extracting this info from the XML document the resulting value is a string containing “IDS_COL1_CAPTION”.
Is there a way to convert this text string ID into a numeric ID to be able to use the LoadString function of CString?

Thank you
