Re: Converting very old VC++ to VS2005 and MSXML

Windows.h #includes Ole2.h which #includes ObjBase.h which #includes urlmon.h

No way round getting the SDKs msxml.h, as far as I can tell.

Just checked, and NO, no ulrmon.h in any of the project files.

A suggestion. Stuff your local msxml.h inside a namespace when #including it:

namespace Old
{
   #include "msxml.h"
}

and then explicitly specify the namespace when using the structures out of your local file - e.g.

Old::XMLDOMDocumentEvents events;

I'll have to give that a try -- will try to get to it later this morning -- working on a different project at the moment!

Stuart -- thanks. Using the namespace seems to have worked (at least, it got rid of the compilation errors and let me build the project).

Thanks folks for all of the help!!! Big Grin | :-D

Creating outlook express style frame headers/banners

Hello,

I am creating an application that is stylistically similar to outlook express. I'd like to be able to create header or banner images, with anti-aliased text that can be changed dynamically. They would be displayed in the MainFrame, and would describe the nature of the current view (in outlook express, these are Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, etc).

At the moment I'm simply using CBitmaps that load bitmap resources.

I guess the way to do this would be to create a class that inherits from CStatic or CBitmap, and uses GDI to draw the anti-aliased text. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed though - should I use an existing Codeproject class, or roll my own? My requirements really are simple - I want anti-aliased white text across a plain background, as a drop in replacement for my existing CBitmaps, that looks like outlook express.

Regards,
Sternocera

Yes you can, follow these two steps.

Step 1: You have to declare this DllImport attribute which allow specifying the name of the dll which contains the method.

Step 2: Then you have to specify the signature of the API, after which you can call the method passing the correct parameters.

As for example:

[DllImport("User32.dll")]
static extern bool MessageBox(IntPtr hWnd, string lpText,
string lpCaption, uint uType);

IntPtr hWnd= this.Handle;
MessageBox(hWnd, "Hi", "Click Me", 0);

hWnd is the handle of the form.

Sure it does.
