"WindowBlinds" never use ModifyMenu or SetMenuItemInfo
and Menu is not with MF_OWERDRAW style. Window never receive WM_DRAWITEM or WM_MEASUREITEM Message.

How can it draw Menu?

You may be able to set a region. Otherwise you can use masking, just like any bitmap which is being drawn transparently with a colour key. I believe TransparentBlt works this way. You'll need W98 or later, and the Platform SDK.

Use ::CreateRoundRectRgn to create a region with rounded corners. Then call ::SelectClipRgn with your DC that you are going to paint your bitmap onto. The clipping region will prevent your bitmap from painting outside of the rounded rectangle that you create.

Shog9 has listed some articles here on CP that will help you.

Good Luck

How to translate this (masm32 in VC++) ?

Hi,

I need change a Dos-C program with VC++6.0. In the Dos-C program, there is a piece of 16-bit masm code like the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------
_asm {
les bx, SRB
push es
push bx
lea bx, Aspi
call DWORD PTR [bx]
add sp, 4
}

where Aspi is defined as:

void (__far *Aspi)(u_char far *) = (void __far *)0;
srbExecIo *SRB;

typedef struct {
u_char commandCode;
u_char commandStatus;
u_char hostAdapterNo;
u_char scsiRequestFlag;
u_char reserved1[ 4 ];
u_char targetId;
u_char targetLun;
u_long dataAllocLength;
u_char senseAllocLength;
u_char *dataBuffer;
u_char *srbLink;
u_char scsiCdbLength;
u_char hostAdapterStatus;
u_char targetStatus;
u_char *postRoutine;
u_char reserved2[ 34 ];
union cdbAndSense ca;
} srbExecIo;

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a newer for masm32. I used wnaspi32.dll for aspi-scsi management in new VC++ code.
Would please tell me how to change above code into VC++ code ? and some related setting information?

Thanks in advance!

Even if you tell us what the warning sayas you HAVE to show us some code also!
It's impossible to help if you don't show us some code snippets!
Are you returning like:

...
return &myVaribleOrObject;

If yes:
Then I can tell that you can't return an address of a local varible from a function. Show me some code and I can help you!

Ok,

All three of szIEVersion, "IEVersion not found" and "Open Key Failed" are non-static local variables, i.e., they are declared at function scope. This means that they are not valid once the program runs out of their scope, i.e., the function returns. They are only valid inside the function.

My suggestion is that you instead pass the char array along with its max length as parameters to the function and return TRUE or FALSE if success or failure, and copy "IEVersion not found" and "Open Key Failed" where you call this function, based on the return value. Like this:

extern "C" BOOL _stdcall ReturnIEVersion(LPTSTR pszIEVersion, INT nMaxLen)
{
  HKEY hKey;
  DWORD dwType = REG_SZ;
  DWORD dwSize = nMaxLen + 1;
  LPCTSTR pszKey = _T("Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer");

  if(ERROR_SUCCESS == RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, pszKey, 0, KEY_READ, &hKey))
  {
    if(ERROR_SUCCESS == RegQueryValueEx(hKey, _T("Version"), NULL, &dwType, LPBYTE(pszIEVersion), &dwSize))
    {
      return TRUE;
    }
    else
    {
      return FALSE;
    }

    RegCloseKey(hKey);
  }
  else
  {
    return FALSE;
  }
}

How can run my VC program in a computer without VC installed?

Sstar4-Dec-02 18:59

I have used VC++ 6.0 to developed a program. However, I found the EXE file can only run on a conputer with VC installed. However if no VC is installed on the computer, it will say "Cannot find ***.dll file", So currently what I did is to copy also the required DLL file from my PC to the target PC and place the DLL file into the same folder. It can work then...

However, I just feel it is not a neat way to solve the problem. Can anybody tell me some other better solution to build my program so as to make resultant EXE file work on PCs without VC installed also?

Thanks in Advance...

Yes, if you have a version higher than the standard one, you can choose to statically link to the MFC dll. Then you simply need to avoid the C run time, and you'll stand a good chance of being where you want to be, so long as you do not use Direct X, MDAC, GDI+, etc.

If the program was compiled in Debug mode, it will require many VC debugging DLLs to run. If you compile the program in Release mode, it will not need those DLLs.

Can we search SQL (VC++) combine with Boolean?

Hi,

I am using VC6.0++ with DAO & MS Access97! So far I use SQL successfully ... well except 1 thing:

I would like search a column (define as Boolean) in a databse table that has logic Checked (true?)
Whenever I did ... it does not worked!

1) strSQL.Format ("SELECT * FROM Sample WHERE Logic = 1");
2) strSQL.Format ("SELECT * FROM Sample WHERE Logic = TRUE");
3) strSQL.Format ("SELECT * FROM Sample WHERE Logic = %d", value); // set value = 1

*) Can anyone help me on this, I appreciate any help here

Many thanks,

Anh

I just did something in Access XP and created a query that looks like this:

SELECT Table1.ID
FROM Table1
WHERE (((Table1.ID)=True));

There may be slight differences between 97 and XP in regards to the syntax, however I doubt this would be one of them. Hope this helps. Smile | :)

did you try Yes/No ? Not sure if it'll work, but I just used Access to define a test table, and it called the column type a yes/no column.....maybe that's a valuable hint. If that doesn't work...then I don't know

I've confirmed that Yes / No works. Also True / False .... Seems maybe its case sensitive (?)

I've worked with both Access and SQL Server SQL statements and found a little inconsistency in the way that both platform represents a boolean value!

However I've found that FALSE is always represented as 0 (zero), and TRUE as any non-zero value. Access will sometimes store TRUE as -1.

So to query a boolean field I use :
"SELECT * FROM [Sample] WHERE [Logic]=0" // FALSE
"SELECT * FROM [Sample] WHERE [Logic]<>0" // TRUE
