Why would you want to double click on a button
Never seen that, done that or will do that.

Hi :
One never knows .... I am just exploring VC++.. and since the wizards show that it is doable .....
Here's a dumb question then. Follow up from previous mail ... what if I want to open dialog1 if user single click, and open dialog2 if user double click.
Does this mean this is not possible, or have to done in different way ?
Cheers.

Maybe it's possible, maybe not. I don't want to know.
Go to the next page of your book and start with more interesting things;P

Call LoadImage() and use the LR_LOADFROMFILE flag. This will get you an HBITMAP which you can use with GDI functions.

Hi,
I am developing a TAPI application to send and recv data. I was able established the connection between the application. Now I want to send and recv data between them. I'm using ReadFile() and WriteFile(). But when I try to set the comm state, it gives me an error. Some times it gives an error INVALID_HANDLE in Write file(). How to get the comm handle ? I have used the LPVARSTRING to get the handle. Is it correct? How to use the WriteFile() and ReadFile() function.
Pls help...

Hi,
I've been working on some ATL components, and I use VB as the testbed for them.
Normally I compile the DLL and register it, set a breakpoint in the code, and point to my VB application as the debug executable, and when my function get's called my breakpoint is hit, and I'm into debug mode.
BUT all of a sudden, the breakpoints are just being skipped.
Is there something obvious I've missed?

Hi all,
What is the win32 API equivalent of 'malloc' and 'free' ?
Which of these is better ?
thanks in advance

The C++ language exists outside the Windows world, in fact it was even concieved there. So win32 has nothing to do with it. The C++ equivelent to the C functions 'malloc' and 'free' is 'new' and 'delete'. You should always use the C++ versions.

No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer.

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not
as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Because you can't malloc and delete, new and free, so it's easier not to mix them up. Because you get constructors and destructors out of it ( man, do I miss destructors in my .NET world ).

yeah, i guess that applies to C++. but the original poster didn't mention C++, only Win32.

Well, the fact that he said Win32 makes me think he's probably a newbie, almost certainly using C++. If he's not, then my answer will make clear that the stuff I've said does not apply. I presume I'm right in thinking that the Win32 API does not provide an alternative malloc ?

there's a whole host of allocation functions in Win32: Global/Heap/Local/VirtualAlloc and so on.

Thanks a lot for help guys .
I dont think i can use new and delete because i want to use realloc.
I really dont know anything about heap/global/local allocs.
since mike said its better to use CRT, i will stick to malloc.

I believe that is so. Why do you want to use realloc ?

I am going to ask him, because AFAIK, new and delete also give you everything he mentioned. I strongly dispute the wisdom of using C memory allocation in C++, but Mike is a hell of a smart guy, so I'm keen to hear what he says.

The I guess you don't like STL. STL uses malloc and free all over the place due to the limitations of new and delete.

Man, you don't miss a trick, do you ? :P
My point remains, that as an end user, I do not call the C library because it confuses things and because I like constructors and destructors. The fact that it's used in a library for specific reasons does not affect my decision.

HeapAlloc() and HeapFree(). Neither is better as far as allocating memory goes, however you should always use the CRT functions so it can track you memory usage, find over/under writes, and flag leaks for you.

Are you saying this over HeapAlloc(), or over new ? Because I am certain that C++ memory management is tracked by VC in debug mode.

VC doesn't track memory usage, the CRT does. So if you want to use those memory-tracking features, you need to use malloc/free and new/delete. If you use HeapAlloc/HeapFree directly, you're on your own.

Ah - I thought you were saying malloc is better than new, not the win32 functions.

Hello there 
I am using an (multithreaded) activex control in my CDialog based app.
When i run my app in debug mode, there are no problems and all is good (the ocx is a release build..and it doesnt change between build types)
But when i build and run my app in Release build, the axtivex control causes my app to crash.  (below is part of the stack dump)
CWnd::OnAmbientProperty(....
COleControlSite::XAmbientProps::Invoke(....
COleControl::AmbientBackColor(....
The activex control is used elsewhere here at work, notebly in some VB apps and in a web page - and doesnt make them crash.
Is there a way I can tell my app not to crash or to tell my app to ignore any errors/exceptions this activex control generates?
I've tried using exception catching but its not always possible to wrap up calls to the control as it uses callbacks to tell the app when it's finished.
does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on how I may be able to make my VC app handle the errors liks VB, IE etc seem to?
regards
Bryce

Hello,
I would like to support CD burning in my application that supports win9x/2k/xp. I'm considering using ASPI sdk to build the CD burning engine. I only able to find a bit information about this topic on the internet. Do you know more about building CD burning engine with ASPI sdk or some url for this topic?
Thanks,
Hiusing

I know of no free SDK to burn CD's, except that I heard that XP supports it internally. To support another OS, I believe you'll have to spend a fair bit of money.
