Rescaling the image ends up distorting it. I am using Microsoft Photoeditor.
I'm definitely doing this the wrong way but don't know why.
Thanks

You are doing it the right way. When you rescale the image in Photoeditor, you have to ensure you keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise you will end up with a distorted image.
example:
the image you have is 400x800 pixels. This is a 1:2 ratio, so when you resize the 400 to say, 200, you then have to change the 800 by the same aspect ratio about, which is 50% here, so you would end up with a new image size of 200x400, which is smaller but still maintains the same aspect ratio and should not distort the image.
I hope this helps!

It did help but now I am unable to resize the icon and it is tiny. How do I correct this?

I fail to open an ACCESS mdb file by DAO unless i convert the mdb file to old version.
How can i open the original database (the one from which i converted to old version)?

sounds like you need to update your DAO library on that machine. I think it might be wrapped in MDAC now.

Hi,
I've heard of many databases : Access, SQL Server, Interbase, Oracle, MySQL, etc...
Now, I have to choose one, and I don't know how to decide. I guess to be able to choose, I need to know what are my needs. Well, I need a portable database, efficent, fast, reliable, etc....
How can I decide which one is the best (okay, I already know I won't use Access, I need a real database server) ?
Any suggestions welcome !
Thanks !
Jerome

I don't know anything about MySQL, but I imagine that there's plenty of info available on the web. I do know Oracle, and it's got all the features you listed: portable, efficent, fast, reliable. However, I don't know about much about its price, which I imagine is not cheap. Also, the tools that come with it haven't been the best in the past few years. There are some nice third-party ones available (such as TOAD) which make working with Oracle very nice.
SQL Server would probably be my top choice if portability wasn't an issue.

Alvaro

Look at using the CDaoDatabase, CDaoRecordset, and more specifically CDaoWorkspace. These MFC classes should allow you to create a .mdb file with is a database using Microsoft's Jet engine.

Thanks,
could you direct me to any basic sample?
Thanks.

The only thing I can think of from the top of my head is MSDN. Otherwise try searching Google for CDaoWorkspace.

i'm new to programming and i was wondering if it is possible to run these c++ projects done in VisualC++.net on a visual C++ 6.0 compiler etc. Should it work or is there too many differences in them? Thanks.

It's hard to say. If no .net features, or MFC 7 features are used, then it should be possible, but most .net projects you'll find here will be making use of .net features

Hello
I use a modeless CDialog to display some CProgessCtrl controls. It has a Close button which i want to use to abort a loop. The progress controls of the modeless dialog are updated during this loop.
The constructor of the dialog is
CDialogVorgang::CDialogVorgang(CWnd* pParent )<br />
: CDialog()<br />
{<br />
Create(CDialogVorgang::IDD, pParent);<br />
<br />
}<br />
and i initialize it with
<br />
CDialogVorgang* pDlgVorgang = new CDialogVorgang(); <br />
pDlgVorgang->SetWindowText("Datenbank Aktualisierung");<br />
pDlgVorgang->m_cProgressVorgang.SetRange(0, 3);<br />
pDlgVorgang->m_cProgressGesamt.SetRange(0, v_oaV->GetSize());<br />
<br />
pDlgVorgang->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);<br />
<br />
pDlgVorgang->UpdateWindow(); <br />
<br />
for (int nv = 0; nv < v_oaV->GetSize(); nv++)<br />
{<br />
pDlgVorgang->IncGesamt();<br />
pDlgVorgang->ResetVorgang();<br />
pDlgVorgang->IncVorgang();<br />
<br />
.....<br />
}<br />
<br />
The dialog shows up, and the progess controls are adjusted correctly(in the functions IncGesamt, ResetVorgang etc), but i can´t press the cancel button during the loop. Only AFTER the loop has stopped i can close the dialog.
It´s also strange that i had to include the UpdateWindow function. Without it static text would not have showed up, even the cancel button was invisible.
I added for testing a windowproc message handling function to my modeless cdialog class, but during the loop it is never called.
Is it possible that the loop - and thus the adjustment of the progess controls - starts to quickly before the window is registered? Do i have to wait a bit, and if so, how?
Thank you for any help

The problem with the button is that you are getting all the CPU occupied with your loop (take a look at the task administrator) and then you can press the button but it won't be able to be processed until the exit of your loop.
If you want to solve it think about creating a thread in order to be able to update the progress ctrls while you'll be able to cancel the process.
Remember that if you want to handle multiple threads you must control the secondary effects.
-----------------------------------------------------------
It's strange that the static text is not displayed... I can only think about you have any other control over it and that only when you repaint it it can be shown...

But isn´t a modeless dialog a "standalone" thread? I mean doesn´t modeless mean that it runs independent from any parent as an individual thread?

You are occupying all the cpu in the main thread and nothing reacts as expected.
I still believe that you should implement your loop inside another thread...
hope this helps...

Another way to do it (depending on your code) would be to use timer messages to handle that in order to free a little bit more the CPU...
Hope this helps...

I am building a program under Visual C++ 6.0, which I will sell to a industrial customer (a factory). I am using an illegal version of the Visual Studio IDE - a cracked copy.
I would like to ask if there is any way for the authorities to know that I used an illegal copy of VS. Say by examining the executable files? Does VC++ add any signature to all executables it builds?
If you have any idea, please post it...

There has not been a way until now that you have admitted software piracy 
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

microsoft says there is no need for a licence for the programs that you built and compile in visual studio. so i guess that it won't compile some info about the visual studio version, and even if it does, it's your program, so they have no rights.

I believe there is compiler information (ID, Ver) stored in every executable linked/compiled with VC.
