There is also a story about the guy MS hired when they started the
NT project. He (I don't remember his name) was one of the creator
of the VMS operating system for the VAX minicomputer at Digital.
When you take VMS
and increment each letter
you have WNT !

But maybe it's just a coincidence!

Another story ..
When you take the name of the sentient computer in 2001 A Space Oddesy, "HAL" and increment each letter you get IBM.

I believe IBM tried to sue Arthur C Clark but he insisted that it was a coincidence.

If it stands for New Technology, then on the W2K splash screen it says "Built on NT Technology". New Technology Technology. Very catchy.

Thank you to everybody that answered my request about the bsc file format. I have incorporated some of it in my code. However I get a linker error for the openBrowser function, no matter what I do. I have tried the c version, told the compiler where to find the .lib and .dll files. No luck

Anybody got any ideas or solutions

Is there a way to detect when a script variable is changed ?

2-Aug-01 0:17

Hi,
Now I have a trouble on how to detect a script
variable changed.
In my page, I use activeX control to do something
,and it will return a value. But, I don't know when
it will ? Because my control will return it asynchronously.
So, I decide to try to get the value by using
an event; but, how to do this ? And, I must do it
in ActiveX and send notification to IE or I must
do it in custom event in HTML ?

Thanks for your help

CStatic and Control

1-Aug-01 23:26

I want to have in my window a CStaticCtrl.
this->m_static.Create(NULL,WS_VISIBLE|WS_BORDER,CRect(0,0,0,0),this,IDC_STATIC);

Sometimes i need my control. It should lay over the CStaticCtrl!

ActiveX.Create(NULL,WS_VISIBLE|WS_BORDER|TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS,CRect(0,0,0,0),this,ID_TEST);

void CFgServerViewRight::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
CView::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);

m_static.MoveWindow(0,0,cx,cy);
ActiveX.MoveWindow(0,0,cx,cy);
}

But i don't see my ActiveXControl? Whats the problem?

You're setting the identical dimensions for both controls in OnSize handler. Probably static control obscures activeX.

CDoc-CView-CDialog

1-Aug-01 23:21

Hi
I have a problem getting to my CDoc member variables from a CDialog.
If i use GetDocument from my view I can get the document variables data but if I open a dialog and tries to get the document data via the view - GetParent->GetDocument - all variables is empty. Why? Is the original document temporarily destroyd while the dialog is active and then restored after the dialog is gone? Is there a way around this or am I making something wrong?

Thanks in advance, Per

The best solution to solve your problem would be passing the document pointer to dialog. You can add the pointer as a public member of dialog class:

class CYourDialog : public CDialog
{
// ...
CYourDoc *m_pDoc
// ...
};

Before calling DoModal, you should init m_pDoc:

// this assumes that you're opening the dialog
// in one of the view class methods
CYourDlg dlg;
dlg.m_pDoc = GetDocument();
if (IDOK == dlg.DoModal())
{
// ...
}

For more object oriented solution, make m_pDoc a private data member initalized in CYourDlg constructor.

Check out GetUserName(), GetUserNameEx(), and the IADsADSystemInfo interface.

See HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

The GetUserName function retrieves the user name of the current thread. This is the name of the user currently logged onto the system. But if use this function from working service (when user was alredy logged in) You retrieves user name "SYSTEM" Frown | :(

while current logged in user name be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Wink | ;)

Borland vs Microsoft

Steve Thresher1-Aug-01 22:35

1-Aug-01 22:35

I am currently trying to change from using the Borland C compiler to Visual C++ however I have run into a problem. Borlands C compiler allows you to typedef functions, for example typedef BOOL(MYFUNC)(VOID *data) gives you a function that takes a VOID * and returns a BOOL. The Microsoft compiler doesn't appear to like this. Is there any setting you can change to allow this in the Microsoft compiler?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Steve.
