Hi,
I've build an application with some documentation (in an Adobe PDF format), and I must build a button in my app to show this documentation.
Do you know wether I can open this file from my own program (please add some sample code, using "help.pdf", or something like it), if this isn't possible, can I do it with ms word (doc format help).
Thank you in advance,
Boudewijn

Use ShellExecute():
ShellExecute(m_hWnd, "open", "help.pdf", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
This assumes that Acrobat is installed.

Hi,
I need to have some kind of control to select a directory, just like a file:
There must be some kind of dialog, like an openFileDialog, wich can select directories, instead of jsut files.
Does anyone know wether there is such a control, and where can I find it in MFC?
Thank you in advance,
Boudewijn

Hi,
thanks for helping, but I don't understand how to get a BROWSEINFO structure, can you give a hint (or the solution)?
Thank you,

The MSDN documentation has plenty of examples:

I need special log/history window control where the first line that is entered appears at the bottom, and the contents are scrolled upwards. (Like in mIRC). And it must be able to select the text. Maybe there is a way to modify CEdit class?
|
|
|
|
|
void EnsureVisible()
{
// The pointer to my edit.
extern CEdit* pmyEdit;
int nLines = pmyEdit->GetLineCount();
// Scroll the edit control so that the first visible line
// is the last line of text.
if (nLines > 0)
{
pmyEdit->LineScroll(nLines+1, 0);
}
}
Then,you can call this function so that the last line is always visible.

Thanks for scrolling, but i need the first line to be displayed at the bottom of CEdit. Imagine empty Edit control. Then i call some AddLine(...) function and this line appears at the bottom (not at the top like CEDit does). The second line moves first one upward and so on.
Generally i need something like this

but with ability to select text

Derive CMyEdit from CEdit. Add this method to CMyEdit:
void CMyEdit::Insert(LPCTSTR lpszText)
{
SetSel(0, 0);
ReplaceSel(lpszText);
}
Add lines to edit box like this:
CMyEdit m_edit;
.
.
.
for (int n = 0; n < 100; n++)
{
CString str;
str.Format("This is line %d\r\n", n);
m_edit.Insert(str);
}
Note: in Resource Editor, make sure edit box has styles multiline, vertical scroll, and auto vscroll.

HPSI have done it.
May be, you need the first line is always visible.
void EnsureVisible()
{
// The pointer to my edit.
CMyEdit m_edit;
int nFirstVisible = m_edit.GetFirstVisibleLine();
// Scroll the edit control so that the first visible line
// is the last line of text.
if (nFirstVisible > 0)
{
m_edit.LineScroll(-nFirstVisible, 0);
}
}

hello,
I want to send a pointer from my VB client app. to a VC dll the code is :
for VB
-------
Private Declare Sub GenerateReport Lib "Generator.dll" (ByVal datele As ADODB.Recordset)
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim con As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
c = "PROVIDER=sqloledb;server=romulus;uid=sa;pwd=951;DataBase=SindServLast"
Set con = New ADODB.Connection
con.Open c
Dim s As String
s = "select * from T_USR_Useri"
Set rs = con.Execute(s)
GenerateReport rs
End Sub
fot VC dll
-----------
void GenerateReport(_RecordsetPtr pRs)
{
pRs->MoveFirst();
CString text;
text=(char*)((_bstr_t)pRs->Fields->GetItem((_variant_t)("usr_LoginName"))->Value);
}
and everything works fine in vc ... the pointer is recived correctly and the text CString is filled ok but after that when my c++ function ends and the execution returns to VB the VB client crushes ... and raise an access violation error ..
why ?
thanks !!!!!

Perhaps you should be use "_RecordsetPtr* pRs".
Try it,then you could be success.

I doubt it. _RecordsetPtr is a smart pointer. Nevertheless, he could try it. You have no idea how many times I am wrong.

this is a way, yes, use a pointer's pointer.
In fact, i doubt it too, but should be try.

if I use _RecordsetPtr *pRs it will get me compiler errors ... _RecordsetPtr it is already a pointer ... and his sizeof is 4

Hi,
I would like to convert a hexadecimal value to decimal. is there any method in C++ available for me to do that??
For example :
The hexadecimal value of '5a' should be converted to 90 in decimal.
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
long lVal = 0x5a;

Given a hex value as a string representation, you could use
strtol or _tcstol to convert using a given base. In your case, this would be 16.
something like:
TCHAR czHex[] = _T("5a");<br />
TCHAR* pzStop = NULL;<br />
long nValue;<br><br />
nValue = _tcstol(czHex, &pzStop, 16);<br />
std::wcout<<_T("Hex Value: ")<<czHex<<_T(" equals: ")<<nValue<<std::endl;<br />
should to the trick. I'm sure there are other ways.

How I control the size of a window meta file when paste it?
example:
//write a WMF and put it into the clipboard.
void copy()
{
CMetaFileDC * m_pMetaDC = new CMetaFileDC();
CRect rc(0,0,20000,20000);
m_pMetaDC->CreateEnhanced(GetDC(),_T ("c:\\test.wmf"),&rc,"name");
//drawing the lines in the DC.....
HENHMETAFILE hMF= m_pMetaDC->CloseEnhanced();
//copy to the clipboard
OpenClipboard();
EmptyClipboard();
::SetClipboardData(CF_ENHMETAFILE,hMF);
CloseClipboard();
}
//then paste the file in a CRichEditView.
void CMyView::PasteIt()
{
GetRichEditCtrl()->Paste();
//clear the clipboard
OpenClipboard();
EmptyClipboard();
CloseClipboard();
}
In windows2000, I can control the size of the metafile with the third parameter of the function CreateEnhanced.But in Win98, the parameter have no function. Why? How control the size in win98?
Thanks a lot.

I have some bitmap buttons i edited thier images in the resource editor and im using the CBitmapButton::AutoLoad() member my problem is that the grey color the editor has doesnt match the grey color or buttons or windows is there a way to give it that windows grey look or does anyone know the exact rgb value of the windows default grey color?
|

I don't know the exact grey color of buttons but I can tell you this much. What you are looking for might not be the best solution. In Windows, the default colors can be changed thus making your buttons look awkward. You have no way of knowing before hand what the background color would be. If you implement a bitmap button and set its background color to the dialog box color, it might work on your system, but it might not work on other systems.
To draw a bitmap button with transparent background you need to use a mask when painting the bitmap. So you need to have two bitmaps, one that stores the normal image and the other one that has the mask. A mask is nothing but an image that corresponds to the original but the background is white and the foreground is black. You need to perform the following operations:
1. Output the normal bitmap by XOR-ing it with the target device
2. Output the mask bitmap by AND-ing it with the target device at the exact location of the original bitmap.
3. Output the normal bitmap by XOR-ing it with the target device.
At the end you will have a transparent button.
