would be very nice..

I have this situation where I have to dynamically set the PATH variable used by the application.
Imagine I have 2 versions of mylib.dll:
c:\version1.0\mylib.dll
c:\version1.1\mylib.dll
My PATH variable is c:\version1.1; c:\version1.0
Now, my application links to mylib.lib, so whenever I startup my application, it is looking for the mylib.dll based on my PATH settings.
What I want to accomplish is to give the user the possibility to specify which version of the dll is going to be used by the application (via a dialog box).
So I thought the solution was to overrule the default PATH variable used by the application by my own one (c:\version1.0\mylib.dll needs to be used).
Is this possible? How to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance
Wim

Could you dynamically link to the DLL and use LoadLibrary() to specify the path for the DLL?

Hello,
I'm afraid that is not possible. Well, it might be possible, but the problem is that there are a lot of dll's invloved, and the references change over time.
So I really need to stick to the .lib usage.

SetEnvironmentVariable() comes to mind.

Look at the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths" entry in Registry. It's the modern approach now. You may use it for your purpose.
For example,
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\someserver.exe
@="S:\SRV7\Run\Release\bin\someserver.exe"
"Path"="S:\SRV7\Run\Release\bin\;S:\SRV7\Run\Release\dll\"
NOTE There is the separator ";" between pathes.
With best wishes,

Hi !
I upgraded my VC++ to 2003 cause the compiler now supports partial template specialization. But i now have the following problem:
Suppose the following code:
--- snip ---
class Test: public std::ostringstream {
public:
Test(const std::string& str);
};
Test::Test(const std::string& str)
: std::ostringstream()
{
*this << str;
}
---- snip ---
This does not compile (error C2679) cause the compiler could'nt find a matching binary operator. What the hell is going on here ? This code compiles on every other compiler i've used (gcc 2, gcc 3, VC6, VC7). Is the compiler buggier than before or am i missing something ?
Many thanks in advance,
Christian Prochnow

I'm just looking for an easy approach to build a dde server to provide changing data retrieved from internet ressources to other apps (e.g. Excel). Are there any good examples using the MS ddeml library 
Alternatively an easy to use ActiveX-control wrapping this stuff would be great appreciated 
Thanks for your help.

If you want to make Excel a DDE Server
you can try something like this:
DDE Service : EXCEL
DDE Topic : Book1:Sheet1
DDE Item : R2C2 ( refers to Row2, Column2 )
or if you want to create DDE server,
see the SDK DDEML sample "Server Sample: DDE Server" in MSDN.

Hi All,
I'm a beginner. I tried using CToolTipCtrl as given in MSDN but tooltip display is not happening.This is what I've done.
CToolTipCtrl m_ToolTip;
m_ToolTip.Create(this, TTS_ALWAYSTIP);
m_pToolTip.AddTool(...)
m_ToolTip.SetToolInfo(&ToolInfo);
and in PreTranslateMsg
m_ToolTip.RelayEvent(pMsg);
Create and Addtool does not return failure msg and it does not throw any error but still there is no display. Can anyone pls help me out
with this?

Creating and displaying tooltips is really a hard job. 
Anyway try this link:

1. Call CDialog::OnOK() / CDialog::OnCancel() depending on the return value needed.
2. If you are using DoModal() method to show the dialog, then your main thread is already blocked, so it is just not possible to dismiss the dialog from main thread. If you ar using Create / ShowWindow( ... ) to show the dialog, then you can use DestroyWindow() on the dialog reference.

but in this case how do i terminate my application...not just the dialog

You have to first close your dialog using OnCancel()/OnOK(). Then you can terminate your application from your main class.
void MyClass::OnSomeAction()
{
CMyDlg dlg;
dlg.DoModal();
//The thread is blocked at this point, and will resume only if the dialog is dismissed
//Terminate the application here.
}

dear all
can a single CDialog based class be associated with 2 dialog resources....
if yes how
regards
rIsHaBh

It can be done like this:
pDialog = new CMyDialog();
//Check if new succeeded and we got a valid pointer to a dialog object
if(pDialog != NULL)
{
BOOL ret = pDialog->Create(IDD_MYDIALOG,this);
//Change IDD_MYDIALOG with another resource ID
if(!ret) //Create failed.
AfxMessageBox("Error creating Dialog");
pDialog->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}

To find the double-byte characters, step through one char at a time and call IsDBCSLeadByte() on each one. When that function returns true, that char and the following one make up one double-byte character.

Thank you.
can you tell me how to make a one double-bye character?
