Hello everyone, i have a dialog based application. First dialog is a password dialog that captures the password of the user, and according to who the user is, the main dialog calls either an manager dialog or a worker dialog. I am having problems with exchaning data from dialog to dialog. For example, a worker comes in, puts in his password and his prompted with the worker dialog, on the worker dialog, the worker has a button to clock in. After the worker clicks the PUNCH IN or PUNCH OUT button, i will be saving the current time, now i would like to share that time with the main dialog, how can i do that?

Pass a pointer to your main dialog into your worker dialog via the constructor.

You can then call a function in your main dialog (using the pointer) which sets the time variable in the main dialog.

Fairly simple, from ur main dialog class u must be calling the dialog class.use the dialog class object to call the value of the variable...
I think that might help

I want to my program (while running in the background) to send virtual keystrokes, so whatever application is in the foreground will process them. It would be nice if it even worked for programs using DirectInput. Any ideas how this can be done?

Counting files in a given location

Hi, is there a way to know how many files a given folder/drive contains WITHOUT having to "manually" (and slooowly) count them one by one via FindFirstFile() FindNextFile() etc.?
is there like a GetFileCount(LPCSTR path) API function?
Thanks!

No. You'll have to count them using FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile()

and then post it here on codeproject Smile | :)

Dbase DriverID

I'm using a connection string with a driverid of 277 to connect to a dbase database and then I create a table. When I open up the table in VFP 7 the integer column types are somehow converted to NUMERIC and are displayed as doubles or floats. Is this just because I'm opening it in foxpro? I'm specifying 'INTEGER' in my create table statement. the table will eventually have to be viewed from dbase, but I don't have dbase right now and I'm trying to make sure it's being exported right before I go too far with the app. Thanks in advance

If it's broken, I probably did it

During the design time, how do you set size to an activex control?
Also when you resize for example, mouse drag, how do you maintain the aspect ratio?

Your question is not clear. Any windows consist Printers and Faxes in Setings and you can send you document to printer or fax.

Sorry the question was badly posted how ever thanks as your reply answers it.
But how could one bypass the fax wizard and control the the sending of the fax from the application its self (eg a bulk fax mail adresses were each document has personalization and sending a fax over an exsisting call)

A DSN is just a registry key. Search the registry for a known one and you'll find the location.
