vc++ could automate excel !?! Gérald Mercet7-Nov-01 5:52 Gérald Mercet 7-Nov-01 5:52  Hi everybody, I have an .exe app, which is exactly a dlg application. I would like to know if someone could explain me how i could automat excel. I would like to put in my dlg application a button which when it used i could open a excel workbook, calculate all the worksheets(to update data in each worksheet, thanks F9!), and close it. thanks to anybody who will be able to help me. gerald Re: vc++ could automate excel !?!

Rickard Andersson207-Nov-01 4:46 Rickard Andersson20 7-Nov-01 4:46  My app can only use wav and mp3. So, how can I do to know if it is an Mp3 or WAV?? I use the CFileDialog and used GetFileExt() method to check... but it only check its extension... HEEEELP! ------------------------------ CodeCracker - That's me! ------------------------------ Re: How to know that the file is a WAV? 7-Nov-01 6:56 7-Nov-01 6:56  You'll have to read the beginning of the file. If it is a WAV file, bytes 0-3 will be have the ASCII chars: "RIFF" and bytes 8-11 will say "WAVE". Here's an example of the beginning of a wave file: RIFFR) WAVE ------------------------------------------------------------- 01234567891011 -- Bytes I'm not quite sure about an MP3 but it should be similar. Just do some research on the file format. Multiple build configurations jfaulken7-Nov-01 4:26 jfaulken 7-Nov-01 4:26  I have a project that has 2 versions of the exe (a 'lite' and a 'pro' version) and I want to do as much code sharing as possible. I know that using #define has fallen out of vogue for storing constants, but is there a 'new' C++ way of doing code sharing without using #defines as switches? My current in-mind solution is to create multiple build configurations and set different compiler switches for each one, and then wrap dependent code within those defines (i.e. "#ifdef _PRO_VERSION", etc). Is this the way to do it? I've also played with having multiple 'projects' within the 'workspace' but I think this would complicate code sharing beyond what I'm willing to deal with. Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -jfaulken When sushi is outlawed only outlaws will have sushi. Re: Multiple build configurations Michael P Butler7-Nov-01 4:32 Michael P Butler 7-Nov-01 4:32  #define and #ifdef is still my preferred way of doing it. I too would be interested to know if there is a better way. Michael Re: Multiple build configurations Chambers7-Nov-01 5:39 Chambers 7-Nov-01 5:39  I have seen some workspaces which use multiple projects and I thought they made things look more complicated than they actually were (mind you I am quite new to VC++). My personal preference is the #ifdef approach using one project in a workspace, hope this helps makes your mind up on the issue. "When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the Master" - Darth Vader Re: Multiple build configurations Tomasz Sowinski7-Nov-01 7:34 Tomasz Sowinski 7-Nov-01 7:34  but is there a 'new' C++ way of doing code sharing without using #defines as switches? Do not create new projects, they are not designed to do that; just for multiple configurations. Use #ifdefs, but without #defines. The symbol which controls which functionality goes into the binaries should be defined in the Settings/C++/Preprocessor definitions. The only difference between Debug-Pro and Debug-Lite (and corresponding release versions) config should be the presence/absence of _PRO_VERSION. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: Multiple build configurations jfaulken7-Nov-01 12:46 jfaulken 7-Nov-01 12:46  That's precisely what I did. Thanks for the input, everyone. One additional piece of info that turned out to be very important... if you're using conditionals with your resources in order to make them selected into one configuration or another, you must additionally put the preprocessor define in the box under Settings/Resources/Preprocessor definitions or the resource compiler simply won't see it. That killed about half an hour. ^_^ Thanks again for all the input! -jfaulken When sushi is outlawed only outlaws will have sushi.

But there is another method often used too. You can create two projects. Common files can be included in both projects. If some functionality needs to be in pro version, You can write empty function/class in version lite. Both will link, but only one will have real implementation. Which method to use? It depends on the number of code/files and Your preferences. I personally use ifdef method if there are not many changes. Quick Question RobJones7-Nov-01 4:19 RobJones 7-Nov-01 4:19  Hello, I know I have seen articles on this site regarding executables that accept switches eg.(test.exe /? for help).. I can't seem to find any of those articles.. Does any one have a link to a article on how to implement exe's that take switches? Thanks, Rob Re: Quick Question Michael P Butler7-Nov-01 4:28 Michael P Butler 7-Nov-01 4:28  Is this what you are looking for? http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/caacommandlineclass.asp Michael Re: Quick Question RobJones7-Nov-01 4:36 RobJones 7-Nov-01 4:36  Perfect! Thanks! Rob file streaming Bernhard7-Nov-01 4:16 Bernhard 7-Nov-01 4:16  okay.. i've used fopen for too long, now i want to get rid of it.. so i started using fstream.. the problem right now is that i would like to STREAM all the data in a file into a std::string - object.. i've tried sthing like: string line; ifstream file(sz_path1); file.read (line); msdn says: "The read Function The read member function reads bytes from a file to a specified area of memory. The length argument determines the number of bytes read. If you do not include that argument, reading stops when the physical end of file is reached or, in the case of a text-mode file, when an embedded EOF character is read." the first error i get is that there should be just one argument.. okay.. wdf should says the msdn text ??? other thing.. if there would be a possibility for doing that, would there be a way to stream directly into a string ?? or do i have to use a stringstream ?? BTW: i already tried to use getline.. but it doesn't work, cause i need the whole context... thanks in advance and have a nice one bernhard ""Politicians and diapers have one thing in common.

"Funny" problem with MSVC6 and flatscreen Steen Krogsgaard7-Nov-01 2:29 Steen Krogsgaard 7-Nov-01 2:29  Hi, I just got a new monitor, a Samsung SyncMaster 151BM flatscreen (nice!). But I also go myself a spurious problem. Whenever I compile something with VC++ 6.0 the screen goes black, showing a caret in the upper left corner (reminds me of the ol' DOS days, but no prompt ) and a white box as the mouse cursor. When compilation ends the screen goes back to normal, and all the little messages from the compilation is present in the Build box. I have fumbled around with both a generic MS driver for the monitor and with the Samsung driver included with the monitor (no updated one present), but to no avail. Has anybody seen this phenomenon before? My box is a HP Vectra 800MHz with 256 MB RAM and running Win2K Pro (corporate setup). Cheers Steen.

Try changing the background colour of your command prompt and see if the same background colour appears in the compiler. Michael Re: "Funny" problem with MSVC6 and flatscreen Steen Krogsgaard7-Nov-01 3:42 Steen Krogsgaard 7-Nov-01 3:42  You're right, of course. I found out that during a long compile I could switch away from the black screen using alt-esc, and briefly see a command prompt icon flicker on the task bar. Now the question is, why doesn't the focus return to the IDE window during the compilation, but stays on the command prompt window until the compile is finished? I have checked a number of flatscreen monitors as well as normal CRT ones, and they all displayed this phenomenon. So it has nothing to do with the monitor, perhaps my updated Intel Graphics Technology driver is to blame? Or did I inadvertently set some default parameters for command prompts in a special way to get this? I, for one, am completely lost here. Cheers Steen.

I've never seen this problem before, but it is probably some screwed setting on the command prompt? Are you upto date with all the service packs, both VC and Windows? Michael Re: "Funny" problem with MSVC6 and flatscreen Steen Krogsgaard8-Nov-01 1:15 Steen Krogsgaard 8-Nov-01 1:15  Hi Michael apparently my Win2K has been set to open all console apps in fullscreen mode by default, hence the black screen (this was pointer out to me by Michael Dunn). It's described in Q126031 in MSDN KB. I simply removed this default fullscreen mode in the registry and the problem evaporated! Thanks for all your help Cheers Steen.

As I remember, I reinstalled visual. Problem was caused by Visual installation which was not full. Something was missing and visual tried to get it from CD. Hope this helps
