Re: How do I load a dll from within a dll.

My mistake Blake, I should have finished the story.
The .dll API file is in the root directory of D:.
The LoadLibrary("D:\\wrk32.dll")result is picked up by GetLastError() which is 126, file not found.

Just before loading your DLL, add this line of code to your program:
SetErrorMode(0);
That way, when you run your progrma, a dialog box will pop up and you can see which DLL is missing. It will tell you all the places it tried to load the missing DLL.
Make sure to take the call back out before releasing your program.

I assumed that if you were running VC++ you would have had the Help installed? But that's not always so.

However, you can also always find an up-to-date Help set, which is a superset of the Visual Studio installed online help, at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library[^].

The macros reference will be in there somewhere. Though I always find the online version of the MSDN Library harder to search than the installed version.

COM newbie - ITaskbarList problem

I just started COM programming and managed to write some small sample programs to use the IActiveDesktop and IShellLink interfaces and their methods; basically i am playing around with things like these for the time being:

<br />
    CoInitialize(NULL);<br />
<br />
    WCHAR   wszWallpaper [MAX_PATH];<br />
    HRESULT hr;<br />
    IActiveDesktop* pIAD;<br />
<br />
<br />
    // using Active Desktop interface<br />
    hr = CoCreateInstance ( CLSID_ActiveDesktop, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IActiveDesktop, (void**) &pIAD );<br />
<br />
    if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) )<br />
    {<br />
        // Get the name of the wallpaper file.<br />
        hr = pIAD->GetWallpaper ( wszWallpaper, MAX_PATH, 0 );<br />
<br />
        if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) )<br />
        {<br />
            wcout << L"Wallpaper path is:\n    " << wszWallpaper << endl << endl;<br />
        }<br />
<br />
    }<br />
<br />
  //.... etc<br />

The above compiles correctly and works successfully.

However, when i try to use the ITaskbarList in the same manner, the compiler throws it all up, telling me that ITaskbarList is an undeclared identifier...

Any ideas where i'm getting it all wrong?

Many thanks...

Dynamic creation of controls and getting messages

Hi,
I wanted to create dynamically controls (CButton) on my dialog. They are displayed but don't react. Second problem is that I want to react in the dialog to a click on a button.
The creation of buttons (this -> the dialog containing the buttons)

for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
{
pButton = new CButton;
iLeft = (iWidth+iSpace)*i;
pButton->Create(_T(""), WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|BS_RADIOBUTTON,
CRect(iLeft,10,iLeft + iWidth,30), this, WM_USER+i);
}

But now I don't know how to get the message queue of the buttons!

thx & greets

You can either specify an ON_COMMAND_RANGE handler for all of them at once, or add buttons in the resource editor with the desired id, create handlers and them remove the buttons (but not the handlers, of course)

ok thank you!
But what I wanted to know is how to create buttons at runtime.
so the problem is that I cannot set ON_COMMAND_RANGE handler cause I don't know how many buttons there will be. But every button should react the same way!

You can use ON_COMMAND_RANGE anyway, just allow for the max number of buttons.

Hi,
I am Aravind from Chennai.
I saw your comment at code project.com on Volume shadow copy.
I need some information regarding that. Hope you have ideas regarding that. If possible, can you please share them with me? My need is as follows...
I want to take backup of files using volume shadow copy service [VSS] in Windows 2003 server.
I have to use VSS for getting the file difference with their previous versions. So, I have to get the snapshot details from VSS.

So, how to get those details and where those snapshots where stored?

Thanks in advance.

Cohen , THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE

IN THAT ARTICLE THEY SAYS

The header control in the ListView control sends notification to the parent window (e.i. the ListView) before it begins resizing a column. We can override the OnNotify() function in the CListCtrl derived class to handle this notification. The code below prevents resizing of all columns. Note that the resize cursor still shows up.
BOOL CMyListCtrl::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult)
{
switch (((NMHDR*)lParam)->code)
{
case HDN_BEGINTRACKW:
case HDN_BEGINTRACKA:
*pResult = TRUE; // disable tracking
return TRUE; // Processed message
}

return CListCtrl::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}

BUT DIDNT WORK WITH MY LIST CONTROL....
ANY IDEA ??????????
