Add this before the standard headers are included in your stdafx.h file
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400

BTW, you could also do the same with Project Settings -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor & add this _WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 to the defines

Hi,
I saw that the code below didn't work in order to get a HBITMAP in an extension DLL:
// Set a bitmap for a button
m_pbSample.SetBitmap(LoadBitmap(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_SAMPLE)));
I found another method for that and it works:
CBitmap bmSample;
VERIFY(bmSample.LoadBitmap(IDB_SAMPLE));
// Set a bitmap for a button
m_pbSample.SetBitmap((HBITMAP)bmSample.Detach());
Now, I would like to do the same for an icon in extension DLL. Assume that I have an icon in the DLL resource named IDC_SAMPLE.
How can I get an HICON for that? I need this to change the icon in the title bar of a dialog.
HICON hiconSample;
// ???
SetIcon(hiconSample, FALSE);
SetIcon(hiconSample, TRUE);
Thanks....

Does anyone know how to change the screensaver to another one.
I know I can change the HKCU\control panel\desktop\scrnsave.exe value, but then the user have to reboot.
Is there an API to do it?
I can set some properties on the screensaver with SystemParametersInfo(), but I cant find a way to tell the system that I have changed the scrnsave.exe registry value...
Any ideas?

When running my VC++5/MFC app under XP, most dialog fonts look bad. Fonts in property pages & common dialogs look great (except for added controls in FileOpen). Fonts in menus and messageboxes look great, too. Adding a manifest file makes no difference to the fonts, but verything else turns cool<g>.
From scouring MSDN/KB it seems the trick is to specify dialog resources to have style DS_SHELLFONT and use the "MS Shell Dlg" font (rather than "MS Sans Serif").
However ... in VC++5, DS_SHELLFONT isn't defined and I can't specify "MS Shell Dlg" (because its not availalable on my development system?)
Is my understanding of the issues / solution correct ?
Is there a way to achieve what I need with VC++5, or must I upgrade to VC++6, or what ?
Many thanks
Steve Kearon

You need to do three things:- Change the DIALOG resource to DIALOGEX (just add the "EX" in a text editor).
- Change "MS Sans Serif" to "MS Shell Dlg". (MS Shell Dlg isn't a physical font, you won't find it on any system. It's a special name the OS recognizes.)
- Add DS_SHELLFONT, which is equal to DS_SETFONT | DS_FIXEDSYS

int iInt = 127;
char cChar = 99;
char cCast = static_cast<char>(iInt);
int iCast = static_cast<int>(cChar);

HTML parser ate some stuff:
int iInt = 127;
char cChar = 99;
char cCast = static_cast <char>(iInt);
int iCast = static_cast <int>(cChar);

Does anyone know how to get the system idle time???
Thanx in advance

Why do you care about the system idle time?
I have to think you're really trying to do something else, like calculate uptime or something. What are you trying to do?

Now for the c++ dll that will object pool db connection and return a disconnected recordset, I have been attempting to learn on my own with a lot of samples.
The project works fine I believe. Let´s say it runs and I can watch its specifics in the MMC (View Status, Components)
I have run this with and without the IObjectControl Method. I know I have not coded it 100%.
The sample that I am using did not include the events Activate, Deactivate, CanBePooled, it would still object pool (allow me to create instances), but I read:
It is not mandatory for a COM object to implement this interface in order to be pooled. The exception to this rule is if the pooled object also happens to be transactional, in which case the CanBePooled method of the interface is used to determine the state of the resources it holds. If a COM object does not implement IObjectControl, instances of it will be created until the maximum pool size is reached, as each instance is assumed to be poolable.
To see the related changes, you must open the project (Activate, Deactivate, CanBePooled Methods.)
I know that I am not handling the activate, deactivate, canbepooled correctly could you take a look at this part.
I am not evening deactivating the existing code handled it in its own way.

I changed compile info in comsvcs.h
I forced compile to be for win2k. I was getting weird _GetObjectContext errors.
I found on Google an article that told be to force to 2K. What are your thoughts ???
After implementing I was able LINK just fine. I read there is some issue with how win2k platform is identified. ??
//#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)
#define GetObjectContext(ppIOC) (CoGetObjectContext(IID_IObjectContext, (void **) (ppIOC)) == S_OK ? S_OK : CONTEXT_E_NOCONTEXT)
//#else
//extern HRESULT __cdecl GetObjectContext (IObjectContext** ppInstanceContext);
//#endif
3. Provider = MSDAORA.1;Password=wwww;User ID=xxxxx;Data Source=DEV2;Persist Security Info = True;OLE DB SERVICES = -2;
I put a value of OLE DB SERVICES = -2 at the end of my OLEDB Connect string.
Is this the best number to use. I want to just ensure that we are object pooling not resource pooling. I did not wish to use 0 "no services". What are your thoughts?

I tried to get the info about a button of a CToolBar object using the following code. Everything works if the CToolBar onject is in the same app that the following code belongs. When used for a CToolBar object of another app, GetButtonCount() still works, but not GetButton(). Does anybody knows why and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Wally
-------------------
void CTryBarDlg::OnGetToolbarInfo()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
int nToolBarHandle;
int nCount;
CToolBar *pToolBar;
CToolBarCtrl *pToolBarCtrl;
TBBUTTON tbButton;
// read tool bar handle from UI, obtaine dusing SPY++ before hand
UpdateData(true);
sscanf(m_sToolBarHandle, "%i", &nToolBarHandle);
// get a CToolBar object from the HWND of the toolBar
pToolBar = (CToolBar*)CWnd::FromHandle((HWND)nToolBarHandle);
// get CtoolBarCtrl object fromt the CTolBar object
pToolBarCtrl = &pToolBar->GetToolBarCtrl();
// get tool bar info from the CToolBarCtrl object
// !! working
nCount = pToolBarCtrl->GetButtonCount();
// get button info from the CToolBarCtrl object
// !! not working
memset(&tbButton, 0, sizeof(TBBUTTON) );
pToolBarCtrl->GetButton(1, &tbButton);
}

I having a strange problem in an OpenGL data visualization project I am working on. My display scene has two alpha-blended planes above an opaque object. The upper plane has an alpha level of 0.8 and lower one is at 0.4. It works really well. Most of the time.
Here is where the weirdness comes in. I have tried this on a older Matrox card, a laptop with an ATI chip, a TNT2, a GF2 MX, and a GF3. It works great everywhere except for on the GF2 MX. I have even tried two versions of GF2 MX cards : an older one and a new MX 400. I have even tried the last two driver revs, 21.93 and 23.11. It also works fine in SW rendering mode on all cards.
What I am seeing is tearing where the lower translucent plane is showing through the upper plane in broad stripes when the object is zoomed far away from the camera.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this ?
|
|
|
|
|
I fixed the problem. I switched the order that the two planes are being drawn and it works just fine now.
I still think it is really weird that this problem only shows up on one kind of card. Oh well.

I've added an XML manifest to one of my programs so that dialog box controls are painted using the new Windows XP visual style. This works just fine. But, the program's toolbars don't get repainted properly. I am using the flat style with gripper, and the gripper doesn't appear correctly.
Has anybody figured out a solution to this problem? Does anybody know if it will be fixed in a service pack?

I'm loading font from the file( it's not binary image, but grayscale) So I'm building lists so I can dispaly messages with the font. If I disable blending, message is in the black square, but wiht blending I don't get a desired color. Is there a way to setup blanding so I'd get what I want? Thanks
Regards, Alexander.
