 Hi folks,
Two questions from a medium skilled programmer.
First, I would like to write a program that displays the current time/date and continually updates it. Do I need to use the struct tm from the header file time.h? Second, I would like to be able to determine my program's compile time and also how much memory it takes up. I remember the Borland compiler use to print out this information every time that you compiled but I have not yet figured out how to get this information from visual studio.
Thanks!
Carolyn

At a command prompt, or in a GUI application? In either case, you can use the time() function to get such information.

Only if you are using functions like asctime(), gmtime(), or localtime().

the Visual C++ compiler provides this information, but only if you change its correct settings into what you want. i don't remember exactly which settings are to change, but you can search fot it.

Hi everyone,
which event must i manipulate to desactivate the moving of a Child Frame?
And the event for Minimize/Maximize too
I tried already OnShowWindow, OnMove, OnMoving
but if i don't call the base-c***ion, the frame moves/maxi-minimizes anyway
Big thanks

I think you should handle the WM_NCHITTEST message. Call the base handler, and if it returns HTCAPTION, HTMAXBUTTON or HTMINBUTTON, then you should return HTNOWHERE. (Actually, it should be a method, dealing with window styles, for removing min- and max-buttons from caption bar).
I hope this works (but not for the case of using system menu -- this need additional work).
Are you sure the user will not be disturbed by these missfunctions?

Thanks, i'll try it
These missfunctions must be, it's a kind of Suspend-Mode, so this MDIChild blocks all access to other Frames ( Menu is desactivated )

If i'am over the button it returns HTMAXBUTTON or HTMINBUTTON, then i return HTNOWHERE
But i still can click on those buttons
But on the TitleBar it works excellent

Maybe you should simply change the windows styles and exclude those buttons? In MFC this can be done with ModifyWindowStyle(WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, 0) function, or adjust the styles in OnCreate handler.

Big thanks !
ModifyStyle(WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, 0); works great

Hi,
I'm using VS2005 / MFC in a MBCS build. For some of the buttons on my
dialog I am using characters from the Webdings font and setting the button
font like this (in OnInitDialog()):
if(m_pfntMonotype == NULL)<br />
{<br />
m_pfntMonotype = new CFont;<br />
LOGFONT lf;<br />
CFont* pFont=((CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_UP_BUTTON))->GetFont();<br />
pFont->GetLogFont(&lf);<br />
strcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Webdings");<br />
lf.lfCharSet=SYMBOL_CHARSET;<br />
lf.lfHeight=22;<br />
m_pfntMonotype->CreateFontIndirect(&lf);<br />
}<br />
((CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_UP_BUTTON))->SetFont(m_pfntMonotype);
etc..
This works fine, except for some (but not all) XP Themes that I have
downloaded, where the characters on my buttons show the character "8"
instead of the equivalent Webdings character for character code 56. (Ditto
for other characters (of course), not just 56!)
If I obtain the LOGFONT from m_pfntMonotype it is identical when the
Webdings character is correctly rendered (in Luna, etc.) and incorrectly
rendered.
Therefore, I am guessing the font mapper is incorrectly mapping the font.
Is there any way to guarantee that the Webdings characters are used on all
themes, or am I using the font inappropriately? Advice appreciated!
Thanks.
Pete

Only a bad guess, but could it be UNICODE related ?

As an alternative approach, in order to be sure your special buttons do not depend on installed fonts, I would suggest you to use bitmap buttons instead. See CBitmapButton MFC class.
I hope this helps.

disable _in_ the 3rd party library using an application of yours,
or
disable in your application using another .dll ?
A hook seems what you need...

Hi,
I have developed an ATL component in VS2005. When I try to register that dll in another system where VS2005 is not installed its not getting registered
but if try to register it in a system where VS2005 is installed its getting registered.I build the application choosing "Use MFC in Static Library".
What could be the problem?Any suggestion would be helpful.
thanks
Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

hi,
i think your dll requires some library, i mean some dependancy, you check for that( you can use dependancy walker).once you place that library in include path, you can register in any machine.Otherwise link that library statically.
thanks

You haven't shipped the libraries necessary for the component.
If you've used ATL for implementing the component then you'll need AtlCom.dll installed on the target system.
If you've used MFC you'll need both Mfc<VersionNumber>.dll and the runtime library MsVcRT.dll.
All those files are present on systems with VS2005 installed since they are shipped with the development environment.
I suggest you use the DependancyWalker to find out what libraries you have to ship with your component in order to make it work.
Hope this helps

What version of VC do you have ? There are free tools like Advanced Installer you can use.

I thought skinning an edit control would be easy since it is simple a plain window, but no such luck. I am skinning by subclassing, and hoping to use a bitmap and coloured text in place of the white canvas, but I have so far been unable to do so.
over riding the WM_ERASEBKGND has no effect since the white canvas is drawn directly over the top. Drawing the bitmap on the WM_PAINT message draws, but any line that contains text is converted back to white.
Has anybody done this before or come across any articles which does something similar?

Skinning an edit control is almost impossible, as an edit control draws itself outside of WM_PAINT. It can be done, but not without flicker.

And I have so far managed to 'partialy' create a flicker free skinning library 
I could implement it using a static control, but then I would lose all of the functionality of the EDIT class. Do you have any suggestions?
