I am not worried about my ablity to learn the matterial, I am mored concerned about wasting my time. I have two 4 year degrees under my belt (Computer Science / Philosophy (helps more than you would thing!)), know a dozen languages and have been writing code since I was in junior high.
One of the most important things I have learned is to always seek advice from experts when learning something new.
For now I will stick with Richard Jones's book and then maybe read the Sams Book later to learn all the shortcuts.

My experience with MFC and Win32 API is very limited. Heck, my programming experience is limited. I do know and will tell you that practices do wonders.
I believe one could not go wrong learning and practicing MFC and especially Win32 API. There is no such thing as wasting time with Win32 API. Microsoft designed Win32 API to be a foundational tool for Windows OS.

From the sounds of things you have enough experience that maybe you should consider reading the MSDN and maybe some of the stuff here on CP. The MSDN doesn't really show you how to program, but if you know that already, it documents MFC just fine.

An argument to a method said it takes an LPDISPATCH. I didnt find it in the mSDN. Anyways my purpose was to blank out a picture box (third party) and when I put FALSE in the function, it gave me the desired result. So what exactly is an LDISPATCH. How is it that FALSE is an LDISPATCH?

typedef IDispatch *LPDISPATCH;
Look for documentation on IDispatch

It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

I have had the same question some time ago, so my investigations might help you to.
IDispatch in COM is like history in life, it is the mother of everything.On the other hand they are like women, they dont have any useful feature but you still cannot exist without them.
If you have this poiter you can gain access to any other related pointer by calling QI (QueryInterface) on it.
Thus the pointer itself is of no ethical value.
Hope this helps.

I have a program in which most of my users wish to be able to press Enter to go from field to field instead of Tab.. I have been putting this off for quite a while because I have been assuming that I would have to override the CEdit class and all other resource classes that I use..
what ive noticed is that nowhere else in the software do you need to hit enter.. so I'm wondering if there is a way to always reinterpret an Enter key press as a Tab key.. Or even a whole dialog at a time?
any suggestions?

You could write an event handler for the WM_KEYDOWN event, and if the key pressed was event then call the default event handler after changing the key pressed to Tab.
Does that make sense?

Hi all
I have C++ application that I want people to demo via a webpage.
Is it posible to Write a Java Applet to interface my application?
I would of course have to serve the application off of my web server.
Is this possible??
any help appreciated.

Hi all,
I need to set quota limit for users on a shared folder on a file server.
How to implemented it in VC++? Is there a API function?
Thanks
|
|

Check these COM interfaces:
IDiskQuotaControl
IDiskQuotaEvents
IDiskQuotaUser
IDiskQuotaUserBatch
IEnumDiskQuotaUsers
AFAIK, there's no non-COM API with HQUOTAs and such.

Dear all,
This problem of mine has been bugging me crazy.
I have to load a 24bit .bmp file and convert it to a 32 bit bmp file.
I've manage to load the bitmap file, display it on the screen and even made the code to make it a 32bit bitmap.
The problem is to attach the modified bits to the m_bmpBitmap CBitmap object. Then I get the info of the m_bmpBitmap with the BITMAP structure.
BITMAP bm;
m_bmpBitmap.GetBitmap(&bm);
The bm.bmBits is 0x0 which it shouldn't be.
All the CreateBitmap() and GetBitmap() funtions return successful but I can't even display the image to screen and I feel it is due to bm.bmBits = 0x0.
I've even tried to create a 24 bit bitmap with the same method below and it didn't work too.
I would like to be able to view the image that I created and as well as to be able to save it. I welcome any new ideas on how to approach this matter.
Many many thanks.

I want to scroll to the last line of my edit box. Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks

I tried this...is there a reason it didn't work?
class CMsgBox : public CEdit<br />
{<br />
protected:<br />
LESULT DefWindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
and in the module:
#include "headerFile.h"<br />
<br />
LRESULT CMsgBox::DefWindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
LRESULT result = CEdit::DefWindowProc(message, wParam, lParam);<br />
if (message == WM_SETTEXT)<br />
SendMessage(EM_SCROLL, SB_BOTTOM, 0);<br />
return result;<br />
}<br />
Is there something I'm going wrong? Thanks.

My release build works but the debug build crashes at at the delete. It says its a memory check error. The release version sails on through. Actually the debug version will keep going after the crash(retry) then crash again, and retry restores it. So the logic is working but I'm doing something really wrong.
memory check error at 0x002F59AA = 0x00, should be 0xFD.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

char* photo1;
photo1 = new char [strlen(pDoc->m_db.m_photoInfo)];
strcpy(photo1,pDoc->m_db.m_photoInfo);
char* pDelimiter = strstr (photo1, ",");
ASSERT (pDelimiter != NULL);
*pDelimiter = '\0';
char* dbname = photo1;
m_PhotoDBName = dbname;
pDelimiter++;
CString mineName = pDelimiter;
<code> delete[] photo1</code>;
When I hit debug, it gave the error (user breakpoint called from code at (some address).
It went into dbgheap.c. Does this help in diagnosing the problem?

You need to allocate room for the terminating NULL
photo1 = new char [strlen(pDoc->m_db.m_photoInfo) + 1];

Well, that took care of one of them! The next crash is again at a delete[] (I just started using delete!) It turns out to be a variable I dont need, but still want to know whats wrong:
m_pCommandPhoto->ActiveConnection = m_pConn1;
CString partQuery = "'"+MineName+"'";
char* partQuery0 = new char(partQuery.GetLength()+1);
strcpy(partQuery0,partQuery);
CString SQLQ = "SELECT * FROM tblMine WHERE (DefID = "+partQuery+")";
char* SQLQuery = new char [SQLQ.GetLength()+1];
strcpy(SQLQuery, SQLQ);
AfxMessageBox(SQLQuery);
<code>delete[] partQuery0;</</code>pre>
Thanks,

You've used () in the new statement, which makes the length a parameter that is passed to the char constructor. This means that your newing with the non-[] form so delete [] fails
change it to
char* partQuery0 = new char[partQuery.GetLength()+1];

Thanks so much. So a new done my other way with () is legal? I didnt think we could do that. I appreciate your help,
Thanks,

Incidentally the release version was perfectly happy with it!!! Would this have shown up later as a problem in the release?

Yes, although it means an entirely different thing. This allocates one char and initializes it:
char* pch = new char ('a');Since chars and ints are interchangeable to a degree, you can stick a number less than 255 in place of 'a' above.
