By selecting multiple lines of text and hitting the tab key in Visual Studio's text editor, text can be shifted to the right. Is there a way to shift multiple lines of text to the left?

How about untabify???
I try the menu item, but it doesn't work...
It'd be nice to be able to untab... 
It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

Untabify changes all the tabs in the selection to spaces. You have to select text for it to do anything.

I try to find sources of any (even the simplest) source colorer add-in for Visual Studio 6.0. Have anybody got samples/links?
Thanks!

Although I don’t think this is exactly what you’re looking for, but VS does offer some basic syntax highlighting beyond the default. I ran across this file quite some time ago.
Create a file called UserType.DAT, place it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDev98\Bin\
Paste the following text into that file. The text with "%" in front is from the orginal file I found some where on the internet.

Hi all,
I've got a binary file which I need to read into my application, the file contains numeric data as well as strings (each one is seperated by a comma). The problem I've got is that the string data is of a variable length so I can't just grab 100 chracters.
As such I'm going through the file a character at a time, where I have string data I have a while loop which goes round until I find a comma, I then put the completed string into a member variable and then start on the next line. When I get to the numeric data instead of doing the above I just do:
ifs >> myDouble ; //ifs is ifstream
however this does not convert the data into numeric format as it always sets myDouble to 0, and when I then next go into a while loop to build up a string it never reads in a character and ends up as an infinite loop.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
cheers,
Andy

I had this same problem about five years ago where the original application would read in a character at a time from a file. If the file was 1MB in size, that's theoretically around 1 million disk reads. The items in the file were formatted as a number followed by a number followed by a \0 terminated string. The files were huge so a day to process them was not uncommon. I cut the processing down to a matter of minutes by using CMemFile and more intelligently processing the buffer. I read the two numbers using two read statements, and then knowing that the \0 terminated string could be no longer than, say, 200 bytes, I read the next 201 bytes into a buffer. I then searched that buffer using CString::Find() for the terminating \0 character. The next read statement started from the next character following.
Knowing how slow that application could be, the first few times I tried my version, I was not convinced it worked. When I passed it around to a few others, they were amazed at how fast it was.

cheers David, just thought I'd let you know that I've finally figured how to get the double values in:
fileA.get ( ( (char*)&myDouble), sizeof ( double ) ) ;

I am developing a component that will be adding to an existing program. I need to add a certain file and/or folder to the program files if that file and/or folder does not already exists. But this is also dependent on which directory the program is installed on.
How can I:
1. Check the registry, or some other method, to find which drive the program is installed on.
2. Check to see if a certain folder, on that drive, exists.
#2 should be pretty simple, but I am unfamiliar with programming with the registry.
Thank you in advance!

Without knowing any more about the program or how many assumptions can be made, this would require a search of each potential disk in the system.
You can always search the registry in lieu of the disk(s) but there is no guarantee that it will be any faster. If you knew that the program was installed somewhere under the C:\Program Files folder, or in one particular hive of the registry, it would help.

I've always used _access(..., 0) for this.

Well, I know it will be under either C:\Program Files or D:\Program Files or any other drive.
This check will be done during initialization of my singleton COM object. I was thinking a registry check would be faster than checking the disk.

Try this for starters.

Hi, im quite new to Visual C++ (so please go easy on the mombo jumbo thanks).
What i am looking to do is make a "open" dialog. I can easly do it with
<br />
CFileDialog ldFile(TRUE);<br />
if (ldFile.DoModal() == IDOK)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
This brings up a normal open window. However im trying to get it to be a open directory window (like this on http://img121.exs.cx/img121/446/open8js.jpg[^])
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks
Cult

While it can be done with CFileDialog, I think you might want to look at SHBrowseForFolder() first.

My application has several toolbars. The toolbars can be configured thru a command profile. One of them has 4 editboxes that recieve updates to display geographic coordinates. In some cases, I've noticed the updates in the editboxes of the toolbar start to 'bog down'. Can someone tell me specifically what I should be looking with respect to this problem (resource contention), such as WM_PAINT, WM..etc messages? Any help is greatly appreciated -

how do i use unicode support in MFC to create menu in other international spoken language that has support only as uniocode characters.i am not an expert in VC++ so please have a beginners approach.i use VC++ 6.0 and winxp operating system

First you'll need to define UNICODE and _UNICODE. After that you'll need to use Unicode-aware functions, methods, and types (e.g., LPTSTR) . CString is already Unicode-aware so nothing special needs to be done with it. For string literals, prepend them with an L.

In addition you also have to set the entry point symbol to wWinMainCRTStartup. This can be done in the Project->Settings menu->Link tab->Output Category->Entry-point symbol.
Also IMO, one is better off using the TCHAR macros rather then hard coding the unicode functions and string literals.

hi there, i am trying to obtain the 8-bit code for an image. I have found the edge map of an object so i now have black pixels showing the outline of the object on a white background.
I am wondering how I can extrct the bitmap code that contains the coordinates of the pixels that are black in the image.
I am using paintshop pro.
I am using a mathematical method known as the Hausdorff distance method to compare two images and recognise objects, in particular human faces.
If anyone is interested in my work I would be happy to post it on this site.
Hope someone can help me!
