Cedric,
Thanks for the help. I was confused by the rect.Offset(1,0) in what it really meant. It means to shift the rectangle 1 pixel to the right. Why 1 pixel, I wondered?
In truth, you can get a better result if you shift it by the size of the first toolbar plus 2 pixels. By shifting only 1 pixel it causes the second toolbar to be smack up against the first, with no space to breath. Adding the extra 2 pixels gives a nicer look.
Thanks again,
Ilan

Is it possible to find out what type of account the user running your application has, ie. whether they are admin/super-user or just a user?
|
|
|
|
|
PCHUserSettings.IsAdmin
The IsAdmin property retrieves a Boolean value that indicates whether the user is logged on as an administrator.
|
|
|
|
|
Determining what group(s) a user belongs to is not the same thing as finding out if they are an administrator or not. For the former, check out NetLocalGroupGetMembers(). For the latter, check out MSDN article Q118626.

How do you people manage resources when using a source control system ?
here, we always end up having duplicate IDs ( same number for 2 or more different IDs )
We are using SubVersion; so everyone can locally modify the resources without knowing what others are doing; and when updating, the files get merged without problem.
I could ask our IT team to upgrade to the latest SubVersion which support file locking, but that might take a long time to do.
The problem is that we are doing large amount of UI, and each one of us is modifying those files.
Any Ideas, Suggestions, Links ?
I have to look at Anna's
ResOrg[^], any feeback on that tool ?
Thanks.

To resolve the issue, I wrote some macros (for VC++ 6.0) that will allow you to edit the resource.h file, select any portion of the resource symbols, and then it will renumber them with a user-specified starting number.
It only requires that someone take the responsibility to renumber the resources after merges - and we assign that to the developer that made the merge.
Here's the macros I use:
Sub RenumResType()<br />
'DESCRIPTION: Renumber resource IDs sequentially for a specified type of resource<br />
RType = InputBox("Enter the type of resource you want to renumber?" + vbLf + vbLf +_<br />
"Example: IDC_ or IDD_" + vbLf +_<br />
"Be sure to include the underscore if needed.", "Resource Type", "IDC_")<br />
if len(RType) = 0 then<br />
Exit Sub<br />
end if<br />
<br />
iStart = InputBox("Enter the starting resource number you want to use", _<br />
"Starting Resource ID", "1000")<br />
if len(iStart) = 0 then<br />
Exit Sub<br />
end if<br />
i = iStart<br />
<br />
<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.StartOfDocument<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.SelectLine<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.SelectAll<br />
StartLine = ActiveDocument.Selection.TopLine<br />
EndLine = ActiveDocument.Selection.BottomLine<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.StartOfDocument<br />
for lineno = StartLine To EndLine<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.SelectLine<br />
CurrText = ActiveDocument.Selection<br />
pos = InStr(CurrText, RType)<br />
if pos > 0 then<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.EndOfLine<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.WordLeft dsExtend<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection = i<br />
i = i+1<br />
end if<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.StartOfLine<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.LineDown<br />
Next<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.StartOfDocument<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Sub RenumSelRes()<br />
'DESCRIPTION: Renumbers the selected resources sequentially<br />
CurrText = ActiveDocument.Selection<br />
if Len(CurrText) = 0 then<br />
MsgBox "No text has been selected"<br />
Exit Sub<br />
end if<br />
<br />
iStart = InputBox("Enter the starting resource number you want to use", _<br />
"Starting Resource ID", "1000")<br />
if len(iStart) = 0 then<br />
Exit Sub<br />
end if<br />
i = iStart<br />
<br />
StartLine = ActiveDocument.Selection.TopLine<br />
EndLine = ActiveDocument.Selection.BottomLine<br />
for lineno = StartLine To Endline<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.GoToLine lineno<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.SelectLine<br />
CurrText = ActiveDocument.Selection<br />
pos = InStr(CurrText, "#define ")<br />
if pos > 0 then<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.EndOfLine<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.WordLeft dsExtend<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection = i<br />
i = i+1<br />
end if<br />
Next<br />
ActiveDocument.Selection.GoToLine StartLine<br />
End Sub<br />
As you can see, there are two macros here - one will renumber all resources of a given type (IDC_, or IDS_, etc) and the other renumbers all resources you have selected.
Hope that helps.

Hi Maximilien,
ResOrg will spot resource ID conflicts either within or between files, generate detailed HTML reports showing them, and be used to renumber selected symbols via a symbol renumbering wizard.
I'd suggest a few things to make the process of managing IDs easier:
- If you can, namespace your IDs by module (e.g. IDC_MODULE1_NAME, IDC_MODULE1_FREQUENCY). That way you'll be able to see at a glance which module the symbol originates in.
- Allocate a defined range of symbol values for each module. That way, clashes between modules (which can cause some really odd behaviour if you're using MFC Extension DLLs) are far less likely.
- Give someone on the team responsibility for managing IDs, and make others listen to them (from experience, this is usually the hardest part)
Good luck! If you have any specific queastions about ResOrg or how to use it, please feel free to ask.

Not replying to Max but more to the thread... I need to establish source control on a multideveloper VIsual Studio project. Early on, we ran into problems with two or more developers working in the UI area. Merges just didn't happen easily. What we do now, and it has never failed us, is that we have a baseline project, and we cut/paste new dialogs from the new projects to the baseline. This ends up copying all of the dialog description plus the binary stuff at the end (VS knows how to completely copy the dialog object....).
Stop groaning - it works, and we were new to the IDE 18 months ago.
Now, I see that people just "check in" their new resource files, and, assuming there are no resource conflicts, Visual Source Safe knows how to merge the resource files correctly?
I know, I know - try it, and I will, but I'd like someone to confirm that it should work like this.
Thanks

Hi to everybody,
I am developping a graphic ActiveX that displays several IP addresses around a circunference and linked between them. it can occur that if there are a lot of IPs, they couldn't be seen properly. For that I would like to be able to zoom an area of the screen.
Is there any possibility to do this easily?
Thank you very much.

I have a structure which composes of structures , which is further nested with structures and the nesting goes for a certain depth .If i use this main structure in a class i have to initalize the whole of the structure their nested mambers which takes a lot of overhead while coding .Is there a faster way ot initialize this?
for eg:-
typedef struct
{
A *a;
B *b;
}Main;
typedef struct
{
A1 *a1;
A2 *a2;
}A;
typedef struct
{
A11 *a11;
A12 *a12;
}A1;
similarly for A2,B,B1,B2......and so on for all the nested members. if i have to use it in the class it takes a large overhead while initialising all the members using 'new' operator . Is there a better way of redesigning this coding?
hitherto shall thou come but not further thee

One alternative would be to initialize structure each in its own constructor.

How does one convert WCHAR to wchar_t?
I am the handsome one in the crowd.
|
|
|
|

No conversion needed.
WCHAR is wchar_t typedefed
typedef wchar_t WCHAR;

TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol. Can some one tell me the simple meaning or a scenarion of connectionless connection ?
|
|
|
|
|
if i remember well (not sure at all so  ) you can use UDP when you send packets to a whole network (not a determined peer).
now, if anybody knows much, i give up

TCP provides reliable data delivery, while UDP does not.

In simple terms, TCP is like a telephone call, where UDP is like a radio. Anyone who wants to listen to the radio must tune in to the proper station, or for UDP, they must "join" to the proper network address.
The radio station doesn't know or care who is listening (other than marketing and ratings, of course), just as the UDP sender doesn't worry if packets are lost or dropped. One use is for sending streaming video or audio where the sender just sends and whoever has "joined" gets to see the show.

Please some go through the code for UserCreate dialog and
give me the reason why i could not able to see the text box fields
as there are more than six and seven dialogs being called in Mainframe.cpp file. Each dialog has gone through the MFC App wizard
as this is the MFC SDI application calling ATL Dlls through COM+
instantiation.Please help me out whether I need to overload the
constructor in UserCreate class which MFC App is not allowing me to do
or any other suitable way to get it done as first as possible.
OnOk handler of UserCreate dialog, I could not see the entered data
in text fields while debugging. Please help me out if anyone knows.

Have they been added to the IDD_DIALOG_CREATEUSER dialog template?
