How do you get the ntfs permissions of a share, i have used NetShareEnum to get the file share permissions and the other information about the shares.

Any help?

Hi all,
In my application I'm reading a file which is present in the project workspace .
when the exe is copied to the desktop from the debug folder and run from there, I'm getting an error message which says,"THE FILE COULD NOT BE OPENED"
How do i make the exe to look in to a specfic folder where i've kept the files? Thanks in Advance.

Yeah this will happen because the exe looks for files in it's path i.e the path from where it started up(not always) i.e. desktop. You've got to mention the filename path to solve this.

Or else you can do this.

Put the file where the exe is.

Then you use this function to get the path of the exe:

GetModuleFileName(...)

Append this path to the file name. Then it will work always.

Hi,
If you have a file other than your application's folder, then you should tell the exact path statically to your application.
If you are storing the file in your application or temporary or system folders then you can use functions to get the file's folder.

Remove WS_CAPTION style from the window's style.

Hide the status bar using m_yourSB.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) or If it's okay don't create the status bar at all.

Problem in activeX control events

17-Jan-06 20:22

Try messing with the windows styles. e.g.
HWND hWnd = ::CreateWindow("EDIT", "Hello", WS_POPUP|WS_VISIBLE, 0, 0, 100, 100, NULL, NULL, theApp.m_hInstance, NULL);

Makes window with no title bar and such.

Hi
I've created a MFC activeX control in vc++ 6.0. I am using that control in vb 6. I am catching the events fired by the control in the VB application. The problem
is that when i step through the application in VB i catch all the events thrown by the control however when i compile the application and run it i am unable to catch the events. Also when i debug the application in Visual C++ i can see that the events are being fired properly but VB application does not respond appropriately. Any body know why this might be happening?

Thanks

Hi While pressing ESC key by default ID_CANCEL(OnCancel) message is calling.

So write code inside OnCancel() to prevent this. Check the keypressed and if it is ESC key then dont call CDialog::OnCancel();

OnCancel will be called when Esc is pressed or the Cancel button with the id IDCANCEL is clicked.

The IsDialogMessage API provides this functionality. You would have to filter the messages passed to it - this will not be possible for dialog in general as you have not got access to the message pump. An alternative, if you can't use this technique, would be to use hooks (SetWindowsHookEx).

The other guys have a point - My solution was like killing a gnat with a sledgehammer. Perhaps just use the GetAsyncKeyState to see if the escape key is down in a OnCancel overide.

The simplest solution is to override the PreTranslateMessage()! Within the handler, write this code...

if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE)
  wParam = NULL; //yeah you read it right!
