Help - Print out is in the format of horizontal flip

kezhu16-Mar-06 18:05

Hello:

I have an application which has a problem today, the print out was in the format of horizontal flip, i.e each line would be viewed correctly if a mirror is placed on the top of the line.

This kind of problem has never happened before. The printer is Brother HL-1230 Laser Printer. I have tried to work around the Printer Preference Settings in
Duplex Setting - Flip modes and
Page Setting - Mirror/Reverse print

without success as my print out was flipped horrizontally line by line. And the above two settings would flip or mirrow the whole page, and make the print out upside down, i.e. the first line was at the bottom and the last line was at the top.

The printout image could be found here
www.electrajet.com.au/downloads/flip.jpg

The program was written in MFC and c++. In the program, the document was printed line by line with help of CDC::TextOut(...), mapmode is MM_LOMETRIC.

Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Loading application along with the data from folder.
After file is created from the MFC serialization concepts, how we can load the same file from the folder with mouse double click operation. This is similar to load the .doc file in the word with the data.

Please provide the samples or inputs.

Hope I understood your question...

You have to associate a particular file extension with your application. So that when you double click the file it will be passed as a command line argument to your application. Now you have to parse your command line to find the name of the file and display it's data accordingly.

But first you have to create an association or mapping between a particular file extension and your application.

Just like .doc is associated with winword.exe.

You can create file associations programmatically or through windows explorer or through Registry.

Hi All,

Thanks for the Inputs.

I will explain in detail of the requirements.

1. Lets assume that, from VC++ through serialization i will store the data using CArchive class in file (ex. sample.ddd).
2. From the application, i can load back the file with the data using menu options.
3. But same way, what i want is how to open the sample.ddd file from mouse double click or keyboard enter from the folder. This needs to open the application first and then file data needs to open.

Pl. let me know the solution or sample code.

Regards,
Girish K R

Create registry value for associate editor to file type.

first add subkey to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with default value:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ddd]
@="DDDSampleFile"

second add subkey to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with default file type description:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile]
@="Sample File of Mine"

you can provide DefaultIcon which displayed by Explorer:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\windows\\notepad.exe,0"

then tell shell how to open this file:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DDDSampleFile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\windows\\notepad.exe\" \"%1\""

Of course you can do these actions by RegCreateKey and RegSetValue in your app.

at last ,you can double click the .ddd file in explorer to see the effect.

Help with set SQL cursor to SQL_SCROLLABLE

Hi,

I'm new to Visual C++ database programing.

I'm using ODBC cursor to connect to an Access database *.mdb file.

retcode = SQLSetStmtAttr(hstmt1, SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_SCROLLABLE,SQLPOINTER)SQL_SCROLLABLE, SQL_IS_INTEGER);

I used the above line of code to make the cursor scrollable to I can do SQLFetchScroll to go backward and forward.

However I got the following error message: Optional feature not implemented.

Please help.

Thank you very much

It probably means access doesn't support scrollable cursors.

In MFC handle the WM_CTLCOLOR. Use class wizard then add code like the following:

HBRUSH CMFCDialogDlg::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) 
{
     HBRUSH hbr = CDialog::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
 	
     // TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
     if (nCtlColor == CTLCOLOR_EDIT)
     {
         pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255,0,0));
     }
 
     // TODO: Return a different brush if the default is not desired
     return hbr;
}

Using Visual C++ (6.0) MFC, there is more than one way. If you search for "CEdit background", you will find 17 possible answers (see "Change the Background Color of an MFC Edit Control" ID: Q117778).

At the current time I am studying VB.Net (no choice) and in that you just call "sender.BackColor = color" ("sender" is an object derived control), which probably applies to C# as well (through the framework).

You could derive a class from a CEdit control and override the "OnEraseBkgnd" method, but there should be a better way.

That is the best I can do at the moment.

Where is the most appropriate place to save the placement of the MDI Frame window when the app is closing?

CWinApp->ExitInstance?

FrameWnd->DestroyWindow?

FrameWnd->OnCmdMsg?

I use the following so it gets stored on a per user basis...

void CMainFrame::OnClose()
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
WINDOWPLACEMENT windowPlacement;
GetWindowPlacement(&windowPlacement);
AfxGetApp()->WriteProfileBinary("Settings","Window",(BYTE*)&windowPlacement,
sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT));

CMDIFrameWnd::OnClose();
}

BOOL CYourApp::InitInstance()
{
// Other stuff removed for clarity

// The main window has been initialized, so show and update it.
// Also get previous settings from registry for position
UINT unSize;
WINDOWPLACEMENT * pWindowPlacement;

if (GetProfileBinary("Settings","Window",(LPBYTE*)&pWindowPlacement,&unSize)) {
pMainFrame->SetWindowPlacement(pWindowPlacement);
} else {
pMainFrame->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
}

pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();

return TRUE;
}
