VC6 is three versions out of date. As such, it does not support .NET, and datagrids are part of the .NET framework. Have you seem the ultimate grid ? http://www.theultimatetoolbox.com/?CID=CPTbxTop[^]

The reason this product exists is that there is no useful grid that comes with VC6, or even MFC to this day. There are some free grids about, in fact, Chris Maunder wrote one, which is on CP somewhere. Obviously, UG is better, that's why it's a commercial product, but the free one may be all you need.

You might consider using the MSFlexGrid (Active-x) control Grids.

I am developing an application that is available in multiple languages.

Currently we set the UI language for the application using an installer which means that you can run in German on any language OS. However there is one problem and that is with Microsoft dialogs and wizards. They seem to want to load the resources based on the current locale.

An example is: OS is English, Locale is France, and you install German application. This results in French resources being used for property sheets while German is used everywhere else.

There are two ways that I have found to stop this. One was to create a seperate DLL for each language. However the company I was hired to do localization work for seems to still be in afterthought mode and there is too much resistance for this. Not to mention if I had unlimited time to really do localization right there are many problems to fix.

The second way was to call SetThreadLocale(). This loads the wizards correctly, however I keep seeing that SetThreadLocale() is a bad function and should never be used. Is this true?

We already use our own version printf() to allow different non-standard tokens to be used in strings. So I also overwrote this so the use of formatting numbers, dates, and other localization settings is already preserved based on user locale.

I just wanted to make sure I would or wouldn't be making a huge mistake using SetThreadLocale because I didn't know all the reasons it has been blacklisted.

Thanks

Localization / Internationization is not a simple task. It will be more complex if your application is not UNICODE app & need to support asian languages (eg. Traditional/Simplified Chinese / Japanese / Korea).

Use SetThreadLocale() is fine if it solves your problem. But in my experience, it didn't.

MS Press has a good book for that but I cannot find the name.

There is a new book "Internationalization and Localization Using Microsoft .Net" which I havn't read.

hi everyone
im developing a program that among other things draws images on a form; but im having this little problem
when i draw a large image and move the window several times it doesn't display the image or sometimes it displays part of it
is there anyway to fix this ?

You need to draw the image in your OnPaint handler, then it will be drawn whenever your form needs to refresh itself.

Also check that you are deleting all your GDI objects correctly. If your app runs out of them it can cause unusual display problems.

A good way to check for GDI leaks is watching the GDI object count in the Task Manager, finding them is another problem altogether.

Hi!
I am trying to run an .exe file in my C++ code.
Let me say,
I have do.exe program.
And another control_do.exe program that can run do.exe conditionally.
Any code suggestion that is generic, not VC++?
I am using Visual Studio 2005, but code is standard c++, but VC++.
Thanks!

Use shell Execute
for example this line below opens a browser connecting to the appropriate link passed to it where xyz is the name of the site
ShellExecute(NULL, NULL,"http://xyz.com", NULL, NULL,SW_NORMAL );

How do I do this:

typedef enum Something {

  FirstValue,
  SecondValue,
  ThirdValue,
  FourthValue,
  Etc

} Something;

int main( void )
{
  Something MyVar;

  MyVar = SecondValue;
  MyVar++;  // I get "binary '++' : 'enum Something' does not define this operator or a conversion to a type acceptable to the predefined operator" at this line
}

One possible solution is casting via numeric type such as integer.

Try

MyVar = (Something)(MyVar + 1);

This is dangerous behavior since MyVar+1 may not be in Something such as:

<br />
typedef enum Something {<br />
  FirstValue=0,<br />
  SecondValue=2,<br />
  ThirdValue=4,<br />
  FourthValue=6,<br />
  Etc<br />
} Something;<br />
