Hi Mike:
Yes, that worked. Thank you.
Suffice to say that this is a bug in Visual Studio?

No... it's a feature designed to make you slow down to increase the quality of your work!

Hello guys,
I want to pass specific command line parameters to my application, when user
right clicks on a file(of any type), then selects Open with line and
then selects my application.
Which registry entries do I have to add ?
Thanks.

Are you sure they are still in the registry?

Odd. I just created an SDI application, modified the registry entry so that additional command-line parameters were passed in, and ran the application. I ran it once by double-clicking the associated file, and again by right-clicking the associated file and selecting Open With. In both cases, the additional command-line parameters were used.

At this point right here, do the correct registry entries exist? If they do, I'm not sure what the problem is.

There is any program from Ms Visual Studio 6 or .. ?

"graphics" ? Please specify.
VS has a Icon and Bitmap editor. Not all that great but without knowing specifically what you are trying to accomplish.....

make my own button "picture" (make a button look as Circle or oval) make the whole window of application another shape than rectangle

This is a very broad topic. The first part would be to get the graphics themselves. You can download them or create them using the VC bitmap editor or use a third party editor depending on your preferences. It is beyond the scope of these forums to discuss graphics creation.
Your best bet will be to get the graphics in .bmp format. Then browse the button classes on this site there are a whole bunch that will display bitmap buttons and select one for your needs and follow the instructions there.
As for reshaping the window, for Win2K or higher you could use layered windows and a transparent color key or you could use SetWindowRgn to set the window to a specific shape.

My suggestion is to use a waitable timer.
You create a waitable timer with a call to ::CreateWaitableTimer()[^].
Wait for the timer to be signalled with ::WaitForSingleObject() or similar.
If you're using a secondary thread you may want to stop the timer and exit the thread.
I suggest you signal an event for that, created with ::CreateEvent().
Unless you're familiar with multithreading I suggest you read Joe Newcomer's article[^] on the subject to avoid the most common pitfalls, such as avoiding ::sleep() as the plague and never call GUI related stuff from a worker thread.
Hope this helps

It's supposed to be hard, otherwise anybody could do it!

You could always try timeSetEvent to create a multimedia timer -- I have used that from time to time. That essentially creates the new thread for you and calls a function you specify when it times out. Saves you some of the details about thread management.

1. U can use the api : SetTimer() / KillTimer()
2. U can use the multimedia timer : timeSetEvent() / timeKillEvent()

I Believe that will be right way, as this will not interrupt your main thread when you call sleep function!

Hi
I want to put the PC into Standby Mode. When I do that the following error:
System Standby failed
The device driver for the "Alcatel Multimedia Keyboard gateway' device is preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update this driver."
Could you please resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Some device drivers are designed not supporting S3 State (Standby). When Windows requests all the devices to enter S3 state, these device drivers reject the request and issue some error code.
1) You may check if there any newer driver released by Alcatel for your keyboard gateway.
2) You may write an email to Alcatel customer support to find out if the driver supports Standby.

I have a simple MFC Appwizard exe application. I specify the "Release" directory for intermediate files and output files. However I specify altogether different directory,say "OutPut", for output .exe file. and I want that only .exe file should be be generated in this directory. However I observe that .exp file and .lib file are also generated at the same location as the .exe file. I could not find any option in project settings for specifying the path for .exp and .lib file.
This problem doesn't arise if its Appwizard dll.
How can one solve this issue.
Thanks!

Here's one way you could do it
Open the project properties and go to Configuration Properties->Linker->General. Then set "Output File" to $(ProjectDir)OutPut/$(ProjectName).exe
|
|
|
|
|
I am doing exactly the same thing as you suggested, however its not working out
|
|
|
|
|
So just to be clear here are the settings I'm using to get this to work
(for the Release configuration)
Configuration Properties->General
Output Directory = Release
Intermediate Directory = Release
Configuration Properties->C/C++
Object File Name = $(IntDir)/
Configuration Properties->Linker->General
Output File = $(ProjectDir)OutPut/$(ProjectName).exe
Is that what you're using?
