How does one go about programatically (ie searching the registry, hidden API call, etc) determining the service pack for Visual C++?
|
|
|
|
|
it is enough?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\ServicePacks]
"latest"=dword:00000004

Hi,
Sorry, this is not a programming VC++ question...
I´m a VC++ programmer now for three years, and I´m thinking in becoming a FreeLance programmer, the problem is .... how to start ?, I´m living in Spain ( Málaga), and I would be interested in getting jobs, working from here and going to see the customer every X months. It is easy to get such jobs ?
Can anybody help me ( and teach me ) , a little about how to begin as a FreeLance programmer in Europe, If somebody is interested I can send my CV.
Sorry for disturbing, Thanks a lot:
Braulio

I don't know anything about the Spanish market, but here in the US, such jobs can be quite difficult to get.
The problem comes down to one of trust. They need to trust you to do what you say you will do, and that you can work unsupervised. You will usually need to work for a period of time conditionally, ie if you don't perform, you don't get paid and you don't get paid until you've finished the work.
fixed bid jobs are easier to get. You tell them "I'll do this for this much" and then you do it, and they pay you on completion of the job, no matter how long it takes. This takes a good reserve of cash on your part to keep afloat until they pay you (and they might take weeks or months to pay you after you've delivered).
You also need to check with your government about taxes for independant contractors and what rules you need to follow.

Hello "knoppenbonker"
First rtfm before you ask questions to this forum. For this time I spare you. Here's your code:
WSADATA wsaData;
struct sockaddr_in sock;
char hostname[128];
WSAStartup(0x0101, &wsaData);
gethostname(hostname, 128);
HOSTENT * lpHost = gethostbyname(hostname);
memcpy(&(sock.sin_addr), lpHost->h_addr_list[0], lpHost->h_length);
TRACE2 ("Host Name: %s IP address : %s",hostname, inet_ntoa(sock.sin_addr));
WSACleanup();

I am trying to get tooltips to work in a dialog application over a
static control.
In maindlg.h I declare:
CToolTipCtrl ctipQStatus
And in OnInitDialog:
RECT rcTest;
BOOL bTest = ::GetWindowRect(GetDlgItem(IDC_MGOOD), &rcTest);
CToolInfo ctiTest(TTF_CENTERTIP, m_hWnd, IDC_MGOOD,&rcTest, "Tooltip Test");
HWND hwTest = ctipQStatus.Create(m_hWnd);
bTest = ctipQStatus.AddTool(ctiTest);
ctipQStatus.Activate(TRUE);
Am I just completely missing how to use this?
Thanks,
sbl

I am using an MFC CListCtrl with multiple columns. I have two related problems:
1. I can select an item (column 0) by left or right clicking on it but subitems don't respond when clicked. I would like to pop up a floating menu on any item or subitem when right clicked.
2. There seems to be no way that I can get the control to set the subitem attribute to selected (LVIS_SELECTED) and display blue. I have looked at SetItemState (no good, can't see subitems) and SetItem (does not work, just ignores the status change).
Does anyone know how to make this SOB do as it is told and allow me to select a subitem?
Has anyone done this without MFC using only the SDK API?
|

Make this call:
yourListCtrl.SetExtendedStyle( yourListCtrl.GetExtendedStyle() | LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT;
Then, clicking anywhere in a row will select the whole row. This requires v4.70+ of the common controls.

A thousand blessings upon you! Works like a charm. (It's all there in the MSDN too. I must be getting old and blind.)

Does anyone know how to setup MSVC 6 to use a custom compiler? For example, I might want to use gcc or the intel compiler...
thanks
|
|

I tried the Intel compiler recently. They supply an addin (on the tools menu) which allows you to select the compiler to use.
I had some problems switching between the two - the tool seems to modify the DSP to change the variables that point to cl.exe and link.exe to point to their intel counterparts, and it sometimes doesn't do a very good job of cleanup when you want to revert.
The intel compiler, though, seems to honor all the VC settings flawlessly - doubt if gcc would. You might have to export the make file, change some .exe entries as above, then go from there - make files are not very portable.
You might want to check out Al Stevens work on quincy99 - http://www.midifitz.com/alstevens/quincy99/
He's been working on a new front end, and I think it works with the Mingw32 port of gcc.

I need to sent data from my application to MS Word and printing them there. What is the simplest way for doing this ?
|
|
|
|

i'm not expert for this but because of longer no-reply:
open explorer, options, file types, microsoft word document, edit, print, edit and you will see what explorer makes
all msdn examples i see are in vb what is not my domain
maybe this helps you

Hi all,
Do you know how to use the function sndPlaySound() in MFC? I had put it in my program, but it
got an error. Is it any header file or other declaration is needed before calling this procedure?
Thx for your help!
|
|
|
|
|
sndPlaySound is obsolete, use PlaySound instead.
Header: mmsystem.h.
Library: winmm.lib.
|
|
|
|
|
But do I need to declare anything else before calling this function, or any objects should be created first?
Since I get "undeclared identifier" when calling this function.
Thx a lot!

Hi All,
My app uses a MS Access db that is password protected. I have a new requirement that I create a copy of the db that is not protected (I'm using DAO). Is there a way to unset the password of the copy from within VC++? I guess I can always build the copy from scratch (so the password isn't copied), but that would be a pain.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I want to make a 2D array of CString in MFC.
Can I know if it is possible and how to declare and make it work??
Thx for your help!
|
|
|
|
|
Don't hate me but I don't think you can do it. I gave up after trying for a week. Currently I'm using linked CStringArray objects. Not neat but works.
|
|
|
|
|
Why I need to hate you that you gave me advice? ^v^!
Anyway, can I know how to use CStringArray to construct a 2D array? Can you show me how to use and declare it?
Thx for your sincere help!
|
|
|

|

I think I misunderstood something. (Read it at 4.30am so...)
What I tried to do was a 2D CStringArray, derived from CStringArray, so that I could dynamicaly assign CString objects and have the array class allocate and clean up at run-time. I'm using "CStringArray fred[ 2 ]" at the moment. This is not neat at all as I said but works OK. I ass-u-med the original post was about this.
