Looks great! I thought I'd have to go via cfiledialog which wasnt acceptable.
Thanks so much!

hi
how is it possible to call an oracle procedure from my vc++ application. i have tried it with the oracle ole c++ library, but this method doesn´t work because this library isn´t maturad enough, like there are several exceptions, when i connect to the db or when i call MoveNext in a dynaset object. I have read about an solution with the ole db dataprovider from oracle, but the problem is, that this works with COM and COM+ and so it is to complicated for me, because i am not experienced in COM.
Is there any simple solution for my problem?
thanks

I use ADO all the time to call Oracle stored procedures from VC++ applications.
Simply create an ADO connection, create a command object and execute it. There are some issues with returning Recordsets but these can be sorted by a few changes to the stored procedures.

I have a lot of fields in my database. I want to include all but one in my search. I dont want to have to type the names of all the fields in my SQL search like this:
SELECT Aa,b,c,d....FROM Table
Is there something like
SELECT * From Table BUT NOT xyz
?
Thanks,
ns

nope, not possible.
But (unless the field is type text or ntext or some other blob), it's probably quicker to use * and just not use the field. If you specify a finite set of columns to return, you'll slow your query down some.

Okay, thanks. I am putting my fields in a listbox, and didnt want my blob field to show up. SO ii suppose I'll test for it and exclude it while populating the box.

You can go the lazy route and just use *. But if your blob data can be large I would consider it a worthy optimization to type out all of the fields. You could use a stored procedure to keep from having to type it multiple times.

Great optimization observation. I'm in a catch-22 situation though - I dont know how many fields there are, or what the names are. SO I do a select * and iterate through the fields to get that info. (I populate a listctrl with the names, so I was contemplating catching the blob field name and filtering it out). I f I'm missing something obvious, I'd like to know....
Thanks,
ns

Try to use view instead of table for search.
|
|
|
|

WEll,
This means I go in search of what a view is. None of the simple SQL stuff and basic db stuff I've seen (and its very little) speaks of views. If you have any links let me know.
Thanks,
ns

Something like below. Same way you write a SQL statement to create table. Reasons you write one is to help organise your SQL statement call and optimize in some sense as it will be compiled into an object in your DBMS.
create or replace view v_something as
select S.ID, S.CODE, U.NAME
from
salesman s, user u
where
U.id = S.User_ID
with read only

AFAIK, there's no easy way for that. You may try to use MFC approach: set the WH_CBT hook before calling MessageBox, subclass the message box and modify the background by intercepting WM_ERASEBKGND.

Thanks for your help!
but I'm a beginner,and I don't know how to set the WH_CBT
hook.Can you explain it more clearly or post code to me?

Hi,
I have a CFormView based application. The dialog is created using the dialog editor. When I compile and run the program the initial size of the window is always too small to show all controls, resulting in ugly scrollbars.
I am looking for a smart way that ensures that the initial size of the application window is just big enough to show all controls.
How do I do this?

Look at WM_GETMINMAXINFO. You can specify the min and max size of your frame, so your formview fits.

Thanks. One more question. How do I determine the required size. For example, I draw four listboxes next to each other. How do I determine the total size of these listboxes and thus the total dialog size.

Hi!
I am trying to build an SDI with some dialog box in it. Those dialog box contain buttons. I want be able to click those button and then retreive data from my CDoc derived class and then do some process with it. After that I want to update the list box in the dialog box.
I've tried adding message handler in the dialog box class but then I can't process the data as I can't get to the data in CDoc like the CView class did by using GetDocument(). I've tried many things but it did not work. Can a button in dialog box be used to invoke a function in CDoc or CView derived class?
Does anyone knows how to retrieve and send data from dialog box to CDoc derived class or CView derived class? I desperately need some example

Add a document pointer to your dialog class and set it before calling DoModal(). This will give you access to the document when the user clicks the button:
class CMyDlg : public CDialog<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
CMyDocument *pDoc;<br />
};<br />
<br />
CMyDocument::OnShowDlg()<br />
{<br />
CMyDlg dlg;<br />
dlg.pDoc = this;<br />
}

I had exactly the same Q. My understanding, however, is that the dialog should be placed in the view, and not the document. the 'CMyDocument::OnShowDlg()' line in one of the replies before implies that the dialog is not part of the view. Is that correct?
Isn't there a way to have the DDX from the dialog directly update member variables in the document class? Dialogs updating document class(es) seems to be such a common occurence, such that someone must have a straightforward answer to this. Thx you all,
Ralf.

Hey Zayax,
I'm new too, but I think you want to use DDX. Essentially, you create a link between the dialog and it's parent, and transfer info that way. I'm still learning about, and it's caused me some headaches over the past few days, but try that direction in your searching.
Hope that helps some.

Special thanks to all the Gurus that had help me. Sorry I can't respond earlier to your reply because my internet provider connection has been down until now. Your advice has worked.

For using Smart Pointer, it'll handle all reference counting for me. However, for some cases, I couldn't use it.
Can anyone tell me the following functions if AddRef() is called automatically, or I should call it explicitly.
1. CComObject<t>::CreateInstance()
2. CComObject<t>::QueryInstance()
3. CoCreateInstance()
4. SmartPtr->CreateInstance() -- (i supposed addref-ed auto)
5. SmartPtr->QueryInterface() -- (i supposed addref-ed auto)
6. pUnknown->QueryInterface()
I see from many samples, the codes are just called CoCreateInstance() or pUnknown->QueryInterface() to return the pointer directly without calling AddRef(). It will do automatically ?
