Hey Ashish,

not sure to be honest, I've never noticed that artifact.

Guess you could just expand the border by 1 pixel with something like:
rect.top--; rect.left--; rect.right++; rect.bottom++;

Nonetheless, that's a rather interesting problem - I'll have to look into that, thanks for the heads-up.

Weel yes simon..And i believe expanding the border will not solve the problem...
My hunch is to select pen of particular color, say blue in my case and then redraw the borders.. But don't know how it's gonna work..

If you come to any decision. Please let me know about that..
I'm leaving now as my working hour is over.. Will see ya on Monday..

Happy Weekends..
Ta-ra..

Hey all..

I believe i've big prob now.. Actually i'm putting some controls on my dialog box. and i need my controls to be Transparent. i.e same color as of background.

For example i'm loading icon with the help of LoadImage and to make Transparent i'm passing "LR_LOADTRANSPARENT" as a last parameter of LoadImage.. But it actually taking black and sometimes Gray as background color... I believe that black border is creating prob...

What do you guys think?

New Stand-alone application

Hi,
I am planning to create a new application, it is targeted to windows platform, it contains basic user controls and have a duplex communication with COM port (virtual COM port).

I am planning to use Visual C++ for it.

But I am not sure what IDE I should use.

Would Visual Studio C++ Express Edition 2008 be good?

Should I use .NET, Is there any option not to use .NET Frame work.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Visual C++ express edition should be enough for your purpose. If you create a Win32 application then .Net framework will not be available.

Ok, thanks a lot, I have a little concern about the license as well, can I use this application for commercial purpose also... is there a way once I develop in Express edition or the 90 days evaluation copy (I have this) then I can buy the license for commercial purpose.

As far as I know you can use express editions to develop commercial application.

Hi All

How can i convert CString to LPCSTR?Array Is Cstring search[100] and LPCSTR as. I want to convert search[100] to as.Plz help me Rose | [Rose]

To convert a single object, just you need a casting like:

CString str;
LPCSTR pstr = (LPCSTR)(LPCTSTR)str;

But you can't use this technique for an entire array, you will need to create a parallel array and convert each element one by one.

Best regards,
Jaime.

Doing a double cast like that is not the proper way. Ever heard of CString::GetBuffer()?

That is relative, for read-only purposes, my proposal will be simpler.
Calling GetBuffer() implies calling ReleaseBuffer() later, according to MSDN configuration.

Jaime.

I am useing this code.Is it right or not.

char buffer_1[ ] = "c:\\Test\\sample.txt"; 
	char *lpStr1;
	lpStr1 = buffer_1;

	CString string = _T(lpStr1);
	int nLen = string.GetLength();
	LPCSTR lpszBuf = string.GetBuffer(nLen);
	
	string.ReleaseBuffer();

	
	LPCSTR pF=lpszBuf;

It could be shorter:

char buffer_1[ ] = "c:\\Test\\sample.txt";
CString string = _T(buffer_1);
LPCSTR pF = (LPCSTR)string.GetBuffer(0);
string.ReleaseBuffer();

Best regards,
Jaime.

You can use something like:
CString string = buffer_1 ? _T(buffer_1) : _T("");

	int nLen = string.GetLength();
