This executable is used to generate unique identifiers, or GUIDs, that identify classes, objects, and interfaces.
Why can I not use just a random number or something of that sort instead of using an identifier generated by GUIDGEN for doing stuff like creating a mutex etc? 
Thanks!

You can, but the point of a GUID is that you can be (almost) certain of no name collisions. For example, lots of people might call their mutexes "MySingleInstanceMutex" but no one else will use "{182C40F0-32E4-11D0-818B-00A0C9231C29}" or whatever GUID you get from GUIDGEN.

I am creating a property sheet with 2 property pages and several controls on the property sheet (they are shared by the 2 property pages so they need to be on the property sheet). I am having to code all of these controls without the benefit of the designer.
I am having a terrible time with the radio buttons  -- I create my group box, then each of the radio buttons. They draw just fine, but the top radio button is set as default (this is fine) and if I try to select the other radio button it is marked as selected and then the app hangs.
Here is the bit of code for the 2 radio buttons:
DWORD dwStyleRBtn1 = BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP;
CRect rectRadioBtn1(LEFT, TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM);
m_RBtn1.Create("RBtn1", dwStyleRBtn1, rectRadioBtn1, this, IDC_STATIC);
m_RBtn1.SetFont(pFont);
DWORD dwStyleRBtn2 = BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP;
CRect rectRadioBtn2(LEFT, TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM);
m_RBtn2.Create("RBtn2", dwStyleRBtn2, rectRadioBtn2, this, IDC_STATIC);
m_RBtn2.SetFont(pFont);
m_RBtn1 and m_RBtn2 are CButton objects.
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks,

Property sheets are containers for property pages. They are not enhanced dialogs. In fact, if you look at the source code for CPropertySheet, you'll see that it derives from CWnd, not CDialog.
I think you can create the effect you are looking for using a header control in a dialog. The two property pages are then simple modeless dialogs (that are children of the dialog containing the header) that you show/hide based on messages from the header control. The additional radio buttons can then sit in the 'parent' dialog.

I am doing some more work on my article, and am having problems with a CList<> static object for one of my base classes.
static CList<CPlugInObject, CPlugInObject&> m_PostPlugInMapList ;
CList<CPlugInObject, CPlugInObject&> CPlugInMap::m_PostPlugInMapList ;
Now if I step into the constructor of this, its all OK.
But when I access this object in a member function like this:
CPlugInMap::m_PrePlugInMapList.AddTail(entry) ;
i get an assertion error in objcore.cpp at line 101
if (!AfxIsValidAddress(pOb, pOb->GetRuntimeClass()->m_nObjectSize, FALSE))
{
TRACE0("ASSERT_VALID fails with illegal pointer.\n");
if (AfxAssertFailedLine(lpszFileName, nLine))
AfxDebugBreak();
return;
}
And if I look at the pOb object, the vtable pointer is in deed NULL! But it shouldn't be!
A bit of background in this is that this code is from a library (.LIB only) which the application and a DLL both link against. So, I could possibly have 2 copies of the same static object, one in the app and one in the DLL.
So, do I have to make my library also have a DLL which both the APP and DLL link against to make sure I only get one copy of the object, or is there another way around this?
Any suggestions welcome!

Yep, your static object exists in both executables (.exe and .dll).
You can switch to .dll. You can also create different integration model (from the class names I guess you're creating some plugin framework.) which uses/knows of plugin map only in .exe or main .dll.

Cheers Tomasz, it was late last night when I encountered the problem and didn;t really have the time or the inclination to look further into it just then. THanks for clarifying my thoughts.

Yes, thats exactly what I am doing.

I have created a statically linked VS6 application that runs on a CD-ROM that will search and display encrypted data from that CD. It has to be a self-contained app with no dependencies ie run anywhere from any CD, this is working fine in a single cd state.
But the client wants multi-cd capability for future growth and when searching from the 1st CD everything again is fine, but when searching for data on the second CD, W2K throws up a dlg with this msg 'The wrong volume is in the drive. Please insert volume [Name of CD] into drive R:.'. After clicking any button I get this message 'The instruction at "0x00439558" referenced memory at "0x00439558". The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of "0xc0000012"'.
On Win95 I just get the blue screen (cannot read CD) only!
Any ideas on how to resolve this (I have attached remotely to a debug version and stepped through the code, still no wiser)??

When you say "multi-cd" here, I assume you are talking about multiple CD's and only one CD-ROM drive. Your problem seems to indicate this.
First you have to understand how loading and running programs is handled on NT. Then you apply the linker switch
/SWAPRUN:CD
Now your binary image (the program) is available even after you remove the mentioned CD.
If you also want to "help" the user by ejecting the wrong CD and ask for the correct volume, you can have a look at Q165721.

Hello,
I have created (in code, not the wizard) an array of CEdit boxes. I would like to be notified when the user has clicked in one of these boxes (and which box they clicked in). How would I get MFC to send me a message?
thanks!

IDC_EDIT1 - IDC_EDITn are in range

Thanks for the reply...
So in my code, the "IDC_EDIT1" would be the 2200 (the control's nID)?
m_CEAvailable[i].Create(EditStyle | WS_TABSTOP, CERect, this, 2200+i);

Yes! but I would advise you to define IDC_EDIT1 (or whatever the name you like) and use it instead, cleaner!

Hello,
I would like for my report-mode list control to do the following:
* Have text-wrapping on one line so that it's taller than a regular one-line item.
* Change the font (not just color) of each item and further, each sub-item.
Any suggestions or pointers to where to search? I've searched the MSDN somewhat and haven't found anything obvious.
Thanks!

Look in the MSDN Library for "custom draw" in the sections on the Common Controls. In the October 2001 edition, it's under Platform SDK Documentation \ User Interface Services \ Windows Common Controls \ Custom Draw Controls.

I have been playing around with ICopyHook, and have made a Shell Extension which implement ICopyHook, and it works perfect 
The only problem is that ICopyHook only works with printers and folders. Is there any way to make something similar for files...

My problem is:
I´m trying to replace my file name from the CString wich value is "C:\esContaX\Archivos\TblPols.dbf" to finish with something like this: "C:\esContaX\Archivos\" using the following code: m_strAppPath.TrimRight('\'); , but I get the following errors:
--------------------Configuration: esContaX - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
esContaX.cpp
C:\esContaX\esContaX.cpp(230) : error C2001: newline in constant
C:\esContaX\esContaX.cpp(232) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before 'return'
C:\esContaX\esContaX.cpp(232) : warning C4305: 'argument' : truncation from 'const int' to 'char'
C:\esContaX\esContaX.cpp(232) : warning C4309: 'argument' : truncation of constant value
Error executing cl.exe.
esContaX.exe - 2 error(s), 2 warning(s)
Can somebody help me showing me how can I acomplish this.

"\" is an escape character in C-strings. Like "\n" for newline. Just double up the "\" to get a "\".

Ok this is the complete code
CString strSection = "Files";
CString strStringItem = "DataFiles";
m_strAppPath= theApp.GetProfileString(strSection, strStringItem);
// the value of m_strAppPath Now is = C:\esContaX\Archivos\TblPols.dbf
TRACE(m_strAppPath.GetBuffer(m_strAppPath.GetLength()));
//so trace shows C:\esContaX\Archivos\TblPols.dbf
m_strAppPath.TrimRight('\\');
TRACE(m_strAppPath.GetBuffer(m_strAppPath.GetLength()));
//Now trace shows the same value C:\esContaX\Archivos\TblPols.dbf
return TRUE;

TrimRight would trim only from Right and the first character found is 'f', so it cannot remove any '\' character. but if your path was: "C:\esContaX\Archivos\TblPols.dbf\", it would remove it!
Hope that helps!

My release version is running fine with this:
xDontCare = "dontcare";
for (char* pc = xDontCare ; *pc ; pc++)
*pc ^= 0x30;
my debug version is crashing at the xor line. Why and how can I get past it? I rebuilt the project totally in debug version as well as release and its the xor....
help!

Don't try to modify read only memory. This is an undefined operation.

Which part is read only memoery? Sorry to be so sense. how would you do it?
Thanks,

Well it is a bit of an assumption on my part, but if xDontcare is just a char *, then the
xDontcare ="xxxxx";
sets xDontcare to point to a readonly string.
