yeah, draw text can do it.
u need to consider following points
1) select the font for the device context with the required escapement(angle).
2) use draw text to draw one line at a time (this is bcoz some flags are available only for single line). for doing this, calculate the rect for each line.

The way I do it is to use DT_CALCRECT to get the size of the text box needed.
Then, make a fresh rectangle, centred around the place you want to draw the text - in this case, in the middle of your original rectange (ie, rcMyRectangle.CenterPoint () ).
void MyDraw (CString s, CDC *dcOut, CPoint pt)
{
CRect rcSize (0,0,0,0);
dcOut->DrawText (s, &rcSize, DT_CALCRECT | DT_NOPREFIX);
CRect rcOut (pt,pt);
rcOut.Inflate (rcSize.Width () / 2, rcSize.Height () / 2);
dcOut->DrawText (s, &rcOut, DT_LEFT | DT_TOP | DT_NOPREFIX);
}
Tada!

Hi,
Thanks. I could justify my text now both horizontally and verically.
The modificaiton that needs to be done in the above code to justify the text in the required rectangle is, just replace the flags in the last drawtext function by : DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER | DT_NOCLIP.

what should minimum processor spacification for multimediea timers??
we are useing multimidiea timers for multithreading
our project is working well on "Inter(R) pentimu(R) Dual CPU" processor speed is 1.99GHz and RAM is 1GB
but when we run our project on "intel(R)Celeron(R) CPU 2.39 GHz",1GH RAM
project became slow and not capturing events properly (mouse events) and application is not synchronized and works irregular

Well, that's to be expected if your application is able to benefit from multiple cores, even though the clock frequency is increased a bit.

This is suspicious and has nothing to do with multimedia timers. It suggests that you have developed a nice bug somewhere.
The first thing I would look for is threads having their priority set to THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL, or even that the process is running at a higher priority than NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS.
Bumping the priority of a thread or process that consumes a lot a CPU time is always wrong and would lead to the consequences you're describing.
If this is the case, then the reason it works better on a multiple core machine is that one core handles the e.g. mouse input, while the other core is executing the the high prioritized thread doing nothing else.

In addition to Roger's reply...
I would really look at the design of the code.
I use multimedia timers in heavy multimedia applications (audio, video, etc.)
and it still works well on an old PIII laptop I have running at 1.7Ghz (if I
remember right) and only 256MB RAM.
The OS helps a bit - I saw an improvement in multithread performance starting
with XP, but still, the code has to be designed properly...

Hi,
I know this is not the right forum but as i could not see vb forum i am posting here.
I wrote small vbscript function to add registry key and value. here is the script.
strComputer = "."
Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
keyPath = "*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\WWBuildShell64Ext"
Return = oReg.CreateKey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ,keyPath
If (Return = 0) And (Err.Number = 0) Then
Wscript.Echo "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyKey\MySubKey created"
Else
Wscript.Echo "CreateKey failed. Error = " & Err.Number
End If
it is returning 6. What does it mean? how to solve this?
Regards,

You can ask your question on the Visual Basic[^] but I think you need to check return value of CreateKey.

Hi all,
Iam facing some strange problem with my application.
My application uses Comport to communciate with the device.
If my application only opened, I can open the serial port and close the port without any problem.
If I open my application and just close the serialport and open hyperterminal and connect it , after some work on hyperterminal again i want to switch to my application by disconnecting hyperterminal.
When I am opening the port again in my application my application hangs,
When it calls any API of comport like, SetCommState()as it is never returning from it.
Why application is hanging when hypertermianl opened and closed in between applciation open uart and close uart.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Sunil Kumar

How do you open the device?
Or in other words: what does your call to ::CreateFile() look like? (Post the code.)
Whenever you're developing software that communicates with communications port, it's usually very nice to have an application that tells you what is going on under the hood. I always use PortMon[^] written by Mark Russinovich. It will tell you exactly what Hyperterminal and your application is doing.

It may happen if your application (wrongly) relies on some initial state of the serial device (and the Hyperterminal alters it).
As remarked by Roger Stoltz, without posting the relevant code, you hardly will get any help.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

I'd like to use owner_draw on a button, but I'd like to draw a little bit and let windows draw the left.
How can I do this?
|
|
|
|
|
If I remember correctly, you could call Default() (but I've been proven wrong many times)
In my experience, either you do it or not do it; there is no middle ground when owner drawing controls.
This signature was proudly tested on animals.

The easiest way is probably to let the button draw itself then draw over the top of it - so, call DefWindowProc at the start of your owner draw handler then do your own drawing

Hey guys,
Sorry to be bugging everyone with silly questions, I am just wandering I have a project that I have used VC 6 to create, and I've just recieved a message from a client saying it doesn't work on the 64 bit version of Windows.
Is there a way of getting VC 6 to compile projects that work with 64 bit operating systems or am I stuffed. If not is there an emulator software you can use that will allow 32 bit apps to run on 64 bit systems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All the Best

Are they running on the 64-bit Itanium or something? Unfortunately VC6 is unable to produce 64-bit compatible binaries.
If your client is on a pure 64-bit architecture then you may have to compile your project with Visual Studio 2005 or higher which supports both x86-64 and IA-64 depending on the edition.
Another possible solution is to use the free compiler which comes with Microsoft Windows SDK[^] which also supports x86-64 and IA-64. This option may become a problem... especially if your using MFC.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

I think you must first understand why your 32-bit app does not work on 64-bit systems.
And VC 6 does not have 64-bit compilers.

A thought I had after posting the thread. Could it be the target operating system is missing the mfc42.dll? My project does use MFC.

Ideally all the dependencies must be part of your application's installation.
But then it shouldn't have worked on the 32-bit system either.
Mfc42.dll is not part of the OS.
It is installed when you install Visual Studio.
