Try this: http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/cinifile.asp
One more tip, if you have this kind of Qs, try first in this sites search engine, almost always you'll find your answers there + source code + examples. It never failed me before...;)

Can you read?
I need numbers and names of the INI.
I can't find the way to do it with your class.

Man, I'm only trying to help, don't get hostile... OMG | :OMG:

Well, another idea, try to open the INI not using registry function (FILE, CFile, istream*...). Read lines, one by one and look for '[' and ']' (use strtok, or something).
Locate them and cout. That's about it.

Notify me if works(or not).

GetPrivateProfileSection() works better? If so, silly me... I'm always trying to invent the wheel Unsure | :~

I have written a class in a seperate file which I want access to the statusbar. How do I change the message in the statusbar from this class? I have included the "stdafx.h" in the class I defined.

Confused | :confused:

If what you want is a value being displayed in the status bar (like coordiantes in a picture-editor), try this:
You set a variable in your CDocument class.
This variable is then displayed via a ON_COMMAND_UPDATE_UI-handler in either your main frame or your view.

Thanks for your reply, jhwurmbach!

I think I have to repharase my question. I have written a class method which does all the screen output, but the output is onto the screen via "cout". Now, I am trying to rewrite this class such that I could output my message onto the statusbar in windows instead. I understand that "CView" is the one that handles the output in windows. I am trying to change my original DOS-output class to a windows-output class one. I hope u can understand what I am trying to say. U have any suggestion?

You don't want to simplay have a 'logging' style output in a Window (for that, try searching the site), you want to show one output line in the status bar, right?
Do we talk about the same 'StatusBar'-thing?
I talk about he same bar that in IE contains the little globe and the 'Internet' text at the right bottom of the window. in the same bar, with SSE-connection, a little yellow lock shows up.
So, probably it is really easiest to let your class-method set a variable in the dochument and show that variable via ON_UPDTE_COMMNAND_UI.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried to use that statement u mention. It can't work, apparently SetMessageText is not a member of AfxGetMainWnd().

InvokeHelper question

ns23-Sep-02 3:05

23-Sep-02 3:05

I have a VB dll, and a VC client. In this snippet of code from the client :

BOOL _CRemoteCall::MoveProgressBarX(long hPBHWND, long iMin, long iMax)
{
	BOOL result;
	static BYTE parms[] =
		VTS_I4 VTS_I4 VTS_I4;
	InvokeHelper(0x60030002, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_BOOL, (void*)&result, parms,
		hPBHWND, iMin, iMax);
	return result;
}

how do I get that number 0x600.....? I think what the call does is it calls a particular function from the VB dll, but I just cant figure how out to get that number. Also I hope this number isnt machine specific (just cant be because its hardcoded...)

Thanks,
ns

Okay. thanks. I dont know how to get this DispID. Is there a procedure outlined somewhere that you know of? Is is somethin that can be answered in a post without too much trouble ?

Thanks,
ns

That depends... The only way I know is using the #import statement to import the dll. Then, in the .tlb-file generated by VC, you can see some const's called IID_SomeName. That's the ones you want Smile | :)

Hope it helps...

You can use OLE View that comes with VC++ 6.0. You open a typelib, select the appropriate interface (probably an IDispatch-derived one).
Browse through the methods and you'll notice ids.

Wonderful! Thats exactly where I found it (for the sample) after you directed me. APpreciate it!

Then I looked for a tlb in my VB prj folder and there wasnt one! So I have to locate a tlb file for my prj. Wonder if you have to tell VB to make it...
Thanks,
