That's what Win2k was called before it changed name, just before Beta 2, to Windows 2000.

If I run my project in with the button that stops it at a breakpoint, (and out in NO breakpoints), the UI comes up with a controlk enabled. If I run this same with the ! the control comes up disabled. How can this be? How do I track this down?
Appreciate your help,

So you're saying that when you run it with the debugger, a control in your dialog box is enabled, and when you run it without the debugger, the same control is disabled?

Yep..thats what I was trying to say....
Anyways I did find it was code related , but why it worked in the debugger I dont know!!! Thanks for giving me the words....

I have a VC++ 6.0 compiler at home. I was able to make a MDI application
quite easily. When I create a new project my VC++ 6.0 I have at home
allows me to choose what type of software I am going to create (MDI, DLL,
console etc.) It also has a class wizard which generates code for me.

What version of VC++ 6.0 am I using at work? Should not VC++ 6.0 = VC++ 6.0

NO
VC++ 6.0 == VC++ 6.0

Hi!
The listbox attached to a CComboBox is always displayed on top of and nerver clipped by the parent window. Is this possible to accomplish with other controls, like an ordinary CListBox (like IntellSense), and if so, how do you do it? I've tried setting the style WS_EX_TOPMOST, but it doesn't seem to stick on a CListBox control...
Thanks
There are no facts, only interpretations

The list box that's part of the combo box has no parent (well, maybe the desktop). It has the style WS_POPUP.

I have a class with several members> Theres a deque of these CImage objects:
std::deque<CImage> myObj. At one place in my code I need a deque of a finite size n, which is loaded with n null CImage objects.
How do I make a null object? Just push_back ing (0) doesnt compile. SO do I need to do:
CImage myIMage = new CImage;
myImage.attributeA = 0;
myImage.ATtributeB = 0;
..
etc?
then do
for (int i = 0; i <n; i++)
myDeque.pushback(myImage);
delete myImage;
Appreciate your help,

You need to store CImage pointers in the deque instead of CImage objects.
e.g. std::deque<CImage*> myObj;
Then you can store null pointers inside the deque as well as created CImage objects.

Or add an IsValid() method to your CImage object.

My problem is with pre-build events. I have a custom resource compiler that receives as input a directory name, then it compiles all custom resource files in that directory and generate a header (if different from the previous version). So I want my visual studio to ALWAYS run that command line, don't matter if it thinks the project is up to date... I've tried several things, but nothing works properly. The pre-build event never works right because it thinks the project is up-to-date and don't execute the pre-build.
Any help would be great on that

I can only recommend a sneaky solution:
1. Change the date of your computer to some time in the far future, say two years from now.
2. Take a source file (from the project) that you never change, open it, save it, and make it read-only.
3. Reset the date of your computer.
Now when you build your project, that file will always be recompiled, and your pre-build stuff should work.

Alvaro

That data change trick works, I've tried before. The problem is that visual studio always says "The project configuration(s) are out of date, Would you like to build them?", which is very annoying. I wonder if there is another way... Maybe I'll have to create a custom tool and manually run it before the project compilation, but it's far from the ideal solution. And another problem is that other programmers will use this project.

Im wondering if you could get a command line/dos version of the 'touch' utility and set the dir/project files date to a previous date in the pre-build step (may need to fire off a batch file) - would that force visual studio to rebuild ?? .. its easier than continually changing the date on the computer ...
or build a quick and dirty 'touch' yourself, or use someone's cp article for a head-start...

How can i write a progarmm that resides background and replaces any predefined word that user types in with another word ?
|
|
|
|

Install a keyboard hook using the SetWindowsHook function (there are many articles here on CodeProject on how to do this).
Save all the characters you receive into a buffer.
When the last x chars are your word, use the keybd_event or SendInput functions to simulate backspaces and then your word.
This should work.
Another approach would be to get the handle of the current active window the user is typing in. When you have the handle you can get and set its text.
So get the text, look for the string, replace it, and set the controls text.

How does one change the desktop image in code? I would like to write a program that makes a desktop image containing the ip address of my system.
I have found what I think is the right value in the registry. I just need to be able to refresh the desktop to so the changes take effect.
Cheers,
Clint

This code gets the key, checks for a certain bitmap, loads the correct one, and then tiles it. Hope this helps
lResult = RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
"Control Panel\\Desktop",
0,
"",
REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
KEY_ALL_ACCESS,
NULL,
&hKeyResult,

if (lResult != ERROR_SUCCESS){
printf("Houston we have a problem\n");
}
lResult = RegQueryValueEx( hKeyResult,
"Wallpaper",
NULL,
&Type,
(unsigned char*)cTmpData, // address of data buffer
&cbData );
//
// If the background is NOT the correct one, then change the background
// to the appropriate one
//
if (strstr(cTmpData, "mypic.bmp") == NULL) {
//strcpy(cBuff,cXvision);
if (getenv("SystemDrive") != NULL)
sprintf(cBuff,"%s\\iux\\icons\\Amdatabg.bmp",getenv("SystemDrive"));
else
strcpy(cBuff,"C:\\icons\\mypic.bmp");
printf("background wallpaper is %s\n",cTmpData);
printf("should be %s\n",cBuff);
lResult = RegSetValueEx(hKeyResult,
"Wallpaper",
0,

printf("error is %s\n",cBuff);

Thanks, I haven't tried it out yet but will it automatically update the background or do I need to restart the system? I would also assume that I woulnd't set "TileWallpaper" if I didn't want that option, but rather just show the image centered.
Cheers,
Clint

Off the top of my head (no copy of MSDN kicking about) i think u should be able to use the API SystemParametersInfo
Should work something like:
<br />
if( SystemParametersInfo( SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, ( PVOID ) TEXT( "background.bmp" ), SPIF_SENDCHANGE | SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE ) == TRUE )<br />
{
<br />
}<br />
